Which is better, BITS Goa CS or Hyderabad CS?

TG
Tridha Gupta Posted On : July 30th, 2022
B.Tech Computer Science, Manipal Institute Of Technology (2021)

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.

Should I take NIT Surat for mechanical engineering or BITS Goa for an MSc in maths?

RS
Riya Siyar Posted On : August 24th, 2021
Studies M.Sc in Mathematics at BITS Pilani, 2021

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,

  1. A dual degree in Mathematics, Physics, and Chemistry is claimed as a part of Science, while others are considered in the case of Engineering. You will learn the theories of science instead of the application of technology.
  2. In Mathematics, you are supposed to learn the series of higher-order and their respective application. While, in Mechanical Engineering, you will learn more deeply about Engines, Boilers, Automobiles, Refrigerator Systems, and much more.
  3. A single degree, like Mechanical Engineering, CSE, EE, Civil Engineering, or Chemical Engineering, can be more advantageous than dual degrees. 
  4. If you opt for a dual degree in Mathematics, you have a higher probability of becoming a mathematician or a professor. But, in case you pursue Mechanical Engineering from NIT Surat, then you bear higher chances of securing a placement offer at top-tier MNCs.
  5. Your choice should always remain ahead of most others. The one piece of advice is that in NIT Surat, you supposedly cannot change your degree from M.Sc to B.Tech following the 1st year and vice versa. 

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.

Which is a better place to study economics, Presidency University, Kolkata or BITS, Goa (or Hyderabad)?

RK
Raj Shekhar Kumar Posted On : June 23rd, 2021
B.Sc Economics & Statistics, Presidency University, Kolkata

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.

I got 350 in the BITSAT & 3606 in the JEE Advanced. I'm sure I will be getting CSE in NIT Trichy under the home state quota. Which one should I choose BITS Goa, Hyderabad, NIT Trichy, IIT Bhubaneshwar

AD
Aakash Dasgupta Posted On : August 14th, 2020
Studied at BITS Pilani Hyderabad Campus (2020)

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.

Which is the best option, BITS Pilani Goa (CSC) or Calicut NIT (CSC)?

SJ
Shanaya Jauhari Posted On : August 20th, 2021
Studied at Indian Institute of Management Shillong (2019)

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 

  • BITS Pilani is a top private engineering university. However the same cannot be said about its Goa campus. 
  • NIT is a brand that is recognized instantly by almost everyone in any part of the country and this gives NIT Calicut a distinct advantage. 
  • As it is a government-run college the learning environment is also better due to the better quality of students. 
  • Companies also prefer NITs over private engineering colleges. You will get better job opportunities at NIT Calicut.
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.

Should I choose IIIT Guwahati for a CSE or BITS Pilani Goa campus for mechanical? I want to go for higher studies after my bachelors degree.

SD
Swathilekha Das Posted On : July 5th, 2021
Studied at NIT Trichy (2019)

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.

  • NIT graduates usually opt for MTech in IITs to grab the mentioned companies. So thereby, there stands no chance to compare BITS with VIT.
  • BITS students are responsible for giving the most reliable startups via RedBus, Swiggy. Microsoft and Google use the innovation of Postman which was a creation by BITS students when they interned at Yahoo. 

To conclude, BITS Goa stands better than all the above options relying on its outcomes. Students from other universities also, will agree with the following facts about BITS Goa.

Which should I opt for: chemical engineering at IIT Gandhinagar or CSE at BITS Goa?

CN
Chetna Nayyar Posted On : February 26th, 2021
Studied Mechanical Engineering at BITS Pilani, K. K. Birla Goa Campus (2020)

The preference is always given to BITS Goa as it belongs to the most reputed family of BITS institute. One of my friends has studied there and he loves the campus from all aspects.

The major reasons as to why BITS Goa is to be preferred are:

Scope

  • CSE has more job opportunities in the market as compared to other branches of engineering. 
  • If you even go for a core organization in the chemical field; the highest package is not more than 6 LPA. 
  • In the case of CSE, if you are into coding a good package can be cracked.
  • The highest package is close to 1.40 crore in BITS Goa. The average also stands at a decent place. 
  • The prominent recruiters are - ADM Argo, Adobe, Bajaj Auto, Capgemini, CGI, Cisco, DE Shaw, EXL Services, Razor Pay, Reliance Jio, Freshworks and Goldman Sachs.

Faculty

  • The computer science faculty cannot be compared with chemical engineering. 
  • CS faculty is amazing having well-equipped knowledge in the field to deal with real competition. They all are efficient in imparting real practical skill set to their students in a proper manner.

Campus

  • Goa is a place people look out for holidays, and having a college in Goa makes it even more fascinating and attractive. 
  • Certain limitations are also imposed on students. You cannot leave the campus before 5 PM and you should return back by 11 PM. 

BITS Goa makes it a better option on all fronts whether its faculty, campus, or scope. Having this outlook will help you get to a good institute. The stream can be a point of interest but other factors also matter.
