I can only guide you but only you know what is right for you. If you are serious about a career in CS, Thapar University will offer better opportunities and an environment. But if you want to explore other things and also want to enjoy your college life, then taking a dual degree at BITS Pilani will be a great choice for you. BITS has a very flexible curriculum so it allows you to explore your ambitions thoroughly and openly. Moreover, you will be exposed to a better crowd and culture so obviously the learning experience will be more enriched. Generally, both institutes have their pros and cons, and going through these will guide you better toward making a well-informed decision. 

Thapar University Pros: 

1. You will be able to study CS, which has amazing job opportunities.
2. You will complete your graduation in 4 years
3. Excellent accommodation facilities at par with BITS

Thapar University Cons:

1. 75% attendance rule
2. The crowd and academic ambiance are not at par with BITS because of the reservation policy.

BITS Pilani Pros:

1. No compulsory attendance rule
2. The packages offered are great but you will have to work hard for them
3. More talented and skilled peer groups because of no reservation
4. Dynamic campus life

BITS Pilani Cons:

1. You will be completing your graduation in 5 years, a year later than your BTech counterparts
2. You will have to study extraordinarily hard in the first year to get the branch of your choice.
3. Intense competition and academic pressure.

Lastly, don't take dual degrees in BITS on the pretext of getting  CS. Only a handful of students get to choose CS in dual degrees.

If you are a Human resource management lover then you sho should definitely opt for XLRI Jamshedpur HRM course. Otherwise, if you are looking for hardcore MBA courses then I would suggest you go for the IIFT Delhi IB program. It is their flagship course and only a very few institutes in the country offer the IB program and IIFT tops among all of them. 

Additionally, the value of IIFT Delhi in the corporate world is very renowned, and recruiters easily hire candidates from IIFT Delhi. Although XLRI is also a renowned institute, I am not a HR enthusiast so if I were at your place I would have gone for IIFT Delhi.

AIIMS Bhopal is a prestigious medical institution set up under the Pradhan Mantri Swasthya Suraksha Yojana (PMSSY). Carrying forward the AIIMS legacy, AIIMS Bhopal aims at improving the standards of the medical field in India. Being funded by the central government, it certainly gives an edge to many State Govt Medical Colleges. Here are a few parameters to consider 

• All AIIMS have state-of-the-art infrastructure such as fully air-conditioned LTs and Central Library.
• The batch size of AIIMS is smaller in comparison to State Medical Colleges and thus has a better teacher-to-student ratio.
• AIIMS has a better faculty owing to its unique recruitment style.
• AIIMS Bhopal provides a sufficient number of Cadavers per batch which are crucial for Anatomy. State colleges have fewer cadavers and more students.
• No weekly or monthly exams.
• AIIMS M.B.B.S. Fees are very low fees around INR 5856 for the entire course. 
• AIIMS has excellent hostel facilities that are nowhere like the horrible hostels of many state colleges. 
• AIIMS promotes sports through its excellent indoor and outdoor facilities. Pravah is the Annual Sports Meet of AIIMS Bhopal.
• AIIMS has a more diverse student body than state colleges.
• AIIMS provides you with the much coveted AIIMS tag.

Getting a seat in AIIMS is a miracle. MGM is also a good medical college. It is one of the oldest medical schools in Asia and was converted into the present medical college in 1948. 

When considering MBA colleges in India, Sydenham (SIMSREE) should definitely be on your list. It is one of the most underrated colleges and has several advantages over more popular colleges like NMIMS.

First, let's look at the ROI. Sydenham has a median CTC above 10 LPA and the total course fee is only 1.4 lakhs. This makes it a great investment, especially since it's the only government institute in Maharashtra that offers an MBA. And for category students, there is almost no course fee!

Next, the faculty at Sydenham is amazing. You will be taught by some of the best in the industry, including one of the Directors of RBI, the President of Finance, GM Strategy, and GM Retail of many MNCs. These are the core faculty at Sydenham.

The illustrious alumni of Sydenham are another advantage. Founders of BookmyShow, CEOs of Raymond, Citi Malaysia, Chief South Business, Disney, Head Operations Lamborghini India, and many more have done an MBA from Sydenham.

One thing that sets Sydenham apart is its student-driven culture. The college is of the students, by the students, and for the students. Students are involved in the administration of the college and events, which gives you hands-on experience in managing an institute before actually starting a corporate job.

Finally, the location of Sydenham is excellent. It is located at Churchgate, in the heart of the financial capital Mumbai. This gives you immense exposure to guest lectures, which is very critical. Also, for non-Mumbai students, you can be at Marine Drive whenever you want by paying negligible fees at the Government College's Hostel.

In conclusion, if you're looking for an MBA college in India, you should definitely consider Sydenham. It has great ROI, amazing faculty, illustrious alumni, a student-driven culture, and an excellent location.

I won’t recommend you choose a dual program from BITS. For CSE, I would highly recommend IIIT Delhi. It has great research opportunities. It does not have the same branch value as NSUT Delhi/ DTU, but its growth rate is high. It will soon become a brand like IIIT Hyderabad. Compared to the new IITs, IIITD has a locational advantage because it is situated in the national capital. 

BITS dual is a decent choice, but only if you get a CS. It depends on your performance in the first year. The odds of getting a CS are less than 20% which is pretty low, and the cutoffs keep getting higher each year. As far as the ‘BITS’ tag is concerned, it's really not that important in reality.

For the new IITs, go only if you are getting a CS over there. Do not rely on branch change. Also, avoid going to those located in small/ secluded towns because then you won’t get a lot of exposure. Also, do consider the faculty and infrastructure if you plan to go to a new IIT. My order of preference for CSE is IIITD > NSUT Delhi/DTU > BITS Goa/Hyderabad > IIT.

Thus, for a CSE, I would suggest you to choose either IIITD or NSUT Delhi/DTU.

Yes, the academic rigour of IIM Calcutta is more than IIM Bangalore. But to a very little extent. Overall the impact is very little.

The academic rigour at any institute is affected by:

• Batch-size

• Curriculum structure 

• Grading 

IIM Calcutta has the largest batch size. So the academic rigor is higher than other IIMs. Also, it has the fastest academic year. There are no breaks between terms, and midterms are wrapped, in most years, within 3 days with 2–3 exams per day. IIM Calcutta has a Grading scale upto 9 with grades very spaced out within the batch, and competition for superior grades often heats up towards the end of Term 3, with average performance spiking up as everyone wants to score high.

The rest is for you to judge. But keep in mind that the competition vigor at every IIM is the same.

The choice between IISc Bangalore CSA and MTech TA or a job at Amazon depends on your preferences and future prospects. If you have a passion for software/application development, then the SDET role at Amazon will give you an edge overcome who chooses to do MTech first. If you are worried about acquiring CS knowledge, trust me MTech is not the only way. 

Nowadays big companies offer amazing courses that keep you at par with industry trends. Moreover, as an Amazon SDET, you will get the opportunity to work with some of the most talented engineers from top universities around the world which will be an enriching experience.

However, if your interest lies in core computer science, then an M.Tech at IISc Bangalore will give you a better understanding of core CS subjects.  An MTech will help you to secure jobs at FAANG, such as Amazon AWS or Google’s Core Search team. An MTech will also be beneficial if you are looking for specialized jobs like CPU Performance Architect at AMD or AI Compiler Engineer at Facebook. The major criterion for such kind of job is to have a research experience in relevant fields. An M.Tech from IISc will also open your doors to other opportunities like Applied Scientist/Machine Learning roles at FAANG. You can also get pursue Ph.D. from a top foreign university. after completing your MTech. Both options are very good and have their own sets of pros and cons.

There are several factors on which you can compare CET(OUTR) and VSSUT. Some of these are-

• Infrastructure- CET has a better infrastructure.

• Placements- VSSUT has an upper hand in terms of placements.
