If you are sure about your interest in CSE, DTU is the best option for you. However, if you are yet to identify your area of interest then go through the following parameters

• Placement: DTU has ties with huge CSE companies like Amazon, and Microsoft that offer excellent packages to the students even better than Civil at IIT Roorkee. I know many friends from NSITs and DTU that work in Microsoft today.
• Research: The CS department is undoubtedly better in terms of research work and opportunities than the Civil.
• IAS: For IAS, the most preferred branch is Civil. However, if you do for Roorkee, you will have limited options for coaching which can be easily sought at IIT Delhi
• MBA: Again, because of better coaching institutes, IIT Delhi is better to prepare for CAT.

Once you are sure of your inclination making a decision won’t seem so difficult!

Whether IIT Patna CSE is better or MnC at IIT Guwahati, depends on what you want to do after your graduation. 

If you have an interest in pure and abstract Math and want to do research in Maths, theoretical computer science, Set theory, Group Theory, and Complexity Theory, then the IIT Guwahati MnC program is the best for you.

However, if you have an interest in coding and want to become a competitive programmer, or a software developer, and research in areas other than Theoretical Computer Science, then IIT Patna CSE is the right choice for you. Extensive research on every CS field is done here.

Basically, the academic workload of the MnC program at IIT Guwahati is too much with a very rigid curriculum that will spare you no time to focus on coding. No doubt, the MnC program too has excellent job opportunities in finance, banking, and software jobs. But, the demand for CS students is much more than MnC students and is expected to be increasingly so over the next few years. 

Common courses of CS and MNC include theoretical computer science, some being computer networks, and operating systems while the rest of the courses are related to abstract Maths/pure Math and are highly rigorous in nature. Contrary to popular belief, there aren't many common concepts between MnC and CS. 

IIT Guwahati will give you a slightly better campus life in comparison to IIT Patna considering its scenic campus and high-level fests organized by the institute.

When it comes to selecting a college, it's important to consider various factors such as the curriculum, faculty, infrastructure, location, and placement opportunities. If you are considering CGC and CU Gharuan, you may want to take note of the following information.

CGC is affiliated with Punjab Technical University (PTU), whereas CU Gharuan is a university in itself. While being affiliated with PTU has its advantages, such as following a standardized curriculum and receiving recognition from the university, it's important to note that not all colleges under PTU may be of the same standard.

On the other hand, CU Gharuan is a recognized university that offers a range of courses across different fields. The university has its own faculty, infrastructure, and curriculum that is designed to provide students with a comprehensive learning experience.

When it comes to placements, both CGC and CU Gharuan have a dedicated placement cell that assists students in finding job opportunities. However, it's important to note that placement outcomes are not solely dependent on the college, but also on various other factors such as the student's skills, interests, and abilities, and the industry requirements.

While some colleges under PTU may not have a good reputation, it's not fair to generalize and say that all colleges under PTU are of no use. Similarly, while CU Gharuan may be a good option for some students, it may not be the best option for everyone. It's important to thoroughly research and consider all the factors before making a decision.

PICT is the best option for CSE in Pune followed by VIT Pune. The faculty pool of PICT stands apart from other colleges making it the dream college of many. I once visited a technical project exhibition in PICT and fell in love with the innovative environment of the college.

The cutoffs are usually high for PICT and it accepts only the best crowd. So you will get an amazing experience if you choose PICT over VIT.

The two primary criteria to evaluate a branch's credibility are academics and job opportunities. 

Academically, NIT Rourkela has a certain advantage over Jamshedpur because it is one of the top NITs. Moreover, the curriculum followed is rigorous and students are expected to maintain a high attendance. The CSE department in particular is very rigid, unlike NIT Jamshedpur which has a laid-back attitude with very lenient professors. It's quite challenging to score high marks at NIT Rourkela CSE especially its Data Structures and Algorithms which is a compulsory course for every branch in the first year. The professors are very passionate and learned so the classroom sessions are quite intuitive. But maintaining a high score may be a problem here so you can go for NIT Jamshedpur.  

Placements: Most software companies don’t visit NIT Rourkela because of its remote location and lack of air connectivity. Here is a comparative analysis of the placement statistics of both NIT Jamshedpur and NIT Rourkela

Talking about CSE placements specifically, NIT Rourkela's average package for CSE is INR 21.87 LPA while NIT Jamshedpur's CSE average package is INR 26.63 LPA. NIT Jamshedpur seems to be a much better option for CSE as it has better placements and also a flexible academic scenario.

Before I talk about the credibility of both branches, let’s understand the basic difference between them. Geology is basically an observational science that tries to explain various phenomena and processes taking place at or near the surface of the Earth. On the other hand, Geophysics uses physical tools like Gravity, Potential, Seismic, Magnetic, etc. to study the interior of the Earth. It’s more like a branch of Geology itself. 

The coursework in Geological technology covers topics related to rocks, minerals, ores, volcanoes, mountains, oceans, glaciers, sediments, petroleum reservoirs, landslides, earthquakes, geoinformatics, and much more. The curriculum is similar to that of Applied Geology. The coursework in Geophysics comprises basic geological concepts along with detailed Geophysics concepts. Both branch students can opt for interdisciplinary courses as departmental electives. This initiative helps the students to gain an overall knowledge of Earth Sciences.

Placements-wise, both offer similar opportunities with the core recruiter being the same; the Energy Sector - Oil and Coal industry. Mineral exploration also offers core jobs to these two branches. The opportunities offered are equal and any difference stems from the individual's performance and not the branch’s credibility.

The majority of students are inclined towards research with the Geology students having an edge over Geophysical students in this aspect. For those seeking a management position or preparing for IAS, these two branches are the best owing to their light workload.
