One of my friends told me that these three institutes must be in this order like; IIIT A>>> NIT Bhopal>= NIT Rourkela. Although he was a student of NIT Rourkela.
He stated that between these three, Rourkela and Bhopal are more or less equal. However, both of these institutes consist of some advantages and disadvantages as well.
If NIT Bhopal is considered and compared with NIT Rourkela, then it must be said that NIT Bhopal's strength is a large batch size; IT+CSE. But the main advantage of NIT Bhopal is the location and nearby airport transport facilities that conceal all the advantages of this institute. For this reason, NIT Bhopal experiences big recruiters every year, and NIT Rourkela misses this entirely. This is the reason why NIT Bhopal is one step ahead of NIT Rourkela.

However, at NIT Rourkela, M.Tech in Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) is almost similar to doing M.Tech in IITs. But in the case of Bhopal, the students can sit for placements for all the big companies in the campus recruitment process along with B.Tech companies. It will be better to avoid IIIT Allahabad for doing M.Tech in CSE, as placement opportunities in this institute are not good. This thing is that IIIT Allahabad does not allow M.Tech students to attend for placement in the on-campus recruitment process.
Thus, it can be stated that for the B.Tech course, IIIT Allahabad>> NIT Bhopal> NIT Rourkela.
My brother was in the CSE branch of NIT Trichy and based on his experience, here are a few pointers:
You won’t ever regret choosing NIT CSE.
The placement figures for the CSE branch at Thapar University are good.
Some of the well-known brands that visit the campus for placements include- Amazon, JP Morgan, CISCO, IBM, Flipkart, Microsoft IDC, Tata Motors, Alstom Transport, Royal Bank of Scotland, Royal Bank of Scotland (R&D), ARM, Walmart Labs, DE Shaw & Co, MU Sigma, Maruti Suzuki India Ltd, Sandisk Corporation, Informatica Corporation, Make My Trip.com, Zomato, Oracle, Deloitte, among others.
As per the data on 2023 placements released up till now by Thapar University, the number of recruiters who participated in campus placements is 334. 1774 students were placed in total and 1884 placement offers were made. 1664 students received single offers while 110 students received multiple placement offers. During 2022, the average package offered to the UG students stood at INR 10.97 LPA.
Thus, the placement figures for the CSE branch at Thapar University are quite impressive.
CSE at NIT Rourkela isn’t a very good option given that its curriculum is outdated and the pedagogy adopted to deliver modern concepts is very obsolete. Most of the foundation courses are taught like Maths which only cover the theoretical aspect of CSE. For the practical perspective involving implementing and developing new things, you will have to resort to self-study.
The faculty is very cooperative and assists you with innovative ideas and guides you in their respective fields. One of my friends and his batchmates set up a cluster to share large computations over a network and received enough guidance from the professors. However, as for the implantation details, they had to go the extra mile and figure out that stuff themselves.
In general, students who are keen to transform their rhetorical knowledge of computers into practical ones have to resort to self-study. So, the opportunities offered at NIT Rourkela CS are plenty if you make the right use of them.
A close friend of mine is an alumnus of IIITM Gwalior and he was able to give me some information regarding the institute.
The curriculum for CSE at IIITM Gwalior is quite good. CSE students do not have much academic load. The only thing you need to concentrate on is focusing on problem-solving skills(like designing algorithms, etc.) through coding. You should work at least 4-6 hours per day to hone these skills online, especially during the first two years of engineering.
It is not difficult to score an 8.0 CGPA, but you need to put in your honest work. However, targeting 9.0+ CGPA can be a challenge.
One of my friends graduated from NIT Trichy and here’s what I got to know from him about the salary packages offered to students at NIT Trichy. It is considered the best NIT among all.
CSE at NIT Trichy is the best option if you want a good salary package. Companies like Google, Facebook, and Microsoft visit during the placement program.

For CSE students, NIT Trichy has a 100% placement record, which they have maintained till now. Many top recruiting companies participate in their placement program. These include Microsoft, BNY Mellon, Amazon, Uber, Goldman Sachs, Mindtree, etc.
Heritage is a very good institute if pursuing CSE is your goal. If we talk about the ranking of the private institutes in West Bengal, then IEM (Institute of Engineering and Management) is the best in the state, followed by Heritage Institute of Technology. Techno India Salt Lake is third in the ranking.
Categories | CSE at Heritage Institute of Technology |
Course Fee | 4.04 lakh |
Placement Percentage | 80-90% |
Highest CTC | 24 LPA |

The companies that visit the institute are Microsoft, Amazon, Intel, Capgemini, Oracle, etc. TCS is the biggest recruiter of students graduating from Heritage.
With your decent score, you might be able to make it to a tier 3 government college. Well, whether you would get into the CSE branch or not would be based on your performance in the GD & PI round.

The 100 percent placement is guaranteed when the students in the branch are equally hardworking and skillful in their subjects of interest.
NIT Patna is a decent choice for your CSE. The faculty isn’t top-notch and won’t really go out of their way to guide and support you. The curriculum is as challenging as any other Engineering institute.
The placements are witnessing an increase year on year. During 2021 placements, the highest package of 44 LPA was offered to a single student from B.Tech CSE by Adobe. Companies like Microsoft, Google, Samsung, and Amazon visit the campus for IT recruitment. IBM also recruits candidates from CSE. The average CTC during 2020 placements stood at INR 8.93 LPA for the CSE department.
The campus life at NIT Patna isn’t really great and the infrastructure is also not the best. Patna, however, offers coaching facilities for CAT/ IES/ GATE aspirants. Also, the new Bihta campus of NIT Patna is expected to come into existence soon.
Overall, NIT Patna CSE is a decent choice. You will be responsible for enhancing and polishing your skills through online platforms.
More than 50 companies visit the campus during the placement drive. If you have more than 60% marks then you will be allowed to sit for the placements.
You can sit for as many placement rounds as you want even if you have secured a job offer from another company. You can attend a few placement rounds of companies that come for other core branches such as mechanical and civil.
