Your chances of growth get lowered at Reva University. If you have a good rank, consider other colleges.

• The university has invested a lot in marketing and that is why there’s hype outside. 
• Opt for colleges that have a lot of clubs and committees and focus gives importance to cultural activities as well. REVA University lacks this. This will not only develop your personality but also improves your CV.
• It is a deemed university and the curriculum is not much updated. You will get less opportunities at the university
• The student crowd is not good, and the people of the college are not cooperative at all.

If you take admission here, you will regret your decision for sure. This is coming after all the frustration of the students due to lack of exposure, and the education it failed to provide. 

Lucknow University is renowned to offer a bunch of different courses, within which B.Tech is a freshly inaugurated branch that started anew in the year 2017. 

• Since it is extremely new in cases alike, the placements are not highly fruitful at present. In light of this fact, there is currently no alumni network as well. 
• Unlike many other universities, you are expected to work harder than anticipated, so as to grab a position in the job sector.
• Your career essentially depends upon how ready you are to prepare in the best way possible. 
• No amount of external guidance can assist you in gaining a fruitful career prospect, let alone the university. Prepare thoroughly while pursuing any course you are inclined towards. 
• You can also choose to prepare for either of the major competitive exams, GATE, CAT, IES among others.

Moreover, only choose Lucknow University if you are devoid of any options. Other than that, there is absolutely no issue in joining Lucknow University. 

Electrical Engineering is better to go for BIT Meresa whereas for everything else it is better to go for Thapar. 

• The quality of students will be much better in Thapar. 
• CSE has high cutoffs ranging from 190–210 JEE score and Mechanical and ECE also has students having around 170–175. 
• Whereas, in BITS, there will be many people who enter because they have a good board percentage, not a good JEE score. 
• For CSE and Mechanical, it has to be Thapar above BITS while for ECE and Electrical, BITS would be better. 
• Campus life and fests of Thapar are better as I have heard BITS has bad administration. 
• Thapar has increased its seats which has seen a fall in cutoffs of recent batches. The total batch strength is now around 1700. 
• The university has improved the existing labs and new labs have been created recently to get accreditations like ABET etc. 

Check the following table for a brief insight into statistics for both institutions:

The administration at Thapar University believes that the fall in the quality of students can be compensated by the improvement in these parameters resulting in an overall rise in rankings. 

No, the administration is not particularly the best at Sikkim Manipal University. I know a few people from the institute and here is what they had to say about the institute. 

• There is a huge locational disadvantage of the university, given the constant issues faced by students. Recently, they have installed an ATM machine.
• The mess of the institute is not in its best condition. It is run by local people. They do not especially get concerned about the complaints students usually submit. The quality of food is not good even though they take exorbitant amounts of money for the food.
• The administration doesn’t take the necessary steps to resolve the issues raised by students.
• According to one of my friends from the CSE department they were not allowed to take industrial training from other companies.
• The professors are not gonna invest much of their time in your project. However, your project may get rejected for silly mistakes.
• Recently, in terms of placement, TCS rejected SMIT, while Amazon only hired students as their interns. The placement scenario is not good. 

This is everything that you should be aware of before enlisting at Sikkim Manipal University. 

Pursuing a course at Jadavpur University is quite affordable, as opposed to other universities. It is incredible to believe that a university that ranks among the top 15 engineering colleges of India, costs less than most universities around the nation. 

Here is a brief highlight of different fees in JU. 

• Tuition fees: Rs. 2400 per year
• Refundable Caution Deposit: Rs 2500 (One time)
• Hostel fees: Rs. 1000 per month (It includes different kinds of vegetarian and non-vegetarian meals as well)
• Examination fees: Rs. 60 to Rs. 70 per semester
• Library Fine (if a book is submitted late): 6 Paisa per day for some books and 50 Paisa per day for others.

This was the typical fee structure followed a few years back. Recently, there can be a 5% - 10% increment regarding the same. As per the recent update, the 1st year course fee for B.Tech at JU is 2,400. You can evaluate the expenditure to be around 1 lakh for the entire B.Tech course, incorporating the tuition fees, study materials, hostel fees, mess fees, alongside other miscellaneous expenses.

On the other hand, JU has a great placement record. A typical student from the CSE department can receive an average salary package of about INR 19 LPA, while it is INR 8 LPA for departments of ECE, EEE, and IT. Lastly, the average salary package is INR 6 LPA for departments concerning Mechanical, Civil, Chemical, Metallurgy, Construction, and Production.

A lot of my friends studied at NIT Calicut. According to them the best branch for B.Tech at NIT Calicut would be Computer Science and Engineering. There are some reasons as to why they selected CSE. 

• You will get the best job opportunities in your final year. 
• Many popular companies visit the campus during the placement program. 
• No other branch can compete with the variety of job opportunities available on-campus for CSE.
• The department's faculty is really good. 
• They are well experienced in their particular fields and are very helpful.
• The branch has a reputation for being easy on oneself over the course of four years, whereas many are extremely difficult to deal with. 
• However, this does not imply a reduction in the rigor of the course or the quality of education provided.

Also if you opt for CSE you will have the upper hand in learning coding unlike other departments, where to learn proper coding they have to take up additional classes. CSE is considered to be the most sorted out course both theoretically and practically.

The college hours are mostly 8 am to 5 pm. But the timing depends on the schedule of the batch. The new batches have some additional subjects which are held and these often go up till 6 or 7 pm. The batches with electives may be held after 5 pm.

You will get an hour or two for lunch breaks in between when classes run till late. But this schedule is not regular as some days, the classes may be from 8 am-1 pm or 10 am-3 pm, thus it all depends on their class schedule. If the student needs to go out of campus, they must report back to the campus before 7 pm.
