Is NIT Surathkal IT good?
My brother has graduated from NIT Surathkal in 2018 and completed his BTech in Information Technology. According to his experience, the department had helpful and brilliant students, although the faculty was a mixture of average and good professors. The CSE and IT departments are the most sought after and have an average placement rate of 90%-100%, so here are some more facts regarding the same-
- The faculty is not that good due to two factors, firstly because it is not as dedicated to research as are those in IITs. For instance, IIT Bombay is excellent in research initiatives.
- Secondly, the department requires 15-20 full-time faculty members, but currently, there are about 10-12 assistant professors on an ad-hoc basis, some of them do not even possess a Ph.D.
- Lastly, the teachers are not very adept at communicating better. Some seniors had been much more helpful in the understanding of concepts by students.
- However, the department is free of petty politics unlike the CSE department, where there's a bit of tiff between the teachers and students.
The following table shows the placement data for IT at NIT Surathkal-

The good point about the IT Department is that it has an excellent placement rate only second to CSE. Scoring good marks also is not an issue if you're able to rote learn for subjects like Data Structures, also if it could be taught using Introduction to Algorithms, then it'll be easy for students.
Should I take IIIT Allahabad IT for 5 years or IIT Roorkee GPT?
If I leave my biases towards Allahabad as a city aside. I would choose IIT Roorkee over IIIT Allahabad.
Here are some reasons in support of my decision:-
- The IIT brand that gets attached to you is an asset that shall forever remain worthy.
- IIT Roorkee's GPT is an exclusive division that delves into geophysical survey methods and their use.
- Older IITs like Roorkee boast a longer legacy and are highly esteemed for imparting quality Engineering education.
- IIT Roorkee GPT has an Average Package of 14 LPA while IIIT Allahabad IT is at 20 LPA.
- IIT Roorkee has better infrastructure and a bigger campus of 358.5 acres compared to the 100 acres of IIIT Allahabad.
- IIT Roorkee is ranked 5th in the NIRF ranking while IIIT Allahabad is ranked 89th.
Which one is better: CSE in Kiet Ghaziabad or IT in JSS Noida?
According to my experience as a former CSE student at KIET, choosing KIET over JSS Noida will be no doubt a good choice. You’ll also get the best infrastructure and faculty in the CSE branch.
There are considerably more opportunities here to do something unique in your field. I have seen my seniors getting placed at reputed companies like Amazon, Flipkart, Adobe, Accenture, and Infosys, to name just a few. Just last year, i.e. 2023, the highest package that they secured was INR 48.89 LPA. Moreover, about 93.98% of my seniors were successfully placed.
Which is a better option college for CSE or IT - VIT Vellore or IIIT Allahabad?
Considering this question, the first thing that can be highlighted is that both of these institutes cannot be compared at all. However, studying IT in IIIT Allahabad is far better as it offers several opportunities, as well as institutional environment and infrastructure to assist the student in their career growth appropriately.
However, CSE at Vellore Institute of Technology (VIT) is not so secure considering the programming prospects and study culture that the student will get at IIITA. This choice is easy enough for the student to make as per their career perspectives.
The following table gives a brief overview of these two institutes:

The average salary offered to IIIT Lucknow students is INR 18.42 LPA, while the highest package goes to INR 43 LPA. The Median package is INR 15 LPA, and the minimum package offered is INR 10 LPA.
Seeing the current scenario, in future also, IIIT Lucknow will give good placement to its students.
Therefore, if you are thinking of joining IIIT Lucknow then go for it. Because apart from having similar faculty to other top institutes, IIIT - L provides students to improve their technical and soft skills. And that improves the chance of their placement.
Which one should I choose, Dayanand Sagar College of Engineering ISE or New Horizon College of engineering CSE?
According to the 2021 WBJEE cutoff, the required cutoff for CSE at Heritage Institute of Technology is 3434 (general). So, it will be difficult to get admission in CSE with your rank. As an alternative, you can go for IT at Heritage. It offers similar career prospects as the CSE branch.
With 4.5k rank, you can also try for KGEC EE/JGEC CSE/GCECT CSE/GCELT CSE/IEM IT/ GCETTS CSE.
At this rank in case, if you are getting a Govt. college don’t go for it as there is a very low chance of placements.
How is the IT branch at IIEST Shibpur? How are the faculty and placements related to IT branch? Is it comparable to CSE here?
IT at IIEST Shibpur can be good but you need to utilize the opportunities you get properly. The infrastructure at the institute is good. Microsoft also recruits students from campus placements. In the past students have bagged good internship opportunities. One of the students was accepted for Google California (Internship). Compared to the CSE, the IT branch is a little behind in terms of salary packages offered. However, this branch has good diversity.
Faculties for CSE and IT branches are comparable and the IT department even has better faculty members for a few of the subjects. The main difference between CSE and IT is that IT is a sandwich branch of CST and Electronics. So, naturally, you will need to study some Electronics subjects too. For Communication Systems, the IT branch does not have decent faculties. Adding to that, the subject is also not that useful for the future. Despite that this subject eats a chunk of the time of IT students.
Another difference is CST introduces important subjects like algorithms in the 2nd year itself. Whereas, IT introduces these topics one year later.
Basically, the essence is the same for the two branches, there are some minor differences in curriculum and lab work. How you do in placements depends on your hard work.
Which should I choose: IIIT Allahabad (IT) or BITS Pilani campus (Manufacturing)?
When it comes to making a decision about your higher education, it is important to consider all your options and choose the one that best fits your goals and interests.
If you are considering taking Manufacturing at Pilani with the hope of transferring to a different branch after the first year, it's important to keep in mind that branch transfers are not guaranteed and can be difficult to obtain. Therefore, it might not be the best option for you if you are not genuinely interested in pursuing a degree in Manufacturing.
Instead, you might want to consider IIIT Allahabad for its IT program. It is a well-respected institution with a good faculty and a reputation for producing skilled graduates. Plus, it might be a better fit for you if you are interested in pursuing a career in IT or related fields.
Another option to consider is taking a dual degree at BITS. This will give you the opportunity to pursue a degree in a related field and increase your chances of being accepted into a CS program at BITS. This can be a good option if you are willing to put in the effort and time required for a dual degree program.
In the end, the decision is yours and you should choose the option that aligns with your interests, goals, and career aspirations.
Which is better, the IT branch in NIT Raipur or the CS branch in IIIT Surat?
If you are interested in studying Computer Science or Coding, then you can take admission in IIIT Surat. In the following several comparisons between these two institutes are listed.
Indian Institute of Information Technology (IIIT)
- IIIT Surat is based on the Private and Public Partnership that is PPP. It gets funds from the Government of India, the State Government of Gujrat, and some Industry Stakeholders.
- The brand name of IIIT Surat is quite similar to IIT, additionally with the national tag.
- IIIT Surat offers admission only in the core branches of Information Technology: ECE and CSE. These two branches also offer high salary packages, so that student here gets higher CTCs than the students of NITs.
- It recommends a learning environment to the advanced syllabus that any other nationalized institute like IITs and NITs in EC and CS.
- Lastly, this institute has great demand as it follows the inclination towards the development of Digital India; thus, the job opportunities in IT sectors will be increased shortly.
National Institute of Technology (NIT)
- The top engineering colleges in India are IITs (Indian Institute of Technology), as it has the brand name of “Indian”, while NITs have a “National” Tag.
- Rather, NITs offer admission in most engineering branches, which are not available in IIITs.
Thus, it can be mentioned that IIITs are the best than NITs, specifically if the students want to establish their career in Electronics and Computer Science. Rather, for other branches, NITs are good, without any doubt.
