My brother was in the CSE branch of NIT Trichy and based on his experience, here are a few pointers:
You won’t ever regret choosing NIT CSE.

A close friend of mine is an alumnus of IIITM Gwalior and he was able to give me some information regarding the institute.
The curriculum for CSE at IIITM Gwalior is quite good. CSE students do not have much academic load. The only thing you need to concentrate on is focusing on problem-solving skills(like designing algorithms, etc.) through coding. You should work at least 4-6 hours per day to hone these skills online, especially during the first two years of engineering.
It is not difficult to score an 8.0 CGPA, but you need to put in your honest work. However, targeting 9.0+ CGPA can be a challenge.
One of my friends graduated from NIT Trichy and here’s what I got to know from him about the salary packages offered to students at NIT Trichy. It is considered the best NIT among all.

NIT Patna is a decent choice for your CSE. The faculty isn’t top-notch and won’t really go out of their way to guide and support you. The curriculum is as challenging as any other Engineering institute.
The placements are witnessing an increase year on year. During 2021 placements, the highest package of 44 LPA was offered to a single student from B.Tech CSE by Adobe. Companies like Microsoft, Google, Samsung, and Amazon visit the campus for IT recruitment. IBM also recruits candidates from CSE. The average CTC during 2020 placements stood at INR 8.93 LPA for the CSE department.
The campus life at NIT Patna isn’t really great and the infrastructure is also not the best. Patna, however, offers coaching facilities for CAT/ IES/ GATE aspirants. Also, the new Bihta campus of NIT Patna is expected to come into existence soon.
Overall, NIT Patna CSE is a decent choice. You will be responsible for enhancing and polishing your skills through online platforms.
Usually, CS is considered one of the finest branches in almost every college. Therefore, to meet the requirements a person should score well and get their seats reserved in the college.
From the past few experiences, it has been seen that the JEE Mains score matters immensely for your admission, if you are from a general category then your score should be mandatorily more than 80, and if you are from scheduled caste or scheduled tribes then 20-30 marks will also work.
Lastly, we can conclude that to get into the computer science branch in LNCT Bhopal you should be active enough to refer to the previous cut-off so that you can set your targets according to that.
