Both of these two colleges are tier-1 colleges. You can’t go wrong with either of them. One of my relatives who used to be a student of MANIT Bhopal speaks highly of the institution. According to her, you should prefer MANIT Bhopal to any other institution any day including BIT Mesra too.

Don’t take an educational loan to go to BIT Mesra, if you are getting MANIT Bhopal CSE. You can easily get an income-based scholarship at MANIT Bhopal. 

At MANIT placement percentage as well as the highest package, both are pretty high. At MANIT Bhopal, the placement percentage goes as high as 98% and the highest package offered this year was around 42 LPA. 

Hance, MANIT Bhopal is definitely is a better alternative.

One of my cousins graduated from VTU and having read a few online reviews of the alumni here is some information regarding your question, which might be helpful for you.

If you want admission here, you have to sit for the VITEEE exam. You could also appear for the JEE exams. Make sure you have a 90% in your 10+2 exams. This will be quite better to negotiate for the scholarship.

• 75% scholarship: JEE Main/ VTU exam (above 95% in +2)
• 50% scholarship: JEE Main/ VTU exam ( above 90% in +2)
• 25% scholarship: JEE Main/ VTU exam (below 90% in +2)

Everything is based on how fast you book the seat in the desired department and pay the minimum amount for admission. You can negotiate the fee before joining because later they will not favor your critical situation.

Among the colleges present in the lot, I would advise you to choose NIT Silchar over NIT Agartala. I have a few friends at the institute and I have heard good things about the institute.

Here are a few of the reasons why NIT Silchar is a better alternative. 

1. IIIT Kota and IIIT Kalyani are pretty new and hence these are generally not the first choice.
2. NIT Silchar provides some extraordinary facilities like a supercomputing center and exchange programs with the University of Illinois.
3. For those who are interested in Computer networks, parallel algorithms, etc, and want to pursue their career in these fields, supercomputing provides a very good foundation to get into these fields during the undergraduate coursework.

The above reasons should be enough to choose NIT Silchar. 

I have cousins from both NIT Goa, and Jamia Millia Islamia and as they mention, the latter is famous for its CSE course. Usually, students do not leave the opportunity to go for the CSE course of Jamia Millia Islamia.

• CSE is comparably better than most of the other branches in the educational domain. 
• CSE provides you job opportunities in accordance to what you have been exposed to, academically. 
• On the other hand, ECE is undeniably a good choice of stream. 
• For securing a good job position, you will have to pursue majoring in one of many programming languages or web development projects. 
• This translates to studying for your course and also pursuing something extra for exposure. 
• While CSE students are already part of studying these domains in general. 
• ECE students usually also go for the GATE exam. 
• However, the only upside ECE students enjoy is finding the slightest amount of vacancies in PSU, while CS students are somewhat one step lower than it. 

Apart from these few, it depends upon how hard you work. Be it ECE or CSE, you have to work hard and utilize the time and opportunities you get while studying in college.

As far as computer science is concerned, everyone is very well aware that it is quite a well-reputed branch in engineering. Coincidentally, it is also one of the best branches at Bhartiya Vidyapeeth. Additionally, the fact that it is located in Pune and its role in the IT industry could also play an advantage to you.

However, when it comes to faculty, it is not that great. The teachers are known to be quite uncooperative and a few of them probably don’t have much idea about programming. You will also be disappointed by their teaching.

The course curriculum is definitely updated regularly but you will have to study on your own. There are a lot of advanced topics included in your course which will eventually help you in your placements.

If you are a boy, hostel facilities will only be available for a year for you. For girls, these are available throughout the course. The mess is okay enough with the Wi-Fi facility in the hostel. They also provide you with any medical aid you may need. Libraries are also open up till midnight if you wish to study late.

The college is old and reputed but you will definitely have to take some risks if you wish to attend CS at Bhartiya Vidyapeeth.

BIT Mesra Ranchi CSE branch is considered to be excellent, in terms of placement. There are several reasons supporting the success rate of students from the CSE branch in the industry.

The table below gives a brief overview of the institute.

Key Highlights:

• Considering the placement, a good number of students (almost 50) receive job offers close to 20 LPA in placement. CSE graduates received the highest salary packages.
• BIT Mesra has good records in ICPC, the Olympics of competitive coding. It also has a decent number of students who qualify for Google Summer of Code every year.
• Competitions like “Goldman Sachs We Build”, “Codechef SnackDown”, “SIH (Smart India Hackathons)” also have students from BIT Mesra with a good success rate.
• The ACM club of the institute conducts coding contests every week to improve the coding culture, which is quite well established.
• BIT Mesra has its students all over the world in various institutes and organizations like Google, Microsoft, Facebook, Amazon, etc. There is even an alumnus who won an Oscar for the best animation movie.

These points establish the placement success of the BIT Mesra CSE branch to a good extent. It is considered to be a very good choice for students who have their prime objective of getting a decent job after completing the degree.
