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

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.
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.
