Which is better, IIT Delhi (chemical) or BITS Pilani (CSE)?
I am a B.Tech Chemical Engineering student at IIT Delhi. According to me, these are the main factors you should consider while making up your mind:
- Demand: CSE is more in-demand than chemical engineering.
- Brand: The “IIT” tag holds more brand value than the “BITS” tag. The “IIT” tag will be more advantageous if you want to apply to foreign universities for higher education later on.
- Fees: IIT Delhi is an affordable choice, whereas, BITS Pilani has high fees for its engineering programs. Additionally, IIT Delhi has better placements, which places it at a better position in terms of ROI.
Here is a comparison between IIT Delhi Chemical and BITS Pilani CSE:

Even though CSE is a highly sought after branch in the current market, I would suggest you opt for Chemical Engineering at IIT Delhi. IIT Delhi will offer a better ROI, and its brand name will be of immense benefit if you wish to pursue higher studies in India and abroad after graduation.
You can do some research on the career and research opportunities after Chemical Engineering, and see if this branch aligns with your future goals.
What board percentage is required to get CSE at Thapar University through Mode-2 counselling?
One of my friends graduated from Thapar University and here’s what I got to know from him. Firstly let me answer your question.
- At Thapar University, you need only your PCM marks of 12th boards to get admission through mode-2 if you have a good percentage in the board examinations.
- However, less than 93% in PCM is difficult for you.
- You should have at least 92 to 93% in PCM (12th boards) to apply for the same.
- Since CSE is the most preferred branch at Thapar University the cutoffs are high.
- I would suggest you attend all rounds then only you will get an idea of where you stand in the list.
You may get CSE through mode-2 counseling however the chances are moderate. So, try all the modes and in-person counseling.
Is PEC Chandigarh really degrading year by year, and how is the faculty for CSE and its placement for CSE?
A news article was published in 2018 which assured that there are a lot of chances that PEC shall be converted into IIT very soon.
Firstly, PEC is part of the University of Punjab. If it is converted into IIT, then it has to be turned into an autonomous institute first, which has not started yet. There is still not any confirmation regarding the conversion of PEC into IIT. It is a huge thing and these type of topics generally goes through a lot of controversies.
If you are taking admission in PEC thinking that you will get a degree from IIT, then you are completely wrong. You will get a degree with a tag of PEC.
It will be better if you stop thinking about the IIT factor. This institute itself a reputed one and provides amazing placements to every one of its students. So, you must be focused on your hard work, career and future career perspectives without thinking about PEC is transformed into IIT.
What should I choose between IIT BHU CSE and IIT Guwahati Maths and Computing?
Both IIT BHU CSE and IIT Guwahati MnC are excellent options and the choice of the branch is a personal matter depending on the candidate's preferences rather than the credibility of the branch. Here are a few parameters on which we can draw a general comparison between the two courses.
- Course structure: IIT Guwahati’s MnC program has a well-structured curriculum with the perfect blend of Computer Science, finance, and Mathematics courses. By the end of the program, you will be eligible to sit for software as well as finance placements. IIT BHU CSE too is known for its flexible course structure with a plethora of electives to choose from.
- Coding culture: Undoubtedly, IITBHU has a better coding culture than IIT Guwahati. The ambiance is quite competitive at BHU if that’s what you are after. However, MnC too is gaining popularity and the decreasing opening rank can be seen as a proof of the same.
- Peer group: High JEE rankers prefer IIT Guwahati over IIT BHU and thus the peer group of IIT Guwahati is more refined and superior in quality.
- Campus and student life: IIT Guwahati has an amazing campus and its students get to live a very dynamic and lively college life. IIT-BHU’s campus on the other hand is underdeveloped and you can also find student politics here. IIT Guwahati is the best choice for nature lovers who like solace and peace while IIT BHU is for those who want to experience city life as well.
- Student life: Both institutes have great clubs and activities to promote the holistic development of students. Students are allotted single rooms right from the first year at IIT Guwahati which is different from IIT BHU. Mess food is better at BHU. IIT Guwahati is a clear winner in sports, cultural and technical clubs, etc.
- Placements: Both institutes have equally good placement scenarios with major recruiters like Microsoft, Google, Tower Research, Flipkart, etc. visiting both these campuses. CS and MnC students receive similar placement offers and in fact, being in MnC makes you eligible for both finance as well as software jobs.
Both the institutes and branches have their own strengths and weaknesses and the final decision should be based on what you want from your degree. If it’s a competitive environment you are after, go for IIT BHU, while if it’s a rich college life experience you want, then IIT Guwahati is your destination.

How’s the placements for COE in Thapar University?
COE placements in Thapar University are decent and numerous opportunities are offered to its students. The reality is, the quality of roles and packages also depends largely on the profiles of the students and their skills. Many reputed firms like Microsoft IDE, Amazon, and Maruti visit the campus every year and offer lucrative packages to skilled students. Work Applications, a Japanese company offered a package of INR 30 LPA in the past. Many such offers are made.
Many students resort to off-campus placements and end up with high packages. The reason is that the campus placements do not allow some startups because they aren't sure of their credibility. These startups offer huge packages to students in off-campus placemats.
If you want to get placed as a COE student at Thapar University check the following points
- Learn Coding
- Create something unique
- Contribute to open source projects
- Conduct qualitative research and publish a few papers

How is BIET, Jhansi for IT?
BIET Jhansi is an institution known for the fact that their students are capable enough to study and learn about the subjects all by themselves. The college encourages the fact that the students need little to no guidance from the institute itself. My sister was pursuing CS from BIET and she mentioned that the IT branch in the college is self-financed.
Students aiming for better salary packages and job opportunities have to work hard on their own. The complete dependence on the institute without much of your effort, will only provide you with the basic and comparatively lower salary package of 3 LPA.
