Which one is best: CSE/IT at NIT Surathkal, NIT Trichy, DTU, IIIT Allahabad, or BITS Hyderabad/Goa?

CSE/ IT is a preferred branch but the colleges offering these streams need to be compared on the basis of the following parameters Fees, Seats, Placements, Number of companies visiting the campus, and Cut-off.

The aforesaid parameters can be justified in detail below for both CS and IT separately.

Course Fees:

• NIT Surathkal has a fee range of Rs. 4.94 Lakh for computer science/ information technology

• NIT Trichy provides the course at Rs. 5.24 Lakh.

• DTU provides both courses within a primary range of Rs. 7.81 Lakh.

• BITS Hyderabad provides a computer science course at Rs. 15.66 Lakh

• IIIT Allahabad has a fee range of Rs. 15.66 Lakh.

Eligibility & Cut Off scores:

The eligibility for CS/IT at all the institutes is set as 10+2 with a minimum of 60% and JEE Mains score except for BITS Hyderabad which accepts BITSAT scores for admission. The cut-off score varies accordingly.

Placements:

• NIT Surathkal offers 100% placements with a record of an entire batch of 98 students. Primary recruiters are Capgemini, Genpact, Samsung R&D, Wipro Ltd., and CitiBank Ltd.

• NIT Trichy offers 95% placements in the sector of technology and operations. The top recruiters are HCL, Genpact, Wipro, Zoho, and Tech Mahindra.

• DTU offered 433 job offers in core engineering and technology firms focusing around 131 IT firms. 158 job offers were made along-with 122 students placed successfully.

• For BITS Hyderabad 120 companies participated from the IT sector, the majority of them were leading players like Adobe, Google, Microsoft, and Linkedin.

The other factor that is to be concerned is definitely the ranking and reputation of colleges in the marketspace. Both the NIT’s are exemplary performers in the field of engineering. IIIT focuses primarily on information technology. BITS in comparison to all is a private institute that can be a little behind in the race compared to major government institutions.
