I got 362 marks in BITSAT. Which is better, BITS, Pilani electrical or BITS, Goa CS?

AS

Studied Integrated M.Sc Physics & Bachelor of Engineering in Computer Science at BITS Pilani, K. K. Birla Goa

Well, assuming that your 1st preference is CS at Pilani. EEE at Pilani is arguably one of the most difficult branches out there. Based on the conversations I had with my friends from both the BITS campus, here is what I can tell you about the courses.

  • You generally have to compete with the top students on the Campus. Also, the EEE course material is not everyone's cup of tea.
  • The EEE placements are quite good, though not for everyone. There are more high pointers in EEE than in any other branch. Thus good companies prefer to hire from among those.
  • Placements might be better for CS at Goa, though in some other respects you might sell yourself short with this choice.
Parameters&n BITS Goa BITS Pilani
Tuition Fee 3.99 lakhs 4.45 lakhs
Placement Average 94% 95%
Average CTC INR 5 LPA INR 18.05 LPA
Highest CTC INR 1.40 Cr INR 45 LPA

So, if you want an easy life, better go for CS in Goa. Otherwise, choose EEE at Pilani.

Do CSE students really need not study physics, chemistry, and biology as students of IIIT Lucknow keep saying?

AS
Ayushi Sinha Posted On : September 15th, 2022
B.Tech in Information Technology, Indian Institute of Information Technology, Lucknow

To understand the basic of CSE, you need to study science subjects such as Physics, Mathematics, etc. You need basic understanding of these subjects, to handle tough engineering concepts. These subjects also help build logical and conceptual thinking. If you don’t have a basic understanding of these subjects, you will learn to code blindly. This isn’t beneficial in long run. Top technological institutes like IIIT Hyderabad have compulsory science subjects.

What should I choose: NITK CSE or IIIT Hyderabad CSE?

SS
Savi Sharma Posted On : July 28th, 2023

The decision of choosing one between NITK CSE and IIIT Hyderabad CSE depends on what kind of college life you are looking for. To be frank, if you want a dynamic campus life with an equally good but light curriculum, NIT Surathkal is better than IIIT Hyderabad because the matter has a very rigid campus life that focuses entirely on academics. NIT Surathkal will give you a huge baggage of memories, a good job, and some good connections. But IIIT Hyderabad will help you become a person of responsibility whose only focus is building a career. 

NIT Surathkal brings you together with people from all corners of the country which makes the experience better. IIIT Hyderabad on the other hand has only two branches - CSE and ECE. So the former may not make you a very talented CS engineer but will surely develop your personality as a whole.

So the best way to decide is to analyze your inclination, and then make an informed decision.

Is the CSE department in NIT Hamirpur worth it?

YV
Yash Verma Posted On : September 13th, 2023
B.Tech CSE, NIT Hamirpur (2019)

The CSE department at NIT Hamirpur has its own pros and cons. I have listed a few to answer your question 

Pros

  • The CSE department of NIT Hamirpur has some exceptionally good faculty members. Their teaching styles are unique. 
  • The curriculum of this department is one of the best. A few courses are so profound that CS students of this college have an upper hand when talking to other CS grads. 
  • Students are taught diverse courses like AI, Data Mining, Agent-Based Systems, OS, Networks, Advanced Architecture, etc 

Cons

  • The number of faculty members is low and the majority of them are not interested in teaching.
  • Not many CS companies visit the campus for placements and most companies from the IT sector visit.
  • Students aren’t offered any kind of industrial exposure.
  • There aren’t any student projects, and only bookish knowledge is given preference.

However, being a CSE student at NIT Hamirpur is certainly a privilege given the fact that they have the maximum free time and also the best placement record. 

So weigh the pros and cons against your own preferences and make a wise decision.

How much marks are needed for OBC category in JEE (Advance) to get CSE in IIT Delhi?

KS
Kunal Sharma Posted On : April 3rd, 2023
B.Tech. from Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi

Never target a fixed score if you are planning to clear JEE because the level of difficulty of the exam varies every year. The closing rank of an OBC candidate is 340 for the CSE branch at IIT Delhi. So, on a rough estimate, a score of around 230 might get you into CSE as an OBC student. However, you wouldn’t limit your capabilities to your branch but give your best.

Is a CSE degree from Thapar University worth spending 25 lakhs?

KH
Kaushik Halder Posted On : August 10th, 2021
Mechanical Engineering from Thapar University (2019)

A CSE degree from Thapar University doesn’t cost 25 lakhs. I have a friend from the institute who will soon graduate from the institute. He paid approximately 12 lakhs for four years. Hostel fees are not included. Even with annual increases and hostel fees, it will never reach 25 lakhs.

  • CSE from Thapar is worthwhile because they have excellent placements and a welcoming environment. According to the 2020 placement highlights, more than 264 companies visited the placement drive and the highest CTC offered was 43 LPA.
  • Also, there are a number of societies in Thapar where you can learn a variety of non-technical skills such as dance, singing, economics (ECON Club), event management, marketing, and design and various events take place throughout the year. This contributes to an individual's overall development.
  • Apart from what is included in the syllabus, there are societies that cater to technical learning such as CCS, Microsoft Student Chapter (for CS students, anyone with an interest is welcome to join), IEEE, IETE (for ECE students), and many more for all branches.

All these factors make Thapar a good option for pursuing a CSE degree.

What's it like to study Computer Science Engineering at BITS Pilani, Pilani campus?

NB
Nishchay Bhalla Posted On : June 28th, 2023
studied at Birla Institute of Technology and Science, Pilani (2018)

Studying Computer Science Engineering at BITS Pilani is a unique experience in itself. The well-structured curriculum combined with an excellent academic environment will give you an experience of its own kind. Additionally, the qualified faculty and superior quality of students crowd to add to the overall learning experience.

Let’s consider these factors individually for better understanding.

Curriculum

  • Focuses a lot on theoretical knowledge in courses like OOP, Logic in CS, Database Systems, and DSA.
  • The curriculum needs to get updated since it still lacks languages like SML, Haskell, and Javascript.
  • Discrete Math is extensive making it beneficial for Math + CS students.

Academic Environment 

  • The semesters have a number of courses and the workload is high.
  • There are too many assignments, quizzes, lab tests, etc which challenge some to become better while demotivating many.
  • Students here are trained to work smarter, not harder
  • BITS Pilani has no such coding culture so you can minimize your expectations in that aspect. 

Peer Group

  • The quality of the peer group is what makes life at BITS vibrant and dynamic.
  • Students with diverse backgrounds, interests, and talents study in one room enhancing the experience.
  • The own common factor that brings the peer pool together is the interest in problem-solving, interest in programming, logical thinking, and commitment to stay up late and work. 
  • There is tough competition among the students thus challenging the students to work hard.

Faculty

  • The faculty is approachable if you want to clear some doubts
  • A few faculty members might be a bit straightforward 

Overall, BITS Pilani CSE will be an excellent experience.
