Choosing between CSE and ECE is a matter purely based on personal inclinations. While one branch may be good for you, it may not be for someone else, and vice versa. 

However, in terms of both academics and placements, NIT Warangal clearly has the upper hand. NIT Warangal is among the top 3 NITs and is better than NIT Calicut in almost every aspect. Its laboratory facilities and faculty are among the best.

Although NIT Calicut has an edge in terms of the highest CTC, NIT Warangal's average package beats it. Average packages are a better means of evaluating the placement scenario, and that being said, NIT Warangal is a better option. 

IIIT Delhi offers both electives and mandatory courses. Students are at freedom to make a choice in case of electives while there is no such choice in mandatory courses.

Now, the best part of the CSE branch at IIIT Delhi is that it has the maximum elective slots of any other branch. So, students get to choose electives from a wide range of courses like

•  AI
• Systems
• Security
• Design
• Electronics
• Economics

CSE will offer more academic flexibility than CSAI. CSAI will have some mandatory AI electives which might be beneficial if you are interested in the field. Also, you won’t have to study useless courses and can focus on AI. However, you will be restricted to the AI field, unlike CSE which gives you enough flexibility to pursue the field of your choice. Unless you are certain of your interest in AI, it’s best to choose CSE. 

In my opinion, an IIT KGP CSE dual degree is a better option than IIT Guwahati CSE. Here’s why

• You get an additional degree in just one or two years
• You don’t have to sit for another entrance exam like GATE 
• Companies that open profiles for BTech also open the same profiles for Dual Degree students.

IIT Guwahati is also a good option for CSE. However, one should opt for IIT Delhi EE only if

You are confident that one will be able to change branch within a year. This is because you will end up studying CS courses with external coaching.

To secure a job, the best options are CSE or MBA. For MBA, your branch does not really matter, only your institute does.

Based on mine and my friends’ experiences, here are some points I would like for you to consider in this regard-

1. The branch should always be your top priority. For a dual degree in CSE at BITS Hyderabad, you’ll need to score more than 7.6 CG. That would mean an average +30 in most subjects (relative grading). Phoenix Dual is a better option than VIT CSE.
2. Dual degree will take away a lot from your campus life. You won’t be able to enjoy clubs and events to the fullest.
3. BITS Hyderabad undoubtedly has a better crowd quality. Moreover, it carries the prestigious ‘BITS’ tag.
4. BITS will give you a more quality campus experience with better academics.

The decision has to be made by you, but I hope that these points will guide you. Whatever you choose, make sure to maintain a good academic performance in college, so that you end up getting decent job offers.

While IIT is a globally recognized brand, DTU is no less the mother institution of reputed colleges like IIT Delhi and FMS. It has been established got 83 years and is older than IITs. However, the institute is always the secondary thing to consider, the branch being the primary factor to focus on. Determine whether your interests lie in becoming a Computer Science engineer or an Electronics Engineer.

Personally, I would suggest you go for DTU CSE because of the following reasons:

Faculty: DTU has a rich pool of highly esteemed and well-qualified Professors with over an experience of more than 30 years of teaching

Campus: Located in a metro city, you are exposed to city life. You can also prepare for IAS, MBA, GRE, Language Courses, or coding courses as Delhi has the best coaching institutes.

DTU has a rich campus culture with over 120+ societies and 15+ Technical Teams.

Alumni

There are many alumni of DTU who have made significant contributions in various fields.

Here are a few examples:

• Vijay Shekhar Sharma, Founder of Paytm
• Praveen Sinha: Co-Founder Jabong.com
• Ravi Grover: Director, Homi Bhabha National Institute. Ex- principal Adviser to Dept. of Atomic Energy, India. 
• Durjoy Datta: Bestselling author
• Raghbir Singh Bhola: Arjuna Award winner, Olympian.
• Sachin Garg: Author
• Subhav Sinha: Inventor
• Niketan Madhok : Supermodel
• Krishnan Ganesh: Founder - TutorVista
• Sushant Singh Rajput: actor

Placements 

DTU has a great placement scenario and the table below is a testament to the same. The highest CTC was offered by Palantir followed by Amazon.

Ultimately, the choice of the program depends on your area of interest as both institutes are comparable and will offer similar opportunities. 

My friend was in a similar dilemma when he was left with these three options. Based on his experience, PICT is the best option in Pune for computers. The institute provides an environment and resources suitable for working on quality projects. The academic ambiance is excellent and you will get a chance to develop yourself. Students with a good CGOA bag good offers while some open their own startups.

WCE is a decent college with a good campus and faculty pool. The students make it to average companies like TCS Infosys cognizant. It’s the best college in the Kolhapur and Solapur University area. Most students opt for a job rather than pursuing higher studies.

VIT has the added advantage of being in Pune so if you ever face this situation, choose VIT over WCE. The preference order therefore is, PICT>VIT>WCE.
