CUSAT and TKM both take students based on CET. Students always land in confusion between these two. CUSAT also admits students based on the KEAM score. Being a student of CUSAT, I can say it is better than TKM in several ways.
Categories | CUSAT | TKM |
Course Fee | 3.53 lakh | 8410 (1st year) |
Highest CTC | 15 LPA | 12 LPA |
Average CTC | 7 LPA | 3.5-5 LPA |
Recruiting Companies | TCS, Infosys, Wipro, IBM, etc. | Oracle, Wipro, Microsoft, Infosys, etc. |
CUSAT is situated in Kochi which is a beautiful city and also an industrial hub. So students will definitely benefit from the nearby industries. CUSAT is a university established on its own hard work. It has its specially made curriculum and revised topics which proves beneficial to the students
Haldia Institute of Technology will be of no help to you if you dream to be the best at coding and be proud of yourself as a CSE graduate in the future.
Despite all these, the students have made it to fortune 500 companies such as SAP Labs, Broadcom, Intel Security, Manhattan Associates. All the credits go to their hark-work and sheer determination.
College gives you a degree, it is you who with your hard work and determination, will make a great CSE graduate.
The university has not released any branch-wise placement statistics on its official website. However, as per the official UG placement data for the batch of 2023, 83% UG students were successfully placed from the campus. The highest CTC stood at Rs. 55.75 LPA, and the average CTC stood at Rs. 11.90 LPA.
The list of top recruiters for CSE department of Thapar University includes JP Morgan, Amazon, American Express, Apple, Deloitte, DE Shaw and Co, Samsung, and many other such brand names.
It is good overall, but nothing beats the computer science department at any of the old IITs. Still, if you are not getting any of the main branches in IITs, you should go for it.
Alternatively, if you are really passionate about CS and you are not getting it in any IIT (which, I believe, is pretty obvious from your question), you should consider taking an NIT.
Some important information regarding CSE at NIT Calicut are :
Total course fee | 5.42 lakh |
Placement rate | 75% |
Average salary package | 8 lakhs |
Highest salary package | 36 lakhs |
Many of my friends studied at NIT Calicut. According to them it is really good. If you do not get into IITs then NIT Calicut is the best option available for you.
Both IIT Madras Civil and BITS Hyderabad CSE are great subject options to pursue for students.
In the 1st year of college, the syllabus is the same for All the departments and branches.
The first two consecutive semesters cover the same subjects for all the branches that include basic School subjects, basic mechanical, Basic EEE, and C programming as an additional.
There’s not much difference until you reach 3 semesters where you actually start learning your subject.
NIT Calicut stands among the top NITs where you will get a lot of exposure to extracurricular activities. As it’s a government college, the fees will be relatively low as compared to private universities like VIT Vellore.
On the other hand, VIT Vellore isn’t that great institute plus being a private institute the fees is quite high for most middle-class students. If you choose Mechanical here then you can go for two different paths.
Categories | Mechanical at NIT Calicut | CSE at VIT Vellore |
Course Fee | 5.48 lakhs | 7.83 lakhs |
Highest CTC | 20 LPA | 20 LPA |
Average CTC | 9 LPA | 6-8 LPA |
Recruiting Companies | L&T, Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan, Tata Motors, etc. | Flipkart, Oracle, HP, Dell, etc. |
At last, it all depends on your interest and caliber to do well on various career paths. However, if you are inclined towards CSE only then VIT is quite a good option because placements are pretty good there for CSE. Some of the major recruiters include PayPal, Microsoft, Amazon, Morgan Stanley, etc.
I have a friend at NIT Jamshedpur, so I can give you a brief idea about the CSE department.
The placement of the CSE department in NIT Jamshedpur somehow reached some new highs over the last few years. Students from the CSE department have a placement average of around 95%.
Here’s a little highlight of the 2020 placement drive at the institute.

Although if you are aspiring for an MS or MBA, then NIT Jamshedpur is probably not the best choice for you. You will get ample time during vacations to prepare but the environment of the institute is not ideal for the preparation of these examinations.
There are several groups of students, from the past few years, who have not qualified for examinations like these from the CSE department.
ISM is good because its tag helps in getting better opportunities in the future. If you're average at coding, even then do not worry because at ISM you will anyway get good packages. Being a government college, the syllabus at ISM Dhanbad is better.
ISM has a placement rate of 100% for CSE in IIT Dhanbad. If you're planning to study abroad then the IIT degree will matter greatly for admission to any foreign University.
As for BITS Pilani, surely it ranks among the top educational institutes in India for engineering. It is on par with the top IITs and the placement rate is 100% like at ISM Dhanbad.
The campus keeps getting renovated and holds a photographic charm with state-of-the-art facilities. The crowd is amazing as well. You can decide based on your location, future goals, preferred weather if you will- because both institutes are at par with each other.
Like any other engineering college, the Computer Science placements are superior at Thapar University in comparison to other branches. The majority of students with good grades end up getting a decent job.
Here are a few points highlighting the CS placement scenario at Thapar University
Overall, the Computer Science placements at Thapar University are great!
