Should I take production engineering at MNNIT Allahabad and try for a branch change or should I take CS in NIT Raipur?
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.
- Don’t opt for a branch just because of the higher CTC, or college brand name, etc. Because the degree you will get is for life. So, make sure you are interested to work in the field that you are choosing.
- Also, go through the syllabus given on the official website and see if you can do the coursework for the branch of your choosing.
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.
Why is CSE at IIITD considered better than CSE at NSIT?
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.
What are the average and highest placement packages at GRIET for CSE?

Is NIT Bhopal CSE better than NIT Rourkela CSE?
My brother completed his CSE from NIT Bhopal. He does not know about the CSE at NIT Rourkela, however, here are his opinions about CSE at NIT Bhopal-
- Faculty and Teaching Standards - The CSE faculty at NIT Bhopal is not up to the mark. If you are looking for a faculty to guide you and teach you everything, you will be disappointed over there. At NIT Bhopal, you will mostly be on your own. This can be advantageous in that you will get ample time to work on yourself and prepare well for your future.
- Placements - The placement scenario for CSE is quite good at NIT Bhopal. Multiple companies regularly visit the campus for CSE placements and many new ones visit each year. Various companies hire CSE students for different positions. Companies like Amazon, Microsoft, Adobe, Deutsche Bank, JP Morgan, SAP, Factset, etc. visit the campus for CSE placements. During 2022, the average package for CSE students stood at INR 17.45 LPA. CSE students also receive internship offers during their pre final/ final year. These internships are of 2, 6 or 10 months and you may even end up with pre placement offers.
NIT Bhopal CSE has a good placement record but not the best faculty. I would suggest you consult the alumni from CSE branch at NIT Rourkela to get a clear picture of this institution as well before you can choose between the two.
How is CSE at BIT Mesra in terms of placements and course structure?

PROS
- Senior batches contribute to making required changes in the syllabus every year. Hence, the course material keeps on upgrading.
- Teachers work hard and are contributing to the growth of the students as well as the department. They are also cordial.
- The university provides good infrastructural resources for the seamless learning of the students.
- Some students even work towards keeping the college environment warm and positive.
CONS
- Most of the teachers do not focus on learning new things but only teaching the course material.
- Since the course material is upgrading, many of the important technologies are not discussed.
Some important points:
Computer Science and Engineering is the best branch among all. The University brings some of the top MNCs for campus recruitment. Having said that, it depends upon personal choice. Some of you might like the Computer Science and Engineering course at ITM University, Gwalior and some of you might not.
But, it is highly recommended to go for ITM Gwalior if you could not score enough marks for IITs, NITs, and other reputed colleges. You will not regret joining ITM Gwalior.
I am likely to get EI at BITS Hyderabad and CSE in local top EAMCET colleges in Telangana. Which one should I prefer, or shall I drop this year?
I was in a similar dilemma last year, and ended up choosing BITS Hyderabad. My friends who chose top EAMCET colleges regret their decision at present. BITS does not only offer good academics, it also gives a lot of opportunities and exposure to its students.
If you are passionate about CS, then opt for a dual degree program at BITS, or CS at other colleges. But if you do not have a specific branch in mind, opt for BITS. Later on, you might want to switch from engineering to some other sector, like finance.
The clubs and departments at BITS Hyderabad will give you ample exposure to understand your interests and goals. Moreover, top investment banks, and companies from various sectors visit the campus with good placement offers every year.
BITS Hyderabad has a far better placement record and brand name as compared to EAMCET colleges. It has a rich curriculum, unlike the EAMCET colleges, which give all the importance to theory, and coding is not taught properly. BITS Hyderabad has a good infrastructure with lush green campus.
Thus, if you do not have a specific branch preference, I would recommend BITS Hyderabad over EAMCET colleges any day.
How is IIIT Kota for CSE?
The most important thing in engineering is your knowledge and skills. Doing well in academics does not ensure good placements. There have been many pieces of evidence where toppers could not fetch placement.
IIIT Kota is good in terms of placement. It is a national institute and gives you the tag of IIIT. But, when it comes to understanding between faculties and students, it has a way to go. This makes the environment not likable. A friend of mine attended the institute and didn’t quite like the environment there.
Apart from this IIIT Kota is quite good for CSE, you will get to experience many things there. There are many hackathons, coding events, sports events in which you can take part. There are many timely workshops organized by Technical Club, Google DSC, and Microsoft Student Partner. FlairFiesta is the annual cultural-techno fest of the institute.
So, overall IIIT Kota is a decent option for CSE.
Is leaving BITS, Goa CSE for IITB, CSE foolishness?
No, it’s definitely not foolishness, IIT B is among the top engineering colleges in the country. The IIT B is a cherished dream of many and for good reasons. The institute offers a great Computer Science program. The coding culture on campus is amazing. According to the recent placement highlights, IIT Bombay CSE average package stays in the range of INR 15-20 LPA.
Which one to choose: NSIT's ICE (instrumentation and control eng) OR IIIT UNA CSE?
Firstly, you should know that IIIT UNA is a new college and although it has the IIIT tag, it hasn't been ranked by any esteemed Ranking platforms like NIRF. Its classes are also facilitated by NIT Hamirpur's faculty and the campus and faculty are nice.
As far as NSIT is concerned, it ranks #76 on the NIRF ranking portal for engineering and has a better location in Delhi than Hamirpur, because of the facilities and professional opportunities available.
Here are some more pointers to help you understand better -
- If your interest lies in the program rather than the institute, then go for CSE. Although first reflect on the placement scenario of IIIT UNA, whether they receive good companies or not; if the package is satisfactory, and if speedy placements are facilitated after the course is over.
- When you take a look at NSIT, then you should know that you'd be able to build a good career as a software engineer with the ICE program, but the management will be a little difficult because of the delicate balance between coursework and developing your programming skills.
- Most ICE alumni are now pursuing MBA or working other non-technical jobs. For non-tech, NSIT offers better opportunities.
Here's a table on the placement scenario-
