A few of my friends graduated from both these institutes mentioned above and here are some things they shared about them.
Though a lot of people have always discouraged the ones taking admission to the Derabassi campus. They feel the Patiala campus of Thapar University is far better.
You can study hard and change your stream by scoring good marks in your first year. And there is always an option for personal counseling.
Particulars | Derabassi | Patiala |
Total fees | 13.23 Lakhs | 13.23 Lakhs |
Placement percent | 90% | 80% |
Highest salary | INR 22 LPA | INR 25 LPA |
Average salary | INR 9 LPA | INR 6 LPA |
Lowest salary | INR 4 LPA | INR 3.5 LPA |
Top recruiting company | Microsoft, Amazon, Accenture, etc. | Apple, Microsoft, Google, JPMC, etc. |
You might get into CSE if your JEE mains score is above 75 in the last round. But even if you don’t, study hard in the Derabassi campus as it will not disappoint you no matter what others say or claim to know.
Admission to IITs is done through JEE and GATE while UPSC CSE is held to recruit IAS, IPS, and IFS in the government. The IIT-JEE is the most difficult exam in India and the second most difficult exam in the world, the UPSC exams, and the GATE are ranked third and eighth in the world, respectively.
The highly competitive and coveted IIT-JEE witnesses over 1.2 million hopeful candidates every year for just 11,000 seats in 23 IITs, making the acceptance rate a mere 1%. The exam demands continuous efforts for more than two years and requires a high level of aptitude and commitment.
UPSC civil services exams are a gateway to the coveted Indian civil services. These comprise multiple rounds, an exhaustive syllabus, and rigorous preparation across various subjects making it quite difficult too. The clearance rate is in the range of 16-18%, making it one of the most demanding tests that require critical thinking in addition to strong soft skills to crack the interviews.
Yes, BITS Pilani does get international offers for placements. The institute has a strong reputation for producing skilled and competent engineering graduates, and as a result, many top companies from around the world visit the campus for placements. Over the years, BITS Pilani has established partnerships with numerous international organizations, providing students with opportunities for international internships and employment.
Additionally, the institute has a strong alumni network, with many graduates working in top positions in renowned multinational corporations. These factors contribute to the institute's reputation for providing excellent placement opportunities, both in India and abroad.
IIIT Allahabad ECE is the best among these. It has a better course structure. The infrastructure and facilities are better as well.
IIIT Allahabad has one of the best coding cultures in the country. Even as a student of ECE, you can learn to code and have decent placement opportunities in the IT sector.
IIIIT Allahabad ECE average package is INR 12.5 LPA. More than 85% of students of the branch get offers from dream companies. ECE MNC companies such as Qualcomm visit the campus placements.
I know a few people from both New Horizon College and DSATM. So I will try to give you an idea about them based on what I heard from my friends at the institutes.
New Horizon College of Engineering:
One of my friends was part of the ECE branch at New Horizon. She had a great time at the institute. The faculty, lab attendants are quite supportive. They have working faculties even on Sunday. So, if you missed any classes during the week you can catch up on that. You will have ample freedom at the lab. The labs are well-equipped with the latest instruments and computers.
Dayananda Sagar Academy of Technology and Management:
Comparably DSATM doesn’t offer such facilities. A friend of mine had to do her final projects using external resources, as the computers provided by the institute didn’t have the minimum requirements. Her project guides and her professors were not that supportive either. But in terms of placements, DSR does offer better facilities.
Here’s a brief comparison of both of these institutes.

Hope this gives you an idea about the institutes.
Both IMT Ghaziabad and SIBM Pune are renowned B-Schools across the nation and offer good education to their students. But IMT Ghaziabad offers a superior campus life and learning experience, alongside great in-campus placements compared to SIBM Pune. Established in 1980, IMT Ghaziabad has earned a lot of recognition for its unique curriculum and teaching support, which helps students develop the skills needed in the management sector.
As a result, the demand for IMT Ghaziabad graduates is higher than those of SIBM Pune in the corporate realm. So, it will be beneficial for you to pursue an MBA from IMT Ghaziabad.

NIT Calicut stands among the top NITs where you will get a lot of exposure to extracurricular activities. As it’s a government college, the fees will be relatively low as compared to private universities like VIT Vellore.
On the other hand, VIT Vellore isn’t that great institute plus being a private institute the fees is quite high for most middle-class students. If you choose Mechanical here then you can go for two different paths.
Categories | Mechanical at NIT Calicut | CSE at VIT Vellore |
Course Fee | 5.48 lakhs | 7.83 lakhs |
Highest CTC | 20 LPA | 20 LPA |
Average CTC | 9 LPA | 6-8 LPA |
Recruiting Companies | L&T, Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan, Tata Motors, etc. | Flipkart, Oracle, HP, Dell, etc. |
At last, it all depends on your interest and caliber to do well on various career paths. However, if you are inclined towards CSE only then VIT is quite a good option because placements are pretty good there for CSE. Some of the major recruiters include PayPal, Microsoft, Amazon, Morgan Stanley, etc.
ISM is good because its tag helps in getting better opportunities in the future. If you're average at coding, even then do not worry because at ISM you will anyway get good packages. Being a government college, the syllabus at ISM Dhanbad is better.
ISM has a placement rate of 100% for CSE in IIT Dhanbad. If you're planning to study abroad then the IIT degree will matter greatly for admission to any foreign University.
As for BITS Pilani, surely it ranks among the top educational institutes in India for engineering. It is on par with the top IITs and the placement rate is 100% like at ISM Dhanbad.
The campus keeps getting renovated and holds a photographic charm with state-of-the-art facilities. The crowd is amazing as well. You can decide based on your location, future goals, preferred weather if you will- because both institutes are at par with each other.
KJ Somaiya is better than FORE School of Management. FORE is mostly known in the Delhi NCR region. While KJ Somiya is well-recognized throughout the nation.
For freshers, FORE is a better option, especially in Marketing specialization. KJ Somiya has a better peer group with more experienced students. It is a good option for both Marketing and Finance.
KJ Somiya placements are pretty good. According to the 2022 placement report, the average CTC for the institute had been INR 10 LPA. Situated in Mumbai, KJ Somaiys will offer you better opportunities and exposure.
