With a rank of 787, can I get CS in CUSAT main campus?
CS in CUSAT is the 2nd most sought out subject after Naval Architecture. In the CUSAT entrance exam the first few seats are filled in the Naval Architecture branch then the CS seats. In all the branches first, the seats are filled in the main campus and then in the second campus.
According to the previous year’s report, the required cutoff for CS in the first round was 740. While in the third round the cutoff was 1037. Going by the cutoff trends, I will say you have a good chance of getting CS on the main campus.
Should I opt for CSE in IIT Gandhinagar?
IIT Gandhinagar CSE is a well-regarded program and despite being newly launched it has gained popularity in a short time period. This in itself is a testament to the quality of education offered here. The institute fairs well in almost all aspects be it faculty, opportunities, internships, and projects, etc.
The new IITs have their own weaknesses and strengths. Even the departments within an institute are not at the same level. The CSE department of IIT Gandhinagar is certainly superior among other branches of the institute and the institute itself is better than other new IITs. The professors here have high qualifications and a strong research profile.
In all, you should certainly join CAE at IIT Gandhinagar if you want to experience a good campus life, with locational advantages, and excellent placements.

Getting CSE at Thapar University as well as Jaypee Noida (JIIT) , which college should I choose?
Had you asked this question 4-5 years ago, the common answer would have been Thapar University. However, things have changed a lot in the last few years. Here are some reasons why I would suggest you to go for JIIT Noida for your B.Tech CSE-
- The crowd quality at Thapar University has gone down drastically. The reasons behind this are a 50% quota for Punjab students and the enormous increase in the number of seats. Both these actions have resulted in very low cut offs. The cutoff rank for Punjab students in JEE Mains is 1.5 Lakh+ for CSE department. The closing rank of JIIT Noida for the same is around 51 K+. Thus, the crowd is better in JIIT Noida as compared to Thapar.
- The batch size at Thapar University is much bigger than JIIT N. Thapar University has a batch size of 1200+ students for Computers while JIIT Noida has a batch size of only 250+ students. A smaller batch size means more placement opportunities and better attention towards the learning of each student.
- Location-wise, NCR offers more opportunities than Patiala. You will get numerous opportunities in NCR like trade shows, conferences, training, better placements, etc. Gurgaon and Noida are the new IT Hubs, second only to Bangalore and at par with Hyderabad and Pune. As a CSE student, you should prefer Noida over Patiala.
- Though Thapar University has a bigger campus of 250 acres, your life will mostly revolve around your classrooms, nearby areas and your hostel. Thus, the smaller campus of JIIT N should not be that big an obstacle.
- The average package for B.Tech CSE is around INR 13.28 LPA at JIIT Noida, which is better than Thapar University in which the average package for the UG stream stands at around INR 10.97 LPA. Studying at JIIT Noida is also around 30-40% cheaper than Thapar.
Thus, at present, CSE from JIIT Noida is a much better choice.
Which one should I prefer, NIT Bhopal for CSE or NIT Calicut for CSE?
A friend of mine used to be a student of NIT Bhopal and I can give you some insights based on his experiences.
- Faculty: In terms of faculty, the less you expect from them the better. You will be entirely left to fend for yourselves. Even if the labs are more or less okay, you will have to approach a faculty for making use of the facilities and learn on your own.
- Attendance: It is not mandatory for the students to maintain a certain percentage of attendance. Having an attendance of 40-50% would be enough. A lot of the students who were in my friend’s batch completed the program through PDF files.
- Labs: If you are not smart enough to learn on your own then the labs will not be of much help to you. The scenario is changing now however and the students are being forced to go to the labs.
- Projects: If you are passionate about development then it will probably get a huge blow as researches oriented programs are only accepted at NIT Bhopal. The institute wants to publish more and more of its research papers in its name for career development. If you do not submit your research paper at the end of your project, your grades will be negatively affected.
- Placements: Speaking about the placements, it’s good for CSE. All the cons of the institute do not take a toll on the impressive placement record of NIT Bhopal.
- Coding culture: The competitive programming at NIT Bhopal will bring you in contact with some of the best coders of the institute. The atmosphere also promotes healthy competition.
Apart from all these pros and cons, you will get ample time to prepare for competitive exams like CAT, UPSC, GMAT, GRE, etc.
What is the importance of a CGPA for a B.Tech (CSE) student to get a good campus placement at Nit Warangal?
I have said this many times and will say it again, one should never underestimate the value a CGPA holds in shaping your career. Don’t fall for the trap ‘Grades don’t Matter’ because they do and to a great extent. This can be further understood through the following anecdote that revolves around two of my closest friends.
Both of them were CSE students at NIT Rourkela. Both were regular in their classes and completed their assignments on time. However, by the end of the 3rd year, one friend scored a CGPA of 6.90 while the other ended up getting a 7.05 CGPA .
During the placements, most top companies like Microsoft, Uber, De-shaw, Arcesium, Visa, and Samsung set their cutoffs to 7 CGPA. Students who did not qualify for this weren’t eligible to sit for their placements. The friend with the higher CGPA appeared in the interview for several companies and ended up with a good role and package while the other friend with slightly less but below 7 CGP could not even sit for their placements. Eventually, he got placed in an average company with a low package.
The core lesson from this anecdote is that CGPA matters a lot during placements, especially for the best companies. Hope my answer clarified the importance of a CGPA for a BTech in CSE student at NIT Warangal.
