Which is better VIT or NIT Raipur for CSE?
According to a senior of mine who has graduated from NIT Raipur, the institute is better than most top colleges in Bangalore including VIT institutes.
Despite having a soft spot for NIT Raipur, she does not discourage candidates from trying their luck at any other university, including VITs. She, however, suggests that they should get acquainted for measuring progress after completion of the undergraduate degree.
Campus:
- VIT campus is definitely better than the NIT Raipur campus. Although the NIT Raipur has been considerably renovated.
- The VIT campus will cost around 2 lakhs per year which includes hostel fees as well. Education at NIT Raipur will cost around 0.5 lakhs.
Course:
- The course of VIT will not have any effect on your CSE placement.
- On the other hand, your coding skills and DS+Algo will have a part to play in your placement. Either way, the effort is required regardless of how much you pay.
Placements:
- By the time you graduate, if you choose NIT Raipur, that is, the institute will pretty much be holding its own among other giants. My senior said two of her batchmates landed a 75 LPA package without paying hefty college fees.
- VIT, being a private college, is known to boost their placement records. In addition to that, they have a management quota as well which goes on to say that not all the best minds will be found there.
- A friend of my seniors had a good rank and went to VIT. He got chosen in three companies. VIT attracts employers in large numbers but they offer packages of only around 3-3.5 LPA.
In the case of NIT Raipur, almost every candidate will get at least one job, in recent years many also bagged two jobs. The ones who have, get a package of 4-8 LPA for the first job, and a package of as much as 16-17 LPA for the second job. Candidates who do not get a second job also land a job with a package of 4-8 LPA.
Overall, it is safe to say that CSE from NIT Raipur will be a good option.
What are the best things for NIT Raipur students to do on weekends?
A normal Sunday for an NIT Raipur student looks like the following.
- Naya Raipur Road Trip: Naya Raipur is a popular place for visiting. It is frequented by a lot of NIT Raipur students. The place is popular for night-outs as well.
- Food tours: As the quality of the food in the hostel is not up to the mark, the students go on a food binge on weekend nights. Places like ‘Little Hut’, ‘Pintu Dhaba’ are visited a lot by the students.
- Hanging out: Many NIT Raipur students spend their Sunday nights hanging out with their friends in and around the city. They can be seen having a gala time at Marine Drive, Magneto Hall, Ambuja Hall, etc.
- Sports: NIT Raipur students make the most of their Sundays by honing their skills in sports. A senior of mine used to play cricket every Sunday and he used to play almost the entire day. He was also an avid gamer and played games till it was time for dinner.
- Club Committee Activities: Committee members can discuss their strategies at Central Garden, Left Garden, or Amul Parlour. Team Nrityam can also be seen discussing their plans on weekends and so can the Abhinay Team.
In the case of upcoming tests, the students utilize their weekends by immersing themselves in their books for preparation.
Is NIT Raipur good?
In terms of academics, facilities, and placements NIT Raipur is an excellent option for pursuing a technical course. The high cutoff requirement is the reflection of the brilliant student crowd of the institute.
The institute has maintained a good placement record over the last few years. According to the highlights of NIT Raipur placements of recent years, the average package offered to the students is INR 9.7 LPA. L&T Infotech, Prism, MU Sigma, CapGemini, etc. are among the top recruiters.
The institute offers good extracurricular as well. It has more than 21 clubs and committees. Due to the locational advantage, students get decent exposure and facilities.
Are hostels currently available for all the students in NIT Raipur?
One of my friends is from this Institute, so I am quite aware of the situation. The hostel at the campus is basically available for only 30% of students and the rest of the students stay in a PG or private hostel or in nearby localities.
Hostels seats are allocated on a first come first serve basis. My friend was a little late for the admissions, so she had no choice but to stay in a private hostel. The monthly rent for the room and the mess facility is approximately 5000. The total fee for 1 year is 55,000 for a private hostel.
My friend belongs to an SC category, so even with the lower pointer, she was able to get a seat at Campus Hostel in the second year. The annual fee of the Campus Hostel is around 25,000, which should be paid in two installments (one in each semester).
Admission procedure for girls hostel:
- Recently, there has been a major change in the admission procedure. Now there are no reserved seats for the SC/ST/OBC category students. The seats are allocated only on the basis of grades.
- This step was taken because few Girls filed a complaint that they are not getting campus hostel just because they belong to General Category.
- In time: Girls are not allowed to go out after 8 pm.
Boys Hostel Admission procedure:
- For Boys the admission procedure is similar to girls, there is no reservation of seats.
- In time: For boys in a time of hostel is 11 p.m.
Hostel facilities should be available for all the students on campus like other IITs/most NITs. This will also provide a safe and good environment for students.
How much I have to score in CGPET for nit raipur CSE or IT branch?
You can't get admission through a CGPET scorecard, it is necessary for you to give JEE Main. The selection will be based on JEE mains rank. The selection for CSE is
As there is more competition for the CSE branch, so there is less chance of getting admission for this course. Besides, you can also choose the IT branch because last year, both CSE and IT branch students are eligible for all IT companies placements.
But if you want the CSE branch only, then you have to work hard. You must score more than 140 if you are from OBC category from Chhatisgarh. However, if you from the General category in Chhatisgarh, then your score must be above 170. For students from other states, the score must be around 180.
Getting admission to this institute will not be easy for you. Only your handwork and dedication can make this possible, so give your best.
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.
