IIT Placements: which engineering college placement is better Patna vs Gandhinagar

IIT Placements: which engineering college placement is better Patna vs Gandhinagar

Both IIT Gandhinagar and IIT Patna, which were founded in 2008, have steadily increased the number of students placed there, with IIT Patna having the highest average wage packages. To assist prospective students in making well-informed decisions, this article presents a comparison of their placement statistics from 2018 to 2023.

In the field of engineering, the Indian Institutes of Technology (IIT) Gandhinagar and Patna are both emerging stars. As these schools become more well-known, it’s critical to look at their placement histories throughout time in order to assist prospective students in making wise choices. The 2008 founding of IIT Gandhinagar and IIT Patna led to their rapid rise to prominence. IIT Gandhinagar is ranked 18th, and IIT Patna is placed 34th in the NIRF 2024 Engineering Rankings. Their rising reputations are reflected in these rankings, yet

Enhance in average salary

IIT Patna has displayed a continual increase in average salaries given to its Computer Science graduates. From 2018-19 to 2022-23, there was a steady increase in the average annual salary from Rs 16.5 lakh to Rs 25 lakh. This increase demonstrates IIT Patna’s capacity to draw higher salary offers each year.

Similarly, the average pay increments at IIT Gandhinagar have demonstrated steady advancement. By 2022–2023, the average pay has risen from Rs 17 lakh in 2018–19 to Rs 24.5 lakh annually. IIT Gandhinagar’s consistent development, even though it hasn’t kept up with IIT Patna, shows that it is competitive in the job market.

IIT Patna has consistently been the top performer in terms of offering the highest salary packages. In the 2018-19 academic year, the top salary offered was Rs 40 lakh annually, which increased to Rs 56 lakh per annum by 2022-23. This advancement highlights the capability of IIT Patna in obtaining high-quality job opportunities for its students.

Highest salary packages at IIT Gandhinagar

 The highest compensation packages at IIT Gandhinagar have been rising. The highest pay package available in 2018–19 was Rs 35 lakh, and in 2022–2023 it increased to Rs 45 lakh. These figures are excellent, but they are not as good as what IIT Patna has to offer.

The success rate of placing students at both institutions has remained strong for many years. The placement rate at IIT Patna increased from 88% in 2018-19 to 95% in 2022-23. This gradual rise shows the increasing need for IIT Patna graduates in the workforce. IIT Gandhinagar has upheld a high placement rate, increasing from 87% in 2018-19 to 94.44% in 2022-23. Despite being slightly lower than IIT Patna, IIT Gandhinagar’s steady performance is impressive.

35.9 percent of placements in IIT Patna

IIT Patna had a strong representation in the IT sector, with 35.9 percent of placements in the year 2022-23. Over time, this trend has not changed. Moreover, IIT Patna has given a lot of importance to internships, with more than 55 percent of its CSE students getting internships in core industries annually.

In contrast, IIT Gandhinagar has a wide variety of industries represented in its placement statistics, including strong showings in analytics, consulting, and manufacturing fields. The organization places a strong emphasis on providing hands-on experience in the industry, regularly arranging internships for its students.

IIT Gandhinagar and IIT Patna have both demonstrated excellent placement rates over time, with IIT Patna gaining prominence due to its average and best compensation packages. The reliable performance of IIT Patna makes it a compelling option for students looking for lucrative job opportunities. Still, IIT Gandhinagar continues to be a strong choice, boasting various industry ties and a consistent placement record. When deciding between these two institutions for a career in Computer Science Engineering, aspiring engineers should take into account their career goals and industry preferences as both provide great opportunities.

SC Hearing on NEET PG 2024: Union of India is absent today, next hearing on Monday

SC Hearing on NEET PG 2024: Union of India is absent today, next hearing on Monday

SC Hearing on NEET PG 2024:  Today, September 27, the Supreme Court of India convened to address critical issues surrounding the NEET PG 2024 examination. This session marks a pivotal moment in the ongoing legal battle, as students voice their concerns through petitions challenging the National Board of Examinations in Medical Sciences (NBEMS) over transparency issues regarding the withholding of question papers, answer keys, and response sheets.

In a significant yet somewhat perplexing turn of events, the Supreme Court hearing today unfolded without the presence of the Union of India. This absence not only raises questions about the government’s engagement in crucial legal matters but also sets the stage for what’s to come in this ongoing case.

The Union’s Absence: A Notable Gap

The absence of the Union of India in court today is a noteworthy development. It highlights a potential gap in representation at a time when clarity and resolution are desperately needed. Such a situation can lead to various implications, especially considering the importance of the case at hand. Stakeholders and observers alike are left pondering the reasons behind this lack of attendance, which may affect the proceedings moving forward.

Tentative Scheduling for Next Week

Looking ahead, the case has been tentatively scheduled for Monday for NEET PG 2024 hearing. This provisional timeline gives hope for a swift resolution, yet it also carries an air of uncertainty. The legal landscape can shift dramatically, and there are murmurs that the hearing could potentially be pushed back to Wednesday. This possibility adds a layer of complexity, as those closely following the case must remain vigilant for any updates.

Waiting for Clarity: The Cause List

As we await further developments, all eyes are on the Supreme Court’s upcoming cause list. This document will be crucial in providing the clarity that both legal practitioners and the public seek. The cause list will confirm whether the hearing will proceed as tentatively planned or if it will be postponed. Until then, uncertainty looms, underscoring the unpredictable nature of legal proceedings.

Today’s Supreme Court hearing left us with more questions than answers. With the Union of India’s absence and a tentative schedule ahead, the landscape remains fluid. As we look forward to the publication of the cause list, we are reminded of the intricate dance of law and governance—a reminder that in the realm of justice, every detail matters. Stay tuned for updates as this case continues to unfold.

NEET PG 2024 Supreme Court Hearing Resumes Today

NEET PG 2024 Supreme Court Hearing Resumes Today

The Supreme Court of India is set to resume its hearing today, September 27, regarding the NEET PG 2024 examination. This session follows petitions filed by students challenging the National Board of Examinations in Medical Sciences (NBEMS) for its lack of transparency concerning the withholding of question papers, answer keys, and students’ response sheets from the NEET PG 2024 exams.

Background of the Case

The petitions arise from concerns over the opaque marking scheme used for the NEET PG results, which were announced on August 23, 2024. Petitioners argue that the absence of clarity around the evaluation process significantly hinders candidates’ ability to verify their scores and understand how their answers were assessed.

During today’s proceedings, Chief Justice DY Chandrachud raised critical questions regarding NBEMS’s decision to modify the exam pattern just three days before the tests. He described this approach as “unusual,” warning that such last-minute changes could lead to significant stress and confusion among students. The NBEMS has been ordered to submit a detailed response within a week, addressing the rationale behind these modifications.

Recap of the Previous Hearing

In the prior hearing on September 20, 2024, the Supreme Court expressed dissatisfaction with the timing of the changes to the exam format. The bench highlighted the undue pressure placed on students due to these abrupt alterations and instructed the NBEMS to provide a comprehensive explanation for the last-minute adjustments.

NEET PG 2024 Counselling Update

While the final verdict on the NEET PG 2024 examination is still pending, the Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) has already begun the registration process for NEET PG counselling as of September 20, 2024. Candidates who have successfully passed the NEET PG exams can register for counselling through the MCC’s official website at mcc.nic.in. However, students are advised that the complete counselling schedule, including details on all three rounds of counselling, is still awaited and will be announced soon.
