I am currently pursuing 1st year B.tech (CSE) in NIT Raipur. Can I give JEE Mains next year and take admission in another NIT or IIIT?
Yes, you can surely attempt your JEE Mains/Advanced/BITS. Many students do the same. There are (and have been) at least 1 or 2 such students in every batch of NIT Raipur.
But I would advise you not to opt for just any other NIT. Choose an NIT which is at least 5-6 ranks above NIT Raipur. Otherwise, switching to another NIT will prove ineffective. The same goes for IIITs, choose only the old ones.
This is because NIT Raipur offers decent placements for CSE, at par with the NITs of the same stature. So wasting a year for NIT Jamshedpur or NIT Durgapur will be fruitless. If you go for JEE counseling, you’ll have to withdraw from your NIT Raipur seat first. To be on the safe side, go for the counseling only with a score high enough to get you CSE in a better ranking NIT. Otherwise, you might get NIT Raipur once again. This has happened with students in the past.
I hope this advice will help you make wise decisions regarding your college switch.
Which is better, NIT Silchar CSE or IIIT Jabalpur CSE?
Both NIT Silchar as well as IIIT Jabalpur are backed by the Government of India and have similar facilities. The campus, faculty, and alumni network are great in both cases. However, there are some additional parameters in which IIIT Jabalpur fares better making it a more preferable choice. Some of them have been mentioned below
- Location : Jabalpur enjoys a good location in the heart of the country while NIT Silchar is located remotely in the North-East. Therefore IIIT Jabalpur has better connectivity and exposure.
- International collaboration: IIIT Jabalpur has ties with Japan resulting in frequent lectures conducted by Japanese faculty and frequent visits to Japan. Such international ties give it an edge over NIT Silchar in the kind of opportunities offered.
- Clubs: IIIT Jabalpur has several technical, cultural, and sports clubs, constituting the Student Gymkhana that ensures the holistic development of the students.
- Coding Culture: The institute is known to have an active coding culture that is promoted by many active programming, web development, and graphics designing clubs.
Overall, if you are passionate about academics and research, then go for IIIT Jabalpur but if you want a more vibrant college life choose NIT Silchar.
Which is better for a B.Tech in Computer Science: MIT Manipal, IIIT Sri City (Chittoor), or IIIT Guwahati?
I know a few students at IIIT Guwahati and therefore, I would try to answer your question.
IIIT Guwahati is the highest-ranked IIIT among all the other IIITs by NIRF 2020. This is a huge achievement because it was established in 2013 under the Public-Private Partnership by the Government of India. It is growing rapidly.
The CSE program at IIIT Guwahati is very well-developed meeting the standards of an IIT. The institute provides a good research facility. Also, in the first year, the course is the same for CSE and ECE.
Here is a brief overview of the CSE program offered by these three institutes.

At IIIT Guwahati, the B.Tech CSE program first starts with computing-oriented courses and later allows the possibility of doing science courses. The institute will definitely quench your thirst for computer science.
In what way are academics tough at Shri Ramswaroop Memorial University, and what is the way to survive with good marks? I have recently started studying at SRMU, B.Tech-CS in the course.
No, it's just not that difficult. Sri Ramswaroop Memorial Group College is well-known for its stringent campus regulations. Simply try to expand your academic horizons. You should also get involved in extracurricular activities as well. Learn about current trends in computer science engineering. One advantage is that the college has a Student Development program and other classes that prepare students for the real world.
Pay close attention in class. And make certain you understand the concept. Even if the lecturer is lecturing from a native book. You study using standard textbooks. Take Mathematics seriously. Consider data structures and algorithms. Always be intellectually curious, introspective, sincere, and observant, and take part in cultural events.
Is it true that IIIT Delhi is very strict, completely academic-oriented, and only people with very high interest in a CSE should only join there?
Academics is the top most priority of IIIT Delhi. Everything else takes a backseat. This may be because it is branded as a research institute.
If you wish to pursue research in CSE or complete your MS/Ph.D. from a foreign university, choose IIIT Delhi. Academically, IIITD is comparable to IIT Bombay, IIIT Hyderabad, etc. But don’t choose IIIT Delhi if you are planning for an MBA later on. In this case, you might end up dropping out due to a loss of interest in this course.
As for placements, more than 95% of B.Tech CSE students are placed each year. However, very few non-tech companies visit the campus. As ECE receives very few core companies, students from both branches compete against each other for tech jobs.
Based on your own priorities and goals, decide whether or not to choose IIITD for your CSE course.
Which is better, LNMIIT CSE or NIT Agartala CSE?
I feel LMNIIT CSE is a much better choice than NIT Agartala CSE provided that you have the financial means to get admission there. Here is why I feel it's better than NIT Agartala
- LMNIIT has a more updated and flexible curriculum than NIT Agartala.
- LMNIIT has a better crowd since the admissions are purely based on merit and there is no reservation policy.
- Many IT giants visit LMNIIT every year for placements which isn't the case at NIT Agartala as the job opportunities are limited there.
- Jaipur has better opportunities for preparation for competitive exams like CAT and GRE.
- LNMIIT is not a private college but a Public Private Partnership so you will avail the benefits of this high brand value in the industry.
So, is better to look beyond the NIT tag and choose LMNIIT because the tag does not matter much more than academics and placements.
How is Computer Science at IIT Bhubaneswar?
Computer Science Engineering at IIT Bhubaneswar is not at its full potential under the current situation as compared to other IITs. Being inaugurated in the year 2008, CS still does not have its own separate dedicated department or school and comes under the School of Electrical Sciences. However, the School of Electrical Sciences is one of the fastest-growing schools in IIT Bhubaneswar. This school offers an intensive research-oriented learning environment.
Although IIT Bhubaneswar is still in it’s developing phase, the placement scenario has improved significantly over the years. In 2019 there was 100% placement from the CSE department. The average CTC offered was around 11.5 LPA while the highest went up to 39 LPA. Many MNCs and PSUs took part in the placement drive.
Though still developing, IIT Bhubaneswar offers a decent CSE program both in terms of academics and placements.
What are the placement statistics of BITS Hyderabad CSE?
I completed my B.E. CSE from BITS Hyderabad in 2021. Thus, I can share with you the placement statistics for my batch.
As on 3rd December 2021, 91.73% was the placement percentage for our batch. The median salary was 27.5 LPA, the highest salary was 43.31 LPA, and the average salary was 26.8 LPA.
These records are quite impressive, and at par with the top IITs, Pilani, Goa, and IIIT Hyderabad. As for placements, BITS Pilani is the best, followed by Goa, and then Hyderabad.
I am interested in programming, algorithms, etc. So what will be good for me: IIIT-Allahabad IT or IIIT-Delhi CSE?
If you are given a choice between IIITA and IIITD, take admission in IIIT Delhi hands down. You will never regret it. IIIT Delhi has everything that a good IT institution needs i.e. Great faculty, excellent domestic and international placements, and an overall great experience.

IIIT DELHI
The cut-off for admission at IIITD ranges from 16694-28261. IIITD has a great set of faculty members and the curriculum is excellent.IIITD lacks diversity. With around 85% of the student community belonging to Delhi, it isn't catering to a pan-Indian audience. IIIT-Delhi students seemed frustrated with the workload and students are left with deadlines every single day and thus have no life out of academics.
IIIT Allahabad
The candidate must have cleared the JEE Mains. The cut off for admission at IIITA ranges from 1291-5330. IIITA has a great coding environment. Faculty is not up to the mark.
They both have a good curriculum but IIIT Delhi has so much more to offer. So If I were you, I would definitely choose IIITD.
Which college should I choose between UIET Chandigarh and Thapar University for CSE?
To help you choose between UIET and Thapar University, here are a few comparisons-
- Infrastructure- The infrastructure of UIET is not good. Thapar University has a good infrastructure and you will really like it when you visit the institution. Also, do check the pictures of Thapar on instagram.
- Fees- The fees for Thapar University is extremely high. On the other hand, UIET fees are so affordable that you won’t even feel like you are paying college fees.
- Research- Panjab University is doing good in the area of research. But UIET in itself has not produced much output yet. On the other hand, Thapar excels in research quality. However, PU has a government funded innovation center and you may get an internship over there. This makes UIET also a good choice for a career in research.
- Brand Value- Panjab University is a big brand. However, its Engineering department is not as well recognized. Thapar is a well known engineering institution that has a high reputation in North India. It has a brand value at par with BITS and NITs.
- Alumni Network- UIET is new and has virtually no alumni network. Thapar is old enough and has a wide alumni network spread across various countries.
Thus, after considering various parameters, I would suggest you to opt for Thapar University for your CSE if its high fees is not an issue.
