How different is CS treated than IT in UIT RGPV?
Some of my friends studied at UIT RGPV. According to them, there is not much difference because the syllabus of both branches is pretty similar. Only a few subjects are different. Here I will be providing some facts which might give you a clear picture.
- A CS degree isn't required for an IT professional, but it can open doors that might otherwise be closed to you.
- IT workers usually work in a business environment, setting up internal networks and computer systems, as well as programming.
- Computer Scientists operate in a variety of settings, including enterprises, universities, and video game design studios.
- Both of these professions have strong growth potential and pay, with software developers earning slightly more than IT specialists.
- While IT and CS degrees might lead to comparable employment, there are significant differences between the two.
- Computer technicians love installing computers, operating software, and managing networks and databases.
- Computer scientists appreciate mathematics and program creation.
In general, information technology and computer science have a close and intertwined relationship.
Which is better: an IT at the IIIT Allahabad, CSE at NIT Rourkela or CSE at MANIT Bhopal?
One of my friends told me that these three institutes must be in this order like; IIIT A>>> NIT Bhopal>= NIT Rourkela. Although he was a student of NIT Rourkela.
He stated that between these three, Rourkela and Bhopal are more or less equal. However, both of these institutes consist of some advantages and disadvantages as well.
If NIT Bhopal is considered and compared with NIT Rourkela, then it must be said that NIT Bhopal's strength is a large batch size; IT+CSE. But the main advantage of NIT Bhopal is the location and nearby airport transport facilities that conceal all the advantages of this institute. For this reason, NIT Bhopal experiences big recruiters every year, and NIT Rourkela misses this entirely. This is the reason why NIT Bhopal is one step ahead of NIT Rourkela.

However, at NIT Rourkela, M.Tech in Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) is almost similar to doing M.Tech in IITs. But in the case of Bhopal, the students can sit for placements for all the big companies in the campus recruitment process along with B.Tech companies. It will be better to avoid IIIT Allahabad for doing M.Tech in CSE, as placement opportunities in this institute are not good. This thing is that IIIT Allahabad does not allow M.Tech students to attend for placement in the on-campus recruitment process.
Thus, it can be stated that for the B.Tech course, IIIT Allahabad>> NIT Bhopal> NIT Rourkela.
Should I choose NIT Trichy for CSE or IIT Roorkee for metallurgy? Why?
My brother was in the CSE branch of NIT Trichy and based on his experience, here are a few pointers:
- The professors are extremely learned and experienced and impart quality education
- The relative grading system establishes peer pressure, and as a result, there is tough competition among the students
- IIT Roorkee is well known for its rich coding culture that is promoted by student-driven and institute funded clubs. These clubs give you additional knowledge on web designing, App development, and game development that might be useful later in
- The CSE department is one of the most coveted branches, and being a part of one will inculcate a sense of privilege.
- The hostel and campus life is decent with all necessary amenities.
- A total of 5 fests are held throughout the year and are totally funded and organized by the institute. The institute is located in an area that helps you explore nearby tourist spots like Pondicherry and Ooty.
You won’t ever regret choosing NIT CSE.
How is NMIMS (Mumbai campus) for a BTech?
Having friends at NMIMS and also being a student there, I can mention it is a well-reputed engineering college. Popular for its faculty, NMIMS will certainly be a good choice for your career. Many professors have completed their PhDs and the HOD itself is an IITian.
There are certain things that make NMIMS stand out -
- The infrastructure is very good. All the necessary facilities available and the classrooms and laboratories are well equipped.
- The course curriculum is very good too and it gets updated regularly unlike Mumbai University.
- The Curriculum keeps on updating, maintaining industry standards and demands.
- NBA has also given accreditation to this college in B.Tech course which is very promising.

You will get amazing college infrastructure and nice academics with good placements in core companies.
Which is a better option for EEE, NIT Trichy, or BITS Goa?
You will find that both NIT TRICHY and BITS Goa are excellent colleges for EEE, and they can be rated on par based on the following parameters:
- Teaching quality
- Infrastructure
- Labs
- Campus Interviews
- Academic Rigour
- Hostels
- Technical and Cultural Festivals
- Campus Life
- Peer groups
- Mess food
If you have a financial constraint, you may find it beneficial to join NIT TRICHY since their fees are less than half of BITS.
Alternatively, if you value having a flexible timetable where you get to choose your own professors, or if you prefer the concept of zero attendance policy, BITS may be a better fit for you.
Keep in mind that BITS does not have a reservation policy for SC/ST/OBC.
What is the placement, package of Thapar University in CSE?

Thus, the placement figures for the CSE branch at Thapar University are quite impressive.
How is CSE at NIT Rourkela?
CSE at NIT Rourkela isn’t a very good option given that its curriculum is outdated and the pedagogy adopted to deliver modern concepts is very obsolete. Most of the foundation courses are taught like Maths which only cover the theoretical aspect of CSE. For the practical perspective involving implementing and developing new things, you will have to resort to self-study.
The faculty is very cooperative and assists you with innovative ideas and guides you in their respective fields. One of my friends and his batchmates set up a cluster to share large computations over a network and received enough guidance from the professors. However, as for the implantation details, they had to go the extra mile and figure out that stuff themselves.
In general, students who are keen to transform their rhetorical knowledge of computers into practical ones have to resort to self-study. So, the opportunities offered at NIT Rourkela CS are plenty if you make the right use of them.
How is metallurgy at NIT Jamshedpur?
Every year this dilemma strikes most of the students whether to opt for a good NIT but not the branch of choice or branch of choice at any NIT. What you should know is apart from the top five NITs, all the other NITs are equivalent. Therefore, go for the branch of your choice.
Now, answering that question that has been asked:
- Academics: The faculty of the metallurgy department at NIT Jamshedpur is good. They provide a good amount of and appropriate content for the courses. There is not much pressure on large assignments. You can take out time for other interests that you have apart from engineering.
- Placement: NIT Jamshedpur provides ample opportunities. Companies like Tata Steel and Vedanta Steel are the leading recruiting companies from the metallurgy department. You will also get a lot of opportunities in the non-core sector. Groffers, ZS Associates, Future First also recruit.
Looking at the placements, the Metallurgy department at NIT Jamshedpur has been better when compared to other NITs.
You can go for metallurgy at NIT Jamshedpur but, I will also suggest you give more preference to the branch of your choice.
Which is better for CSE? (IIT Roorkee vs BITS Pilani vs IIT BHU vs IIIT Hyderabad)?
All the aforementioned colleges have well-established CSE departments and are good choices for engineering aspirants. However, personally, I feel IITs are always a safe choice given their low fees and big alumni pool.
IITs attract the best minds from across the country and the opportunities provided are much better than other colleges. BITS Pilani, although a great choice can be a problem for those with financial constraints given its high fees. IIIT Hyderabad has it all from excellent academics to top-notch placements but does not have a very happening college life.
The table below gives the average packages of these institutes for a general analysis.

IIT Roorkee |
INR 18.34 LPA |
