Rather than choosing between institutes, choose the branch you are inclined towards. Determining your future prospects is an indispensable factor when choosing your college. You need to find out what you are willing to do after getting your degree; pursuing higher studies or getting employed.
Had I been in your place, I would have chosen NIT Surathkal because of the branch CSE you are getting. In this high-tech era, CSE is in full bloom and is one of the most coveted branches. Someone who is getting CSE at an NIT should never give that chance up for any other branch that too at a new IIT.
Here is why one should go for NIT Surathkal
The following points prove enough that NITK Surathkal CSE is better than IIT Dhanbad EE. In fact, I would have chosen IIT Dhanwad CSE over electrical or other core branches at old IITs. however, my answer is not directed towards someone who has a particular interest in Electrical, for them IIT EE is the best.
2nd gen IITs like Patna and Bhubaneswar are comparatively lower ranked than Roorkee, Guwahati or Kharagpur. However, they are making continuous progress in terms of both academics and placements. Computer Science Engineering requires basic infrastructure, which is well provided at these 2nd gen IITs.
Here are the 2023 B.Tech CSE placement statistics at IIT Bhubaneswar:
Particulars | Statistics (2023) |
---|---|
Average Salary | INR 25.18 LPA |
Highest Salary | INR 55.75 LPA |
Median Salary | INR 20.31 LPA |
Lowest Salary | INR 9 LPA |
% Batch placed | 100 % |
As evident from the table above, IIT Bhubaneswar records quite decent placements in B.Tech CSE, which is equal to (and sometimes more than) the placements of lower branches at top IITs.
Thus, I would recommend you opt for CSE at 2nd gen IITs like Patna and Bhubaneswar over choosing a lower branch at top IITs like Roorkee, Guwahati, Kharagpur.
CS certainly holds more importance compared to IT in all the reputed engineering institutes irrespective of everything else.
IT at NIT Raipur is a good enough option to choose especially because of its HOD. He is very sincere and too much dedicated to the students and their well-being. Unlike many other departments and colleges of our country, he takes a special interest and personally looks into every student’s growth and academic performance. Starting from the appointment of the teachers for the various subjects to the handling of the detention lists, he does it all.
Moreover, the faculty here at NIT Raipur is overall a young group of teachers, which basically means they are way more enthusiastic and energetic. A couple of teachers from other departments also take a few subjects here at times.
Even the placements are quite well known here and although placements eventually depend on your throughout performance and scores. The following table shows the placement statistics of both institutions:

The top recruiters are Google, Cisco, Amazon, Microsoft, Dell, IBM, Verizon, Accenture, Wipro, Flipkart, Adobe, etc.
Both these colleges provide quality education with successful placements. The students pursuing a course in any of these colleges will be an excellent choice.
One of my cousins was in a similar dilemma last year when she had to choose between PEC and NIT Kurukshetra. Both the colleges are premier engineering colleges offering excellent education and are head-to-head in most factors. However, you may want to consider the following points before making the final decision
The final decision depends on personal factors like location and future prospects. If you are from Chandigarh choosing PEC will be better.
Civil Engineering and CSE are the trendiest branches as reckoned by the leading companies. If you will opt for a better college over a preferred branch for pursuing engineering then it is suggested to switch your opinion.
Seeing this, you must choose Civil Engineering at Jadavpur University over KGEC. Following are the reasons for choosing the same:
It is suggested that you choose your preferred stream if you ultimately have planned on pursuing higher studies like GATE, GRE, etc. If you are planning on doing MBA or some job then JU would be the best fit.
You should keep in mind that the name tag of your undergraduate institute always stays with you hence choose wisely.
I think choosing CSE at IIT Bhubaneswar is a better option than opting for CSE at IIT Ropar.
When choosing between NIT Pune and IIIT Jabalpur, there are a few things to consider based on your goals and priorities. Here are some points to keep in mind:
Placement:
Research opportunities:
Course options:
Location:
Considering these factors, you can decide which institute suits your requirements best. If you are looking for good placements, NIT Pune could be the better option. If you are interested in research and want to pursue an MTech course, IIITDMJ could be the better option.
Chandigarh University has proved to be a world-class institution in the last few years. It also provides students exceptionally trained in areas of Management and technology. Its CSE department is very well known for its curriculum and placements.
It also provides specialization in the CSE branch and one of them is Specialization in Cloud Computing. It’s a four years degree in Engineering (Honors)
You can go for the following degrees in the specialization Cloud System Administrator, Cloud Architect, Cloud Engineer, or Cloud Security Manager.
The choice depends upon your area of interest and the subjects that you enjoy studying. If you are inclined towards hardware and communication, ECE is the perfect fit for you. But if you like dealing with software, go with CSE. Both fields have ample growth opportunities.
Rather than choosing the institute, you need to select the branch of your interest. Following are the points to be considered.
