What should I choose, a dual degree MSc program in BITS Hyderabad or some branch in NIT Raipur, or CSE in NIT Puducherry?

SG

Choose BITS Hyderabad over NIT Raipur or NIT Puducherry. Here are some of the reasons for choosing this institute:

  • They offer a beautiful campus with an enthusiastic student crowd.
  • BITS Hyderabad has updated modern machinery and lab facilities.
  • The placements definitely differ between the BITS and NITs.
  • NIT Raipur is very old-fashioned in its approach towards studying and learning.
  • Their faculties teaching method is old and prefers their students mugging up notes rather than learning and understanding something.
  • BITS, unlike NIT Raipur, their teaching method is industry-oriented.

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.

I will get NIT Raipur, Puducherry, Meghalaya, Mizoram, Manipur, Arunachal Pradesh, Srinagar and Sikkim. Which one should I join?

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.

Which should I choose, College of Engineering (Guindy) or NIT Puducherry?

BR
Bhoomika Ranjan, Posted On : October 25th, 2021

NIT Puducherry is very new compared to College of Engineering Guindy (CEG). Let me share some points which might help you decide.

  • CEG is very old and experienced as an educational institution. It has well-established CSE and ECE departments with exceptional and updated lab facilities.
  • The syllabus is more or less similar in both colleges.
  • CEG has a more competitive student crowd which eventually helps students to boost their morale. 
  • Due to its years of educational experience, CEG definitely has a better placement record than NIT Puducherry.
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.

Which would be better, VIT CSE or NIT Puducherry electrical engineering?

AC
Aniket Chatterjee Posted On : October 1st, 2021
B.Tech Computer Science, National Institute of Technology, Puducherry (2020)

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.

Which is better for CSE, NIT Patna, NIT Puducherry or NIT Andhra Pradesh?

RT
Raktim Tarafdar Posted On : August 29th, 2023

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. 

  • In terms of placements, the preference order should be NIT Patna > NIT Puducherry > NIT AP. 

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. 

  • In terms of campus life and location, NIT Puducherry > NIT Patna> NIT AP. 

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.

Which is better for CSE, NIT Puducherry or IIITDM Kancheepuram?

VT
Vedansh Taneja Posted On : October 6th, 2021
Studied B.Tech CSE from Indian Institute of Information Technology, Design and Manufacturing, Kancheepuram

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.

Is JNTU-H better than NIT puducherry?

SG
Shreyansh Gupta Posted On : October 6th, 2021
Studies at Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University (2023)

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.

What should be my preference between CSE at IIIT Guwahati and EEE at NIT Patna/Puducherry?

DV
Dishant Verma Posted On : June 18th, 2021
B.Tech Computer Science Engineering, Indian Institute of Information Technology, Guwahati (2022)

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.

  • The campus of NIT Puducherry is almost 130 km away from the city, located in a remote place known as Karaikal. This hampers placements.
  • In NIT Puducherry, 90-95% of students are from South India. So, students from other parts of the country face a serious linguistic problem.
  • For most North Indian Students, it is somewhat hard to sustain in the South Indian culture.
  • IIIT Guwahati has experienced rapid growth over the last few years, which makes it a much better choice than NIT Patna/ Puducherry.
  • There is no home state quota in IIIT Guwahati, so there is no such problem of linguistics as in NITs.
  • In addition, there are 18 students in IIIT Guwahati who are from abroad, selected through the DASA UG scheme of 18 seats.
  • From 2019, the B.Tech seats were increased by 33% for Girl Supernumerary Quota, because the previous batch had only 3.5% girls. The total number of seats from then is 233.

Categories

NIT Puducherry is really a nice institute. Let’s see some facts about it :

  • The campus is huge, covering 256 acres, with a sea nearby that provides a cool wind 24 hours a day, and the temperature is pleasant.
  • Because it is a new institution located outside of town, the atmosphere is serene and quiet, providing a conducive learning environment, free of all forms of politics.
  • It is completely free of ragging, and the seniors are really kind and helpful.
  • The sunrise and sunset views of the institution and its surrounding environs are spectacular.
  • The infrastructure is fantastic, with a four-storey hostel for guys and a two-storey hostel for girls (girls).
  • Mess food is really good and tasty.
  • The wifi at the campus has high-speed internet. LAN is also being set up

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.
