Which is preferable for CS, CSE, and IT, IIITDM-Kancheepuram, IIIT Sri City, or IIIT Guwahati?

RD

Indian Institute of Information Technology, Guwahati

IIITDM Kancheepuram is an institute of national importance and it has an advantage over the other two institutes as both the institutes are IIITGs in PPP Mode. The bill to declare PPP mode as institutes of national importance is still pending in parliament. 

Here are a few pieces of information about the CSE/IT in the campuses mentioned in the question. 

IIIT Guwahati:

The institute started in the year 2013 and has a strong CS department with a good number of experienced faculties. 

  • Prof Gautam Barua who is the director of the CS department at IIIT Guwahati was also the director of IIT Guwahati from 2003-13. With his immense experience, he aims to build the department strong. 
  • Coming on to the curriculum of CSE/IT, it is well designed to suit the growing need of the industry. The intent here is to complete all the core subjects in the first 6 semesters so that students can choose the type of industry they want to get into. Like in the 4th semester, there is a subject called Computer Network which is generally a subject of 5/6th semester in other institutes. 
  • In the CS department, IIIT Guwahati has come up with the Ph.D. program as well. 
  • There are many advantages to join IIIT Guwahati but only a single disadvantage is there i.e. Location. But if you love to travel and nature, Guwahati is a place for you. 

IIIT Sri City: 

  • The number of faculties at IIIT Sri City is nearly half as compared to IIIT Guwahati. 
  • They also have MS and Ph.D. programs which indicates that they are also very active with regard to research. 
  • They are being mentored by Prof. UB Desai who is also the director of IIT Hyderabad and a pioneer in System and Network Research in India. 

Both the colleges have their advantages and disadvantages. You have to analyze which is better for you to pursue B.Tech in CSE/IT as per your parameters. Good luck.

How would people compare a 4 year B.Tech in CSE vs a 5 year B.Tech+M.Tech (dual-degree) in CS at NIT-Rourkela?

AB

There are common misconceptions and doubts in the minds of students and their parents regarding dual degree programs. People think that low rankers generally opt for a dual degree and placements are not good for DD programs.There is a common fear that dual degree students are neglected by the administration. It is believed to be better to opt for your M.Tech from an IIT. Most people end up choosing B.Tech instead of a dual degree, even if NIT Rourkela or some other top NIT/ IIT is offering this program.

However, here are some facts to erase these doubts and fears from your mind regarding a dual degree from NIT Rourkela, or any other institution-

  1. Even as a Ph.D./M.Tech student, you will have plenty of placement opportunities. You might even get a better offer than a B.Tech candidate if you possess a better skill set.
  2. Getting into an IIT for M.Tech is quite tough because clearing GATE/GRE with a good rank is a challenging task. 
  3. An integrated course will save you a year which you can use to develop your managerial or other skills/ to acquire experience. The IIT tag is important, however, with the right skill set and plenty of experience at your back, people won’t really bother about your college tag.
  4. Well-established IITs and R&D firms prefer dual degree holders.

Thus, you should definitely go for a dual degree at NIT Rourkela instead of harboring useless doubts and fears about your choice.

How good is the NIT Delhi for CSE?

YM
Yash Mehra Posted On : October 11th, 2023
Studied at National Institute of Technology, Delhi

NIT Delhi CSE is highly regarded among engineering aspirants mainly because its curriculum has been updated recently to meet industry standards. They are always way ahead of their counterparts in other colleges. The best part is that their rigorous academics do not affect their extracurricular activities. 

The faculty of the CSE branch is very lenient and approachable. CSE labs are equipped with the essential software. The placement scenario is great and almost everybody ends with more than one offer. Many huge firms like BookMyShow, Smartprix, Samsung, and Deloitte offer great packages to CSE students. 

So, NIT Delhi CSE is a great choice for you!

Is an ENI in BITS Goa good, and is it better than NIT Surathkal's EEE?

KA
Kriti Anand Posted On : August 20th, 2021
B.E. EEE from BITS Pilani, K. K. Birla Goa Campus (2019)

ENI stands for Electronics & Instrumentation Engineering while EEE is Electrical & Electronics Engineering. Having known some people studying at both these institutions, I can say that BITS Goa is better than NIT Surathkal.

  • In terms of infrastructure, BITS Goa is obviously better than NIT Surathkal. 
  • Better companies visit BITS Goa campus than NIT Surathkal. 
  • The course curriculum and the quality of academic projects are also better at BITS Goa. 
  • The faculty at BITS Goa is also top-notch.
  • In between the two branches, both are almost the same barring a few subjects (3 subjects to be precise). 
  • The course load, placements, and projects all are similar between the two. 
  • As these are core branches, getting placed in the core companies is going to be difficult at either of the institutes. 
Categories ENI at BITS Goa EEE at NIT Surathkal
Course Fee 19.19 lakh 5.40 lakh
Highest CTC 25 LPA 30 LPA
Average CTC 12-13 LPA 15 LPA
Recruiting Companies Arcesium, Goldman Sachs, nVidia, Texas Instruments, etc. Qualcomm, L&T, Microsoft, Samsung, etc.

Finally, I would say that ENI at BITS Goa is very good and actually might be a little better than EEE at NIT Surathkal.

Should I leave NITK Surathkal CS for IIT Gandhinagar CS? I've finished my 1st year from NITK.

AM

IIT Gandhinagar

You should go to IIT Gandhinagar. That being said, if you have obtained the CSE degree course at Gandhinagar, then the most probable rank you ought to have is under 1800, since the closing rank is around 1800–1900. In that case, you can opt to go for other old IITs’ by compromising with the branch. You will get far better students at old IITs, which can be a plus side to your personal development and further enhancement.

For the most part, the problem with the new IITs is that they lack to provide a greater established alumni network and good infrastructure. However, since IIT Gandhinagar was established back in 2008, you can expect decent infrastructure and facilities.

What is it like to study CS in NERIST?

WH
Writupriya Hazra Posted On : September 10th, 2021
M.Tech Computer Science, North Eastern Regional Institute of Science and Technology (2018)

CSE in NERIST is not a great option in terms of money and time. As one of my friends studied there, here’s what I got to know about it:

  • The syllabus hasn’t been updated to the latest needs. 
  • Some of the professors have no teaching experience. They are more focused on students mugging up rather than learning.
  • You will be taught languages that are no longer properly working in the industry. 
  • The labs here are messy and no the library is too small to accommodate a large group of students. 
  • The local Arunchali students tend to boss around and threaten everyone.
  • The non local teachers also fear the local students and hence they give them better marks, to avoid the commotion. 
Categories CS at NERIST
Course Fee 22,300
Highest CTC 10 LPA
Average CTC 3.3 LPA
Recruiting Companies Godrej, Infosys, Sony, GAIL, etc.

Moreover, the environment is not academic-friendly. The placements earlier were very bad but have improved eventually. CS has few such good teachers who really care about their students and how much they are actually learning.

Should I take CSE in UIET CSJM Kanpur or drop?

AS
Ankita Shestha Posted On : October 20th, 2021
Studied B.E from Netaji Subhas Institute of Technology (2020)

You should choose the branch as per your choice and interest. It would be advised to not choose CSE just because it is the highest-paid.

Secondly, if you are pursuing CSE, you will need a laptop with a good internet connection. You cannot always be dependent on labs. You can also join online courses offered by CODING BLOCK, CODING NINJAS, EDx, MIT, and many other MOOCs to get good at programming.

It is not necessary to always look for a brand tag if you really believe in yourself especially when you are studying CSE. Placement opportunities are available in reputed companies such as Google, Amazon, and many more by your skills in the definite field.

Which is better, IIT Delhi Textile Technology or NIT Delhi CSE (considering I have a very high interest in programming)?

YM
Yash Mehra Posted On : April 10th, 2023
Studied at National Institute of Technology, Delhi

Both institutes are well known for their excellent education and opportunities offered. So you can choose the branch and college on the basis of your own preferences. However, some points you might want or consider

Campus: NIT Delhi operates from a temporary campus which is located far away from the country and its permanent campus is still under construction. IIT Delhi on the other hand is a fully-fledged established Institute with a fully functioning well facilitated campus.

Placements: Although Textile Engineering has very few core job opportunities, people tend to go for non-core jobs instead to secure a high-paying job at a top company. Meanwhile, NIT Delhi being younger than IIT Delhi has fewer companies visiting campus with CS roles despite being a demanded branch.

If you are actually keen to pursue CSE, go for better Engineering colleges like NITs, DTU, NSIT, and IIIT D. In fact even at IIT Delhi, you can pursue your coding passion alongside your main branch textile and sit for IT placements. The final decision is yours to make and you can consider additional aspects like fees, location, and academics while making your decision.

  • If you want to pursue MTech after BTech, iMTech at IIIT Bangalore is a great option as you will save a whole year. However, if you don’t want to pursue BTech, you should opt for IIIT Allahabad.
  • The course curriculum and faculty at IIIT B are excellent. On the other hand, at IIITA students are quite frustrated with their faculty.

Based on the above facts and the conversation I had with some of my friends and colleagues who are pass outs from IIITB and IIITA, I would advise you to choose IIIT Bangalore with closed eyes.

Which is better for engineering, GNDU or PTU?

MA
Madhav Aneja Posted On : August 24th, 2023
Lived in Chandigarh, India

PTU and GNDU both are well-reputed colleges that have unique strengths and weaknesses. While PTU is a bit flexible in terms of exam pattern, GNDU follows the rule of a year back. The choice of the college also depends on the course you will be studying. Usually, PTU fares better in most cases. 

Ultimately, it all depends on the college or university campus you are taking admission. Most colleges in Punjab have a pathetic academic ambiance. So go for the main campus of any university else look for a decent college in your area.

In all, GNDU offers better placement opportunities provided that you are on the main campus.
