BITS Hyderabad CS is a better option. Although BITS Goa is older, the CS program on the Hyderabad campus went through rapid growth in a very short time. The reason can be ascribed to the location advantage. Hyderabad is a cybercity, so it's easier for students to get projects, internships, and placement opportunities.
The 2022 statistics of BITS Hyderabad placements show the average CTC for CS to be around INR 22 LPA. The highest CTC offered for CS, this year was INR 43 LPA. MNCs like Apple, Google, Amazon, Adobe, etc. visit the placement drive of BITS Hyderabad regularly.
There are different viewpoints for the same question. It primarily depends upon what is best for you, and whether or not the course you are willing to take interests you.
One of my friends encountered a similar problem likewise, and addressing the same, here are some points you might want to consider before diving into any conclusion,
You should research the same for BITS Goa and find whether or not the rule is similarly applicable in the institute. This is the basic difference you can find between both institutes.
Presidency University, Kolkata is a better to place to study economics than BITS, Goa, or Hyderabad. Presidency University, Kolkata is well known for its economics department. It also has an excellent subject record.
In the national ranking too Presidency University comes at the top. One of my cousins studies at Presidency University, Kolkata. And he vouches for the Economics degree provided by the institute.
Taking into consideration various factors like fees, faculty, it is safe to say Pracidency University is the better alternative.
But if you are looking for placement after graduation, then joining Presdancyi will not be a good idea. Although their Economics dept. Is well-renowned, they don’t offer placements after graduation. You will have better placement opportunities at BITS Goa.
If you are eligible for all the above-mentioned colleges then BITS Goa and NIT Trichy are two of the best options.
BITS Goa offers Computer Science with a total fee of 14.7 lakhs. Last year, the college scored a placement record of above 90% with the highest CTC of 56 LPA in the CS department. The cut-off last year for CSE was 352 so you may get selected.
BITS Hyderabad offers the same course with a course fee of 15.66 lakhs. The cut-off last year was 342. The IT companies offered an average salary of 14 LPA in last year’s campus placement.
NIT Trichy offers CSE with a course fee of 5.72 lakhs, so there is one advantage of qualifying for an NIT in India. The cut-off rank for JEE Main lies between 280-5317 at this institute. The CSE branch had 100% placement last year with it being the highest recruiting branch for the past 3 years in the college.
IIT Bhubaneswar offers CSE at a fee of 7.91 lakhs, and the JEE Advanced closing cut-off was between 1246-4068. The CSE branch had 100% placement with salaries ranging between 10-35 LPA in 2019 placement.
IIT Dhanbad charges a fee of 8.91 lakhs and the cut-off for JEE Advanced rank lies from 1619-5657. In 2019 campus placement, 90% of CSE students were placed and the maximum salary offered was around 40 LPA.
So after comparing all the colleges, NIT Trichy is the best option.
First of all, I want to clarify that there is no such branch called CSC in either BITS Pilani or NIT Calicut. Both the colleges have Computer Science & Engineering (CSE) degrees
Categories | CSE at BITS Pilani Goa | CSE at NIT Calicut |
Course Fee | 19.19 lakh | 5.42 lakh |
Highest CTC | 24 LPA | 29 LPA |
Average CTC | 11 LPA | 18 LPA |
Recruiting Companies | Google, nVidia, DE Shaw, Arcesium, etc. | Wipro, TCS, Accenture, IBM, etc. |
Hence it is suggested that CSE at NIT Calicut is a much better choice than CSE at BITS Pilani Goa campus.
Having friends in both IIIT Guwahati and BITS Pilani, I can say that colleges are well recognized in India and abroad.
CSE and Mechanical are completely different from each other. CSE definitely has more advantages over Mechanical. It’s worth mentioning that CSE growth has been on a positive incline and will remain so. There is much more demand for CSE than that of Mechanical in today’s world.
Now coming to the second option giving the institute a preference then BITS Pilani is way too ahead of IIIT Guwahati. BITS Pilani has better international outreach than any IIIT so it will be really helpful if you have decided to study abroad for your higher studies.
