Should I join IIT Guwahati CS or BITS Pilani CS considering BITS got the Institute of Eminence tag?

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

• BITS Pilani has 2 internships of its own. This is an extremely crucial point as the government has made 3 internships compulsory for engineering students in order to secure a good job.
• Another plus point of BITS is its extremely flexible curriculum with a plethora of electives to choose from. Additionally, there are open electives from other branches that lets you explore beyond your branch and broaden your horizons.
• A few tech giants prefer visiting only IIT Bombay, IIT Delhi, and BITS Pilani.
• BITS Pilani has an excellent peer group with some students who have cleared prestigious competitions like GSOC, and ACM ICPC. You will find yourself surrounded by top rankers around 1000 AIR in JEE Advance.
• The alumni pool is extensive and constantly supports the institute.
• BITS Pilani has got the tag of Institute of Eminence tag making it eligible to collaborate more with foreign universities and carry on student and faculty exchange programs freely. 

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!
