Abhishek Question by Abhishek on May 28, 2025
Career

Respected sir, Will it be a good decision to do B.Tech. in AI &ML from NXTWAVE INSTITUTE OF ADVANCE TECHNOLOGY. I am so confused.

Ans: Abhishek, NxtWave Institute of Advanced Technologies (NIAT) offers a unique B.Tech program in AI & ML focused on industry-relevant skills, hands-on projects, and real-world learning. The curriculum is regularly updated and taught by industry-certified faculty, with strong mentorship and placement support connecting students to top tech companies. NIAT emphasizes practical coding, AI/ML specialization, and prepares students for software roles through active, project-based learning rather than traditional lecture methods. Many students report positive outcomes in skill development and job placements. However, NIAT is a newer institute with a non-traditional approach, blending tech bootcamp elements with a degree. If you seek a conventional university experience, NIAT may differ from typical engineering colleges. For those focused on job readiness and fast-tracked industry entry in AI/ML, NIAT is a promising option. Consider your learning style and career goals before deciding. Have some other options also as backups before finally deciding. All the best for your admission and a bright future!

Asked on - May 31, 2025 Sir, I have got 2319 rank in IMUCET2025. I want to do B.Tech. in Marine Engineering from IMUcapuses. I have no sponsorship of any shipping company. Are there chances of getting good job after completing the marine engineering.
Ans: With an IMUCET rank of 2,319, admission to B.Tech Marine Engineering at premier IMU campuses (Chennai, Mumbai, Kolkata) is feasible, as historical cutoffs for General category often extend beyond 3,000 ranks for core campuses. IMU campuses report 90–99% placement rates for Marine Engineering graduates, with top recruiters like Anglo-Eastern, MSC, Fleet Management, and Maersk actively hiring through campus drives. While sponsorship is not mandatory for IMU admissions, securing onboard training/jobs post-graduation relies on campus recruitment, where 80–90% of students secure placements in maritime roles (e.g., Marine Engineer, Technical Superintendent) or offshore sectors. For backup, explore lateral entry into Mechanical/Electrical Engineering via state exams or private institutes like Tolani Maritime Institute (direct admissions with placement support). Prioritize IMU’s structured internships and DG Shipping certifications to enhance employability.

Sir, my daughter got 20000 OBC NCL rank in jee main. She is interested in Govt jobs in future. Which will be better. NIT Bhopal Mechanical or NIT Silchar Chemical or IIIT Bhubaneswar CSE. Kindly reply
Ans: Mahesh Sir, NIT Bhopal’s Mechanical Engineering, with NBA accreditation and a 90.3% placement rate in 2023, boasts robust core labs, an active training?and?placement cell, and annual visits by over 200 recruiters, including leading PSUs, resulting in 88% of the 2024 batch securing offers. NIT Silchar’s Chemical Engineering, NBA accredited and affiliated to a central university, recorded an 82.4% placement rate in 2023, supported by specialized chemical and process engineering facilities, mandatory internships, and sector?focused recruiters but fewer PSU drives compared to core branches. IIIT Bhubaneswar’s CSE, NAAC accredited, features modern computing, AI/ML, and cybersecurity labs, with 71% CSE placements in 2024 through 42 recruiters, though PSU participation is limited in IT roles. For students aiming at government sector careers—especially in PSUs recruiting heavily from core engineering streams—strong core infrastructure, dedicated PSU placement drives, and alumni networks are critical factors.

Final recommendation: For a clear pathway into PSUs and government engineering roles, recommendation is NIT Bhopal Mechanical, given its superior PSU engagement, dedicated core labs, and consistently high placement rates. All the BEST for Admission & a Prosperous Future!
