It’s illogical to compare two programs as the choice of branches depends on individual preferences. I will share the limited knowledge I possess for IIT Hyderabad CSE.
Since I have no information on IIT Guwahati, I recommend you contact a senior and discuss basic details.
B.Tech in AI(Artificial Intelligence)
This course is somewhat similar to CSE except that you’ll be mainly studying courses on machine learning and AI. Students of this program have to be proficient in Maths, ML, DL, etc. These courses are compulsory and you will be assigned projects on the same topics.
B.Tech in CSE
Under this program, you will be studying CSE subjects like databases, operating systems, networks, computer architecture, etc. IIT Hyderabad’s fractal system will let you take AI subjects and work on areas of ML and AI as well. So you are free to choose your research area.
Ultimately, you should determine what interests you and then only decide what to take. It’s better to research everything before making the final decision.
To make the best choice, I have entailed the pros and cons of both the institutes
IIT Guwahati Pros
IIT Guwahati Cons
IIT Hyderabad Pros
IIT Hyderabad Cons:
IIT Guwahati should never be your first choice and IIT Hyderabad is a much better option.
Except for BITS Pilani, CSE at Thapar is far superior to any other university.
Chandigarh University does not offer better placements or opportunities. It's all just public relations to boost the college's image.
Thapar Institute of Engineering and Technology, on the other hand, is one of India's most prestigious and best engineering institutes. In the NIRF Government of India rankings, Thapar Institute of Engineering And Technology was ranked 23rd. For the last six years, the placement rate has been consistently higher than 90%. A total of 361 recruiters took part, recruiting 1622 students. Students were offered the highest package of INR 40 LPA, while the average package was INR 10.97 LPA.
Thapar University accepts students based on their JEE scores.
Both colleges are quite good. My sister is currently pursuing her CSE from BIT Patna so here are some crucial insights you must have a look at.
BIT Patna definitely stands as a better choice if placements are your goal and there are no financial constraints. Choose wisely as you would be dedicating your precious 4 years of your life that will decide your career.
Since one of my sisters is a part of LNCT Bhopal, it is best to limit the answer to discussing it. As per what she mentions, LNCT Bhopal is a promising institute when it comes down to departments like CSE, IT, or ECE.
Here is a brief insight about the placement session conducted at LNCT Bhopal, as per the latest records:
Institute | LNCT, Bhopal |
Placement Percentage | 83% |
Highest Salary Package | INR 27 LPA (2020) |
Average Salary Package | INR 5.3 LPA |
Top Recruiting Companies | VMware, Microsoft, Amazon, Cognizant, Wipro, Infosys, TCS, Capgemini |
It provides very disciplined conduct of college life. However, it is best that you compare the prospects of both institutes and make an informed decision afterward.
All three colleges, IIT Dhanbad, IIT BHU, and MNNIT Allahabad, are well-reputed and offer quality education in their respective fields. However, the choice between the three ultimately depends on your personal preferences and career goals. Here are some points to consider:
IIT Dhanbad (CS):
Pros:
Cons: Relatively new compared to some of the other IITs, so may not have as established an alumni network.
IIT BHU (Electrical):
Pros:
Cons: As an Electrical Engineering program, it may not have as many opportunities to specialize in Computer Science.
MNNIT Allahabad (CS):
Pros:
Cons: May not have as established an alumni network compared to the older IITs.
Based on the above factors, it would be recommended to consider IIT Dhanbad (CS) as the best option among the aforementioned colleges.
While a clear-cut answer to this question isn’t possible, here are some insights regarding ranks and admissions according to my friends who are currently studying there.
One of my friends is a final year student from LNCT pursuing B.Tech in IT. He secured a rank of 1,27,000 in 2017 but he wasn’t able to secure a seat in CSE Branch with that rank. Instead, he took a seat in IT in the 1st round itself. Yes, he didn’t wait for the 2nd or 3rd round. However, you can wait for at least the 3rd round to see if your chances increase for the CSE branch.
Secondly, it also depends on your quota. Most of the time it is quite impossible to secure a seat with such a rank without any quota. My friend who belonged to the unreserved category couldn’t get in even EC with a rank of 69,000.
In recent years the required cutoff for CSE at LNCT Bhopal was 83761.
At last, if you are looking forward to a bright future in CSE or IT, establish your skills in programming on your own. If you are dependent on your college for learning something such as programming, your chances of grabbing programming job profiles are less.
Branch-wise, you won’t find many differences as the curriculum and courses covered are almost similar. However, the overall ambiance and exposure offered us better at BITS Pilani. Here are a few points to support my stance
Ultimately, there is no right choice, and choosing one over the others is completely a personal choice. Either way, you will lose and gain something!
