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.

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.

NIT Silchar is better for CSE than LNMIIT. The rich and active coding culture adds to the credibility of this institute. Many core companies visit the campus every year with a good salary package. The recent placement statistics at NIT Silchar are given below

So, you can go with the option of NIT Silchar for Computer Science and Engineering.

I would never recommend you to go for any core branch at new IITs. With the new IIT tag, ISM Dhanbad is a far better option as it was established in 1926 and enjoys global recognition in contrast to IIT Hyderabad, which is still under development. Both the colleges are poles apart in terms of infrastructure, facilities, etc.

The table below shows a head-on comparison of the placement scenario at both the institutes:

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.

Techno India University is better than Netaji Subhash Engineering College in terms of location and the college life it offers. No doubt, NSEC has the better faculty, but for a good overall College experience, it’s better to go for Tecnho instead. NSEC is literally situated in the middle of a village and you will get zero exposure.

Given below is a comparative analysis of both colleges to get a better understanding

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.
