First of all, both the branches differ a lot from each other. Thus, you need to understand which branch you are inclined to. Also, keep in mind that you can change your field from ECE to CSE but not vice versa. So, choosing CSE can get you an advantage in many ways. My friend is currently studying CSE in MSIT and here’s what his experience says.
Dedicated faculty: Most teachers are well experienced and really enjoy what they teach you. If you have even smallest of the doubts, do not hesitate as they will assist you whenever you need them. Especially in the CSE department, teachers are really cooperative.
Infrastructure: If you visit both MSIT and MAIT, you will find that MAIT has a tad bit better infrastructure.
Location: MSIT definitely has a location advantage as you can find various hangout spots around the institute and even the nearest metro of Janakpuri East is just 5 minutes away. On the other hand, MAIT lacks proximity to metro and hangout spots.
Placements: While both the colleges have great placements, the CSE branch will get you better packages and increased opportunities, like any other college In India.
According to the recent placement data the highest and average CTC offered at MSIT is 47 LPA and 3.6 LPA. For MAIT the average and highest CTC is 3 LPA and 28 LPA.
All in all, both MAIT and MSIT are reputed private colleges of Delhi. The biggest thing that makes the difference here is the branch you choose. No doubt CSE has an upper hand over ECE as mentioned above.
Bhartiya Vidyapeeth University, Pune is certainly a good institute.
Getting good placement also depends a lot on your efforts. The campus is green and beautiful.
One of my cousins is an ECE graduate of BVCOE (IPU). Here are her two cents about the placement at the institute.
Thus, if you have scored 70% or above with no backlog history, then the chances of you obtaining a job in any IT company are good. In addition, if you are good with programming, then your chances of getting placed in top IT companies will considerably be more.
The Department of Aerospace was started in Karunya University with the primary objective to produce aerospace engineers for meeting the ever-growing demand for engineers for serving the sectors that are civil aeronautical and defense-oriented. At the same time, the department also aims to employ part of its staff in the expansion of space R&D as the demand for space applications in communication, strategic applications, remote sensing, etc is increasing.
The technologists and entrepreneurs of Karunya University are in much demand by the aircraft design and manufacture as there is still a lack of a viable civilian aircraft and industry sector in the country. A large part of the business still goes out to foreign launch operations despite the presence of large communication satellites that are launched into synchronous orbits.
The experimental facilities at Karunya University have been set up not only to teach but also to evolve as tools of research and consultancy. The specifications of the facilities have been laid out with their eventual research application. You will have to perform testing and generation of data for real-life applications in aircraft, spacecraft, and rockets as opposed to cases that are idealized in the UG curriculum.
IIEST Shibpur is one of the oldest engineering colleges in India. As it is one of the most wanted engineering colleges, the closing rank for IIEST is expected to be quite steep.
For B.Tech Information Technology, the recent cutoff for outside and home state students at IIEST were as follows.
This is for the general category students. So, there’s a thin chance that you will get admission at IIEST IT.
However, you should not lose hope as the stats may change after every round. For more details regarding cutoff, you can visit their official website.
Having talked to people at NIT Raipur and HBTU Kanpur, I have gathered reasons why students should opt for NIT Raipur instead of HBTU Kanpur for B.Tech.
These are described below -
The table shows a brief overview of the institutions:
Particulars |
NIT Raipur |
HBTU Kanpur |
Median Salary |
Rs. 9.5 lakhs |
Rs. 7.18 lakhs |
Highest Salary |
Rs. 33 lakhs |
Rs. 60 lakhs |
Entrance Criteria |
JEE Mains |
JEE Mains |
Fees |
Rs. 5.52 lakhs |
Rs. 5.17 lakhs |
Overall, NIT Raipur is the potential choice for B.Tech rather than HBTU Kanpur. Even students of HBTU also prefer NIT Raipur over their college.
SRM Sonepat is still in its developing phase. You won’t get your money’s worth there. There are only 3 B.Tech batches that have passed out. Most placement offers are either from the marketing sector or business analysts. Just 5% of the students get job offers in core sectors of their specific streams but with a very low package.
So, it will be better if you don’t keep SRM Sonepat as one of your options.
I have few friends at both IIITM Gwalior and IIITDM Jabalpur. Based on the conversation I had with them, I will say IIITM Gwalior is the better option for CSE.
The faculty at IIITM Gwalior is great. Most of the faculty members have Ph.D. The placement record of IIITM Gwalior is also quite impressive.
Here are the recent placement statistics for the institute.
Institute |
IIITDM, Jabalpur |
IIITM, Gwalior |
Average CTC |
INR. 9.9 LPA |
INR. 24.33 LPA |
Highest CTC |
INR. 23 LPA |
INR. 42 LPA |
Recruiting Companies |
Amazon, Microsoft, IBM-ISL, Samsung R&D, Ericsson Global, ThoughtWorks |
Flamingo, Microsoft, CodeSpeedy Technology Private Limited, Amazon |
IIITM Gwalior ranks better than IIITDM Jabalpur on almost all platforms. It also has a better coding culture. You can check the institute ranking on SPOJ to have a better idea about the coding culture on campus.
If you get a chance to join top institutes, do your research and opt for the very best. You will be the one to spend 4 years learning that particular subject. In this case, both IIIT Nagpur and IEM Kolkata are good colleges.
Having known people studying in both IIIT Nagpur and IEM, I can say that IIIT Nagpur was recently established whereas IEM is quite older and has enough experience as an educational institution.
Categories |
CS at IIIT Nagpur |
CS at IEM Kolkata |
Course Fee |
7.65 lakh |
5.83 lakh |
Highest CTC |

Accenture, Capgemini, Infosys, Oracle, etc. |
It all depends upon your choice at last. Otherwise, if you feel and want to go for the IIIT tag it’s completely your choice. In the case of IEM Kolkata as it is well established and has a good report and you can go for it without any second thought.
If you are interested in CSE and have the confidence that you will be able to get IITs/NITs/BITS, you can take a drop year. But this option has its risks. PEC Chandigarh offers branch sliding options. Although the cutoff requirement is high for CSE, it's certainly doable with hard work. This way you won’t have to worry about a drop year.
