Bachelor of Technology [B.Tech] (Computer Science and Engineering) From IET Lucknow, Lucknow

I can give you some information on both institutes since I have friends from both IET Lucknow and JSS Noida. Based on the reviews that I got from my friends I will say choosing JSS Noida will be better. It has a locational advantage, which plays a crucial role.

• The curriculum of JSS Noida is in accordance with the current industry trends. In the first two semesters, you will learn the same courses as any other engineering institutes in India. You can get the detailed syllabus from the website.
• JSS has a good reputation in the industry. Alumni of the institute are working on Google, Microsoft, etc. Many reputed companies visit the campus for the placement drive including IBM, Wipro, TCS, Amazon, etc.

For IET, the location is an issue. The faculty and curriculum are not that great either. So, I will suggest you choose JSS Noida.

IET Lucknow is a very popular engineering institute of our country. A lot of students across the country apply for admissions in the B.Tech courses offered in this college. One of my friends studied here, and I will be sharing the information I gathered from him.

• To study B.Tech in this college you will have to pay around 3.44 lakhs for all the semesters and this is excluding the extra expenses. 
• This fee is based if you are not opting to live in IET hostels.
• The extra expenses will vary among students. 
• This will include books, stationery and other daily necessities you will require everyday. 
• So, in total you will have to spend around 15,000 each semester to buy the necessary items.

This is the total fees you will have to spend to pursue B.Tech in CSE from IET Lucknow. This fee is pretty decent when compared to other private colleges where you will have to spend more than 10 lakhs in the total duration of 4 years.

My brother scored 428 in 2015, and he was qualified for the CSE branch, but instead, he chose ME. In the current situation, a score of more than 440 is required to obtain a spot in CSE.

Because the cut-off for each year varies, it's difficult to specify what the minimum marks are required for CSE.

You can check the cut-off stats for CSE in the last few years in the table below. 

Hope this gives you some idea about the cutoff required for CSE at IET Lucknow. 

No, your performance should be better than this to get admission into the CSE branch of IET Lucknow.

• The general category faces higher cut-offs while the female category gets around a 5% chance with high ranks with the UPSEE examination.
• If you belong to the ST/SC category then you might get any branch.
• If you belong to the OBC category there are chances of getting an EI or CHE branch.
• Although this rank is also not suitable for their branches as well.
• You will have to prepare hard in the upcoming year for getting the branch of your choice.

The cut offs of CSE branch at IET Lucknow is as follows:

It is suggested that you work hard for another year to get selected in a branch of your choice.

Your rank is good and you may get CS and IT branches. But getting another branch will be difficult for you at this rank. But you can get admission with this rank in any other government college. The closing rank for the first round at IET Lucknow is 15000 for the general category and 16000 for the spot round. 

The cut-off for the CSE branch at IET Lucknow is as follows:

You can try the CSE branch at KNIT or MMM. You can try for other branches and after the first year, you can opt for a branch changing option.

CSE is considered a better option than ECE in today’s current scenario and has much better scope and field of work. The scope for CSE broadens with each passing day and with every new invention in the fields of technology and the IT sector. Although ECE is one of the core branches of IET Lucknow still CSE has more demand compared to it.

Following are some drawbacks of the ECE branch at IET Lucknow over CSE:

• You need a higher percentage of attendance to become eligible for exams. Less attendance leads to deduction of marks.
• The syllabus is huge for every semester
• The professors are very strict with the evaluation process and do not give marks easily
• There are a lot of lab practicals and assignments to complete in a very short period of time.

CSE has a better environment than ECE with no strict attendance regulation. The professors in the CSE department are friendly. The placement of the CSE branch is far better than any other branch in IET Lucknow. 

Both IET Lucknow and Banasthali are very good colleges for CSE and offer very good facilities to its students. Having to know some people studying in both these colleges, I can share some details about them which might answer your question.

• In IET Lucknow, students get very good opportunities in terms of internships and placements. 
• A lot of companies visit the campus for placements but they select a few deserving students. Make sure you have the knowledge and skills to secure placements.
• Banasthali is also a very good college to pursue CSE. 
• The campus is very big and the hostels are well maintained. The placement scenario is better than IET. 
• Many top companies like Microsoft, Goldman Sachs visit the campus for placement opportunities.

Hence, both the colleges are very good in terms of placements and college life and it depends on your preferences and requirements on which college you will choose and take admission. 

Both of the institutions are situated at a distance of 80 km from each other. IET Lucknow is situated in the industrial capital of Uttar Pradesh and the HBTI Kanpur is situated in the Political capital. If you live in one of the two cities, you can choose accordingly; otherwise, this factor has no significance.

1. According to AKTU, both the institutes are ranked at number 1 and number 2 in UP, but the situation is completely different analytically. HBTI is a well-known institution and has been the parent institute of IIT Kanpur and Uttar Pradesh Textile Institute. 
2. Both the institutes are government-run with complete control over examinations and the curriculum of courses offered by them.
3. If you enjoy programming, Computer Science would be the appropriate course for you, while Mechanical Engineering is for those who want to acquire a genuine sense of what engineering is all about.
4. The faculty of IET Lucknow is better than that of HBTI. 
5. You will have numerous opportunities outside the campus. The placement statistics for the mechanical department are not very good at both institutes, but placement in the CS department is extremely good.

Make your decision based on the branch and not the institution as it would have a major impact on your career.
