IT in SGSITS is better than CSE in IET DAVV. It is older and more recognized in the industry. It has an excellent student crowd. The environment on campus is competitive. 

SGSITS placements are great for IT, due to the legacy of the institute. The median CTC of the branch is INR 5 LPA. L&T Infotech, ZS Associates India Pvt. Ltd., and Adani Group are some of the major recruiters for the branch.

IIM Kozhikode and IIM Lucknow are both highly reputed institutions in the field of management education in India offering top-quality education. However, they seem to have some differences in terms of their focus areas and curriculum.cIM Kozhikode focuses more on research and academics with an upper hand in the areas of finance and economics. IIM Lucknow on the other hand is known for its focus on management education and its strong reputation in the areas of marketing and human resources. My friend was a student of IIM Kozhikode but stayed at IIM Lucknow for a while so he had a picture of both the institutes.

• IIM Kozhikode fairs better in terms of climate and weather conditions than IIM Lucknow
• IIM Lucknow has a better quantity and quality of recruiters during the placement season
• South Indians are more friendly than people in Lucknow
• IIM Kozhikode has better opportunities in terms of student Exchange programs.
• IIM Kozhikode offers a better campus view and has a serene ambiance in comparison to IIM Lucknow which is mostly arid dryland.
• The food offered at both the institutes may highly vary in taste but the quality is equally good.

Both institutes have a strong alumni network and good placement records. Ultimately, the choice between the two will depend on the individual's interests and career goals.

The choice of the branch is more important than choosing the institute because it determines and shapes your career. If you are interested in working in a PSU or have an interest in Electronics, choose ECE but if you have no such inclinations choose CS, the most diverse field. There are two main differences between IIITs and NITs

• IIITs are relatively new and may not have a very extensive alumni network while NITs are aged old and have an elaborate network.
• NITs provide diverse specialization in various fields while IIITs only focus on Computer Science education. 

Based on the placement scenario and the academics, here is the preference order I would suggest you follow while making your choice

NIT Jalandhar CSE>IIIT Jabalpur CSE>NIT Raipur CSE>NIT Kurukshetra ECE>NIT Hamirpur ECE> NIT Jamshedpur ECE

It's important to note that this preference order is not based on any official data and is based on my own opinion only.

I would like to highlight a few points in favor of choosing IT at NIT Surathkal-

1. IT and CSE have more or less the same curriculum.
2. NITK offers excellent placements. This is especially true for circuital branches- CSE, IT, ECE and EEE. Top students from these branches are offered placements at brands like Google and Microsoft.
3. NITK is a brand in itself. Since it is an NIT, it offers much more exposure and opportunities. 
4. NITK admits JEE Mains toppers from all across the country. So it has a very rich crowd.
5. As a Bangalorean, you can frequently visit home from NITK. 
6. As a hosteller at NITK, you’ll learn important life skills. 

Thus, based on these factors, I would recommend you choose IT at NIT Surathkal over CS at RVCE Bangalore.

When comparing two B-Schools with similar placements, there are a couple of factors you should consider. Firstly, you should look at the batch size and the brand. TAPMI has a larger batch size compared to SIBM Bangalore, which may lead to more dilution in resource allocation. 

On the other hand, a smaller batch size in two equally-matched B-Schools ensures batch quality. The second factor to consider is the brand of the B-School, which is something you should analyze on your own. It is important to understand the brand value of a B-School, as it reflects its reputation in the industry and the quality of education it provides. Ultimately, you should choose a B-School that aligns with your goals and aspirations, and provides you with the best opportunities to achieve them.

The final decision should be solely based on your interest in the core subject. Here is a detailed comparison of both IIT Delhi and BITS Pilani

Brand Value – Today, IIT has more brand value than BITS since it is one of the most rapidly advancing institutes in India. But there was a time when BITS was considered the top brand, and as time passed, the interest and perspectives of the students also changed.

Curriculum – IIT Delhi has the most updated curriculum structure, which is absent at BITS Pilani. If you are into the software field, IIT Delhi would be a better choice; they gave you the opportunity to explore Python, Java, and Linux in the first year itself.

Location – IIT Delhi is situated in the center of the city, which is far better than the location of BITS Pilani, which is situated in a remote area

Infrastructure – BITS Pilani is one of the oldest institutes in India, so they lack good infrastructure. Meanwhile, IIT Delhi has air-conditioned classrooms, projectors, and well-equipped research labs.

Campus Life and Hostel Life – BITS Pilani offers a more social life to the students than IIT Delhi. Life inside the campus and hostel is extremely beautiful at BITS Pilani

Getting into IIT is a big achievement only if you manage to choose the right branch for yourself.

You should analyze your ambitions and interests in a particular field and determine what you possibly imagine yourself to be doing in 5 years and then make an informed decision. Clarity of goals is extremely necessary to make this crucial decision of choosing a branch.

If you want to enter politics, then your branch hardly matters. 

If you want to become an entrepreneur try to get an idea of the type of company you want to start

Basically, the choice of the branch is strictly a personal preference and cannot be objectively decided.

I have a few friends in both institutes and from what I heard from them, NIT Kurukshetra is much better than NIT Hamirpur. Here are some obvious reasons for the same

• Placements: NIT Kurukshetra's placement scenario is better than NIT Hamirpur's. Last year, its average package and highest package stood at INR 13.89 LPA and INR 1.25 CPA respectively while NIT Hamirpur's average package and highest package in 2023 stood at INR 12.83 LPA and INR 52 LPA respectively.
• Alumni : NIT Kurukshetra has a better and stronger alumni network than NIT Hamirpur. Some of the noticeable alumni that hold high positions are R. K. Gupta, Chairman and Managing Director, WAPCOS, Rajeev Kapoor, CEO, of Fiat India Automobile Private, and P. K. Munjal, MD, Hero Honda. 
• Location: NIT Kurukshetra has more location advantages as it’s near both Chandigarh as well as Delhi. Students thereby have access to coaching institutes where they can prepare for competitive exams.
• Faculty: The faculty pool is more or less the same in both institutes. 
• Rankings: NIT Hamirpur is ranked 23 for B.Arch and 99 for Engineering by the NIRF 2021 rankings while NIT Kurukshetra B.Tech ranking by NIRF is 58 out of 200 colleges in 2023 and it was 50 out of 300 colleges in 2022
• City: NIT Hamirpur is a far more beautiful city than Kurukshe and also has more places to explore than Kurukshetra.
• Infrastructure : Both buildings have been designed beautifully and have beautiful campuses. NIT Hamirpur has slightly better infrastructure than NIT Kurukshetra.
• Food: NIT Hamirpur has more options for non-veg than NIT Kurukshetra where mainly veg cuisine is served.

Based on the above points, you can decide which ones are the best for you!

It is worth noting that the brand value of "IIM" may vary among the different institutes. IIM Ahmedabad may have a different brand perception than IIM Lucknow, which may differ from IIM Kozhikode, and so on. With plans to establish an IIM in every state, getting admitted to one may not necessarily hold as much weight as it once did.

Older business schools may have more opportunities available to their students due to their more extensive alumni networks and long history of the establishment. Additionally, business schools located in metropolitan areas may have better access to recruiters, leading to potentially better job placements for their students.

Ultimately, it is up to you to consider these factors and make the final decision that best suits your needs and goals.
