My JEE Mains rank was good enough to get me a seat at SVNIT for B.Tech CSE. I finally decided to join ICT at DAIICT because-

1. The faculty members have completed their Phds from renowned Indian and foreign universities, and each of them are actively engaged in some research work.
2. The course curriculum is regularly updated, unlike the NITs that keep on teaching the old curriculum for long periods of time without regular updates.
3. ICT is a combination of CSE and ECE. So its curriculum is very broad and rich. This is the reason why more companies prefer DAIICT over SVNIT.
4. Only about 360 students are selected for the B.Tech program of DAIICT every year. This speaks volumes about the quality of students on campus. 
5. A good number of DAIICT students are selected for GSoC.
6. The coding culture is at par with IIIT Hyderabad and top IITs. DAIICT students go on to become ACM ICPC finalists. The environment is perfect for competitive coding, and the students are doing really well on popular competitive coding platforms like Hackerrank.
7. The clubs and societies of DAIICT are very active. There is an IEEE Student branch, with IAS (Industry Applications Society) chapter.
8. There are special interest groups for machine learning, mobile apps, artificial intelligence, etc. There are technical clubs like Programming club, Google Developers Group, Microsoft Students Technical Club, Webkit, etc.
9. Some of the non technical clubs are- the Debate club, the Press club, the Dance club, the Music club, and more.
10. The SBG-Student Body Government is a mediator between the administration and the student community. The seniors of SBG are very friendly and helpful. They can be approached with any problem.
11.  Like SVNIT, the DAIICT campus is also ragging free and very safe for juniors. 

I would recommend you opt for ICT at DAIICT Gandhinagar.

I am a resident of Surat, and SVNIT is very close to my house. During my college admissions, I was in the same dilemma. So I spent about a week at both the colleges to make a more informed choice.

One of the professors at SVNIT suggested that I opt for B.Tech ICT at DAIICT over Computer Engineering at SVNIT. He told me that DAIICT is a better option for computer related branches. Here are some pros of joining DAIICT as a B.Tech ICT student-

1. The placements at DAIICT are comparatively better.
2. Though the NITs have an established brand name, the reputation of DAIICT is better than SVNIT in top companies like Amazon, Morgan Stanley, MAQ, etc.
3. It has a greater number of GSoC qualifiers, and a better environment for Open Source Coding.
4. The environment is superior for competitive coding as well, and students participate in great numbers in online programming contests on platforms like codeforces, etc.
5. A large number of students prepare for exams like GRE, CAT, etc.

Thus, a B.Tech ICT at DAIICT is better in comparison to Computer Engineering at SVNIT.

First, I would like you to address your branch preference. Choosing a branch should be the top most priority. CSE and ECE are quite different from one another. Although IITs/IIITs/NITs do offer a branch change option, it is quite difficult to get it. So I would suggest you make up your mind on which branch truly interests you.

Now coming to the colleges. Choose IIIT Jabalpur for a CSE branch. This is because IIITs offer good placements, curriculum and culture in this branch. Even IIIT Kancheepuram is a good option for CSE. But the distance from home and food form an integral part of this decision-making. Assuming you aren’t from South India, the lifestyle and eating habits might be difficult to adapt to. As far as NIT Hamirpur and NIT Jalandhar are concerned, choose them if you are planning for an ECE degree. They are good colleges as well. 

First prioritize your branch and then choose your college among these four. I won’t suggest you go by college rankings. Basically, choose your branch first and then decide the best college for yourself.

You should compare these two institutes based on the performance of the branch that you are interested in. 

ISM is different from other IITs, in the sense that it is well-recognized for Mining, Geology, Petroleum, and other related branches. Other core branches like CSE, Electronics, etc. started after it got the IIT status. So, the institute will need some time to catch up with IIT BHU for these branches.

While IIT BHU has had many years to establish a brand name for these branches. It also exhibited many high packages over the years. Although the infrastructure at the institute is poor. 

So, if you are interested in branches like Mining, Petroleum, etc. then you should choose ISM. For mainstream branches, IIT BHU is better. 

Although CGC Landran started first, the MBA program at Chandigarh University is unmatched. The University School of Business at CU offers great international exposure, which is a major advantage for anyone studying here.

The university provides opportunities for an international semester exchange, a semester abroad, and frequent interaction with international experts. The MBA program at CU also hosts international faculty from institutions of great repute to deliver sessions and international university add-on courses for the students.

Some recent sessions included an international expert session on Statistical Models for correlated non-stationary count response data by Dr. Vandana Jowaheer from the Department of Mathematics, Faculty of Science, University of Mauritius, Reduit, Mauritius. The students also attended international expert sessions on Applied Research by Professor (Dr.) Prem Chhetri from RMIT University, Australia, where discussed the depth of knowledge about the supply chain, which starts from the producer and ends up with the customer.

Moreover, the students attended international expert sessions on Strategy to Gain Competitive Advantage by Dr. Ching-Pu-Chen, CGO, Global Affairs Office, Yuan Ze University, where he talked about how companies are incorporating values and culture in the organization to gain a competitive advantage in the market. Such expert sessions enrich the students with the latest updates regarding entrepreneurial and job opportunities in the market, as well as the needs of the industry. Therefore, the MBA program at CU provides an excellent opportunity for international exposure and knowledge enhancement.
