Questions Asked On CET Bhubaneswar, Bhubaneswar

Here are some details about both these colleges-

VSSUT holds a strong reputation in Orissa, but CET isn’t that popular. One reason being that there are plenty of Engineering institutes in Bhubaneswar. VSSUT offers better placement prospects than CET. Even though CET receives more companies due to its favorable location, VSSUT receives more job offers. 

VSSUT is quite old, and has a rich legacy. CET is also old, but comparatively new. The location of CET allows easy access to coaching centers, and offers more facilities for extracurriculars.

Both have their own advantages and disadvantages. You can choose between the two based on your preferences and goals.

In my opinion, choosing a lower branch at NIT Rourkela is better than choosing a good branch at CET BBSR. Whenever choosing a college, always give preference to the institute over the branch. This is because choosing a bad institute can limit your experience no matter how good the branch is. The poor faculty, infrastructure, and opportunities will affect your academics, and the ‘good branch’ will not come to your rescue. 

On the contrary, an average branch but a good institute will provide more scope in terms of exposure and academics. The right guidance from an experienced faculty will provide opportunities even in a low branch. Moreover, one can never be certain of the right branch for themselves as they have limited knowledge of the courses taught. 

So, it's wise to choose a lower branch at NIT Rourkela than to go for a better branch at CET BBSR.

But the placement stats are good. The students miss out on competitive events and internship opportunities because of the distance from Bhubaneswar. 

CET is the only government institute in Bhubaneswar other than IIIT. More recruiters visit its campus during placement season. Samsung, Dell and Toshiba are some of the top companies that visit the CET campus. 

In terms of academics, VSSUT offers a flexible curriculum. This allows IT students to opt for a few advanced subjects. CET on the other hand, has a rigid course curriculum. In any case, make sure to polish your coding skills for a successful career in IT.
