When deciding between Maharaja Agrasen Institute of Technology (MAIT) and University School of Information, Communication and Technology (USICT), it is important to consider the advantages of each institution. Here are some points to consider:
Advantages of MAIT:
Advantages of USICT:
In conclusion, both MAIT and USICT have their advantages and disadvantages. While MAIT does not have an attendance issue, USICT offers better facilities, experienced faculty, and a vibrant campus life. It is important to consider your priorities and choose an institution that aligns with your goals and interests.
Both USICT and MAIT have an attractive campus. They also provide special USS benefits to the students.
One of my relatives used to be a student of USICT. In spite of being a student of that institute, he holds both institutes in high regard. A lot of students come from distant places and traveling gets time-consuming.
Before you choose your institute, make sure you keep the distance factor in mind because you might very well be spending several hours. This can be detrimental to you and other students who will take pains to reach the institute. Four years is not a short time, after all.
As for placements, you will be allowed to sit in for companies at IP University’s main entrance if you meet the requirements of eligibility and if your aggregate cut-off meets the requirements.
CSE in MAIT will give you a lot of opportunities to learn and grow. The department is also very supportive. The package you will get would be pretty decent if you are not really on the core technical side. Your expertise will determine the package you will be offered. The seniors and faculty will guide you in that regard.
IIIT is the place to be if CSE is your passion.
USICT offers a dual degree program which is B.Tech + M.Tech in a span of six years. Which limits your choice of opting for a masters’ program on your own. Also, the course is not an integrated program that is for five years, so you are not even saving one year. You will have to complete your usual B.Tech in four years and then M.Tech for three years.
The following table shows the placement details for both institutions:

However, USICT is a well-established institution in comparison to IIIT Vadodara and thus, it has certain benefits over IIIT Vadodara. So, choose what suits you best.
USICT has a good placement record. Some of the major recruiters at the institute are Nagarro, Impetus, Infogain, Infosys, Winsol, etc. And there are some companies that include Cognizant, TechMahindra that invite sit-in pool placements.
Other than that, one of the good things about USICT is that almost every student got placed from the CSE and IT departments.
Here is a brief highlight of the recent placement statistics at these institutes.

A friend of mine used to be a student of MAIT and he heard that it was possible to migrate from one college to another. He was told that for moving from one college to another, you have to have a ‘no objection certificate from the college you are migrating from and the college you are migrating to. Good grades are also mandatory for moving to and from colleges.
In addition to these, you will also have to fill forms after completion of the first year on the main website of the college. Of course, you will have to submit the form to the college you are currently in.
Hope this clears some doubts.
IPU–CET is the annual university level entrance test conducted by the Guru Gobind Singh Indraprastha University (GGSIPU) to induct students to its various undergraduate and postgraduate programs in the affiliated colleges as well as its own schools.
As far as marks are concerned GGSIPU does not reveal the marks but only the ranks of the students. Now, as far as ranks are concerned these are the required cutoffs for CSE in recent years.
USIT - CSE Dual Degree (GNGNO) |
27297-31092 |
MAIT- BTech CSE |
2220-2806 |
These are the ranks of the last round after which admission stops. Aim for a rank lower than that for getting admission in earlier rounds. Also as these are last-round ranks there is very little chance of the ranks getting any lower than that.
