IIIT Sri City is a decent option. However, with your rank, you can convert to other colleges too, such as NIT Patna, Hamirpur, IIITDM Jabalpur. So, cover all your options and choose according to your convenience.
There are numerous factors to consider before enrolling in any institute.
In terms of curriculum, it is assumed that the CSE curriculum at IIIT Guwahati is on par with that of any other institute of national importance. Many of the seniors landed good jobs in MNCs, and despite the location taboo, they were able to find suitable placements.
Because Jabalpur is in Central India, more companies will undoubtedly visit the campus. However, you are aware that they are also in the design and management fields. In contrast, the IIT Guwahati curriculum is completely different from theirs in that regard (it includes courses such as optimization techniques which IIITDM does not possibly have). In CSE, a greater emphasis is placed on software development and machine learning. So if you want to be in the middle of nature, join IIIT Guwahati. Whoever said this might be an immature student in their field of study, perhaps a freshman or a sophomore.
It is recommended to compare the faculty research areas and qualifications in both institutes as well as the infrastructure, placement record, and curriculum. Then you'll be able to choose which type of institute you want to attend.
Both IIT Delhi and IIT Ropar are highly reputable institutes in India, and both have strong programs in production industrial engineering and computer science engineering, respectively. However, if I were in your place, I would have chosen IIT Delhi Production and Industrial Engineering. Here are some strong points supporting my stance

Considering everything, IIT Delhi is a better option than IIT Ropar. The opportunities, brand name, and academic environment you will have access to will be unmatched. However, if you have a specific inclination towards the CS branch and want to pursue a career in the same, you can also consider joining IIT Ropar as the CS branch has diverse job opportunities even for the average students.
You can opt for NIT Andhra Pradesh. Now, you may be hesitant about choosing it because it is 2 years younger than IIIT Guwahati. But NIT Andhra Pradesh has both a very good location and faculty. The location of your institute matters since there are few companies that clearly do not visit the North East for placements. Even though IIIT Guwahati does not qualify to be at a very remote location, you will definitely have better options at NIT Andhra Pradesh.
Here are some details about the institutes.

The 2 years gap does not necessarily make noticeable differences, but the location does. For example, NIT Goa is only 7 years old but still has notable placement stats only because of its favorable location. So, if you want to enroll in IIIT, then either IIIT, Trichy, or Sri City can be considered better than IIIT Guwahati. IIIT Guwahati also had poor placements for CSE in recent years.
The final decision is yours, but NIT Andhra is definitely a better choice.
IT from NSIT is the best option among these.
IIIT Delhi has an excellent research culture and professors from top universities like Carnegie Mellon. So, if you are interested in research, you should choose IIIT D. Overall IT from NSIT is the best option in terms of academics and placements.
In this case, Electrical Engineering at IIT Roorkee would be a better option. The only exception being that you have an inclination towards studying CSE.
IIT Roorkee enjoys a strong national and international reputation. While IIT Bhubaneswar is growing and gaining recognition, it can’t yet match the established reputation of IIT Roorkee. The strong alumni network of IIT Roorkee provides significant advantages in terms of mentorship, networking and job opportunities. Additionally, Electrical Engineering provides a solid foundation for higher studies and research.
Here are the 2023 placement statistics of Electrical Engineering at IIT Roorkee:
Branch | Highest Package | Average Package | Median Package |
---|---|---|---|
EE | INR 44.62 LPA | INR 19.05 LPA | INR 15 LPA |
CSE is a highly known branch with numerous opportunities in the tech industry, and placements for CSE are generally strong. But the newer IITs do not attract as many top-tier companies for placements as old IITs like IIT Roorkee.
In conclusion, I would suggest you choose Electrical Engineering at IITR over CSE at IIT BBSR.
VSSUT Burla is a much better option than IGIT Sarang. VSSUT, Burla - Being the Oldest engineering institute in the state, has some of the best faculty, a huge library, and a wide-spread Alumni net.
Discussed below are a few important points about VSSUT Burla.
The table below gives a brief overview of the institutes.

One of my cousins was in the same situation, whether to choose VSSUT or IGIT, and he chose VSSUT. If you look up the statistics you will clearly see VSSUT is much better than IGIT.
There is no comparison between IIIT Raipur and IIEST Shibpur for Engineering. IIEST Shibpur is a much older and well established college than IIIT Raipur. Being a student of IIEST Shibpur myself, I can confidently say that the college is much superior when it comes to engineering.
Categories | IIEST Shibpur | IIIT Raipur |
Course Fee | 5.68 lakh | 1.8 lakh (1st year) |
Highest CTC | 35 LPA | 23 LPA |
Average CTC | 15 LPA | 10.5 LPA |
Recruiting Companies | Infosys, ZS Associates, Bosch, IBM, etc. | TCS, JP Morgan, CitiBank, American Express |
They produce many well-qualified students in different fields and provide them with many facilities along with placements and even good opportunities for higher studies and research.
Whether Nirma University will be a good option or not depends on what other options you have.
If you are not getting admission at DAIICT (at ICT with CS) or SVNIT, particularly if you are from Gujarat, then you can certainly go for Nirma. These colleges are a tier above Nirma. DAIICT offers an average package of around 12 LPA.
However, Nirma University also offers a decent CSE program. Here is a brief overview of the CSE program offered by the institute.
Highest CTC | 46 LPA |
Placement average | 95% |
Top recruiters | Infosys, Reliance, HDFC |
Course fee | 7.61 lakhs |
So, there are better options than Nirma for a CSE course, however, if you are not getting admission at these institutes, Nirma will be a good alternative.
Having read some reviews online about these universities, I can say that, for CSE, among VIT Bhopal, VIT AP, RGPV, or LNCT - VIT Bhopal is a better option.
Categories | CSE at VIT Bhopal |
Course Fee | 7.83 lakh |
Placement Percentage | 80% |
Highest CTC | 25 LPA |
Average CTC | 14-16 LPA |
Recruiting Companies | Wipro, Cognizant, Accenture, Capgemini, etc. |
No matter how good the college is, ultimately it is your hard work that will push your career forward. So do not rely only on the institute, try to work hard as well.
