What should I prefer, KJ Somaiya IT or CS from Thadomal Shahani?
There isn't much of a difference between IT and CS, forget institutes individually where you would pursue them. Both CS and IT happen to consist of more or less the same subjects and the course pattern is also similar. There are only a handful of subjects that do not match when it comes to the subject courses of CS and IT and trust me, that isn't as important as it seems.
Eventually, it is all about your choice of college. It is assumed that you have done some prior research beforehand on the institutes. A former student of this institute who I know would also suggest not giving too much importance to the branches either.
Also, special mention to KJ Somaiya as along with the benefits of autonomy, you would be able to grab better placement opportunities for yourself at reputed companies with a handsome salary package. The top recruiters of the students of KJ Somaiya are Cognizant, PwC, Amazon, etc. Till now, 90% of students have been placed and the CTC was as high as 29.75 LPA and the average CTC stood at 9.4 LPA. Banking, Financial Services, IT are the sectors which recruited the most students.
Which is better: electronics and instrumentation in Thapar, IT in Maharaja Agrasen College or CSE in Maharaja Surajmal College?
Among these three colleges it will be better if you go for CSE at MSIT. As CSE is the most sorted department which will provide you with immense opportunities in the corporate field.
It is recommended that you do not opt for Thapar or especially electronics and instrumentation, as your scope will become limited. CSE or IT will open several gates for your future ahead.
Since you do not have any inclination towards any branch, a core branch like ICE which will require you to be one of the top students in the batch to secure a good job in the core company. Or you will get offered a job from mass recruitment companies.
So it is better to pay less for your undergraduate degree, stay in Delhi and pursue the course in demand.
What should I choose between history hons from Vivekananda college DU or Information technology from Amity Noida?
Both Vivekananda College and Amity University are very different and each of them offers a different outcome for your career. Focus on your career goal and choose the one that fulfills it. Do not make a rash decision by just the demand and popularity of the subject.
Contact a career counselor or take personality assessment tests to find where your interests lie. This personality test gives you the opportunity to identify your own strengths and weaknesses, which you can work on.
After this, you will have clarity on choosing your career path and what course or program will help you achieve it.
How is the IT branch in CUSAT and CUCEK?
In Cochin University of Science and Technology (CUSAT) engineering is offered by SOE (Kochi) whereas in CUCEK engineering is offered by (Alappuzha). Having friends studying in both the colleges, I can say that they are equally good.
- When it comes to the IT sector CUSAT introduced IT in India and is considered a pioneer for the IT sector.
- The IT branch is well facilitated in both CUCEK and SOE and is considered a good course to opt for here.
- Both the institutes are well established and have created a name for them.
- Faculties in both are well trained with a lot of experience.
- Both of them have world-class labs with the latest equipment and technologies to equip students with the latest inventions.
- Placements are also good for IT. Mostly they get placed in the southern region of the country like in Bangalore, Hyderabad and etc with good packages.

Which is better NSUT IT or PEC CSE for a Chandigarh student?
In terms of brand recognition and exposure, NSUT IT is better than PEC Chandigarh. Delhi offers way better exposure, due to the presence of the industry belt in the area. There are many reputed technological institutes in Delhi such as IIITD, so the learning opportunities are ample.
CSE and IT aren’t too different. The major difference between the two branches is hardware and 90% of students are more invested in software roles. If you aren’t particularly interested in the hardware section of Computer Science, choosing NSUT will be better. NSUT placements are great for IT. Students of the branch get salary packages in the range of INR 4 - 20 LPA.
What should i choose IT BVP or IT MSIT (GGSIPU)?
One of my friends studied at BVP and his experience was really good there. You should go for IT at BVP. BVP is the most active technical college of IPU. They have a lot of active societies while CSI and IEEE and have many coding competitions frequently.
Though IT at MSIT also has good facilities, it is not good and does not make any efforts for the welfare of students.

| Course Fee | 5.11lakhs | 4.69 lakhs |
| Highest CTC | 10-11 LPA | 13 LPA |

| Recruiting Companies | Byju’s, TCS, L&T, GE Digital, etc. | Microsoft, Josh Tech, ZS Associates, Optimus, etc. |
Let me tell you that even though my brother was in MAIT, he got his first internship through BVP rather than his own college. Go for BVP without thinking any further.
Should I prefer MAIT or VIT Vellore for an IT branch?
A cousin of mine used to be a student of VIT Vellore. He says that if you go with the data of the last decade, the placement records of VIT Vellore have been excellent.
The faculty of the IT department of VIT Vellore is top-notch and the teaching is of high quality. The IT department of VIT Vellore has been highly sought after. A big number of big IT names visit the campus throughout the year to offer jobs.
VIT Vellore is a brand in itself even though it is a Deemed University. The placements in CSE are also very good in the institute. The B.Tech program is ABET-accredited which is an international accreditation.
Some of the major companies that come to VIT are Microsoft, TCS, Infosys, Cognizant, CISCO, Flipkart, etc. VIT also makes it possible for the students to choose the subjects which align with their interests and even their teachers.

Completed with a good campus, great seniors, and recently been given the INI tag, it has the energy and enthusiasm to excel and the Director of IIEST is a great person. He works hard to improve the place.
Many of my friends study at NIT Jamshedpur. It has a good infrastructure but not in better condition. Newly constructed hostels at NIT are also good. But officials of NIT are not promising.
Therefore, IIEST Shibpur is a better choice as it will give you many opportunities and give you a better experience.
