Every young mind would light up hearing Goa and most of the parents are delusional to send their children to Goa. However, it totally depends on the individual to dodge the culture, activities and on the bright side, the administration is really strict regarding it.

I scored 359 in BITS this year and have a Mains rank just above 4k.Should I opt for IIIT Allahabad IT or BITS hyd/Goa CSE?

DA
Divya Arora Posted On : September 7th, 2022
Studied at BITS Pilani, Hyderabad Campus (Graduated 2022)

You should choose BITS Hyderabad/Goa. BITS Goa CSE is considered to be on the same level as the Pilani campus. The Hyderabad campus has made some radical improvements over the last few years, as well. Due to the presence of Hyderabad IT hub, the placement and career opportunities available are ample. 

BITS offers a lot of freedom to students. Their no-attendance rule and the flexible course structure allow students to explore and take different courses according to their interests. You can leverage these benefits to shape your career, the way you want. 

BITS placements are comparable to old IITs. Almost all major recruiting companies that visit IITs, visit BITS as well.

What should I prefer, BITS Goa for ECE or NIT Rourkela for CSE?

DJ
Dinesh Johri Posted On : August 23rd, 2021
Studying B.Tech from National Institutes of Technology (2024)

Go for NIT Rourkela if you are getting a seat in CSE. It is considered as one of the best NITs for CSE. 

The coding culture at the institute is outstanding and still developing day by day. You will be offered great exposure at NIT Rourkela. However, the institute has very high cut off and the competition is high.

Statistics –

Particulars BITS Goa NIT Rourkela
Total fees 19.19 Lakhs 6.4 Lakhs
Placement percent 90% 85%
Highest salary INR 40 LPA INR 42 LPA
Average salary INR 12 LPA INR 12 LPA

BITS Pilani is a good option but not for ECE. It would be better if you go for CSE at NIT Rourkela.

Aakash Dasgupta Posted On : August 14th, 2020

If you are eligible for all the above-mentioned colleges then BITS Goa and NIT Trichy are two of the best options. 

BITS Goa offers Computer Science with a total fee of 14.7 lakhs. Last year, the college scored a placement record of above 90% with the highest CTC of 56 LPA in the CS department. The cut-off last year for CSE was 352 so you may get selected.

NIT Trichy offers CSE with a course fee of 5.72 lakhs, so there is one advantage of qualifying for an NIT in India. The cut-off rank for JEE Main lies between  280-5317 at this institute. The CSE branch had 100% placement last year with it being the highest recruiting branch for the past 3 years in the college. 

IIT Bhubaneswar offers CSE at a fee of 7.91 lakhs, and the JEE Advanced closing cut-off was between 1246-4068. The CSE branch had 100% placement with salaries ranging between 10-35 LPA in 2019 placement.

Which is better, NIT Kurukshetra for EEE or BITS Pilani Goa for a dual degree?

TR
Tathagata Roy Posted On : August 23rd, 2021
B.Tech Electrical Engineering, MNNIT, Allahabad

I have few friends from both NIT Kurukshetra and BITS Pilani, so I think I can answer the question. First, I would like to clarify that NIT Kurukshetra does not offer EEE, it offers EE. These two branches are quite different. 

  • Based on the reviews I got from my friends, I will say that both NIT K and BITS Goa are quite good. But BITS Goa is comparatively better in terms of infrastructure and placements. According to the placement reports, the average CTC offered at BITS Goa is 5 LPA.
  • If you have the option to go for the dual degree in Electrical at BITS Goa then go for it, provided you don’t have a problem with the hefty course fee. BITS Goa will offer better exposure and opportunities. 
  • The faculty of BITS Goa is also better than that of NIT K. 
  • BITS and NIT have similar brand values. 

The only advantage of NIT K is the low course fee. So, given the option choose BITS Goa.
