Overall, you can enjoy pretty good placements at SVNIT Surat, and as aforementioned, belonging to the CSE branch has the highest probability of grabbing excellent packages.
Usually, CS is considered one of the finest branches in almost every college. Therefore, to meet the requirements a person should score well and get their seats reserved in the college.
From the past few experiences, it has been seen that the JEE Mains score matters immensely for your admission, if you are from a general category then your score should be mandatorily more than 80, and if you are from scheduled caste or scheduled tribes then 20-30 marks will also work.
Lastly, we can conclude that to get into the computer science branch in LNCT Bhopal you should be active enough to refer to the previous cut-off so that you can set your targets according to that.
Listed below are some facts which will help you to choose between these two colleges.
The table shows a brief overview of the institutions.

Both the institutions are highly renowned and offer good education in the field of Computer Science Engineering.
BITS Pilani offers better campus life and overall growth opportunities. Both the institutions offer equally good research facilities. The total course fee for CSE at NIT Surathkal is INR 5,73,820 while at BITS Pilani, it is INR 21,15,600.
During the 2022 placement season, the CSE branch at NIT Surathkal recorded the highest package of INR 45 LPA. The data for 2023 placements isn’t available as of yet.
At BITS Pilani, during the 2023 placement season, 104 students were placed from the IT branch. The CTC range stood at INR 11-38 LPA. Thus, both the colleges offer good placements for Computer Science Engineers.
If fees is a factor of concern for you, choose NIT Surathkal. Otherwise, both the colleges are a great choice for a CSE degree, and you won’t regret choosing any of them.
Both programs are equally good in their respective fields and so are the institutions offering the programs. It’s important to consider what you expect from the program and what you plan to achieve after graduation to make the right choice.
My sister was in a similar dilemma as yours and eventually, she opted for MCA from IIT Delhi.This program has many courses similar to CS but the only problem is, the pedagogy adopted has a more theoretical approach than practical. Moreover, at some point, you will start questioning the parity of the faculty and will have to resort to self-study.
But here is the bright side, most companies coming for CS placements consider MCA students too, and offer decent roles.
Although I am not well aware of the situation in Roorkee, I can guarantee a true coding lover will prefer CS to MCA any day.
Yes, KIET Ghaziabad is no doubt excellent for CS. On top of studying at an affordable fee, you will get excellent placement and internship offers. In 2023, the placement percentage was considerably high at 89.78%. The highest package was around INR 48.89 LPA and the average package was INR 6.86 LPA. Many of my seniors got placed in good companies, some qualified GATE and some of them even were winners in Hackathon and other competitions.
It depends upon what you think you will pursue as a career. Generally, there are transparent ways into monitoring whether or not an institute is really worthy, at least when considering the CSE department.
Categories | CSE at Jaypee Noida | CSE at NIT Goa |
Course Fee | 9.22 lakh | 5.38 akh |
Highest CTC | 20 LPA | 14 LPA |
Average CTC | 10 LPA | 7 PA |
Recruiting Companies | Adobe, Accenture, Cognizant, KPMG, etc. | Capgemini, Oracle, Wipro, IBM, etc. |
Therefore, these features go on to provide more compact comparisons among institutes and can possibly help you decide which institute is worthy. However, it is best to also research more about the prospects each institute shares; and how they are in terms of placement, faculty, etc.
My brother completed his CSE at Thapar University. He was also planning to take a drop initially. But after doing a lot of research and consulting others, he decided to go to Thapar University. It is a prestigious and well-reputed institution.
My brother felt he couldn’t handle the pressure of entrances and preparation any longer. Besides, the placements at Thapar University are at par with other top institutions like PEC and ISM Dhanbad. Even the education system and reputation of Thapar University are good.
According to my brother, if you have the courage and determination, you can take a drop and try for the IITs or BITS Pilani. But as far as Thapar University is concerned, it has a good infrastructure, good facilities, and amazing seniors. It is better than most NITs (barring a few) and also has a strong alumni network. Therefore, you won’t regret joining Thapar University for your CSE.
