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.

Which is better in terms of the syllabus, placements and college life: NSIT in ECE vs BIT Mesra in CSE?
My friend did his B.Tech ECE from NSIT. According to him, NSIT ECE is a better choice than BIT Mesra CSE. Here are the reasons for his preference for NSIT ECE-
- Location- NSIT graduates have greater access to major industries due to its closeness to cities like Noida and Gurugram. For CAT, GRE, GMAT, etc., Delhi has a good coaching center facility.
- Brand Value- The brand value of NSIT is greater than that of BIT Mesra.
- Faculty at NSIT - You will be taught by some of the best professors in the country at the NSIT ECE department. Their letter of recommendation will open numerous doors for you.
- Seniors at NSIT- The seniors at NSIT are very helpful. Some of your seniors working at top firms may even refer you for an internship/job interview.
- Classes are held regularly at NSIT- There is a 75% attendance criteria at NSIT. The teachers also come for the lectures regularly.
- Coding Culture at NSIT- The coding culture at NSIT is great and their coders make it to GSoC every year. Some of them are also ranked highly on sites like TopCoder and CodeChef.
- Placements- The placements at NSIT are better than BIT Mesra. ECE students from NSIT get placed in core electronics companies, tech, and non-tech firms. Some of these companies are- Texas Instruments, Airtel, KPMG, Bain, BCG, McKinsey, TCS, Maruti Suzuki, Expedia, Google, Uber, etc.
- The ECE course has been recently updated by NSIT as per the industry standards. You will get to choose among electives from the first year itself. The electives range from Finance to Sports.
- NSIT is the only Indian college to send delegations to the prestigious Harvard MUN.
Thus, I would suggest you choose NSIT ECE over BIT Mesra CSE.

Is CSE faculty at IIIT Hyderabad good?
My friend studies in IIIT-Sricity which shared some faculties with IIIT Hyderabad initially as it was under its mentorship.
Generally, you can find both good and bad professors here. But the bad here does not mean underqualified, but arrogant ones. By no means will you find a professor who is underqualified and their extensive knowledge is their biggest weapon. Some of them are as great as Prof Raj Reddy, a Turing award winner which is considered a Nobel Prize or Oscar for Computer Science. So you can get an idea of the level of faculties here.
In reality, most students at IIIT Hyderabad are dependent on peers or seniors more than their faculty. So you can stop bothering about the parity of the professors here.
How is CGC landran for CS?
CS branch stands out from all other branches in CGC Landran. In CGC, there are two colleges - COE and CEC
Looking at the academics, CEC is better.
Features of College:
- In the CS batch of CGC, the strength of students is almost 700. In each section, there are 60 students.
- The teaching skills of professors here are not decent. It is more theoretical based on than practical. You have to put in your own efforts. One of my friends was a student of the institute and after one month of the course, he decided to leave the course because of the faculty quality.

What should I take, CSE at IIT Ropar or IIT Dhanbad?
One of my friends was in a similar dilemma when he got both CSE at IIIT Delhi and CSE at IIT Patna.
Although he lived in Delhi, he did not choose IIIT Delhi and went for IIT Patna instead. There were a number of reasons why he chose Patna.
- He wanted to avail the benefits of the IIT tag.
- He believed that the new IITs are developing at a fast rate and in a few years, their CSE departments would be at par with that of old IITs.
- IITs also have a better crowd because of the high cutoffs.
- IIT Patna being a government-funded college, has amazing infrastructure, placements, facilities, and labs.
- When it comes to cultural fests, nothing can beat the IITs.
- IITs have more interdisciplinary activities which aid in research and also give you an insight into the other departments.
Ultimately, Delhi has a better location but that is outweighed by the IIT tag.
Which is better, IIT Kharagpur for CSE or IIT Delhi for maths and computing?
If I leave my biases towards Delhi as a city aside. I would choose CSE at IIT KGP over MNC at IITD.
- Top 5 IITs are more or less equal in every aspect. Placements are also almost the same for equivalent branches.
- Highest Package for CSE at IIT Kharagpur 2024 is 2.68 CPA offered by Amazon.
- Median salary at IIT Kharagpur CSE is 24 LPA.
- Median salary at IIT Delhi MNC is 20 LPA.
- MNC is one of the toughest branches in engineering while CSE requires comparatively less effort.
- More companies Come to campus for CSE placements like HFCL, Microsoft and KPMG.
- CSE offers more opportunities to several fields like AI/ML, data science, etc.
Can I get in CSE in Thapar University (in any counselling round) with a JEE Mains rank of 47,000?
According to one of my friend's opinions, if you belong to the state Punjab and have completed your studies till class 12 there then you can take a chance for a counseling round.
But if not there are very less chances with a JEE Mains rank of 47,000 and it seems difficult mostly to the students belonging to the general category.
The recent cut-off has been indicated below that can give you a reference regarding the JEE Mains rank:
| Year/Category | General | OBC | SC |
| 2020 | 426 | 106844 | 155233 |
From the above table you can clearly get an idea regarding the level of difficulty that a general candidate faces.
Work hard and score a good percentile score to get admission to one of the leading universities in the country.
