When it comes down to making a choice between institutes it is better to think point-wise before coming to a decision. Everyone wants a good institute to study in which has great academics and also has great placements along with extracurricular activities.

BITS Goa would be the better option here only if there’s no financial problem. NIT Rourkela is also one of the best NITs, but when it comes to CSE department BITS will take the lead here. BITS Pilani or the Goa campus would be more preferable over NIT Rourkela.

As of the current situation BITS, institutes have a high ranking place in our society with excellent academic records as well as placement stats. BITS Pilani is considered as an epitome of CSE engineering by most of the aspirants these days. Only the top 3 leading IIT’s are in comparison with BITS Pilani.

The amount keeps changing every year. There is no fixed amount.

Nowadays, the college follows a system of seat-booking whereby you can book a seat if you are not quite sure about your admission to any college. You will have to pay a certain amount specified by the college and your seat will be booked in the stream that you want to opt for if you join the college.

The system is a little different and it is not exactly like the management quota in other colleges. The amount that you have to pay depends on which branch you want to opt for. The more demanding the branch, the more the amount of donation. For example, branches like Computer Science or Electronics are charged more than branches like Applied Instrumentation or Biotechnology.

I would recommend you book a seat and later decide whether you want to join or not. This will cost you less. But, you will have to decide within a short span of time otherwise the authority will move the list and give admission to a lower-ranked individual.

NITIE is nowhere compared to the new IIMs. NITIE and the new IIMs are entirely in a different league. It is reputed for its unique niche, i.e. Operations and Supply Chain Management. Most big FMCG companies prefer to recruit from NITIE. Here are some of the factors that make NITIE better than the new IIMs. 

1. Alumni Base: NITIE has a legacy of over 65 years. So, the alumni base of the institute is huge. Whereas, the new IIMs were established quite recently. 
2. Courses Offered: IIM offers general management courses, whereas NITIE is more known for its specialization in Industrial Management.There are other specializations at NITIE but the PGDIM course is its niche. 
3. Placements: NITIE offers one of the best ROIs in the country. Their average CTC is around 20 LPA, and the course fee is around 8 LPA. On the other hand, new IIM charges around 10 LPA, and their placements are nowhere near NITIE.
4. Brand Name: The new IIMs don’t have the same reputation as the old IIMs. But NITIE has an unparalleled recognition in the field of Supply Chain and Operations.
5. Case Studies: All major case studies of top B-Schools are opened in NITIE. The new IIMs are still trying to convince companies to open case studies. 
6. Location: Mumbai is home to most of the big corporate houses. Since NITIE is located in Mumbai, you will have plenty of placement opportunities. Most of the new IIMs are located in remote locations. 

So, for job profiles in Finance or Marketing, the new IIMs may be better. However, for Operations and SCM, NITIE is definitely better.
