Currently, IIIT Una facilitates education through two temporary campuses of Dev Bhumy Group of Institutes, Himachal Pradesh and the NIT campus at Hamirpur, the main campus is still under construction and the placement is average. 

The first batch of IIIT Una passed in 2018, with an average salary of INR 3-4 LPA and highest salary of INR 10-12 LPA. In 2020, 90% students were placed and the average salary increased to 8 LPA and the highest to 16 LPA, hence it is being assumed that these statistics will improve in the upcoming years to reach the level of performance of NIT Hamirpur. 

For now, you'd like to know these -

• NIT Hamirpur has been ranked #98 by NIRF and Thapar ranks #29 on the same.
• As IIIT Una is working under the aegis of NIT Hamirpur, the institute receives the same companies for placement as does NIT Hamirpur. This year, names like Infosys, Reliance and IBM graced the campus and the highest package offered was INR 62 LPA.
• For COE, Thapar University students receive an average salary of INR 6-7 LPA.

It is difficult to assume anything in the case of IIIT Una, it has improved from the 2018 statistics, but it cannot be said how successful it'll be in four years' time. Whereas Thapar University is developing well as far as placements are concerned, in 2020 the highest package offered to Thapar University students was INR 39 LPA and 990+ companies made offers to them.

My sister studies in UIET Chandigarh, and it's an excellent institution both spatially and academically. Chandigarh is going to be one of the most flourishing IT cities in India - which enhances the scope for those students who wish to pursue a career in the field of computer science. 

You may also want to focus on these when comparing both-

• Tuition Fee- It has an affordable tuition fee if you compare it with IIIT UNA. You'll have to pay INR 82,000 as one year's tuition fee for the BE program at UIET Chandigarh; you'd have to pay INR 1.02 lakhs per semester for the B.Tech program at IIIT UNA.
• Faculty- IIIT UNA has 17 members for the CSE department, and all of them are guest faculty members. UIET also has 10-15 teachers who are very motivating.
• Study Environment- You'd feel a healthy level of competition in the CSE department because there'd be all-rounders and achievers in the class to motivate you to develop.

You can see from the table below that it has an excellent placement record as well-

Apart from this, the facilities at UIET Chandigarh are quite good if you're interested in sports, then you can join a sports club at the Punjab University and get professional guidance through a coach. Chandigarh itself is a city full of good recreational spots, you can also join different creativity clubs as well.

Amity University Uttar Pradesh’s first campus was in Noida. Amity Gurgaon is one of the recent establishments of the Amity family.

Amity Noida is considered to be the head of all the Amity campuses. Top recruiting companies like Microsoft, Google, Wipro, TCS, etc. visit the Noida campus first for placements. Students of Amity Gurgaon can also go for placements at Amity Noida. They are open to student participation.

Finally, it depends on your choice and what you prefer as an institution. Do check the college ranking and whatever they are offering from the official website. Also, you could ask ex-students for a proper insight about the college.

It is suggested that you go for Amity Noida as it holds a better position and is one of the first and the oldest campuses of Amity University.

I have a few friends at Amity University Gwalior, and based on their experience at the institute I will recommend Amity. 

• The schedule at Amity is quite hectic, and it always ensured that students make the most of their time on campus, particularly during classes. It implant values such as punctuality, sincerity, and time management, which take years to enshrine in a student's lifestyle. 
• It is the ideal location for you if you are serious about your studies.
• As you become more familiar with the campus and your specific course, you will notice how the environment and elders begin to shape your overall personality brick by brick, restructuring it into an ultra-professional one that will serve as a home for confidence and increased self-esteem in you. 
• Aside from that, the Amity has successfully adapted a global standard of education. Amity University has tasted impressive progress over the last few decades thanks to ambitious learning methods and a broad vision for quality education in India.
• Finally, university festivals are a feast for the youth's hearts and minds. These festivals have something for everyone. They encourage students to think outside the box and to break free from the constraints of limited perspectives.

Being said that, Amity does charge a hefty course fee. So, if you are on a budget you can go to Oriental University. Indore is a great city with many internship opportunities. You have to be the one to make the final call.

Many students claim that CSE/ECE at IIIT Guwahati is better than CSE/ECE at M.S. Ramaiah Institute of Technology, Bangalore. Here are some of the supporting facts.

• IIIT Guwahati is getting better at all the parameters every year.
• One of the biggest advantages of choosing IIIT Guwahati over M.S. Ramaiah Institute of Technology, Bangalore is that it has a permanent director Mr. Gautam Baura who has served 33 years in IIT Kanpur and IIT Guwahati.
• The campus of IIIT Guwahati has settled in its permanent campus which is only 4km from the airport. It only takes about 11 min to reach, thus making it easy for the companies to visit during placements.
• The institute has a Public-Private Partnership. Thus, some of the reputed companies such as TCS have invested in the foundation of the institute. Thus, these companies visit every year to participate in the placement drives.

IIIT Guwahati also has a better brand value than M.S. Ramaiah Institute of Technology, Bangalore. Thus, the brand matters if you want to study or get a job abroad afterward.

If you want to enjoy city life and learn to code, you should choose M.S. Ramaiah Institute of Technology, Bangalore. It is easy to get coaching and part-time internship opportunities in Bangalore.

RM and SM are different schools now and are no longer considered XIMB. XSRM and XSoS are now Xavier School of Rural Management and Xavier School of Sustainable Management respectively. 

• The RM and SM programs come under Xavier University, Bhuvaneshwar. This means that post the convocation, your degree would read “XUB” and not “XIMB”. But you would be happy to know that the faculty is the same and placements are deserving. 
• You would be exposed to diverse sectors regardless of what course you are pursuing. 
• If RM and SM are the only specializations for you, it’s then up to you to choose whatever future you would like. Agricultural finance and GIS tagging are some sectors that are in trend these days in the line of either specialization. 

Both the courses are equally good and have their own importance. So, it’s all your decision, which field you want to pursue your career in.

It’s difficult to determine which institute is better as the courses in question are different. However, given below are information about the two courses which may help you make the decision.

• Though NIT Surathkal is among the oldest of the NIT’s, their IT department is comparatively new. IIT Bhubaneswar’s Mechanical Engineering department is popular and one of the core subjects.
• It is always better to study Mechanical engineering in IIT Bhubaneswar than IT from NIT Surathkal because core engineering will be preferred by recruiting companies than IT.
• NIT Surathkal has better placements than IIT Bhubaneswar due to its older and more noticeable connections with the recruiting companies.
• An IIT Bhubaneswar graduate will be offered less salary than an NIT graduate due to its reputation and popularity among recruiters. A graduate from NIT receives an average salary package of around 9 lakhs per annum.
• NIT Surathkal is ranked 5th in their Engineering category and IIT Bhubaneswar ranked 9th in their engineering category by Times Engineering Ranking 2019.
• The Cut off for IT in NIT is 2509-3321 and for Mechanical Engineering in IIT Bhubaneswar is 4003-12065.
• IIT (Bhubaneswar) as a brand that is much more popular than NIT (Surathkal) and is valued by both students and recruiters alike.

The final decision is up to the choice of a student and his/her preferred course of study.

As your choice of course is different, it’s hard to select between IIT Bhubaneswar and NIT Surathkal.

According to the NIRF 2019, IIT Bhubaneswar is ranked at 26, which is a good rank considering it’s a new IIT. The Mechanical Engineering department is quite good at IIT Bhubaneswar. According to the 2019 placement record, 83% students got job offers from Mechanical Engineering in IIT Bhubaneswar. Many famous companies such as Amazon, H Jindal Stainless Ltd, KEC International, KIIT, Rao Edusolutions, TATA steel, TATA Advance System, Thermax, TETCOS, TESCO, UHG, and other companies as well recruited students last year.

NIT Surathkal is a well-reputed name in Indian Engineering institutions. According to NIRF Ranking, it ranks at 22 nationally among engineering institutes in India. ECE in this NIT is even better as compared to a few IITs. The placement records of 2018-19 show that 97% of placement offers were received by students in this department. The average placement offer was 12-13 LPA.

Both IIT Bhubaneswar for Mechanical and NIT Surathkal for ECE are good choices with their own advantages. So, choose wisely according to your convenience.
