Which is better for CS/ECE NIT Hamirpur, NIT Jalandhar, IIIT Kancheepuram, IIIT Jabalpur ?

TA

First, I would like you to address your branch preference. Choosing a branch should be the top most priority. CSE and ECE are quite different from one another. Although IITs/IIITs/NITs do offer a branch change option, it is quite difficult to get it. So I would suggest you make up your mind on which branch truly interests you.

Now coming to the colleges. Choose IIIT Jabalpur for a CSE branch. This is because IIITs offer good placements, curriculum and culture in this branch. Even IIIT Kancheepuram is a good option for CSE. But the distance from home and food form an integral part of this decision-making. Assuming you aren’t from South India, the lifestyle and eating habits might be difficult to adapt to. As far as NIT Hamirpur and NIT Jalandhar are concerned, choose them if you are planning for an ECE degree. They are good colleges as well. 

First prioritize your branch and then choose your college among these four. I won’t suggest you go by college rankings. Basically, choose your branch first and then decide the best college for yourself.

Which is the best for CSE/IT - IIITDM Jabalpur, IIITM Gwalior, or DAIICT?

SB
Subhas Banerjee Posted On : March 22nd, 2021
Studied at Indian Institute of Information Technology and Management, Gwalior

My brother was in the same fix a few years back. After considering various factors he chose IIITM. Here are some of the reasons why he opted for IIITM.

  • DAIICT offers ICT and ICT with minors in Computational Science. Almost 40% of the syllabus is basically Communication. The syllabus will be a combination of ECE and IT. If you are sure about Communication then don’t choose DAIICT. 
  • While choosing try to factor in the location too. DAIICT is situated in Gandhinagar, which is far away from our city. So, it was a point of consideration for my brother.
  • DAIICT is private and changes more fees. 

Here’s what you should know about the placements and fee structure of the three institutes. 

College name

Placement (Average Salary)

Fees (first-year fees)

DA IICT

INR 9.5 to 10 LPA for ICT graduates

INR 1.97 lakhs

IITDM

INR 9.9 LPA

INR 1.38 lakhs

IIITM Gwalior

INR 24.33 LPA

INR 1.49 lakhs

Last but not the least, do not keep faculty as one of your deciding factors. This can be hugely misleading. Visit the official websites of the institutes, weigh in the factors important for you, and choose accordingly. Both these institutes have their advantages.

What should be the preference order of IIIT Lucknow, IIIT Jabalpur and IIIT Gwalior for CS?

GK
Gagan Kapoor Posted On : March 12th, 2021
B.Tech ECE, Indian Institute of Information Technology, Jabalpur

Among the above three institutes, IIIT Gwalior is the best choice, considering the fact that it is the oldest IIIT and offers excellent placement and academic facilities. The preference order of choice among the institutes is given below.

IIIT Gwalior > IIIT Jabalpur > IIIT Lucknow

The table below gives a brief level of comparison among the three institutes.

Particulars

IIIT Gwalior

IIIT Jabalpur

IIIT Lucknow

Total Fees (B.Tech)

Rs. 5.4 Lakhs

Rs. 5.29 Lakhs

Rs. 9.81 Lakhs

Highest Package offered

Rs. 42 LPA

Rs. 23 LPA

Rs. 43 LPA

JEE Main cut-off

8781

15395

14268

Key Highlights:

  • The cut-off for admission to IIIT Gwalior is a validation of the fact that it is the best choice. It has its infrastructure spread across a 100-acre campus, being the oldest IIIT and maintaining its standard of placement and academics.
  • Jabalpur has a 260-acre campus. In terms of placement and infrastructure, it comes just after IIIT Gwalior. But in terms of research, IIIT Jabalpur is ahead of the other two.
  • IIIT Lucknow has a 50-acre campus and is mostly under construction, and is just 2 batches old. It is growing with time and needs to gain fame eventually. IIIT Lucknow has good placement, even in the first pass-out batch. It would be an excellent choice in the future if the records in placement are retained.

Therefore, the above order is the choice of preference a candidate will find relevant. No candidate should be misguided just by recent placement records and statistics.

What should I prefer: IT at NIT Raipur or a CS at IIIT Jabalpur?

AR
Aditi Roy Posted On : September 12th, 2023
lives in Gwalior, Madhya Pradesh, India

Nowadays, engineering aspirants give more importance to the brand and tag of the college rather than the academic ambiance they offer. Like sheep in a herd, they flock to colleagues that have higher rankings and give them a tag to boast about in the process, They forget that for education, the tag does not matter. 

IIITs are the most neglected institutes in this process. IIITs like Jabalpur, Allahabad, Kancheepuram, and Gwalior have been set up by MHRD that focus primarily on studies in the IT sector, unlike NITs that cater to various branches of engineering. IIITs thus have a CS-oriented culture, curriculum, and opportunities. This may not be the case for NITs that have many branches. 

Although NIT Raipur is older than IIIT Jabalpur, it's not at par with IIIT Jabalpur at least in terms of its Computer Science education. IIIT Jabalpur has much better placements for the CSE department than the IT branch of NIT Raipur. Moreover, IIIT Jabalpur has collaboration with Universities in Japan, unlike NIT Raipur. 

Here is a brief comparative analysis of both institutes

Particulars

NIT Raipur

HBTU

Fees

INR 1.41 Lakhs (BTech 1st Year Fees)

INR 1.59 Lakhs (BTech 1st Year Fees)

Highest CTC

-

INR 82 LPA

Average CTC

INR 10.1 LPA

INR 21.63 LPA

Top Recruiters

Wipro, Capgemini, Infosys, Adobe, Aditya Birla Group etc.

EXL, Flipkart, Jio, JSW, Samsung, TCS, Cred, Cummins, etc. 

 So, IIIT Jabalpur would be a better option.

Since you did not mention your branch, I will draw a general comparison between IIIT Jabalpur and NIT Silchar that will help you choose one

  • IIIT Jabalpur offers UG courses under three branches only namely CSE, ECE, and Mechanical while NIT Silchar offers a number of courses in a variety of branches both at UG and PG level.
  • NIT Silchar is an old institute while IIIT Jabalpur is relatively new.
  • IIIT Jabalpur focuses solely on IT courses while NIT Silchar has many diverse courses. 
  • NIT Silchar has no international collaborations while IIIT Jabalpur has collaborations with Universities of Japan that offer immense exposure and opportunities.
  • The placement scenario however is the same and in fact last year the highest package at both institutes hovered around INR 44 LPA.
  • Location-wise, Jabalpur gives an edge to NIT Silchar as it has better connectivity and places to explore.

Overall, choosing IIIT Jabalpur with its modern curriculum and infrastructure is more beneficial than going for NIT Silchar.

Both NIT Silchar as well as IIIT Jabalpur are backed by the Government of India and have similar facilities. The campus, faculty, and alumni network are great in both cases. However, there are some additional parameters in which IIIT Jabalpur fares better making it a more preferable choice. Some of them have been mentioned below

How is IIITDM Jabalpur for CSE?

RS
Rohan Singh Posted On : March 24th, 2023
Indian Institute of Information Technology, Design and Manufacturing, Jabalpur

If you are considering pursuing CSE at IIITDM Jabalpur, there are a few things you should know. Here are some important points to keep in mind:

  • Success in CSE requires your own motivation and hard work. While you will have some support from faculty and seniors, ultimately it will be up to you to put in the effort required to excel in this field.
  • In order to succeed in CSE, you will need some support from people who know more than you. This could include faculty members, seniors, or other professionals in the field.
  • During the first three semesters of your CSE program, you will have common courses with your whole batch. This means that you will be taught physics, manufacturing, aesthetics, and some CSE-related freshman courses.
  • Don't rely solely on your faculty to teach you everything you need to know. While some of them may be great teachers, others may not be as helpful. However, you can always go to their offices and ask them for help with any doubts or questions you may have. Most of them will be happy to help you out.
  • Don't let anyone discourage you from asking for help from a particular teacher. If someone tells you not to approach a certain teacher, ignore them. You are here to learn, and it's important to interact with your teachers and ask them questions.
  • Seniors can be a great source of support and information. They have been through the same program as you and can offer advice and guidance based on their own experiences. Don't hesitate to ask for their help if you need it.
  • You will benefit greatly from learning more about CSE on your own and applying your ideas practically. While you will have some guidance from faculty and seniors, a lot of your learning will happen on your own with your laptop, your friends, and your own curiosity and drive.

Overall, CSE is a great field to pursue, but don't take our word for it. Do your own research about the institute you are considering and make an informed decision about whether it is the right choice for you.

Which will be better, IIIT Guwahati, IIITDM Jabalpur or IIIT Kancheepuram?

SR
Shubham Rathee Posted On : April 29th, 2021
B.Tech Computer Science, Indian Institute of Information Technology, Design and Manufacturing, Jabalpur (2021)

My brother has just completed his B.tech from IIITDM Jabalpur and some of my friends also studied at the other two institutes. According to their experience and the NAAC Ranking, IIITDM tops among the three of them. The rating considers everything including infrastructure and facilities.

Following are the key points that give IIITDM an edge over the two.

  • Alumni network: IIITDM is the oldest institute having a much larger history and alumni base as compared to IIIT Guwahati, and IIIT Kancheepuram. Whereas the other two institutes might have just 2-3 batches completed.
  • Campus: Knowledge is easily accessible to everyone even you can watch Stanford Lectures from Home. Here also, IIITDM Jabalpur is at advantage. The seniors are very helpful and won’t hesitate to give you a hand.
  • Placements: IIITDM being located in the central part of India, has the advantage of better placements. Even core companies like ISRO and DRDO visit the campus for recruitment.

  • Global tie-ups: IIITDM Jabalpur has tie-ups with countries like Japan, China, and Korea which creates opportunities for higher education if you are interested.
  • Infrastructure: It is clearly better than IIIT Guwahati, and IIIT Kancheepuram as the latter two are newly established hence lacking some basic facilities for now.

All in all, it is not advisable to rely on the college just for jobs and placements. It is crucial to focus on learning and develop new skills which may come in handy in the future.

Which will be better, a 4-year CS course (starting this year) at IIITM Gwalior, CS at IIITDM Jabalpur, or Electrical at MANIT Bhopal?

RS
Rishav Sharma Posted On : March 22nd, 2021
Master of Technology Computer Science, Indian Institute of Information Technology and Management, Gwalior (2019)

A 4-year CSE from IIITDM Jabalpur will be better than that of IIIT Gwalior. It is a fairly new branch at the institute and students of this branch compete with 5-year IPG steam students which are the main ruler of the institute. 

A brief comparison of the courses mentioned in the question is given below. 

Particulars 

IIITDM Jabalpur

IIITM Gwalior 

MANIT Bhopal

Average CTC

9.9 LPA

14 LPA

6.23 LPA

Highest CTC

Top Recruiters 

Amazon, Microsoft, L&T, American Express, etc. 

Paytm, Myntra, Amazon, Adobe, etc. 

Bajaj, L&T, Volvo, etc. 

If you only consider placement, Electrical at MANIT Bhopal is not comparable to CSE at IIITs. So, it will be better if you choose a 4-year CSE of IIITDM or a 5-year IPG at IIIT Gwalior.
