Choosing neither of those choices would be outright foolishness. You would be foolish if you waste the chance of getting a seat here. 

BITS Goa and top NITs, both have their merits. Speaking from a friend’s experience with BITS Pilani Goa campus has great opportunities for CSE and for the overall development of students as well.

You can talk to someone from NITs about how things are there to get an idea, and then make a choice. Both institutions produce good engineers, so irrespective of what you choose, it will help you if you use the opportunity and facilities offered properly.

Among the 3 institutions mentioned above, I would suggest you go for BITS Pilani Goa or Hyderabad campus. Being a student of BITS Goa myself, I can say that it is one of the best colleges in the country.

• Most of these campuses are alike, differing just from the IITs.
• Academics at BITS are much better than NIT Kurukshetra (KKR).
• The placements at BITS are better than the newer IITs.
• The campus is well maintained and has modern infrastructure and facilities.
• They follow a no-reservation policy.
• It also has a better reputation than almost all NITs and newer IITs.
• The only thing which could be problematic for some students is the fees.

Finally, if you want to study in a good college, ECE at BITS Pilani Goa campus will be a really good option. As it will provide you with enough exposure.

NSUT is the winner among the two engineering institutes. The reasons for the win are below.

• NSUT has a superior ranking by the Ministry of Education. It is ranked 76th in NIRF Ranking for Engineering 2020. BITS has no place in the rank.
• NSUT has the location advantage as it is in the capital city. Delhi is more accessible to the students, guest faculties, and recruitment companies.
• Another main reason is the return on investment (ROI). ROI of NSUT is the best as compared to BITS. The fee of BITS is extremely high that it can take a toll on the pockets of students. Students do not have to worry about borrowing or paying back their education loans.

The details about fees and the placements of both institutes are below.

Overall, NSUT is the best as per the above points. The institute provides better growth opportunities for students.

One of my friends studied at BITS Goa and his experience there was quite nice. He doesn’t regret even a bit of it. He mentioned a few points that may give you a clear idea about BITS Goa. Let’s discuss them one by one.

• BITS Goa doesn't have any reservation rule for any of the students.
• There has been evidently seen that many students who cracked JEE have left their seat to take admission in BITS Goa.
• Students are very passionate at BITS Goa. You can join clubs to enhance your creativity.
• Besides being involved in the clubs of the college, some students are 100% dedicated to their studies.
• The library of the college is always filled with students.
• BITS Goa is even strict about attendance. Thus, students have to attend classes regularly.
• This college follows a Relative Grading System. This means your semester performance will affect your entire result.
• The faculties of the research department are really supportive and helpful.
• BITS provides a few courses of humanities stream, with a major in Humanities and minor programs in Economics and Humanities.
• Besides academics, you’ll see students celebrating each other's cultures and festivals with all their enthusiasm.

Hence, BITS Goa will provide you with remarkable opportunities from which you can enhance your special skills. This indeed is the best thing about BITS Goa.

Since most of my friends studied at BITS Goa. It is suggested you go for it, as my friends had nothing but good things to say about the institute. According to them, it is the best institute for CS without any doubt.

• BITS Goa has no reservation policies, the peers are quite competitive, so be prepared for that.
• Moreover, the only flaw is that it can be expensive for financially weak students.
• But this institute provides scholarships which is a great solution to this problem.

• If we talk about the Computer Science department, you will get to learn a lot as it is the best program on Goa Campus.
• Furthermore, BITS Pilani and Goa have the best culture when it comes to coding.

• Besides academics, the campus is well maintained, the hostels are all hygienic and the food of mess is also appreciable.

BITS Goa has been listed among the top 5 IITs in the GSoC selections every year. It has remarkably beaten up some prominent IITs.

If you are efficient and hard-working, then NIT Surathkal can be the best choice for you. If not, then you can go for BITS Goa. 

Depending upon various factors, the IT department of NIT Surathkal is slightly better. It is so because it is one of the most reputed NITs in the country, and IT is several steps ahead of ECE.

If BITS Pilan would have been your other option, the thoughts would have turned around. But since it is BITS Goa, then your choice must remain NIT Surathkal. 

Both the college you have mentioned are not directly related. There’s nothing in common besides the brand name that they carry. 

Let’s talk about the institutes one by one.

BIMTECH, Greater Noida:

• The name expands to the Birla Institute of Management Technology (BIMTECH)
• It is located in the heart of Greater Noida.
• It is a postgraduate business school that offers PGDM courses in various specializations

Jayashree Mohta is BIMTECH’s Chairperson & Dr. H. Chaturvedi is known to be BIMTECH’s Director

BITS Pilani, Goa:

• BITS expands to Birla Institute of Technology and Science, Pilani - K. K. Birla Goa Campus. BITS Pilani has around 3-4 campuses, Goa campus is one of them. Also, you would like to know that Pilani is the main college and is located in Rajasthan.
• It is a technical and science institute for higher education that offers the best courses in B. E., M. Sc., M.E., and Doctoral Programmes

Kumar Mangalam Birla is BITS, Pilani’s Chancellor & Raghuram Gunaje is BITS, Pilani’s Director.

Both of them belong to the same BIRLA Family but were started by different people. BITS Pilani was started by St. G.D. Birla. Whereas BIMTECH was started by Late Syt. B.K. Birla (youngest son of Late G.D. Birla. Hence, both the institutes are different and offer different courses.

All of the mentioned institutes are very reputed and considered among the top engineering colleges in India. The academics and course curriculum are the best with excellent placement opportunities. A lot of reputed companies are known to visit the campuses with decent salary packages. 

Students take programming very seriously and practice it a lot as it is one of the necessary skills required to become a computer engineer. The companies select students based on their coding skills and knowledge rather than looking for academic credentials. You will be selected based on your profiles on GitHub and Topcoder. Salary packages range from 5-50 LPA depending on your skills and experience. 

I have some friends who have become managers in computer engineering through personal learning and luck too. To rank these colleges, I would put NIT Calicut first, then NIT Surathkal and BITS Goa at last. The NITs are excellent and only the main campus of BITS Pilani is comparable to the NITs. 

First of all, you need to understand what you want. Do you want higher education or a placement? Then ask yourself whether you want only computer science because you love the subject or simply because you want a good placement.

• If you love computer science, then do not worry and join NIT Calicut. You will learn it in an elaborate way and can then pursue a master’s or doctorate degree. 
• The fee at NIT Calicut is also lower than that of BITS Pilani.
• However, if you are like the majority of people who want CSE for placements, then I would suggest you consider BITS Pilani or any of its other campuses. 
• You have to understand that a CSE degree is not compulsory to learn to code. 
• If you join ECE or ENI programs and learn to code yourself. You can easily land a job in any IT company. 
• The salary package you will receive at BITS Pilani (any campus) will be better than that of NIT Calicut.
• The college life of BITS Pilani will also be very good. 
• You will not have the pressure of attendance. 
• There are lots of extra-curricular activities you can participate in also.

ENI and ECE are technically different branches but they are almost the same. Except for the high fee of BITS Pilani, I do not feel BITS Pilani or Goa campus is anything less worthwhile than NIT Calicut. In fact, if you want only placements, then BITS Pilani any campus should be your choice.

One of my friends is a recent sophomore at BITS Goa. He shared his first day experience there. He was shortlisted following the fourth iteration. Here is what he has to say about it,

• He was overwhelmed after actually visualizing the campus of BITS Goa.
• Due to the rainy season then, greenery dominated the campus.
• He mentioned that his first day was essentially exciting.
• Following the completion of formalities, he was allotted the room CH6 in BITS Goa hostel.
• The rooms of the hostels were stand alone, and did not have sharing policies.
• The food provided at the mess is slightly decent, since it is quite mainstream.
• The mess food does not necessarily change until at least 2 weeks, which is partially one reason why it is pretty much not heavily liked by other students.
• However, the menu is still better than what it is in other institutes, sometimes even IITs.

He mentions that his first day experience was one of the best he ever had. Following the long journey, he momentarily gave himself time to wonder which clubs to join next. This was his experience at BITS Goa on his first day.
