Mathematics and Computing (M&C) is a branch offered at the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Delhi and is quite similar to the CSE branch in the sense that both focus on the study of computer science and technology. However, it’s important to note that M&C is more inclined towards mathematics and its applications in computing, while CSE focuses more on the engineering aspects of computer science.

Both branches offer similar courses in programming, algorithms, data structures, and software development, but M&C additionally covers math-oriented topics like Differential Equations, Number Theory, Linear Optimization, Algebra, Calculus, etc.

There are a number of courses like Discrete Mathematical Structures taught at both departments but separately by professors of the respective departments. 

Both branches are the most coveted branches and all companies opening job profiles for one branch offer the same to the other branch because of the similar nature of the branches.

Frankly speaking, both Electronics and Instrumentation and CSE are equally good branches that open up ample opportunities in the future. Let us have a brief comparison of the NIT Silchar, E&I, and TEZU.

Infrastructure – TEZU is leading in terms of the best infrastructure and well-equipped lab facilities, especially in the CSE branch.

Faculty – TEZU is gifted with more highly qualified and experienced faculties than others.

Placement – NITs and TEZU have had a good record of placement in recent years.

Research – CSE has an active and advanced research environment at TEZU.

Other than the qualities of the institute, your initial preference should be given to your interest in the core subject.

I had the same choice in front of me a few years back. As a student of DTU, I can present before you some pros of choosing it over IIIT Delhi for CSE. These are-

1. DTU will provide you with ample time to explore your interests. These can be anything- coding, dancing, music, sports, drama, etc.
2. You’ll have less academic pressure. With one to two hours of routine self-study, you can score good grades.
3. You’ll have more time and energy for GATE, CAT, or GRE preparation.
4. You’ll get excellent peers and a large and lush green campus. The campus is spread across 164 acres.
5. DTU has great fests. These are- Engifest (cultural), Aahvaan (sports), Yuvaan (Literary), and Invictus (Technical). You’ll also enjoy DJ nights at the campus.
6. It has a strong alumni network and brand value.

However, the CSE curriculum at IIIT Delhi is more up-to-date. Also, as DTU has a huge number of students for CSE, the competition is high. 

Despite these cons, I believe DTU CSE is a better choice. But your decision should be based on your personal preferences.

There are several factors which one can consider while comparing two institutions. Here are some things that I considered while choosing my college.

NIT Hamirpur will offer you the prestigious ‘NIT’ tag. As compared to other colleges in this region, the environment over there is superior. By environment I mean the learning, interaction and personal development offered at an institution. The placements are continuously improving with new companies visiting the campus each year, offering better packages. This college has shown positive growth in terms of exposure and student- teacher interaction as well.

Even though I’m a student of NIT Hamirpur, my opinion is devoid of such biases. Thus, according to me, NIT Hamirpur is a better choice for your CSE program. 

All three universities namely MIT-WPU, VIT Pune, and PICT are well-known for their computer science and engineering programs in Pune. Here's a brief comparison between the three institutes:

1. MIT-WPU MIT is one of the top universities in Pune offering various programs in engineering, including computer science and engineering. It has a well-updated curriculum, experienced faculty, and state-of-the-art infrastructure. It also has ties with international universities that offer exposure to global trends in the field of computer science. The placement percentage is around 80-90%.
2. VIT Pune: VIT is also a top engineering institute in Pune with a strong academic foundation and an industry-oriented curriculum. It has ties with several reputed organizations such as IBM, TCS, etc. for training and placement activities. Its placement percentage is around 85-90%.
3. PICT: PICT is a well-established institute for computer science and engineering in Pune. It offers good quality education that is delivered by experienced faculty and a strong industry-academia interface. The placement percentage is around 80-85%.

Personally, I will recommend you follow this preference order for CS

PICT>VIT Pune>MIT.

My suggestion would be to opt for IIT Hyderabad Civil Engineering and prepare for a branch change. 

IITs cannot be compared to any private college other than BITS. Even if you are unable to change your branch, don’t feel disheartened as the IIT Brand name is more than enough. 

I know many people who were part of the Chemical, Biotech, and Civil Engineering branches of IIT and are earning more than 12 LPA currently. Irrespective of the branch you belong to, IITs offer an excellent coding culture making you proficient in the same. The quality of peer groups you will be interacting with is also better at IITs than at private colleges like RVCE. 

All in all, IIT as a brand is better than RVCE and other private colleges except BITS.

The aforementioned IITs have witnessed exponential growth over the past few years and are good options for engineering. You will have to consider your personal preferences to make the right decision. All the IITs mentioned have progressed well. You need to look over various factors while making a choice. Also, I will like to add IIT Patna and IIT Ropar as they also have been doing quite well.

• On the basis of the cutoff, IIT Gandhinagar is the winner after which comes IIT Ropar.
• All the new IITs except IIT Ropar have managed to shift to their newly constructed permanent campus out of which IIT Gandhinagar seems to have the most beautiful campus. 
• IIT Gandhinagar CSE has been established not very long ago and lacks the credibility yet. However, since IIT Gandhinagar functions under IIT Bombay, it will soon give promising results with a rich coding culture.
• Sparing IIT Gandhinagar, the CSE placements of all new IITs is visibly good.
• ISM is a new IIT but an old institute and thus has better cultural clubs and events than the newly established IITs.

In my opinion, IIT Gandhinagar should be your first choice among the new IITs followed by IIT Patna.
