When faced with a similar situation different people make different choices. There is no right choice as it’s a matter of personal preference. IIT Indore CSE and BITS Pilani EEE are both lucrative options and thus only your personal choices can determine the right one.
There are some who wish to grab the IIT tag and want to take CS because the branch is a major crowd-puller. While some want to experience the brand and prestige of the old BITS Pilani.
I would suggest you go for IIT Indore as the small batch size has its own benefits and moreover, IIT Indore has been growing quickly and seems to give more promising results in the future. The small batch size gives the vibe of a small family and you will love the bond here. BITS Pilani on the other hand has its own aura with Meritocracy as the mantra but its high fees are a major issue.
Both the institutes are equally good and choosing one of the other wouldn’t be a regretful decision.
According to some of my friends studying at BITS Goa, it is undeniably a very established institute to pursue Computer Science (CS). One of the main reasons is the faculty BITS Goa essentially involves. Under their supervision, you will be part of handling several projects in your course of study.
However, at times, it might get quite difficult securing certain individual projects under the guidance of professors due to a huge amount of competition.
Here is the latest placement report of BITS Goa,
Highest Salary Package | INR 25 LPA |
Average Salary Package | INR 12-16 LPA |
Top Recruiting Companies | BNY Mellon, Amazon, Goldman Sachs, ZS Associates, Microsoft, Ebay, Paypal, Tesco, KPMG, etc. |
On the flip side, you will indisputably acquire a good set of experience from both PS 1 and PS 2. The placement drive is usually very robust, since the institute is often visited by various top IT firms. However, since the competition is quite high, it might get slightly difficult. Although, it will be worth it nonetheless.
Both IIT Patna and IIT Jodhpur are well-renowned institutions.
My brother pursued his CSE at IIT Jodhpur. According to him, you will enjoy studying CSE at IIT Jodhpur.
Check out the CSE course details at IIT Jodhpur to draw a statistical comparison between the two.
It is suggested you choose CSE at KIIT University. One of my friends studied there. According to him, there is no comparison between the branch of KIIT CSE and CET.

The program applies to CSE, except that in the first semester you have to study biology. KIIT develops practical applications for students as well as the theory of study.
For branch change from mining to MNC in IIT BHU, one needs to consider the following points.
As per the policy, a student of a 4-year program(Btech) can get his branch changed to a 4-year program(Btech) only and a student of a 5-year program(IDD) can get his branch changed to a 5-year program(IDD) only. Considering this, you cannot get your branch changed to MNC unless you are in a 5-year program (IDD) at IIT-BHU mining. IIT BHU offers only an IDD program in Mathematics and Computing.
Another branch change policy states that the total intake of a branch during branch change should be 10% of the total batch strength. Now, Maths and Computing have very few students, only around 20-25. This means only 2 students can get their branch changed into MNC. This results in tough competition and one has to score at least 9.7 CPI to be eligible for branch change.
At BIET Jhansi, you will be most likely to learn subjects that have no connection with Computer Engineering. It will include subjects like C language and its basics. But if you have any basic knowledge of any of these programming languages like C, C++, Java then there’s nothing to worry about.
Don't carry any such book as there are plenty of books available in the departmental library for every requirement. Also, with an online library, you will find books on every genre including your subjects books too.
