If you are interested in coding and aim to work in good corporate firms, then it is suggested that you go for CSE at NIT Calicut. But if you want an IIT tag, you can opt for IIT BHU. But this won't matter much afterward.

So, if you are focused on doing research then Chemical Engineering at IIT BHU will be a good option. You can also learn coding on the sidelines, which might be beneficial if you sit for placements.

The choice of studying in a college pursuing a particular subject is entirely up to you. Check where your strengths and weaknesses lie and then choose accordingly. Both institutes are good in their own way. But it is your hard work and dedication that will prove if CSE or Chemical will be good for you. 

IIT Bhubaneshwar and IIT Indore, both of these institutes are good for CSE.

According to the National Institute Ranking Framework (NIRF), IIT Indore is on the 10th rank lies a lot ahead than IIT Bhubaneshwar which is on the 22nd rank.

IIT Bhubaneshwar provides a good CSE program and also has a much better coding culture than the other IITs. The experience gathered by the seniors also adds up a lot to the coding and web development club. The institute offers a good placement rate to its students. In 2019 there was 100% placement from CSE. The average CTC offered was 11.44 LPA. IIT Bhubaneshwar being in a city that is a hub to headquarters of many huge companies like Tata adds up a lot to the institute’s opportunities. The quality of education provided at the institute is also good as the methods of teaching used by the professors are unique and effective.

IIT Indore provides its students with computer science engineering with a fairly good placement rate. In 2019 the placement rate at this IIT was 99% and the average salary package offered was around 16.06 LPA. IIT Indore also provides its students with an amazing number of undergraduate research opportunities as well as foreign collaborations. This institute also has an amazing team of professors, especially the faculty of Computer Science Engineering.

Rest, it is always up to a student’s preference for him/her to choose as both of these institutes have their own benefits to offer.

You can get admission to the CSE branch of Karunya Institute of Technology and Sciences (Deemed University) formerly known as Karunya University by appearing for its entrance exam known as KEE. 

You should have at least scored a minimum of 50% marks in your 12th standard without which you will not be given admission.

If you want, you can visit the college, talk with some authorities and you can get a branch of your choice. It is quite easy to get admission here.

Having known some people studying in both these institutions, I can say that KIIT is promising and is getting better every year. Thapar is a well-known and much older institute. You can choose either by preferring the college or the branch.

• If you are interested in studying mechanical engineering then go to Thapar. It has good placements for Mechanical. The faculty department is also decent.
• If you are more inclined towards coding go for CSE from KIIT. It is a more practical-oriented subject.
• If the interests do not lie in either and you just want a B.Tech degree and want to pursue higher studies or MBA, then go for CSE as that is the easiest among all the others. 
• It will be more practical-based learning, more industry-oriented and it has the best scope after graduation.

So you should decide your field of interest and what type of job or higher studies you would like to do and then opt for the branch that fits best for you.

As one of my friends studied at NIT Jalandhar, I can tell you his experiences with the college. According to him, NIT Jalandhar is far better than NIT Goa or UPTU College, especially the CSE branch. 

• The college is well established and has been earning a name for many years when compared to NIT Goa or UPTU College. 
• There is proper equipment available for the students of the CSE branch along with the other facilities. 
• Also, NIT Jalandhar has created a proper environment for all the students that can lead to their constant growth.
• NIT Jalandhar offers decent placement offers to students in various prestigious companies. 

According to the recent placement statistics following data can be tabulated:

Last but not least we can say that NIT Jalandhar along with its appealing infrastructure provides very attractive opportunities to all the students for their holistic development. So when compared to NIT Goa or UPTU College, always choose NIT Jalandhar.
