Direct communication cannot be compared but one of my friends suggested that IIIT Vadodara is an older institute in comparison to the others. The placement officer of IIIT V is good and will be helping in getting good placements by calling good companies to the campus. The college also sends for internships in companies like Amazon. Some of the students also got selected in Google Summer of code.

The comparison table of IIIT Sonepat, IIIT Una, or IIIT Vadodara is as follows:

Since IIIT Una has recently opened, it is not working independently. This college has no relation with NIT Hamirpur which makes it a bit risky. 

IIIT Sonepat is much better in terms of placement. The reason is that the companies find it much closer in distance as compared to other institutions. It can be suggested that you first check admission at IIIT Sonepat then at IIIT Vadodara and then go for IIIT Una. 

It is always suggested to look for more information from the old alumni IIIT V as they will better tell you about the past placements.

Institute of Management Studies BHU (IMS BHU) is a good option for an MBA. It has a brilliant faculty base. Most of the faculty members have good industry experience. Classes are interactive and you will learn through case studies on real-world business problems and solutions. BHU MBA fees are only INR 1 Lakh. So, the ROI is pretty good. According to the recent placement highlights, students received an average CTC of INR 7.4 LPA. Many reputed companies like Infosys, Wipro, IBM, SBI Life, etc. visit the campus placement. 

BHU has a huge campus. You will get to meet people from diverse backgrounds during the time you spent on campus. BHU offers an enviable campus experience. 

One of my friends is from CUSAT SOE. I can provide his experience during his first year at the CUSAT hostel.

• For getting a hostel at CUSAT, you will need to fill an application form available on the website and submit it in the office.
• Earlier the hostels were allocated on the basis of seniority and your distance from the home. But now, you will be given a hostel on the basis of your CAT score and usually, first-year students are allocated first.
• You should make sure that you have submitted your application form before the start of your semesters.
• Although the CAT score is given the first preference, there are other factors like distance from your home state and your performance in academics.

In case you do not get a hostel then you can try outside hostels which are located nearby to the college.

Thapar University is a good institution. I would like to talk about the three parameters on which one would assess a university and tell you how Thapar is performing in each-

1. Placements- Placements are pretty good at Thapar University. If you are among the top performers, you will find yourself placed in a big company. Some of the big companies that visit the campus for placements are- Texas Instruments, Sandisk, Maruti Suzuki, Honda, etc. 
2. Academics- Thapar is pretty decent academically. Since 2015 it has changed its curriculum. The new curriculum is project-based. In the first year, you will get to learn about Catapult Design and in the second year, you will get to do a Buggy project. This institution offers some unique projects to its students and if you are hungry for knowledge, Thapar University is the right institution. 
3. Infrastructure- The infrastructure is good and the sports facilities are ample. There are four tennis courts, one football cum race track, one cricket ground, two basketball courts, one volleyball ground and one extra ground to play the sports of your choice. There are 6 boys hostels and 4 girls hostels. The classrooms are good. 

Overall, Thapar University is a good institution and it has all the facilities in terms of academics and infrastructure.
