While the majority of medical aspirants would prefer AIIMS over AFMC, my sister was a different breed and was adamant about AFMC. Here are a few pros she shared of AFMC that made her choose it over AIIMS.

• The doctors here are relatively healthy and fit unlike AIIMS doctors that are always sleep-deprived 
• Because of less competition, you are assured of a PG seat.
• The small batch results in a close-knitted family and you always have downtime to help you in your time of need. 
• The mess etiquettes here are very unique and you will end up loving the food here.
• Every sport and hobby is promoted here through a number of clubs Name any sport or hobby. 
• Pune has been declared as the happiest city in Maharashtra in India. You get to experience the beautiful city life and Mumbai is not far away.
• The classroom lectures are well delivered by ever-present professors.

These are some points that make AFMC unique in contrast to AIIMS.

Among these, IIIT Delhi is the better choice for a Computer Science degree. It is a research institute, so you will get to learn through hands-on experience, and projects, rather than just theory. IIIT Delhi CSE syllabus puts more emphasis on core subjects. You will study subjects like Intro to Programming, and Systems Management, from the first year itself. 

The programming community at IIIT Delhi is amazing. They have clubs like Byld and Foobar. IIIT Delhi will offer you endless opportunities to upskill yourself. 

In terms of placements, IIIT Delhi and BITS Mesra are almost on the same level. As per the 2021 placement highlights, the average CTC for IIIT Delhi was INR 14 LPA. 

For a better understanding, I will compare both IIIT Delhi and NSIT Delhi based on some common aspects

• Placement : The placement scenario of both the institutes is similar with IIIT Delhi having a slight advantage. NIST's median package stood at INR 16 LPA while IIIT Delhi's average package stood at INR 23.72 LPA
• Campus : NSIT has a higher campus than IIIT Delhi but is old. IIIT Delhi is a relatively new institute so its infrastructure and campus facilities are modern.
• Hostels : NSIT has bigger rooms than IIIT Delhi but IIIT DELHI has rooms with better facilities. There is the provision of AC at night in summer and a heater at night in winter.
• Faculty : IIIT DELHI is the clear winner as its faculty pool is even better than some IITs.
• Reputation : Being older NSIT enjoys a better brand value and recognition both in and outside India. 
• Coding Culture : IIIT DELHI has a much better coding culture than NSUT because the institute is CS centered.
• Fees : IIIT Delhi charges higher fees around ?4.62 Lakhs (1st Year Fees) while NSIT fees are around ?2.29 Lakhs (1st Year Fees)
• Clubs : NSUT has a better campus life and extracurricular culture because of the various clubs so it has an edge in this aspect. 
• Campus Life: IIIT Delhi has a very rigorous and tiresome campus life while NSIT has a more laid-back campus life. 
• Curriculum : IIIT DELHI has a more updated and modern curriculum in comparison to NSITs outdated curriculum irreverent to the industrial trends.

Overall, if you want a rigorous campus life more focused on academics choose IIIT Delhi but if you are looking for a relaxed experience NSIT is the one for you.

The answer varies with the branch you are offered at both these institutions. I will give you an idea for some common branches to make the decision easier for you-

1. The Civil branch of NIT Warangal is slightly better than BITS Pilani. However, there is not much difference and you can go to either for your Civil.
2. The Mechanical of BITS Pilani is better. However, for a future in research or entrepreneurship, choose Mechanical at NITW.
3. For ECE, BITS Pilani is better than NITW. The faculty for ECE at NITW is extremely strict and the curriculum is much tougher than required at the UG level.
4. For CS, if you are really passionate about this field, join IIIT Hyderabad. The CS faculty at NITW is as good as IIIT Hyderabad, but the peer group at NITW won’t be as passionate and dedicated. But among the options stated by you, NITW and BITS Pilani are equally good.
5. Biotechnology- If you are interested in research and higher studies in this field, NIT Warangal is a good option. NITW will offer you study abroad programs and funded research if you show interest and dedication towards this field. The peer group, however, won’t be too good. The faculty for Biotech at NIT Warangal is great.

These are some of the common branches that you can choose at either of the institutions. Both NIT Warangal and BITS Pilani are great institutions and at the end, your hardwork and dedication will decide your future.

IMI Delhi is ranked higher than TAPMI in most of the rankings one will come across. However, the scenario may differ based on work experience, expectations from an MBA, and the major one is looking for.

IMI Delhi has a better record of companies coming for placements than TAPMI. But, TAPMI has a different approach to placement reports. The figures are CRISIL certified, and the aim is to provide world-class education with a rigorous curriculum unmatched in the industry. The education and rigor received at TAPMI will make the investment worth it.

Life at TAPMI is tough, and it is not the typical B-School one would wish for. The institution is strict about every detailed aspect, and there won’t be opportunities to go home every fortnight or bunk class. However, a wonderful campus with best-in-class facilities will be provided, and personal expenses won’t skyrocket.

Placements will not be an issue once the necessary skills are acquired. Opportunities in every field of every kind will be provided, and the faculties are top-notch with high industry experience.

In the end, the decision is up to the individual.

No, NIT Trichy ranks lower than IIIT Delhi, in terms of placements, academics, exposure, coding culture, environment, etc. Being located in Delhi, it has a huge locational advantage. It’s easier to get internships and projects in the various industrial sectors around Delhi NCR. 

IIIT Delhi has an amazing coding culture. You will get to learn a lot about programming from your seniors and peers. 

IIIT Delhi placement record for 2021 shows an average CTC of INR 14 LPA. The placement average is around 94.06%.
