What should I take, IT in IEM or CSE in Heritage Institute of Technology?
In terms of college, IEM and HIT both provide similar career opportunities in the IT sector. Major recruiters like TCS, Infosys, CTS, Capgemini from the IT sector visit both the institutes.
If you had to pick between the two engineering fields, you should always go with CS. If you select CS, you will be able to apply for a variety of government/public sector positions (ISRO, BARC, IOCL) after completing your B.tech. Only CS guys are qualified to apply for the majority of these government jobs.
| Parameters | IEM | Heritage Institute of Technology in Kolkata |
| Tuition fees (B.Tech) | 5.88 lakhs | 3.93 lakhs |
| Average CTC | INR 5-6 LPA | INR 3.75 LPA |
| Highest CTC | 72 LPA | 16 LPA |
As you will get similar opportunities you can choose either. Also, outside of WB, no one cares if you're from IEM or HIT. Unless you're from JU, everything is the same.
Which is better, NIT Calicut CSE or MNNIT Allahabad IT?
If you are planning between these two, NITC CSE is a really good option. They offer cushy packages and decent companies visit the institute.

When it comes to MNNIT the course curriculum of both IT and CSE is the same and there is no such difference overall. The placements are good too. The highest CTC offered is INR 49 lakhs per annum whereas the average salary is INR 10.28 lakhs per annum. Companies like BYJU, Amazon, and Capgemini hire students regularly from the campus.
Eventually, it boils down to which college meets your needs better.
Which college is better for computer science: Maharaja Agrasen Institute of Technology in Delhi or Heritage Institute of Technology in Kolkata?
I have friends from both Heritage Institute of Technology Kolkata and Maharaja Agrasen Institute of Technology Delhi and based on the conversations that I had with them, I will say the former is a better choice for a CSE degree.
According to my friends, you will find that after enrolling in Maharaja Agrasen Institute of Technology, all you'll have to do is show up for sessionals and assignments. You must attend lessons or else the HOD will contact your parents. However, this opinion varies from person to person.
Here is a brief comparison of the two institutes.
| Parameters | Maharaja Agrasen Institute of Technology in Delhi | Heritage Institute of Technology in Kolkata |
| Tuition Fees (B.Tech) | 5.73 lakhs | 3.93 lakhs |
| Placement Percentage | 85% | 80% |
| Average CTC | INR 3.50 LPA | INR 4 LPA |
Overall, Heritage Institute of Technology in Kolkata is definitely a better option as compared to MAIT Delhi for CSE.
Which is better: CSE in NIT, Durgapur or metallurgy in NIT, Warangal?
I would like you to consider certain important things before making your decision-
- College- Without a doubt, NIT Warangal is ahead of NIT Durgapur in terms of faculty, infrastructure and hostel facilities.
- Subject - You need to choose your subject based on your interests. Without that you’ll either hate your profession or choose a completely different career path altogether. If you are into math, coding, logic and problem-solving, choose CSE. On the other hand, if you want to study materials, metals, extraction, etc, choose Metallurgy.
- Profession - CSE will give you better opportunities in the IT sector. You might get a fat check, work for a good company, and live in metropolitans. As you know, IT jobs are basically office jobs.On the other hand, core Metallurgy jobs deal with steel plants, mines and such. You’ll end up working in a remote area if you choose a core job.The placements for CSE are overall much better than Metallurgy, across all engineering colleges. But if you have a passion for metallurgy, you might end up in a good brand or get selected for a government position.
- Location- Both the places are culturally very different. Research a bit, and figure out which place’s food habits, climate, and culture suits you better.
According to me your college will last for 4 years. However, your branch will become an intrinsic part of your personality and profession. Unless you have an interest in Metallurgy or a good chance at sliding to another branch, choose CSE at NIT Durgapur.
Which is better: CSE in NIT, Durgapur or metallurgy in NIT, Warangal?
NIT Warangal is better in terms of infrastructure, faculty, campus, faculty, and placement support. But the recruiters prefer students from the software field; the metallurgical students only get an average salary package, which is pitiful.
The decision can be made by giving primary importance to your interests and you should keep in mind that the selection of a better branch decides your future and not the college
Which college is better for CSE, IIT Dhanbad or BITS Pilani?
I recommend BITS Pilani to do a CSE course because of its industry-aligned approach, ensuring CSE students are well-equipped to take on the challenges of the industry.
What I specifically like about BITS Pilani is its industry-relevant CSE curriculum, modern facilities and experienced faculty. The students are also involved in research projects and are offered internship opportunities.
BITS Pilani also holds a high standard in various brands with a strong alumni network across the world. It also has strong industry connections ensuring ample placement opportunities, making it an ideal choice for CSE.
How tough is it to change branch from ECE to CSE in Heritage Institute of Technology?
To change the stream from ECE to CSE, having an SGPA of 8.5 or more at the end of the first year is mandatory. It goes without saying that you will have to focus on your academics and try to maintain regular attendance. Complete your lab assignments and you can easily achieve an SGPA of 8.5 or even more.
Heritage Institute is now an autonomous institute so all the scores are in the hands of the faculty. The scoring rate has seen a slight decrease since the time it was under WBUT.
What should I choose for CSE, NSIT or DTU?
Here are some important things I learned from the campus placements at NSUT Delhi-
- It’s a harsh reality but luck plays a huge role in placements. Sometimes it will shock you how people with no potential at all get offered great job opportunities.
- Confidence and patience are really important during placements.
- You need to prepare well to get placed. By sitting for various companies too, you will get a lot of experience and exposure on the do’s and don'ts.
- Placement season is the best and worst time of your college life. This is when you get to know the difference between fake and real friends.
- Learn to be satisfied with the job that you end up in. It is your grades, caliber, and level of preparation that have brought you here. A comparison with others is of no use.
- Sometimes people become rude after getting placed in a top company for a good package. Learn to ignore them and remain calm.
- Only you know your hard work, worth and potential. Don’t let others talk you down with rude words.
- Some of your close friends may not get a good placement. This is the time when you support them.
- Utilize your time after placements. Get productive, don’t be lazy.
These experiences aren’t just limited to the placement season of NSUT Delhi, they are common for all the colleges/ universities.
Should I go for IIT Goa Electrical or NIT Kurukshetra CSE even though I have interest in CSE?
My uncle is a professor of Mathematics at IIT Delhi. According to him, one should prioritize the subject/ branch instead of the college while making such decisions.
You have an interest in CSE, as mentioned by you. In that case, you should go for the best college that is offering you CSE. An ‘IIT’ tag is definitely worthy and IITs have their own advantages. However, it will boil down to nothing if you have no interest in your branch.
But, I also wish to make it clear that NIT Kurukshetra does not offer CSE (Computer Science Engineering). Instead, it offers Computer Engineering (CE). The former revolves around Software, while the latter pays more attention to Hardware.
Try to find out more about CE, and then make your final decision. If you decide that CE is a better choice for you, go for NIT Kurukshetra. Otherwise, choose the other option.
You can also look for some other good colleges that offer CSE.
I am a B.Tech first year CSE student from NIT Warangal. What are the best ways to utilise my summer holidays?
My friend is a third-year CSE student at NIT Warangal. These are his tips to enhance your programming skills during your summer holidays-
- Coursera is a big help for freshers in any field.
- Do not learn numerous programming languages . It is futile to learn so many syntaxes and programming languages unless you know how to use them.
- Start competitive programming . Competitive programming is an excellent way to polish your programming skills. It is also a great exercise to set your logic in motion. For now, spend time on Codechef/ Topcoder/ Codeforces. For a fresher, Codechef is the best platform. Get into competitive programming before the start of your second year. This will also help you tremendously for the Data Structures & Algorithms course in your second year.
- Internships are easy to grab with the right skills and knowledge. So don’t worry about internships for now.
- You can start open-source contribution later on, if interested. But don’t do it just to be called an “open-source programmer/ contributor”.
- Use the internet as much as possible to enhance your knowledge and skills.
These tips are useful for CSE freshers from all colleges and universities, and not just NIT Warangal.
