Bachelor of Technology [B.Tech] (Computer Science and Engineering) From IIITM Gwalior, Gwalior

Both the institutes are famous. But for the CSE branch, NIT Goa is the better alternative. The reason is placement and recruiters that visit the campus are much better than IIITM. The placement statistics of NIT Goa are below.

But if you are looking for an excellent hostel and campus life, NITG is not a choice for you. NITG does not have its campus. The current batches adjust in the campus provided by Goa Engineering College (GEC).

Let us go with a side by side comparison of both the colleges on the basis of the following factors: NIRF Ranking, Faculty and Placements.

NIRF Ranking: As per NIRF 2020, NIT Durgapur has been ranked 47th whereas IIITM Gwalior has been given a rank above 100.

Faculty:Having friends in both of the colleges I can share their views, and according to their personal experience the faculty at IIITM Gwalior is one of the best faculties out there in India. Also, you will get good research facilities in IIITM Gwalior.

Placements: As many of you might find this a major point while choosing colleges, you should know that NIT Durgapur offers placements for CSE branch with an average package of 6.5 lac pa and 29 lac pa being the highest package. On the other hand, there is not much data available on placements at IIITM Gwalior as CSE is a newly introduced branch.

At the end of the day, if placements are your topmost priority then NIT Durgapur is the best choice. But if you are more inclined towards research work you will need a good faculty for that, which you’ll get at IIITM Gwalior.

I have few friends at both IIITM Gwalior and IIITDM Jabalpur. Based on the conversation I had with them, I will say IIITM Gwalior is the better option for CSE.

The faculty at IIITM Gwalior is great. Most of the faculty members have Ph.D. The placement record of IIITM Gwalior is also quite impressive.

Here are the recent placement statistics for the institute.

IIITM Gwalior ranks better than IIITDM Jabalpur on almost all platforms. It also has a better coding culture. You can check the institute ranking on SPOJ to have a better idea about the coding culture on campus.

IIITM Gwalior offers 4-year degree courses along with five years of an integrated program. The CSE department is better in every aspect. Following points brief about the same:

• The core subjects are taught in the first semester itself. In the second semester, courses like data structures, database management systems, and discrete mathematics will be offered
• There are some management papers as well which will help you in learning managerial tactics.
• The batch strength at IITM Gwalior is quite less which makes it very easy to handle.
• You can interact and clear your doubts with the faculty members often.
• The coding culture of the college is very good. Even though you do not know to code you will learn from the seniors and batchmates.

The placement statistics of IIITM Gwalior is as follows:

The infrastructure of IITM Gwalior is new and great with spacious rooms and other facilities. As a CSE student, you will get single rooms in the first year itself. The college has not got much recognition like IIT’S and NIT’s but it is one of the best colleges.

One of my friends studied at DTU. To him, it is at par with old IITs and BITS. Let us see why he preferred DTU over any other IIITs or IITs.

• DTU has a 100% placement record. Almost all the big companies like Adobe, Google, Microsoft visit their campus for placement
• The salary package sometimes reaches as high as 1.25 crores.
• Recently there has been a change in the system of electives as you can study any subject of any branch. You can also choose online courses which are not present in most of the IITs.
• You can do everything there if you wanna write a research paper and have it published. Then, you can opt for writing a research paper instead of studying the subject.

You could also go for the 3 years mini-project instead of Opting any other subjects. You would not get these types of opportunities in the 7 IITs.
