Which is better among CSE at IIT-Roorkee and IIIT-Hyderabad?

TA

Lives in New Delhi

The ‘better’ institute of the two; IIT Roorkee and IIIT Hyderabad is very subjective and depends on individual goals and preferences. However, you can draw a general comparison between the two based on some common factors like 

  • Academics: IIIT-H has better professors and academic environment in comparison to IIT Roorkee. The professors are more experienced and adopt better pedagogy.
  • Research: IIIT-H is known for its excellent research culture in the field of AI and vision. Some centers like Robotics Research Center (RRC) are ranked (by publications) among the top labs in Asia in their respective field. So research-wise, IIIT Hyderabad is the best.
  • Placements: The placement scenario at IIIT Hyderabad is almost at par with top engineering institutes of the country like IIT Bombay and IIT Delhi.

Particulars

IIIT Hyderabad 

IIT Roorkee

Number of Recruiters 

50+

265

Highest CTC 

INR 74 LPA

INR 2.15 CPA

Top Companies

Bloomberg, Code Nation, Deloitte, Facebook, Google, HSBC, Indeed 

Accenture Japan Ltd, Amazon, Bank of America, Microsoft

  • Alumni and Brand value: In contrast to the general misconception, IITs are not the only reputable engineering institutes and IIITs are fast catching up in the race. The alumni of IIIT Hyderabad and its branch value are almost at par with old IITs. 

I hope the above points suffice to claim IIIT Hyderabad is a better option than IIT Roorkee. It’s high time we stop running after IIT tags and look for the genuine worth of an Institute.

Is the M.Sc (Economics) + B.E. (Hons.) dual-degree from BITS Goa a better option than CSE from NIT Surathkal?

TD
Tezal Dahiya Posted On : September 16th, 2023

You must first introspect if you really like coding or not. CSE is a trendy branch these days because of the high packages it offers. But those who land a job in top brands are deeply interested in, and an expert of coding. If you are genuinely interested in coding, NIT Surathkal CSE is a great option for you. It’s a good college with a good campus life.

I also pursued my dual degree with an MSc. in Economics from NIT Goa. The Economics department of my college is great. The curriculum is rich, and courses like Econometrics, MSM, Applied Econometrics, etc. are a great help when applying for placements in Analytics firms. Even for an MBA, an Economics degree is very useful. The faculty for Economics is great. MSc. Economics offers less burden than other specializations like Maths or Physics. The course offers very good electives like Security Analysis and Portfolio Management, Financial Management, etc. With a dual degree, you’ll get an extra year to choose your engineering branch.

Now if you opt for a dual degree from BITS Goa, be prepared to work really hard. The crowd is quite competitive. You’ll need to work hard to manage two programs simultaneously. The fees at BITS are quite high in comparison to NITs. NITs won’t provide you top-notch lodging and food facilities like BITS. For higher education too, the BITS tag holds more value. The curriculum at NITs isn’t as flexible as that offered at BITS.

Both are renowned colleges. You should make a choice based on your priorities.

What is the better choice between IIT-B Metallurgy and NIT Surathkal CSE?

AG
Akriti Gupta Posted On : September 16th, 2023
lives in Mumbai, Maharashtra, India

Choosing a branch over a college and vice versa is a big dilemma for many engineering aspirants. I personally feel one should give preference to branch over college because the college stays with you just for 4 years but the branch determines your career. NIT Surathkal CSE is a highly regarded program and recently its infrastructure has been improved to meet industry needs. Here are some core reasons to prefer it over IIT Bombay Metallurgy.

  • NIT Surathkal CSE placements are great with almost 100% placements and an average CTC of around INR 29.47 LPA. 
  • The seniors are approachable and friendly so you can look upon them and seek assistance in all matters.
  • The infrastructure has been improved with the construction of a new digital library and another indoor play.
  • NIT Surathkal however does not have an active nightlife. This might both work in favor or against you.
  • There are restrictions on in-timing for first-year students. 

Ultimately, it’s up to you to decide if you want to prioritize the branch or the college.

Which is better for CSE, NIT Rourkela or MNNIT?

TD
Tezal Dahiya Posted On : August 16th, 2023

There are many reasons for suggesting you go for MNNIT Allahabad CSE over NIT Rourkela CSE.

  • MNNIT Allahabad has one of the oldest CSE branches so it boasts of a rich coding culture.
  • The institute enjoys good connectivity via airways and railways, and thus the quality and number of recruiters are better than Rourkela which doesn’t-even have an airport. 
  • MNNIT Allahabad is the best NIT in North India considering both home state and open state cutoffs.
  • MNNIT Allahabad CSE placements are much better with the average standing at INR 27.57 LPA while NIT Rourkela CSE average package was recorded at INR 21.87 LPA. 
  • MNNIT Allahabad is the 4th best NIT after Trichy, Warangal, and Surathkal.

These were some plausible reasons to choose MNNIT Allahabad over NIT Rourkela for CSE.

Which is better, IIT Guwahati for CSE or IIT Delhi for EE?

AB
Akriti Banerjee Posted On : May 6th, 2023
lives in New Delhi

Although both programs are good, I would still recommend IIT Delhi EE over IIT Guwahati CSE. Here are a few reasons that support my recommendation 

  • Better job opportunities: The EE department covers various CSE courses making its students eligible to sit for all CSE companies for placements. These companies include Microsoft, Tower Research, Goldman Sachs, etc. Additionally, the students also have the advantage of offers from core EE companies like Nvidia, Intel, and AMD.
  • Great location: Due to its prime location, IIT Delhi is close to many places to explore in Delhi. Some of these are Connaught Place, Khan Market, HKV and the list goes on. Delhi also has better transportation and connectivity than Guwahati. Plus, Delhi has better transport connectivity and is way easier to reach than Guwahati.
  • College Fests: Rendezvous, IIT Delhi's annual cultural fest is the biggest of its kind in North India. There is also Tryst, the tech fest, and Sportech, the sports fest.
  • Amazing startup culture: IIT Delhi is known for its highly encouraging startup culture. Out of the 30 unicorns founded by Indians in the last few years, 15 of them were founded by IIT Delhi Alumni. IIT Delhi helps you with finding, ideas and the necessary resources for startup. 
  • Branch change: While branch change might be difficult in other IITs, IIT Delhi has an easy branch-changing policy with over 100 students changing their branches every year.

Hence, IIT Delhi EE is a better option than IIT Guwahati CSE.

Which should I choose, the IIT Guwahati M and C or BITS Pilani CSE?

BG
Bidita Ghose Posted On : May 5th, 2023
Lives in Bengaluru, Karnataka, India

BITS Pilani has the upper hand in almost every aspect. Being older than IIT Guwahati, it enjoys a better reputation both inside and outside India. Moreover, BITS Pilani CS placements are better than IIT Guwahati MnC placements.

Curriculum: IIT Guwahati MnC curriculum is poorly designed. It’s a mixture of Maths, Computer Science, and Finance making you the Jack of all trades but master of none. The syllabus of IIT Guwahati is not updated while BITS follows the updated syllabus of the world-famous university, Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

Electives: BITS Pilani offers a wide range of electives to choose from. You can even take up many electives in a specific field and get a minor degree in the same. IIT Guwahati on the other hand has minor electives only in the final year with only 2 open electives. Moreover, MnC students are not allowed to take minor courses in computer science due to some common courses.

Hostel: The BITS Pilani CSE students get excellent accommodation facilities at Gandhi Bhawan. Thus hostel provides double occupancy ik the first year and single occupancy in 2nd, 3rd, and 4th years. The washrooms are similar to washrooms in hotels and the overall facilities are top-notch.

It’s important to note that my answer was specifically talking about the Pilani campus as my knowledge is limited to the same. So, I will suggest you to go for BITS Pilani over IIT Guwahati any day.

Which should I prefer, IIIT Kalyani, IIIT Naya Raipur, IIIT Bhopal, or IIIT Surat for CSE?

RC
Ritwick Chatterjee Posted On : April 20th, 2023
IIIT Naya Raipur

If you are considering pursuing higher education at IIIT Naya Raipur, it's important to evaluate the placement opportunities and other factors to ensure it aligns with your career goals. Here are some points to consider:

  • Placement opportunities: IIIT Naya Raipur has decent placement opportunities, but it's important to note that most of the high-paying placements are outside India. While earning 30 LPA in a developed country may seem attractive, it's important to understand that the cost of living and other factors may offset the high salary. Additionally, these placements may be on a temporary basis, meaning you may have to look for a new job once the project is complete.
  • Private college vs NIT: IIIT Naya Raipur is a private college, which means it may not have the same level of resources and opportunities as a national institute like NIT. NITs are well-established institutes with a strong reputation and better infrastructure, which can provide you with a better learning experience and more opportunities.
  • State government focus: Chhattisgarh lacks strong infrastructure and government support for innovation and startups. The government's focus is more on providing basic necessities to the people and votes banks. Therefore, apart from campus placements, it may be challenging to find opportunities in the state.

In conclusion, while IIIT Naya Raipur may offer decent placement opportunities, it's important to evaluate other factors such as infrastructure, government support for innovation, and reputation before making a decision. Considering a national institute like NIT may be a better option for a more comprehensive learning experience and better opportunities.
