What should I prefer, IT from KJ Somaiya or CS from Vivekanand?
IT from KJ Somaiya is the better option. Since it is an autonomous college, you will get several benefits like -
- At KJ Somaiya, some electives and inter-disciplinary courses are introduced from the 3rd year onwards. So, you can easily get a grip on the subjects. You won’t find much difference between the IT syllabus of KJ Somaiya and the CS syllabus of Vivekanand.
- KJ Somaiya has its own start-up incubation cell. It is known as RiiDL. If you have a great project or startup idea, and you can manage to convince RiiDL, of the potential of your idea, you can get ample funding and resources. The institute also has an entrepreneurship-promoting body, BloomBox. If you have any start-up ideas, you can get their help regarding contacts and resources.
- KJ Somaiya placements are biased towards IT and COMPS. Around 90% of students get placed in IT and CSE courses each year with an average CTC of INR 6 LPA.
These are the reasons that make KJ Somaiya a better option.
What is your opinion about IIM Raipur for a GEM from NITW earning 13 LpA in the IT industry with 22 months work experience?
Let’s make this easy to understand by comparing what you will be earning in 2 years if you continue to work here and the average package you might be offered after completing an MBA of 2 years.
Your current salary is 13 LPA. So in 2 years, you will be earning around 16 LPA. The average salary of IIM Raipur is INR 17.73 LPA. Now if you compare the two you will see there isn’t much difference between the two. In fact, if you go for an MBA you will end up with an extra loan. Paying back the hefty loan is itself a big task. So, in my opinion, you should continue working in the firm.
If you really want to pursue MBA, prepare for CAT next year and aim for an older IIM as it might improve your opportunities. Then again go for CAT again only if you are confident that you will
be able to ace it.

Which is better for CSE/IT Manipal University Jaipur (MUJ), MAIT, MSIT, USICT or BVCOE?
There are several parameters to compare B.Tech CSE/IT at all these colleges. However, I have listed the placement stats of CSE/IT branches at these to make your choice easier-
Placements-
- Manipal University Jaipur-
Various companies recruited CS/IT students from Manipal University Jaipur this year. Some of these were- Accenture, Adobe, Amazon, Capgemini, Cisco, Cognizant, Dell Technologies, etc. This year, 98% engineering students were successfully placed from MUJ at an average package of 9 LPA.
- MAIT-
Last year, 35 CSE students were successfully placed from MAIT. The list of recruiters included- Atlassian, Amazon, Goldman Sachs, ION Trading, Juspay Technologies Pvt Ltd, Bain & Company, etc. Atlassian offered the highest package of 57.6 LPA, followed by 44 LPA from Amazon.
- MSIT-
Atlassian, CRED, Microsoft, Adobe, Amazon, Google and Cisco were some of the companies that offered jobs to CS/IT Students from MSIT this year. The highest package of 80 LPA was offered by Atlassian, followed by CRED which offered 52 LPA.
- USICT
The branch-wise placement records are not available for USICT. But the overall placement stats are available for reference. Last year, various companies visited the USICT campus for placements. Some of them were- Amazon, Byju’s, Oracle, HCL, TCS, Huawei, etc.
The highest package was 45 LPA, and the average package was 12 LPA. In total, 70+ companies visited the campus, and 90% students were successfully placed.
- BVCOE

The placements at all these colleges were good. However, the figures made the scenarios a bit more clear. The choice ultimately depends on your personal preference.
Which university should I prefer for a CS/IT: G.L. Bajaj, Greater Noida or Galgotias University?
Both G L Bajaj and Galgotias University are decent options for CS or IT branches. However, you will like to refer to the following points before choosing one
Choose G.L. Bajaj if you are self-motivated and determined to work hard because the institute has a rigid academic environment with many restrictions on attendance and such. Galgotia University on the other hand offers a huge sense of freedom with no restrictions at all. You are free to do whatever you want.
Another major factor to consider is the distance from Greater Noida. G.L. Bajaj is situated in the heart of Greater Noida, whereas Galgotias University is situated almost 15-17 Km from Greater Noida.
Honestly, the faculty pool of both colleges is below average. However, if I were to compare then G L Bajaj still has a handful of experienced professors
Addressing the elephant in the room, it can be said that the placement scenario isn't very different at both the colleges. Galgotias University is newly established but is doing quite well in terms of placements. Here is a comparative analysis of the placement scenario of both the colleges

The placements are similar with G L Bajaj giving a slight edge to Galgotias University.
I will personally recommend you to opt for a better engineering college than these two institutes.

ECE and IT are two completely different streams in the field of Engineering and hence, one must go for the stream he/she wants to pursue. However, choosing the right college to build a student’s career is also important. So the following points can be taken into consideration for choosing between IIEST Shibpur and Delhi Technological University(DTU). IIEST Shibpur is ranked 20th in India by NIRF / MHRD in the Year 2019. Whereas, DTU presently ranks 62 by the NIRF.
Cut-off: Both the institute takes admission based on a valid score in JEE Main followed by Joint Admission Counselling.

Fees:
-
At DTU the average fees per year are 1.95 lakhs.
-
For IIEST Shibpur the average fees per year are 1.37 lakhs.
Thus in terms of fees, BTech in IIEST Shibpur costs less than that of DTU.
Placement:
-
Headed by a Renowned Ex IIT Director, IIEST Shibpur got the highest placement record of 75% in IT, last year. It witnessed the highest salary package of INR 39.12 LPA.
-
Whereas, 170 out of 192 that is 88.5% of students got placed in ECE in DTU. The highest salary for B.Tech ECE during the last placement was INR 39 LPA.
So, DTU is much ahead in terms of placements.
You can apply for any of the two colleges keeping in mind the above-mentioned comparisons. DTU and IIEST Shibpur are the two most renowned colleges in India. However, IIEST is ranked higher and offers better placement than DTU. Nevertheless, the first thing that you have to consider is which stream you want to study and then decide a college depending upon that. Now, if you haven't decided anything and is confused between the above two streams, then studying IT at IIEST Shibpur is a better option.
What should I choose between VIIT Pune (IT) and PVG (CS)?
VIIT should be the one to go for. First of all, it is an autonomous institute and has a good placement record in CS/IT branch and provides the best ROI, unlike PVG which is neither an autonomous institute nor has good placement. Both of them have minimum complimentary campus infrastructure.
VIIT falls under one of the emerging and best universities in Maharashtra i.e. Vishwakarma University. If we look at other parameters like Faculty, Placement, and Infrastructure, VIIT excels in all. It is improving at a good rate nowadays.

Looking in terms of branches, the course might be different in both colleges because the specializations are different. The placement statistics are also different while other parameters are industry project remains the same or common.
Based on these factors, it is advisable to join VIIT for CS, IT, and E&TC rather than going for PVG.
