Why is everyone advising to choose the NIT over the BITS Pilani (Goa campus also included)? Is the BITS Pilani computer science at least as good as a new generation IIT?

SS
Savi Sharma Posted On : June 28th, 2023

Don't pay heed to the ones advising you to choose NITs over BITS Pilani because no matter how good even the best NIT Trichy is, it can never reach the level of globally recognized BITS Pilani. BITS Pilani is second only to the 5 old IITs and every other technical institute in India comes after it. 

The usual preference order is

IIT Bombay>IIT Delh>IIT Madras>IIT Kanpur>IIT Kharagpur>BITS>IIT Roorkee>IIT Varanasi>IIT Guwahati>NIT Trichy>NIT Surathkal>NIT Warangal

It's very important to evaluate a college's worth and credibility based on relevant factors. Here are a few aspects you should take into consideration while making the decision. 

  • Faculty and Pedagogy
  • Infrastructure
  • Labs
  • Library
  • Academic rigor and facility
  • Placements
  • Student body
  • Fests and clubs
  • Hostel and campus facilities
  • Mess food

Ultimately, it's up to you to prioritize one factor over the other and make a well-formed decision based on the research you have done.

What is the cut off rank to get btech in CSE in MPSTME,NMIMS through NPAT?

AG
Anita Guha Posted On : January 25th, 2022
studied at Mukesh Patel School of Technology Management and Engineering, NMIMS

It entirely depends on the vacancy. There is no such cutoff system. If you can secure a good rank, i.e. within the top 300, then you can go for the CSE branch. Otherwise, it entirely depends on the vacancy. If you get a rank of around 1500-3000, and you want  IT or CE, chances of getting admission are low, as most students choose these courses. However, in the counseling, they give a form in which you can fill out your choice of branch and if there are any vacancies later, you can upgrade your branch.

Which is better for CSE: NIT Trichy or IIT Dhanbad?

SP
Shankar Pandey Posted On : March 29th, 2023
B.Tech Production and Industrial Engineering, National Institute of Technology, Tiruchirappalli (2020)

If you're looking for a top engineering college in India, the National Institute of Technology (NIT) Trichy is a great option to consider, better than IIT Dhanbad. Here are some reasons why:

  • CS and other branches: NIT Trichy is known for its strong programs in computer science (CS) and other engineering branches. This means you can expect a high quality of education in these fields.
  • Excellent placements: NIT Trichy has a great track record when it comes to placements. This means that many students who graduate from NIT Trichy can secure well-paying jobs in top companies.
  • World-class infrastructure: NIT Trichy has invested in top-notch infrastructure to support student learning. This includes modern classrooms, well-equipped labs, and other facilities.
  • Experienced teachers: The faculty at NIT Trichy are highly experienced and knowledgeable. They are committed to providing students with a high-quality education and helping them succeed.
  • The best environment for teaching and learning: NIT Trichy offers a supportive and collaborative learning environment, which can be beneficial for student success. Additionally, the college offers a range of extracurricular activities and student clubs to help students develop new skills and interests.

It's worth noting that while a college's reputation can be important, it's not the only factor to consider when choosing a college. It's important to also consider your own needs and preferences, such as location, campus culture, and program offerings. However, if you're looking for a strong engineering program with a good track record of placements and top-notch facilities, NIT Trichy is a college to consider.

Have I done a mistake in choosing IIT Delhi mechanical over DTU CS? I preferred to do CS, but due to ego, I chose IIT Delhi.

SG
Sushmita Gupta Posted On : April 1st, 2023
studied at Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi

I don’t think anyone choosing IIT Delhi over any other engineering college has made a wrong decision given the opportunities and life experiences that come with it. While both are crucial, your choice of Institute is more important than your branch. 

Here is a friend's journey for your reference l was a BTech student (Civil) at IIT BHU with a rank of 3600. 

  • First, he completed a Nanodegree program from Udacity in Self Driving Cars and Machine learning
  • Next, he worked as a Derivative Trader in Future First where he performed Machine Learning and Deep Learning algorithms.
  • After gaining great experience and exposure he joined Quantela Inc for 2 Years where he worked as a Data Scientist.
  • Today, after a lot of job switches and immense experience he is working at Derq in Dubai as a Machine Learning Scientist and doing Online MS from Georgia Tech University in Computer Science.

This journey of a 7-pointer Civil Branch student to a high-tech CS company proves that branch does not matter in the end. He made the most of his campus life and kept struggling to switch his branch and eventually succeeded. That being said, you have made the right decision as only IIT Delhi can give you the right set of opportunities and exposure and not DTU.

Which one is better for computer science and engineering and why: VNIT Nagpur, NIT Calicut, or NIT Rourkela?

AS
Ayushi Sehgal Posted On : March 1st, 2024

I completed my B.Tech CS from NIT Rourkela, so I can only speak for my own college.

For placements, NIT Rourkela is probably behind the other two because of its locational disadvantage. The lack of good connectivity creates difficulty for IT/software firms to reach Rourkela during placement season. Despite that, last year, the average package for B.Tech CS was Rs. INR 21.87 LPA at NIT Rourkela. This is quite a decent figure.

Moreover, I can assure you of the excellent research and infrastructural facilities at NIT Rourkela. It is probably better than the other two in this regard, and can even be compared to NIT Trichy. A good number of students from the CS department get offered foreign research internships. Some of them even end up receiving an offer for higher studies from universities in the US and Europe. 

NIT Rourkela is a good option for B.Tech CS if you want to pursue higher studies, but it might not be the best in terms of placements.

Is BITS Hyderabad better than VIT Vellore for CS?

AB
Aditi Banerjee Posted On : December 19th, 2023
Lives in Bangalore

BITS Hyderabad is definitely better than VIT Vellore for CS. Here are some reasons for the same-

  • Coding Culture- Even VIT Vellore has a decent coding culture. But when it comes to any of the BITS campuses, the coding culture over there is far more superior. The environment at BITS is such that one feels extremely motivated to learn and build new stuff. The BITS faculties are highly qualified and supportive.
  • Crowd- Getting into BITS is difficult, and there are no NRI or Management quota seats. Each one of the students gets in through pure merit. Because of these reasons the BITS Hyderabad crowd is overall better than the VIT Vellore crowd.
  • Placements- The Computer Science department of BITS Hyderabad witnesses better placements than VIT Vellore. But even VIT Vellore is good for CS placements.
  • Course Intake- VIT Vellore intakes a lot more students on a yearly basis. Though the competition is much higher at BITS Hyderabad, the end results are more fulfilling for each one of its students. 

Thus, I would recommend you choose BITS Hyderabad for your B.E. in CS.
