One of my friends has completed both his Bachelor’s and Master’s in CS from IIIT Hyderabad and still suggested his younger brother go for IIT Madras. 

He feels that IIIT Hyderabad certainly gives you an edge in getting placed initially but it restricts your prospects to a large extent. IIT Madras on the other hand gives a wider perspective and scope. Students get to learn specifics in their sub-field.

The lab facilities offered at both institutes are equally good. However, you can join as an intern/RA later in any of these institutes. So this affects the research edge in specific areas. IIT Madras seems to have better research options mainly because of its huge size.

Outside life shouldn’t be a problem in either institute because both are excellently located and offer a great urban life. So look at the vegged picture and choose wisely!

The CSE branches of both NIT Surathkal and NIT Warangal are equally good in terms of academics, facilities, and job opportunities. Even if there was any small difference, it wouldn’t matter if you were among the top 70% of the class. One must consider other personal criteria like hostel facilities, distance from home town, food, etc. Here is a brief overview of both the colleges 

Particulars	NIT Surathkal	NIT Warangal
Ranking	38 out of 200 colleges in India in 2023	53 out of 200 colleges in India in 2023
Total No. of Eligible Students	1608	1446
No. of Students placed	1385	1132
Highest CTC	INR 45 LPA	INR 62.5 LPA
Average CTC	INR 13.12 LPA	INR 25.5 LPA
Top Recruiters	Microsoft, DE Shaw, Uber, Amazon, Oracle.

Recently, NIT Warangal has been doing exceptionally well in terms of placements. Almost 30% of the class got more than 20 LPA offers. All you need is open coding skills. 

Whether you should opt for MnC at IIT Delhi or B.Math at ISI Bangalore depends on what you want from your graduation and your career prospects.

Academically both institutes are excellent and none is better than the other. So my answer entails the drastic difference in the curriculum and scope of the two programs.

Bachelor of Mathematics, ISI Bengaluru

This program has high-tech mathematical stuff and purely focuses on Mathematics. The Institute is smaller than IIT Delhi and ideal for those who have a single passion in life, Maths. The coursework consists of abstract algebra, analysis, probability theory, and so on. Additionally, it has compulsory courses in Statistics, Probability, and Physics as well. Although it offers some CS courses also, the program does not focus on Computer Science much.

Math and Computing (MnC), IIT Delhi

The curriculum of the MnC program is more inclined toward computer science than Mathematics. The program focuses more on applied mathematics, rather than pure mathematics. As a result, graduates from this course can start jobs earlier than those from ISI.

In a nutshell, if you are willing to go for higher education and research in mathematics, then ISI should be your goal. If you are a person interested in the practical application of concepts and want to eventually be employed in a company, then IIT Delhi is the best place for you.

It's difficult to choose one between NIT Kurukshetra Civil and OEC Chandigarh CSE because both branches are different with diverse scopes and opportunities. You will have to consider a lot of parameters while choosing one of these

Personally I will suggest you opt for the CS branch unless you have any specific inclination towards civil engineering or any other branch. The excellent placements of this branch are not the only reason I am suggesting you go for it. The courses taught are rather easy and can be covered through self-study which may not be possible for Civil. 

You are aware of the academic situation of most engineering colleges these days. Most professors have no interest in teaching. I believe that if you can get CS in PEC you can also get CS in NIT Kurukshetra. It has a better alumni network so it's a better option than PEC. Civil students will have options like research internships, masters or Ph.D. later, get into IES, etc.

Here is a comparison of a few statistics that might help you further make a well-informed decision.

Parameters	NIT Kurukshetra	PEC
Fees	1.6 Lakhs (BTech first year)	2.07 Lakhs (BTech first year)
Ranking	58 out of 200 in 2023	101 out of 200 in 2023
Highest CTC	INR 1.25 CPA	Rs 64.5 LPA
Average CTC	INR 13.89 LPA	Rs 13.5 LPA
Top Recruiters	ICICI Lombard, HCL Technologies, Microsoft, Adani Group	Microsoft, RBS, Goldman Sachs

In the end, your choice of college won’t matter much but how you spent your 4 years will.
