SVNIT and Nirma University are both the top-most engineering colleges in Gujarat. But SVNIT, Surat is the better choice among the two if you are planning for IT. The reasons are shared below.

• There is less focus on practical assignments and projects in Nirma University as compared to SVNIT, Surat. The students learn the theories without any application. But in SVNIT, the students get practical exposure beyond coding and framing. There are various programs and activities conducted to keep the students engaged in the growth process.
• NIRMA University is deserted from the main city. On the other hand, SVNIT is in the heart of Surat.
• NIRMA does not offer hostel facilities to undergrads. While SVNIT has good campus facilities. 
• The infrastructure of SVNIT is widespread. It has a well-equipped hostel, library, sports facility, multiple college fests, and extra-curricular, etc. SVNIT focus on the overall development of students.
• You will have better chances of finding Govt. jobs from SVNIT. The course fee is also almost half for SVNIT as compared to NIRMA University. 

Overview:

Both the institutes have excellent placements. But the return on investment which you get in SVNIT is unbeatable.

It entirely depends on your future plan. If you can afford Nirma and don’t have any plan to pursue further studies after B.Tech then go for Nirma University.

However, if you want to pursue higher education, and you have confidence that you can learn on your own, then LD will definitely be a better choice.

LD gives its students a lot of freedom to work on their interests while maintaining their CGPA which plays a huge amount of role in further studies.

The other factor that is crucial is the alumni of the college. LD College alumni network is huge and a lot of notable alumni are based in both India and abroad. When talking about alumni, Nirma stands no chance as LD was established way before Nirma.

Here is a brief comparison of the institutes.

Therefore, you should take your decision thoroughly and wisely whether you must spend approximately eight lakhs for four years or you should spend 6000 for four years with one institution being older than the others along with huge alumni and a great brand name.

CSE at IIIT Vadodara is definitely a better option than CSE at Nirma University.

• Nirma University offers Computer Engineering while IIT Vadodara offers CSE which draws a fine line of difference for the CSE aspirants.
• IIIT Vadodara provides a distinguished course and curriculum. Students in other colleges are exposed only to mainstream engineering subjects. In contrast to them, IIIT Vadodara is parallel to that of IIIT-H, offering core courses from the beginning of the first year itself.
• IIIT-V provides students with an exceptional background in coding which is not likely presented at Nirma. Students take part in competitive coding on sites such as HackerRank, CodeChef, etc. Each year several students get selected for GSoC from IIIT-V.
• The faculty here is highly qualified with most of the professors holding Ph.D. degrees from renowned institutes. They are cooperative and provide proper guidance to the students. Daiict is the mentor institute of IIIT Vadodara. Many faculties pay their visit from Daiict.
• The placement opportunities are decent at IIIT-V. Students get internship opportunities from Atos, TCS, etc.
• In spite of not owning a permanent campus, the facilities provided at IIIT-V are satisfactory. The basic requirements such as proper AC labs and classrooms are fulfilled here.
• IIIT-V is known for conducting regular technical workshops.
• The hostel facilities at IIIT-V are better in comparison to other colleges.
• More importance is given to academics due to which co-curricular activities are few.

The ‘IIIT’ tag has influence therefore opting for IIIT Vadodara would be better than opting for Nirma University.

Nirma University is a good choice for pursuing an ECE program. I think I can give you some insight into the ECE department as I know a few people from the institute. 

• Talking about the ECE department of the college, this department has got very good faculties and you will get ample opportunities to work on various projects with them. 
• You are not supposed to carry hardware kits home but you can use the college’s hardware kits but they have a restricted usage policy. 
• You will get the opportunity to visit various industries for learning purposes during your stay at the college. 
• Some expert faculties who belong to different industries come here to deliver lectures that will be useful for you. 
• The college also has good placement records; companies like Analog devices, Samsung & free scale have visited the campus earlier. 
• The highest package received by the university is 16 LPA while the average package is 8 LPA.

The negative aspects of the college that you will find seniors and students complaining about the college. You will have to ignore them. As you might get fewer facilities, not very great infrastructure and fewer faculties, the college is not as bad.

Nirma University is a highly rated university. It is among the highly preferred universities in the states of Gujarat and Rajasthan. Here is why you should choose Nirma University.

• High-skilled professors.
• Strict attendance system, which is necessary
• There are three exams. A lot of projects and assignments and, overburden of lab work. Overall, you need to work hard every day during your graduation life.
• The placements are good. Here are the recent placement highlights.

CTAE is also a good university but I have friends studying at CTAE and based on what I learned about the institute through them, I can tell you that Nirma is a better choice.

Pursuing MBA in any branch from any of the given colleges will give you the best curriculum and environment to grow and upskill yourself. The placement reports of these colleges are scaling recently. MBA in Finance is one among any of these that would be a great opportunity to grab and K J Somaiya will be a great option.

One of my cousins pursued Finance from K J Somaiya and he told me that good companies come for summer and final placements and offer a good package for finance people.

In terms of fees also K J Somaiya is better compared to other colleges given. You should not miss this chance to apply. Being located in the financial capital, it has an edge over others. TAPMI is good only for IT mainly and location plays a big advantage here.
