Jadavpur University and IIEST Shibpur are both well-known institutes in the country. I have some friends at both institutes. Based on what I heard from them, I will say for CSE, Jadavpur will be a better choice.

Jadavpur is considered as the best institute in all of West Bengal when it comes to engineering especially CSE. Jadavpur is known to be the pioneer of CSE in India along with ISI and therefore had a head start. Jadavpur University has a better record of quality of education and the opportunities it provides to the students.

That doesn’t necessarily mean that IIEST is not a good option. IIEST is also a very reputed institution in our country and a pioneer in some engineering courses and research fields. You can certainly keep IIEST as your second option after JU.

Here is a brief outline of the CSE course offered by the institutions.

Hope this gives you some idea about the institutes.

Both Jadavpur University and IIITM Gwalior are esteemed institutes. Jadavpur University is known throughout India for its excellent performance in the fields of education. It has been known to be at the top 20 of the NIRF Ranking for the last few years in terms of everything.

Jadavpur University has a placement cell and statistics which can be compared to several IITs. Its placement in the IT and CSE cell are in the highest tier of packages. Jadavpur University has the best faculty in all of West Bengal for CSE and IT department.

Jadavpur University program is completed in 4 years as it originally takes however on the other hand IIITM Gwalior has an integrated course of B-tech and M-tech which takes 5 years to complete. The extra one year spent here won’t add much value IIIT Gwalior is not so acknowledged when it comes to the Masters’s degree or the higher degree. Even when we see in terms of alumni networking Jadavpur University has better networks spread around the world.

Here is a brief comparison of the institutes.

The decision solely depends on the institutes not on the course then. Both the courses are somewhat similar and Jadavpur University has got the upper hand when deciding about the institute. So IT at Jadavpur University would be the better choice.

Comparing Jadavpur University and NIT Durgapur is illogical and the same as comparing oranges and apples. Both the colleges have their unique strengths and weaknesses. Consider the following points becoming making the decision

• If you value quality education over brand value and NIT Tag, then choose Jadavpur.
• Both colleges are at a similar level in terms of placements, faculties, and academics. In fact, the companies visiting for placements are also almost the same.
• Jadavpur University does not have provision for in-campus hostel facilities. This might be a major issue for some

So if you are ready to stay outside the campus and have no interest in the NIT tag then choose Jadavpur but if you want a NIT degree then choose NIT Durgapur.

If you are considering joining JU then go for either JD Birla or Institute of Business Management. Their BHA program is one of the best in the country. However, JU has a bit of political influence so that might affect your learning experience. That being said, MAKAUT BBA seems to be the best option for you. Their curriculum and job opportunities are top notch and the institute does not have any kind of political affiliations. 

I will not suggest you join CU unless you are getting Goenka or Scottish. From what I have heard, the university has a very tough grading system. This might affect your job opportunities so consider this once before joining. 

Here is a comparative analysis of the placement scenario of these institutes

Other good private universities you can consider are Amity, Symbiosis, etc. 

If you want to learn about Computer Science Engineering or IT, then the Science College of Calcutta University is the perfect place. 

Faculty: (Winning Institution - Calcutta University)

• In India, there is no other Engineering college or institute that imparts such in-depth knowledge in the field of Computer Science Engineering as Calcutta University. 
• There used to be a time when all three HODs of the Electronics Engineering at IIT Kharagpur/ IIEST Shibpur / Jadavpur University were Professors (MTech/Ph.D.) from Calcutta University Science College.
• If you check the faculty details of the best professors in Electronics or Computer Science in most of the reputed Engineering College in West Bengal, you will find that they are alumni of Radio Physics or Electronics department of the Science College of Calcutta University.
• In fact, most of the reputed professors at IIT Kharagpur/ IIEST Shibpur/ JU are from the Applied Physics/ Applied Chemistry departments.

Placements:

If you are looking for good placements in CSE, then after IITs/IISc/IIEST/NITs, VIT Vellore, BITS Mesra, or even Manipal is better than Jadavpur University.

Here is a brief overview of CSE at CU and JU.

Achievements - CU:

Although people are trying to dismiss CU's contribution, it is the only university in India that has Noble Award-winning alumni, such as Dr. CV Raman, Dr. Amartya Sen, and World-renowned physicians Jagadish Bose, Meghnad Saha, and Dr. Ashok Sen at present.

If you have the knowledge and skills in CSE or IT, you don’t have to worry about placement. With proper skills, you can excel faster than even IIT graduates.
