is bits pilani or vellore institute is good for mtech?

yes,


The Ranking of Engineering Schools is made up as follows:
50% - Educational Quality
25% - Academic Success is based upon 'understanding'
12% - Creativity Encouragement
5% - Work is Useful
4% - Faculty Accessibility
4% - University Funding Use


The rationale behind this ranking structure is as follows:

Educational Quality - (in program). Educational Quality is a umbrella over many issues designed to capture (overall) the quality and depth of instruction at an institution.

Academic Success is based upon understanding - While a student may be learning and exceptional amount from his or her program, upon graduation, his or her initial earning power (salary) and job quality will be largely dominated by grades.
This metric is an estimation of how well the grades a student receives actually match with their competency in the material. Some schools stake their reputation on their ability to spread out grades ('no grade inflation') and to make very qualified and competent students suffer later in life (earning power) for the sake of the school reputation. This does students and families a great disservice, as they are making significant investments for both the education and reputation to assist them. Instead, by spreading grades, the school is taking that investment and punishing the customer.

Creativity Encouragement - Engineering, particularly is noted for its lack of creativity. Some people have noted that creativity has no place in engineering. However, this is the exact opposite of being true. Nowadays, more than ever, practical engineering itself is reduced to an overengineered process. Unfortunately, many of the tasks taken by engineers, if lacking creativity can be reduced to simple programs. The engineer is seen more as a 'translator' between the human ideas & management and the physical implementation. Creativity however, makes the engineer more than just a tool, bringing value (salary/job reliability) to them immediately and further into the future.

Usefulness of work - Being kept busy, repeating mundane application tasks does not guarantee that a student becomes grounded in both the techniques and theory to be a good engineer. Rather, it can lead to student burnout, causing them to waste significant amounts of tuition moneys in a degree program that becomes unused.

Faculty Accessibility - Ultimately, faculty interaction is why students attend colleges and universities. Otherwise, a student could easily view lectures on webcast or simply read the book. Ideally the faculty provides access to more information, more resources, a network, and a link to the real world that the student can learn from and access. If the faculty do not make themselves available, then they reduce the deeper educational capacity of the institution and hamstring the students — essentially making them walk up to and dive off of a diving board blindfolded with only the 'theoretical knowledge' that there is water in the pool, there are no alligators, or that the diving board even exists.

University Funding Use - This is how readily the students see that the university funding is being used for their benefit. The immediate implications ones of facilities and resources that the students can use to grow beyond the classroom. The long term implication is that if the University continues using its funding in a manner beneficial to students, then the value of the students' degrees, post graduation, will continue to rise.


Filtering
Student Surveys are filtered of duplicate and “invalid” surveys prior to ranking. Invalid surveys are those that are not self-consistent, reflecting a corrupting effect on the data, either accidental or with intent. We have found that certain inclined students survey their “competing” schools, giving artificially bad (or good of their own school) reviews. While we do not wish to point any fingers, we have been able to link up several groupings of falsified data with admissions staff at some universities.
5,000 valid surveys were analyzed statistically, and a gaussian matrix was created to model the survey patterns within and between surveys.
We can now identify those surveys that: vary too little, vary too much, have fields that do not covary properly, or are inconsistent. (i.e. rating the university as an A for friendliness, but then complaining either about the people or the social life). In addition, a rule-base system was created to identify duplicates and model trends of surveys from the same machine.
This allows us to be able to identify if a person is falsifying many surveys. FFT analysis is employed to determine the “data content” of each survey as well, providing more information for modeling.
The resulting filter, correlation matrix, and survey model is applied uniformly to all surveys. Out of 7,500 undergraduate student surveys, 483 surveys were rendered invalid. Inspection of the invalid surveys revealed a failure rate of 5%. (24 of the 483 surveys were actually “good",2.5).



good luck....................

NOt good , but wonderful and even more better option is GATE exam for mtech through IITs.

Better to go for BITS,Pilani. and If you're not getting there then try for automotive branch in VIT VELLORE,Its really good..

BITS,Pilani is a very good institute with max. placements

BITS pilani superb dear

What is the procedure of admission.

sir,
i got gate score 351... can i get m.tech(cs) seat in a good clg....

when is the entrance test ? or is thr ne criteria in of class 12th %???

go for bits pilani ,it has better ranking then vit , vellore

Sir,
What is the admission procedure for part time m.tech from bits pilani in instrumentation and control??
