The branch of NIT Agartala like any other engineering college is the most coveted branch with maximum placements. Last year's trends show a constant improvement in the statistics. However, you must know that placements depend on your individual skills and profile.
Here are some tips to follow if you want to bag the best packages in your branch
The above-listed points will help you stand apart from the crowd and make you more employable. So unless you are getting CSE at top IITs, you can always choose NIT Agartala.
Top engineering colleges like IIT Delhi, NSIT, School of Planning and Architecture, Delhi, College of Art, Delhi, and even the famous Faculty of Management Studies have branched out from DCE. Major differences between these Engineering institutes include
Ultimately students prefer IITs over other engineering colleges mainly because they are government bodies and have earned global recognition.
Anyone getting admission to any IIT should not consider NITs then. It’s true that the old IITs have better infrastructure and brand value than tier-2 IITs but these new IITs are still in their development stage and haven’t reached their conclusion. Considering their huge growth over the past decade, they will reach new heights in the future
The new IITs provide better opportunities and freedom to students as the foundation of the college isn’t very strong so they build it alongside. The students grow and develop their personalities along with the growing institute. There is no compromise in the quality of education as the faculty is recruited after tremendous filtering.
The branch is more important than the college so don’t choose a less preferred branch in an old IIT just for the brand value rather go for the branch of your choice in a new IIT.
As for Physics, it requires genuine commitment and interest. Go for it only if you are certain of a career in it as the options in this branch are limited in contrast to Electrical Engineering. That being said, IIT Ropar is one of the best second-generation IITs, and its curriculum is very flexible and the location is also great. So my final recommendation would be to go for IIT Ropar Electrical.
No, you can’t choose Computer Science as a major at IISER Pune or any other IISER. But you can definitely learn basic Computer Programming and techniques. You will have the opportunity to learn various languages and there are also different labs where you can do theoretical and computational work. Course work of many departments depends heavily on computational work at IISERs. But there is no option to take Computer Science as a subject.
It’s illogical to compare two programs as the choice of branches depends on individual preferences. I will share the limited knowledge I possess for IIT Hyderabad CSE.
Since I have no information on IIT Guwahati, I recommend you contact a senior and discuss basic details.
To make the best choice, I have entailed the pros and cons of both the institutes
IIT Guwahati Pros
IIT Guwahati Cons
IIT Hyderabad Pros
IIT Hyderabad Cons:
IIT Guwahati should never be your first choice and IIT Hyderabad is a much better option.
My brother was in a similar dilemma last year when he had to choose between MnC IIT Guwahati and CSE IIT Indore. Eventually, he went for IIT Indore CSE. The main reason he decided against going for the MnC program was his lack of interest in Math. And when we talk about Math at IIT, trust me when I say it’s at another level. It’s purely proof-based and high-level Math that can be handled only by true Math lovers. The academic workload is also high with 60% Math and 40% CS courses.
Now, here are a few points that might convince you to join IIT Indore instead
Overall, IIT Indore CSE is a much better choice than MnC IIT Guwahati considering the work of and job opportunities.
One of my friends was doubtful whether the hindi-speaking culture of MNNIT will have any impact on her English communication skills. If you are doubtful regarding the same, I would say you need not worry uselessly.
Students from MNNIT clear CAT with good scores. This wouldn’t have been possible without clearing the CAT verbal paper. Students converse in Hindi on campus simply because most of them belong to North India. This won’t have any negative effect on your English proficiency. Also, the professors deliver lectures in English. Other than that, to keep enhancing your English skills, you can join the English Literature group of MNNIT.
As far as your options are concerned, MNNIT is known for its top notch education in CSE. It is one of the best colleges in India for a CSE program. Also, the placements offered at MNNIT are quite impressive, especially for its CSE branch.
According to me, you should choose CSE at MNNIT over IT at NIT Surathkal.
Let me share with you some important details about these courses/institutes-
That being said, I feel you are at a very early stage of narrowing down your goals and aspirations to this extent. Enter your UG with an open mind, and an aim for self-discovery. Right now, you have a picture in mind of doing an MBA. But I don’t think you have a proper idea of the different specializations in this degree.
You should have made a clear decision by the end of your 3rd year. Before that, pursue internships and discover your field of interest. Right now, look for the institute that will offer you the best technical education and the best future prospects.
Honestly, there isn't any major difference between CSE and IT branches as both are related to computers. The job opportunities are almost similar. So, you should prioritize college over branch in your case. NIT Surathkal is much better than MNNIT Allahabad and this can be further understood through the points below
Location: NIT Surathkal has an advantage over NIT Allahabad due to its location near Bangalore, the IT hub of India. Most Bangalore-based companies firstly visit NITK Surathkal. Last year major companies like Microsoft, DE Shaw, Uber, Amazon, Oracle and visited the campus last year.
