Seeing your interest in both branches, IIEST has a wide scope of diverse cultures and you will find many students from all over the nation.
IIEST Shibpur offers great exposure in terms of academics as well as extra-curricular activities along with the interactive clubs and fun happening fests. It comes under the Government of India and is one of the NIT.
However, Aerospace Engineering is not a trending branch anymore and it was in the limelight a decade ago. To open up more opportunities, you will be required to pursue a Master’s or prepare for the competitive exams to get a decent job.
ECE at Heritage Institute is more prominent but being a private college, it is not up to the mark as compared to Aerospace Engineering. The placement opportunities at HIT are not good. Therefore, all you can do is to opt for IIEST, get a decent aggregate, and change the branch from Aerospace to ECE in the second year.
No, CSE at MAKAUT is not considered anywhere near good given its obsolete curriculum and pedagogy. The subjects taught have no relevance in today’s age and do not match the industry's needs. The situation of practical labs is pathetic and the infrastructure of the institute is deteriorating day by day.
The marking system of the exams conducted here does nothing to evaluate your knowledge of intellect. It just judges your capability to fill the maximum number of pages you can.
Ultimately, it’s the students that make the college more than anything so your college experience here will depend on your batchmates. Nothing can stop you from achieving great heights if you are determined to work hard and succeed.
Since both the colleges are considered highly reputable and among the best in the country, you should focus on the branch. The choice of the branch directly depends on your inclinations and future goals.
To make it easier for you I have explained each branch in short:
Electrical and Instrumentation:
Electrical and Electronics:
Although the choice depends on your own interests, EE has a better scope than EIE.
I have friends from both RV College of Engineering and MIT Manipal, civil engineering holds the same value from either of them. It is because they both follow the same curriculum and guidelines laid by UGC and AICTE. However, both of them hold an edge over each other in their own way. Here’s why:
The table below shows a brief insight of both institutes:

RV College of Engineering |

At the end of the day, your pool of interest matters the most. If you are getting your preferred branch, set the preferences that are more important to you. Are you looking for a great placement or great brand value? The choice is up to you.
Yes, you can get direct admission to Thapar University for a BTech. Students need to have a minimum of 80% on Boards and also have to appear for JEE Main.
Thapar Institute of Engineering and Technology Admissions to B.Tech and BE-MBA integrated programs are done on the basis of class 12th Board scores with a minimum 80% aggregate. Every course requires a minimum eligibility.
While the duration of B.Tech courses is our years, these integrated courses are of 5 years duration. The eligibility, however, is the same as cleared in science background with a minimum aggregate of 60%. Additionally, you should have appeared for national-level entrance exams.
Hope this helped you!
During the 2022 placements at BIT Mesra, the average package for B.E. CSE stood at INR 19.27 LPA. The median package stood at INR 16 LPA and the lowest package stood at INR 4 LPA. 113 students from the CSE branch were placed, out of 124 eligible students.
The figures were equally promising for the IT branch with the average package recorded at INR 20.58 LPA. Out of 59 eligible students from IT, 56 were placed. The top recruiters during the 2022 placements were Amdocs, BYJU’S, Cognizant, Daffodil Software, EY, Ericsson, Future First, Tech Mahindra, and Wipro, among others.
Thus, the average package for B.E. CSE and IT at BIT Mesra stood at 19-20 LPA during the placements last year. This is quite a promising figure.
It’s illogical to compare two programs as the choice of branches depends on individual preferences. I will share the limited knowledge I possess for IIT Hyderabad CSE.
Since I have no information on IIT Guwahati, I recommend you contact a senior and discuss basic details.
B.Tech in AI(Artificial Intelligence)
This course is somewhat similar to CSE except that you’ll be mainly studying courses on machine learning and AI. Students of this program have to be proficient in Maths, ML, DL, etc. These courses are compulsory and you will be assigned projects on the same topics.
B.Tech in CSE
Under this program, you will be studying CSE subjects like databases, operating systems, networks, computer architecture, etc. IIT Hyderabad’s fractal system will let you take AI subjects and work on areas of ML and AI as well. So you are free to choose your research area.
Ultimately, you should determine what interests you and then only decide what to take. It’s better to research everything before making the final decision.
Artificial Intelligence is a specialization that is expected to be in high demand in the near future and its scope is yet to be determined. I don’t think it’s safe to go for a newly launched field that too from a new IIT. The program and institution both lack the necessary credibility. I would recommend you go for a general branch at a new IIT, a specialization like AI from a well-reputed institute. There are many factors one should consider like faculty, subject content, etc before going for a new specialization.
Mechanical at IIT Guwahati on the other hand is a very safe choice considering the high credibility of the long-standing Institute.
My cousin was a part of the placement team of IIT Roorkee and shared a few things.
A few top recruiters that visited IIT Roorkee this year for placements are
Apart from the above companies, there are tech-startups that visit the campus for hirings.
