If I had to choose from IIT Ropar, IIT Gandhinagar, and IIT Roorkee, I would have gone for IIT Ropar. Let’s compare the institutes and their branches individually.

IIT Ropar and IIT Gandhinagar (CS):

• The CS department of IIT Ropar is much older than the CS department of IIT Gandhinagar.
• IIT Ropar has 73 seats in CSE while IIT Gandhinagar has only 38, this is why the Closing rank of IIT Gandhinagar was better last year, while the Opening Rank of IIT Ropar is better.
• IIT Ropar was ranked 22 by NIRF while IIT Gandhinagar was ranked 23.

IIT Ropar CS and IIT Roorkee EE:

• Those who opt for IIT Roorkee EE will eventually end up in CS and in fact, they will have to invest double the efforts than IIT Rapor CS. 
• Students who take EE will have to complete an EE course along with studying CS in their free time to prepare for placements.
• EE students will have to compete with CS students in placements because Software companies will prefer CS or ECE students over EE students.

All in all, IIT Ropar CSE offers better job opportunities, and thus the general preference order looks like 

IIT Ropar CSE >> IIT Roorkee EE >~ IIT GN CSE.

Both IIT Roorkee and IIT Kharagpur are well-renowned institutions for electrical engineering studies. It all depends on personal preferences and priorities. Some students may prefer the academic focus of IIT Roorkee, while others may prefer the research opportunities at IIT Kharagpur. Both institutes have equally good labs and research facilities. However, IIT KGP being the oldest has a slight advantage over IIT Roorkee.

• IIT KGP boasts a massive and beautiful campus
• It has numerous international collaborations
•  2/*7 wifi facility is available within the campus with an average speed of 7–9 Mbps. 
• Every hostel room at IIT KGP has 3 LAN ports with 70–80 MBPS speed.
• DC++ is available at IIT KGP
• IIT KGP lets students explore their interests through a wide variety of clubs.
• IIT KGP brand name will make you employable in the international market. 
• IIT KGP is going to become the first smart college in India with 3 helipads, and an Ola pedal. 

All these points prove that IIT KGP is a better option than IIT Roorkee for EE.

It is difficult to say which program is better as it is more of a matter of personal interest than program worth. However, it is a well-established fact that IITs are highly respected and provide an excellent education in the field of computer science and engineering (CSE). Both the CSE programs; the 5-year program at IIT Kharagpur and the 4-year program at IIT Guwahati, IIT Roorkee, and IIT BHU are equally good academically.

If it’s placements you are concerned about, IIT BHU will satisfy all your expectations as it has the best companies, amazing coding culture, and an elaborate alumni network. The highest package for 2022-2023 placements was reported to be INR 1.2 CPA with top companies like Microsoft Google, and Facebook visiting the campus to hire for their Seattle/California office. Most reputed companies in India pay a visit to IIT BHU and sometimes offer more than one offer to each student. Some students even have PPOs way before the placement season begins. If placements are your concern you can rest assured as the CSE branch at IIT BHU offers the best packages in top companies. Some top recruiters include

• Rakuten
• Uber
• Zeta
• Microsoft SWE
• Oracle

Additionally, it would be important to consider your personal interests, career goals, and other factors when making this decision.

Having worked at both, my sister shared her experience at CSIR IHBT and IIT Roorkee. So, I feel I will do justice to this question.

CSIR labs are national R&D organizations whereas IITs are premiere engineering institutes of higher education. 

The main focus in the CSIR lab is put on the chemistry of natural products and is well-known for its excellent biotechnology research. IIT Roorkee, on the other hand, is mainly an engineering institute with research facilities. The Institute certainly has a great research culture but like CSIR, research isn’t the primary focus, education is.

My suggestion will be to go for IIT Roorkee if your research inclination is towards chemical engineering, instrumentation engineering, or some other field. But if you want to conduct extensive research on Organic Chemistry or Biotechnology then CSIR-IHBT is a better place.

Today, CS is one of the most preferred domains and its demand is growing at a very fast rate in the job market. For anyone whose ultimate goal is high packages in top firms, CS should be the only choice. No other branch can fetch you packages as high as CS. 

As a BITS Pilani student, you can access the extensive alumni pool and develop strong networks in industries. Also, the CS placements at BITS Pilani are top-notch

I wouldn't suggest you go for ECE IIT Roorkee unless you are genuinely interested in that field and want to pursue a career in it.

The job opportunities in both Chemical and Civil are very limited and it’s also difficult to switch domains later. The core opportunities consist of more of a blue collared job. One can go for Government jobs if interested.

Go for CS in BITS Goa if you are looking for excellent placement opportunities or higher education. CS provides excellent opportunities in terms of higher studies and research work. But if you are adamant about Civil or Chemical, go only if you are genuinely interested, and that too after in-depth research about the nature of work.

The only drawback of joining BITS Goa is the exorbitant fees which might be a major issue for many. Apart from this the branch is very promising and is expected to grow more so. It’s recommended to contact working professionals in the field once and enquire about career prospects. Also, go for CS only after gaining a basic level of coding skills.
