Which is better, VIT CS or NIT Surathkal CS?

RT
Raktim Tarafdar Posted On : September 14th, 2023

Even though I am a CSE student at VIT Vellore, I would like to point out some weaknesses of my institution-

  1. The annual intake for all the branches, all four categories, is quite high at VIT Vellore. It is close to 5000 students each year. In the CSE branch alone, close to 1300 students are admitted annually (including Bioinformatics).
  2. Placements seem very high, but in reality, large scale mass recruitments by IT firms like Cognizant, TCS, Wipro, Infosys, Accenture, etc. inflate the placement figures. 
  3. The course fee at VIT is comparatively higher. It is around 1.95 Lakhs per year. This too if you are a category 1 (merit) student. Around 1 Lakh per year is added if you belong to the other three categories. 
  4. Advanced Placement Training sessions have been introduced for students. But these sessions aren’t really helpful in practicality. In fact 6 hours of each weekend is spent in these sessions. 
  5. Those with a good CGPA get good hostel rooms in good blocks. Those who fail to score high grades are given older blocks.
  6. The hostel rules are strict. This is especially true when you have to get a leave sanctioned from your faculty advisor or proctor.

NIT Surathkal, on the other hand, is a government college. It has an intake of around 800 students in all the branches, with 120 students in CSE. The institution offers top notch placements. There are no mass hirings. The course fee falls between 1.38 to 1.57 Lakhs per year. College rules are much more flexible.

Thus, based on these observations, I would suggest you take admissions in NIT Surathkal for your CSE program.

Which is better VIT or NIT Raipur for CSE?

MA
Mukund Agarwal Posted On : April 8th, 2021
Studied at NIT, Raipur (2019)

According to a senior of mine who has graduated from NIT Raipur, the institute is better than most top colleges in Bangalore including VIT institutes.

Despite having a soft spot for NIT Raipur, she does not discourage candidates from trying their luck at any other university, including VITs. She, however, suggests that they should get acquainted for measuring progress after completion of the undergraduate degree.

Campus:

  • VIT campus is definitely better than the NIT Raipur campus. Although the NIT Raipur has been considerably renovated. 
  • The VIT campus will cost around 2 lakhs per year which includes hostel fees as well. Education at NIT Raipur will cost around 0.5 lakhs.

Course:

  • The course of VIT will not have any effect on your CSE placement. 
  • On the other hand, your coding skills and DS+Algo will have a part to play in your placement. Either way, the effort is required regardless of how much you pay.

Placements:

  • By the time you graduate, if you choose NIT Raipur, that is, the institute will pretty much be holding its own among other giants. My senior said two of her batchmates landed a 75 LPA package without paying hefty college fees.
  • VIT, being a private college, is known to boost their placement records. In addition to that, they have a management quota as well which goes on to say that not all the best minds will be found there.
  • A friend of my seniors had a good rank and went to VIT. He got chosen in three companies. VIT attracts employers in large numbers but they offer packages of only around 3-3.5 LPA.

In the case of NIT Raipur, almost every candidate will get at least one job, in recent years many also bagged two jobs. The ones who have, get a package of 4-8 LPA for the first job, and a package of as much as 16-17 LPA for the second job. Candidates who do not get a second job also land a job with a package of 4-8 LPA. 

Overall, it is safe to say that CSE from NIT Raipur will be a good option.

What is better: EEE at BITS Hyderabad or CS at VIT Vellore?

Sapna Malik updated Posted On : December 22nd, 2023

As a former EEE student at BITS Goa, I would not recommend taking up EEE at BITS Hyderabad if you want a career in the field of software engineering. 

Here are the reasons why-

  1. The coding involved in EEE is not enough. You’ll code in MATLAB, which is rarely used in the IT sector. You’ll have to devote extra time to learning Python, Java, and other languages. 
  2. CS involves much more than coding, all of which you’ll miss out on.
  3. Elective courses like OS, DSA, Comp Arch have very limited seats, and not everyone gets to pick them. Also, you’ll get these courses by your third or fourth year. By then you’ll either be under too much pressure to complete your main syllabus or it’ll be too late because the placement season will have begun.
  4. Top IT companies don’t open for non CS candidates, and even for the companies that do, you’ll have to compete with CS students.
  5. BITS will give you all the necessary exposure, quality education and opportunities. However, as a non IT student you’ll still find difficulty in getting an IT job via campus placements.

Based on all these points, I would recommend choosing CSE at VIT for better job prospects in the IT sector.

HP
Harshu Patel Posted On : December 3rd, 2022
Studied at Amrita University

In terms of academics, Amrita University matches the IIT syllabus and course structure. The infrastructure and laboratories are in good condition. The college works closely with businesses and other educational institutions. Many academic activities are being carried out to ensure effective information exchange.

College life is the most interesting part. Amrita University's Coimbatore campus is one of the cleanest in India and spans 500 acres. Amrita is a very diverse campus and a great place to make new friends. There is no such constraint. Cell phones are not permitted in the classroom. However, after leaving the classroom, you can talk to your loved ones. A minimum attendance requirement of 80% must be met, or you must present sufficient justification for your absence. 

Amrita provides free wifi that is typically 0.5Mbps fast. Aside from YouTube, Facebook, and a few other sites, most academic content is available. Everything else is restricted. Only nutritious vegetarian food is served. The menu is adequate for a South Indian restaurant. If you are a traveler, you will have enough vacation time in Amrita to visit all of India in two years. The resident warden must grant permission for the outing. Every time a girl needs an outing pass, she must submit a fax from her parents. You can earn millions if you plan on participating in and winning every cultural event that is held there. It is an excellent world-class platform for showcasing and honing your skills.

This academic year, Atlassian is the employer with the highest salary on offer to Amrita students, with a staggering 52 lakhs offered annually. Microsoft offered 43 lakhs per year in salary, while Cisco hired 27 students at a CTC of 29.18 lakhs per year.

According to the most recent report, the highest and average compensation packages offered during the 2022 placement drive were INR 19.17 LPA and INR 6.72 LPA, respectively. Furthermore, in 2022, 93 recruiters participated in the placement process, placing 261 students in new-age job profiles. Accenture, Adobe, Infosys, EY, KPMG, and others were among Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham's top recruiters in 2022.

If you compare NIT Raipur and VIT Chennai, then NIT Raipur is much better than VIT. In the given table you will get the basic information of NIT Raipur and VIT Chennai.

Here are few reasons why NIT Raipur is a better option.

  1. Government College: NIT Raipur is a government college, and VIT Chennai is a private college. Hence the fees will be less.
  2. Fees: NIT Raipur hostel and tuition fees are lower than VIT. 
  3. Placement: I have one of my relatives studying in VIT Chennai. The placement cell of VIT is not better than NIT. The placement of the NIT Raipur core branch is good. 
  4. Salary Packages: Students at NIT Raipur have been offered the highest salary of 11.30 LPA while for VIT Chennai, 39 LPA was the highest.
  5. Infrastructure: The infrastructure of NIT is not as good as VIT. But the college is located in the city center and is rapidly developing. However, NIT does not have a good laboratory facility, if you are choosing Biotechnology or Biomedical Engineering. VIT has a better laboratory facility.
  6. Attendance: NIT Raipur is off on weekends. Also, NIT does not have a struct 75% attendee rule, which gives students time to relax and enjoy their college life.

Therefore, if you are choosing between NIT Raipur and VIT Chennai, then choose the former. The placement of NIT Raipur is also good.

Is CSE better in NIT Calicut or VIT?

AR
Arnav Roy Posted On : August 21st, 2023
Lives in Kolkata, West Bengal, India

I have friends in both institutes, NIT Calicut and VIT Vellore. Based on their experiences, NIT Calicut is a much better choice. Although the institute does not have many permanent faculty and the faculty pool comprises only temporary and assistant professors. However, the other pros overshadow this flaw and make NIT Calicut a preferable choice to VIT.

  • There are very minimal restrictions imposed on the students. Only the first-year students have to follow the 7 pm curfew rule, not the second year everyone is free.
  • NIT Calicut has well-equipped and designed computer labs with modern instruments. The BTech CSE students get to use high-tech software systems labs.
  • As for the placements anyone who is talented and has the skills can get placed with excellent packages. 
  • NIT Calicut is the best South Indian NIT in terms of food quality and taste.
  • NIT Calicut fees are much lower than VIT because the former is a government college while the latter is a private college. So BIT Calicut offers a better ROI.
  • NIT Calicut organizes some of the best fests in South India. These are Tathva, the Technical fest, and Ragam, the Cultural fest. 

Both the colleges will offer great opportunities so the final decision will depend on your personal preferences
