Which is the best for CSE/IT - IIITDM Jabalpur, IIITM Gwalior, or DAIICT?
My brother was in the same fix a few years back. After considering various factors he chose IIITM. Here are some of the reasons why he opted for IIITM.
- DAIICT offers ICT and ICT with minors in Computational Science. Almost 40% of the syllabus is basically Communication. The syllabus will be a combination of ECE and IT. If you are sure about Communication then don’t choose DAIICT.
- While choosing try to factor in the location too. DAIICT is situated in Gandhinagar, which is far away from our city. So, it was a point of consideration for my brother.
- DAIICT is private and changes more fees.
Here’s what you should know about the placements and fee structure of the three institutes.

Should I choose NIT Jamshedpur for a CS/ECE or NIT Allahabad in chemical? Can I go for a branch change next year?
NIT Allahabad is a better choice than NIT Jamshedpur, especially for CSE. If you are not getting CSE, try going for IT because the branches are somewhat similar. Moreover, NIT Allahabad has options for internal sliding too so you can try your luck there. Chances of sliding to CSE are rare so you can try going for IT instead.
Also, If you are considering joining a core branch, except CSE, IT, and ECE, remember that you will have to appear for GATE in the last year to get a job in PSUs.

Basically, you'll be taught C++ and maybe one functional programming language. Most of the courses are not exactly about programming but do have some programming assignments that will also be in C++.
Which is better, a CSE at IIIT Delhi or an MCE at DTU?
As a third year student of MCE at DTU, I can only tell you about my college and branch-
- The curriculum of MCE is a mixture of Mathematics, Computer Science and Finance.
- This branch will equip you for a career in three fields.
- The focus is more on Mathematics, but CS is an important part.
- MCE offers good placements. Graduates get job offers from top brands like Amazon, Flipkart, etc. MCE gives competition to well-established branches like CoE, IT, SE, etc. in this aspect.
- DTU is a well-recognized institution with a strong alumni network. More than 250 companies visit the campus every year during the placement season.
- Mathematics faculty is top-notch, while CS faculty is average.

My son got a 2339 rank in the JEE Advanced and 362 in BITSAT. Which should he choose, IIT Bhubaneswar CSE dual degree or BITS Goa CS?
Among the two options, IIT Bhubaneswar CSE dual degree and BITS Goa CS, the latter seems to be a more promising option. Let me justify my stance in a better way.
The IIT Bhubaneswar dual degree has many flaws like
- You will be wasting one year of your education during which you could have done your Masters from a more recognized institute and in the branch you like.
- Deciding to do MTech in a branch you aren’t sure about is risky and you may end up regretting it later. You might want to do MBA and not MTech after your bachelor's but the dual degree restricts
Financially too IIT Bhubaneswar dual degree is a poor decision. You will waste one year earning nothing and be paying extra fees all the more. BITS Goa CS m is better in almost all aspects like its alumni, start-up culture, placements, and campus facilities. So, I will recommend you choose BITS Goa over IIT Bhubaneswar.
Can a non-CS student in NIT Surathkal sit for CSE placement?
There are no specific placements for CSE as it's just one of the many branches of engineering. Most companies like Oracle and Fidelity allow students of all branches to sit for placements while some big companies like Microsoft only allow B.Tech CSE ECE EEE, and M.Tech CSE students who have qualified for the CGPA cutoff 7. Every company has its own CGPA criteria and to stay on the safe side and be eligible for the maximum companies try to score 7+. So if you fulfill the criteria, you can apply for any company irrespective of the branch you are from. For shortlisting, CS companies conduct online coding tests after which you are selected for the interview. So no matter which branch you belong to, you have to be proficient in coding.
In short, if you want to get selected for CSE placement,
- Maintain a CGPA of more than 8, every semester
- Actively participate in competitive programming right from the first year.
- Learn and practice from sites like Geeksforgeeks, and Techdelight.
- Be proficient in topics like C++, Data structures, and Algorithms to bag offers in big companies.
- Practice from coding Platforms like CodeChef, and Leetcode.
Basically, the more you become proficient in Competitive Programming, the better offers you will get!
