Choose BITS Hyderabad over NIT Raipur or NIT Puducherry. Here are some of the reasons for choosing this institute:
You might think that going for a dual degree is better as IT companies only prefer CSE graduates. But nowadays this notion has changed as with big data and analytics creating a boom, more and more such companies visiting campuses and hiring people from all branches.
Therefore it is suggested that you go for BITS Hyderabad, where you will grow and learn in a much more competitive environment. Your vision will be broadened.
The answer to this question depends on your personal preferences and expectations from your college-to-be.
If you prioritize infrastructure, NIT Srinagar has one of the most beautiful campuses among all the NITs. On the other hand, NIT Puducherry has a better faculty than all your other options.
Placement-wise, NIT Raipur has the best record among these colleges. However, the infrastructure and faculty of NIT Raipur are below average. But it is a good college for its sports facilities and senior-junior connections. There aren't any cases of ragging on its campus. Also, it offers better connectivity than the other NITs you’ve mentioned.
As for the northeastern NITs that you have mentioned, most people don’t choose them. This is because of lesser connectivity and a lack of overall facilities at them. Their placements aren’t at par with the other NITs. Also, you’ll experience totally different weather and culture over there. So you might face difficulties in adjusting.
Now the choice will also depend upon the branch you are offered at NIT Raipur, NIT Srinagar, and NIT Puducherry. If say, you are offered Biotech or Biomed at NIT Raipur and Civil at NIT Srinagar, without a doubt, go for the second option. Biotech and Biomed at NIT Raipur aren’t good choices.
NIT Puducherry is very new compared to College of Engineering Guindy (CEG). Let me share some points which might help you decide.
Categories | CEG | NIT Puducherry |
Course Fee | 2 lakh | 5.49 lakh |
Placement Percentage | 80% | 65% |
Highest CTC | 22 LPA | 15 LPA |
Average CTC | 7.5 LPA | 4 LPA |
Recruiting Companies | TCS, HP, Cognizant, Dell, etc. | L&T, EY, JP Morgan, TCS, etc. |
It is recommended that you go for CEG if you have to choose between these two. But if your choice only is NIT Puducherry then you can opt for it. It is a good college but as it started functioning recently, it is better to go for an experienced one.
VIT CSE is better in terms of placements, industry exposure, opportunities, and many other things as compared to NIT Puducherry Electrical. According to the recent placement highlights of VIT, the average CTC offered was 6 LPA and the highest CTC offered was 75 LPA.
On the other hand, NIT Puducherry is a Govt. college. It changes less course fee. For a B.E degree, NIT Puducherry charges around 2.17 lakhs, while a B.Tech from VIT will cost around 8 lakhs. The peer group at the institute is great. You will also have the NIT tag with your degree. That is certainly a perk of pursuing a degree at NIT Puducherry.
However, you should choose the institute based on your interest. If you like coding go for VIT CSE, or if you like basic sciences more than NIT Puducherry Electrical Engineering will be a better option for you.
Since you did not specify the criteria, I will be comparing the aforementioned institutes on the basis of 2 main criteria placements and campus life.
NIT Patna has a well-maintained campus and enjoys a good reputation being one of the oldest engineering colleges in India. However, the academic rigor is poor and the professors aren't interested in teaching. Moreover, it suffers a lot because of its location in Bihar one of the most underdeveloped cities in India.
NIT Puducherry has the best location among these institutes. It is located near the sea beach and students get to enjoy the picturesque view of The Bay of Bengal.
NIT Andhra Pradesh should be your last priority because it has many major cons like lack of campus, ragging, and poor placement scenario.
The CSE department is a great department to study in VIT. Students are open to a lot of facilities and learning resources. The teaching staff is helpful as well.
So, choosing VIT for your CSE degree will definitely be worth it.
NIT Puducherry has recently shifted to its permanent campus, although IIITDM’s campus seems better. As for the faculty, again IIITDM has an upper hand but you will have to figure out an approach towards them.
Both the institutes have a fairly comprehensive and challenging curriculum for their students. They are both good placement wise but if you have more than 7.5 CGPA you will be allowed to sit for all the companies in IIITDM. You can see which suits best to your requirements.
One of my friends studied in JNTU Hyderabad and she says that the college is very good when it comes to studies and placement.
It gives you great opportunities to build your career and thrive in it. The subject knowledge is crucial and is given great importance there. The curriculum is also very structured and helps students with the approach to study. Many MNCs participate in the placement drive. In the NIRF Ranking 2021, JNTU has ranked 62 along with other NITs. It will be unfair to compare two very different entities but you can choose based on your requirement.
According to my friends at IIIT Guwahati, CSE at IIIT Guwahati is definitely a better choice. Let me provide some points which will give you a better insight into the colleges.
Categories |
CSE at IIIT Guwahati |
Course Fee |
9.05 lakh |
Highest CTC |
21 LPA |
Average CTC |
10-12 LPA |
Recruiting Companies |
Capgemini, Wipro, Accenture, IBM, etc. |
Therefore, IIIT Guwahati has a lot of advantages over NIT Patna/ Puducherry, which makes it a better choice for students in engineering.
NIT Puducherry is really a nice institute. Let’s see some facts about it :
You might not get good placement offers as the institute is currently in a development phase. But it is still improving each year. Another issue with the institute is that you will be required to submit a lot of assignments in a term. Overall, you will enjoy your time at NIT Puducherry.
