Should I join IIT Gandhinagar CS or NIT Trichy CS?
In my opinion, B.Tech CS from IIT Gandhinagar is a better choice. I am listing down the reasons why I would’ve chosen IIT Gandhinagar CS over NIT Trichy CS-
- IIT Gandhinagar is one of the best new IITs after IIT Hyderabad, IIT BHU, and IIT Indore.
- It also has very good placements like NIT Trichy with an average package for CS crossing 29 LPA at present.
- The government funding is far more for IITs.
- IIT Gandhinagar has changed immensely in the last few years. It is growing rapidly.
- Gandhinagar is more developed than Trichy.
- IIT Gandhinagar carries the highly recognized ‘IIT’ tag.
IIT Gandhinagar is the 11th most preferred IIT. It is expected to show more growth than NIT Trichy in the coming years because of its IIT tag and greater government funding.
Thus, I would suggest you go to IIT Gandhinagar for your CS.

A friend of mine got CSE at IIT Bombay with a rank of 10k. How is it justified?
The IITs are funded by the Government so it has complete authority to give admission to anyone. The teachers or the students are not the stakeholders in the case of IITs. It is the Government that pays the teachers' salaries and installs the various facilities. The Government is at complete freedom to decide who can come into ITs and who needs a push in the form of the reservation to join ITs.
The aspirants know beforehand that the Government has set such rules according to its own discretion. No one is forced to give the exam and you can always choose any other option if you think it’s unfair.
Here is a video giving you an honest review of the institute
Aspirants know that there might be cases where a candidate with 10k or above rank will get admission in contrast to the general cutoff. They still fill out firms in hope of clearing the exam. You are precisely giving a Government Exam and need to follow all the necessary rules. So it indeed is justified if someone with a 10k rank is able to make it into IIT Bombay.
