Galgotias University is definitely a better choice for a BTech degree in CSE. I have friends at both Galgotias and Amity. Based on what I heard about the CSE department at these campuses, it is suggested to choose Galgotias.
The table below gives a brief insight into the CSE program offered by these institutes.

Galgotias University |
Amity University |
Average CTC |
8.75 LPA |
4.5 LPA |
Highest CTC |

HCL Group, Adobe Systems, Capgemini |
So, quality of education, placement statistics all these factors tips the balance in the favor of Galgotias University.
Amity Noida is better for CSE. It is the oldest campus and offers better facilities. The placement scenario for CSE is comparably better at Amity Noida. Major industry giants such as Microsoft, Accenture, IBM, L&T Infotech, etc. take part in the campus drive. Amity Noida placement highlights show the average package for CSE to be around INR 5 LPA. While the highest CTC offered goes up to INR 26 LPA.
Heritage Institute of Technology (HIT) is a very popular engineering institute and if you are interested in pursuing Chemical engineering then you should definitely take admission in this college.
Categories | Chemical Engineering at HIT | CSE at Techno India |
Course Fee | 3.95 lakh | 6.32 lakh |
Highest CTC | 12-15 LPA | 15-20 LPA |
Average CTC | 5-6 LPA | 7-8 LPA |
Recruiting Companies | GlaxoSmithKline, Bengal Chemicals, etc. | Wipro, Infosys, Dell, HP, etc. |
Hence, both the colleges are very good with excellent placements and academics and it completely depends on your interests in which branch you would like to study and build your career.
NIT Rourkela started branch change facility from academic year 2017-2018. For a branch change, your first year CGPA and seat availability in the desired course will be considered. However, to answer you precisely, it is not easy to get a branch change, that too into CSE. Top scorers at NIT Rourkela are able to achieve this feat.
The main obstacle is that students acquire a laid back attitude after getting an admission into an NIT or IIT. Even if you work 1/10th as hard as you did during your JEE preparation, you will get a good CGPA and your chances for a branch change will be high. For this, you will have to work hard instead of blaming the faculty, syllabus or hectic schedule.
It is quite difficult to upgrade to CSE at NIT Rourkela. However, if you work really hard and get lucky enough that the department has vacant seats, you might get into CSE after your first year.
IIT Roorkee, NIT Trichy, and NIT Warangal are well-established institutes in India. The scope of metallurgy is comparatively lower than that of CSE. IIT Roorkee mainly concentrates on textual learning and does not give the students exposure to practical learning. They are using the practice of mugging up the lessons without having a clear understanding of the topic. The placement is very poor here; the students from the metallurgy department usually end up in data analytics and coding.
So CSE at NIT Warangal and Trichy would be a better choice.
CS and EC are very different branches. You need to decide which branch interests you more.
EC is about electronics and how the different electrical components communicate with one another. It involves a lot of Physics. It only involves a little programming. CS, on the other hand, is all about programming. It mainly uses logic and math.
If you are interested in programming, CSAI from IIIT Lucknow is the better choice. AI/ML is in huge demand in the industry as most things will be automated in the future. Placements and coding culture are top-notch at all these colleges. Students from IIIT Lucknow and IIIT Bangalore perform well in competitions like ACM ICPC.
All these colleges are good. You should make your choice based on your field of interest.
Your rank is pretty good and you are likely to get both, IIIT Hyderabad CSE and BITS Pilani. However, had I been in your place, I would have chosen IIIT Hyderabad. There are a number of reasons that support my choice.
In all, IIIT Hyderabad gives you a sense of freedom to explore yourself and your surroundings better.
There will be a handful of seats available for branch change and branch modifications do not only occur when you fill in a form. You will have other brilliant and ambitious students to compete with.
Choosing the right branch:
If you are facing trouble choosing the right branch, you should remember the following things.
The table below gives a brief overview of the two courses.

My brother was a student of MNNIT Allahabad and for his 1st year, the highest CGPA was 9.67, while many scored 9. So, the chances of branch upgradation are quite slim.
NSUT Delhi is known for its COE (Computer Engineering) course.
The COE course is different from CSE. In COE, you will study hardware, electronics & signals, and codes & algorithms. Unlike CSE, software is not the main focus of study in COE.
Now as far as a comparison between them is considered, IIITD has a much better teaching environment than NSUT Delhi. Though it also has an experienced faculty, you will mainly be taught by Ph.D. students during the first two years.
Unlike before, however, the NSUT Delhi curriculum has been updated. There is now a CBCS (Choice Based Credit System) and you won’t have to compulsorily study unnecessary subjects. Both institutes have a pretty good placement record. Although the COE branch concerns itself more with hardware, students get placed majorly in software profiles.
All I can say is that NSUT Delhi has now an updated curriculum and a university status. On the other hand, IIITD is a comparatively new player in this field that is also performing quite well. Thus, both institutions are a good choice to pursue your computer studies.
Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) from GRIET is a good option to go for students.
2020 Placements Statistics:
If you look at the overall placement statistics for the year 2020, then the highest package was offered at INR 41.6 lakhs per annum by Microsoft. There were a total of 364 CSE students who have got placed till now.
Average CTC |

Thus, overall if you want to follow CSE at GRIET looking at this placement figure, then it is a very good choice.
