Which is better for CS, NIT (Warangal, Trichy) or BITS Pilani?
NIT Trichy, NIT Warangal, and BITS Pilani are all good colleges for CSE. Here is a comparison among them based on various parameters-
- Brand Value - RECs were rechristened as NITs and taken under the Centre’s control in 2003. On the other hand, BITS Pilani is a much older brand. However, the top NITs are as much favored by recruiters as BITS Pilani. One can say that in terms of brand value, the top 3-4 NITs are almost at par with BITS Pilani.
- Placements - During 2023, The CSE branch at NIT Warangal saw the highest package of INR 88 LPA and the average package of INR 30.8 LPA.
At BITS Pilani, Tech students were offered a package between INR 11 - 38 LPA. At NIT Trichy, the highest package overall stood at INR 40 LPA for the year 2022. From these figures, one can declare that at present NIT Warangal has the best placements for CSE among the three (as per the official figures).
- Fee- At BITS Pilani, you will be spending around three times more than the NITs for the same degree. Thus, with regard to course fees, NITs are much more affordable than BITS Pilani.
- Crowd - To some extent, BITS Pilani is the winner because the admissions at BITS Pilani are purely merit-based. Although, one has to consider that JEE is much more difficult than BITSAT, and in fact, many students at top NITs clear JEE advanced.
Overall, all three colleges are quite good for your CSE. In the end, it is you who has to put in the required effort.
Does Nit Rourkela placement cell allow civil engineering students to sit for computer science engineering placement?
It is not that NIT Rourkela placement cell does not allow Civil Engineering students to sit for CSE placements. The thing is that most software companies that visit the campuses with SDE roles do not allow other branches to sit for their placements. I assume by CSE placements you are referring to IT companies.
Certain top companies like Microsoft, Google, Goldman Sachs and Mathworks allow students from all the branches to sit for their placements. But for most software companies, branch is one of the criteria to filter out those students who can apply. Also, they mostly prefer students from CSE and circuital branches like EI, EC and EE.
The reason being that students from these branches work with codes more often and are well-versed in programming languages. The same is imperative for working in IT companies. However, it is also true that many students in other branches love to code and wish to work in these IT firms.
NIT Rourkela has no control over the criteria set by various IT companies and you will have to check the same before planning to sit for the placement of any IT firm.
Should I take CSE at Thapar University or CSE at IIIT Guwahati?
Well, this all depends upon your choice of preference.
- If you are going after a brand name then you can choose IIIT Guwahati. Also, it is worth joining IIIT’s of all new ones for their coding culture is on a boom.
- If you are planning to prepare for MBA, Civil Services, MS abroad then choosing IIIT G is a better choice.
- If you find the IIIT tag more appealing go for it. Yes, infrastructure wise Thapar University gives a quiet edge to many IIITs and NITs.
- See, you’re comparing different branches, from which I can directly conclude that you’re interested in CSE more. So, keep this factor in mind too while deciding.
- If you are getting IIIT it means you do hold a good rank. That means you are okay with getting into IIITG even with high fees. If you have got a board percentage of 95+ you can get a 100% TF+DF waiver right from 1st semester.
- One of the important factors for choosing an institute is fees, if you are okay with higher course fees, you can definitely opt for Thapar. Infrastructure at Thapar is way better as compared to IIITs and NITs.
This was an overall review on IIITG and Thapar University. Factor all these in and make a wise decision.
Should I choose metallurgy at NIT Warangal or CSE at CBIT?

What is it like to study computer science at IIT Kharagpur?
CSE branch of top IITs is the most coveted branch of engineering aspirants in India. My sister got the splendid opportunity for the same but claimed that in reality the IIT brand name is overhyped and does not deserve so much attention.
IIT Kharagpur indeed had the best professors, lab facilities, high-tech classrooms, and an extensive range of courses, but like every coin has two sides, IIT KGP has its share of disappointments as well. There are some extremely bad professors and classes.
Much is expected from the students claiming them to be a part of the rich IIT family while the administration is somehow below average and the teaching standards are also deteriorating. You surely will get a good experience but don’t over expect it.
What is the placement of NIT Durgapur's Computer Science Department?
NIT Durgapur recorded impressive placements for 2023. Overall, 187 companies visited the campus for placements. As is a usual trend, B.Tech CSE students recorded the highest average package among all the branches. A good number of CSE students were placed from NIT Dgp campus.
During 2023 placement season, 85.71% students from B.Tech CSE were successfully placed. These students recorded an impressive average package of INR 21.45 LPA. TCS Ninja, TCS Digital, Microsoft, J.P. Morgan, Mathworks and Qualcomm are some of the brands that selected B.Tech CSE students.
It is safe to conclude that the Computer Science Department was offered good placements.
Which is better - NIT Durgapur Metallurgy or VIT Vellore CSE?
As a CSE student at VIT Vellore, I was also faced with the same dilemma.
First of all, there is a ragging culture at NIT Durgapur. It does carry the NIT, but it lags behind the top NITs. Apart from that, Metallurgy does not offer much scope in India.
The placement figures mentioned on their website, however, are quite promising.
During the 2023 placement season, MME recorded 90.32% placements with an average package of 8.79 LPA.
Now coming to VIT Vellore, there is no ragging on campus. It offers all the top-class facilities, great environment and friendly crowd. CSE is the best branch of VIT Vellore. The college offers good placements and infrastructure.
According to me, choosing CSE at VIT Vellore is a better option.
Which is a better option IT at IIEST Shibpur or CSE at IEM?
Being a central university and highly popular national university of importance, IIEST Shibpur not only attracts the best faculty from across the country but also receives funding from the central government on a yearly basis which helps the university maintain its infrastructure, upgrade to the latest trends in the world and better their services. IEM is a private university with a NIRF ranking of 191 in 2020.
- Placement Services: Considering placements are the most important deciding factor to understand the scope of an institution, let us have a look at the placement facilities across the two academic universities:

- Crowd: IIEST attracts students from all across the country due to its national importance and is the second oldest engineering college in India. IEM on the other hand being a private university does not see diversity among students and is not very popular as compared to IIEST.
- Campus: The infrastructure of both colleges are very different from each other. IIEST is known for its beautiful huge academic buildings, library, sports complex, and research labs. IEM, on the other hand, has a relatively small campus that offers hostel facilities, a cafeteria, a library, and an auditorium.
- Alumni: The alumni network at IIEST is unbeatable with world leaders like Dr. Bimal Bose, Leader in Power Electronics, and Dr. Kajal Gupta, Chief Technologist at NASA. IEM does not have a notable list of alumni considering it is not very popular amongst the masses.
Hence, if students have a good JEE score and are eligible to get into IIEST, it would be advisable to do so instead of choosing a private institution such as IEM- based on the factors mentioned above.
How is the placement of CS in PDPU? Is the money worth it?
The fees that PDPU charges are not only for the education but the overall development of an individual. The campus, classrooms, ambience and its rich and vivid culture will definitely have a huge impact on the students. You will not get such all-round development in sports and other extra curriculars in any other college in Gujarat.
When placements are considered it always stood out among others. The ICT and CS at PDPU was started keeping in mind the need of engineers that will rise for The Jio project of Mr. Mukesh Ambani who is the president of PDPU. So Jio will be hiring many students.
Which choice is better: Jadavpur University CSE or IIT Bhubaneswar ECE?
If you plan to change to CS, it is quite difficult to shift from EE to CS at IIT Hyderabad. It is easier for other branches to change to CS.
Mechanical and Chemical students get CS during branch change, but the chances are less for Electrical students. This is the experience of one of my friends at IIT Hyderabad.
CS at IIT Hyderabad is better than CS at other new IITs. IIT Hyderabad is one of the best among the new IITs. IIT Hyderabad is showing tremendous growth.
