Choose the course that interests you, college is a secondary thing. Here are some of the facts that may help you in choosing the right branch for you.
- If you want to work in PSUs or Govt. sectors, it’s better to not choose Production Engineering as there are fewer recruiters.

Should I take cse at ISM Dhanbad or civil at IIT Hyderabad?
I would never recommend you to go for any core branch at new IITs. With the new IIT tag, ISM Dhanbad is a far better option as it was established in 1926 and enjoys global recognition in contrast to IIT Hyderabad, which is still under development. Both the colleges are poles apart in terms of infrastructure, facilities, etc.

Which is better for computer science - Thapar or NIT Delhi?
I have friends in other Thapar and NIT Delhi so I am the right person to answer your question. Based on their experiences, these are the key points of differences I derived
- NIT Delhi has a better location because it is in Delhi.
- Thapar has a better faculty pool and lab facilities than both NIT Delhi and NSIT.
- Thapar also has an active research culture so if you are a research enthusiast, Thapar is a better option for you.
- In terms of tag and brand name, NIT Delhi has the upper hand. Thapar University also has a good reputation but mainly in North India.
- NIT Delhi charges much less fees than DTU and NSIT so it’s the clear winner in this aspect.
- Infrastructure-wise, Thapar University tends to serve better.
Overall, it's a matter of preferences!
Which should I choose, EEE in NIT Surathkal, ECE in IIIT Bangalore, or CS in RVC?
If you are given these options, your rank in JEE Mains must be near 10k, and that in KCET >= 100. I was faced with similar choices, so I am listing down the pros and cons of each option-
- RVC- If you are a Bangalorean and don’t wish to go to a hostel, RVC is the ideal choice. You’ll be getting CSE, which is great. The faculty at RVC is good. It offers an indoor basketball court. Your peers would’ve aced their KCET. But the minus point is that there is a management quota.
- IIIT Bangalore-T his is a great choice for you even if you are interested in CSE. The curriculum for ECE and CSE is mostly common for the first two years. Both branches study common topics like programming and computer architecture. Even a branch change is possible by getting on the Dean’s Merit List. Branch change is purely merit based.
- NIT Surathkal- EEE from NITK is a great option. However, if you are interested in CS/IT, getting a branch change isn’t easy. Vacancy is low during branch change and its rules are quite rigid-
- The current branch’s strength must not decrease by more than 10%.
- The future branch’s strength must not increase by more than 10%.
- Category-wise allotment of seats is done, similar to JoSAA
If you are planning for an M.Tech in near future, choose IIITB. The iMtech will allow you to complete two degrees in five years, and you won’t be stressed over GATE exams. IIIT Bangalore offers the best placements. This is because Bangalore is the center of major IT and Electronics brands.
I chose iMtech at IIIT Bangalore because of these reasons. You must choose the option that best suits your personal preferences. All the three institutions are well renowned.
Which is the best IIT Tirupati CSE or VIT Vellore CSE?
VIT Vellore CSE will be better than IIT Tirupati CSE. It follows an industry-relevant curriculum which is updated regularly. The specializations offered for CSE are as per the latest industry trends and demand. VIT Vellore placements are excellent for CSE. Each year around 99% of students get placed from the branch. The average CTC for the branch is around INR 6-7 LPA. Reputed companies such as Microsoft, Google, etc. recruit from the institute.
