One of my friends studied at IIIT Guwahati. According to him, you should think of joining IIIT Guwahati. It will be very beneficial especially if you are willing to study Computer Science Engineering at this institute. Finally, all this would completely depend on where your interests lie.

• Earlier, IIIT Guwahati had a temporary campus but as of now, it has established a permanent campus that is under construction.
• You will see that a few buildings are still being constructed with few complete ones.
• The location is also slightly isolated.
• However, if you are one of those students who enjoy the serenity on campus, you will enjoy it here.
• The labs are very well equipped and you will be working with some of the best state-of-the-art equipment and latest hi-tech gadgets.
• The lab assistants are also well-experienced individuals and will help guide you with great competence throughout your curriculum and your research work as well.

It is true that IIIT Guwahati is a relatively new institute but I will suggest you go for CSE at IIIT Guwahati as compared to NSIT for automation. It is definitely worth joining. You can think for yourself and make a decision accordingly. Good luck.

IIIT Guwahati offers only two courses currently in its undergraduate B.Tech program; ECE and CSE.

Currently, no cut-off CGPA exists above which you can apply for the branch change. Try to score as high as possible and try to be among the very top few of the branch. The higher your CGPA is, the better your chances are for a possible branch change.

It is suggested it would be better if you can aim for a CGPA of 9.2 and above.

But I would also suggest you not burden yourself with the grades and numbers too much and enjoy your studies as much as possible. Study well and strive hard for your success and definitely, you can do wonders at any branch.

I have got a few of my close friends studying in these institutes, here are some points according to their experience.

• Campus & Facilities- IIIT Lucknow being a new campus needs time to fully function and for good sports facilities. IIT Guwahati has a permanent campus and welly developed sports facilities.

• Infrastructure- Labs of IIIT Guwahati are well established and all the types of equipment you need for practicals and research are there.
• Location- The IIIT Lucknow area is being developed so you will only find rubble there while near the IIITG construction of IT Park will boost the internships and placements of IIITG.
• At IIIT Guwahati you will gain good industrial knowledge other than the academic part.
• Placements- CSE at IIIT Guwahati has good placements than IIIT Lucknow.

Recent Statistics:

CSE at IIIT Guwahati is a better option because of the placements and permanent campus.

My sister did her B.Tech from NIT Kurukshetra as it is one of the top-rated NIT and she had a wonderful time there.

So, I would suggest you to go for Electrical Engineering at NIT Kurukshetra. However to help you make a better decision here’s a comparison between the three colleges:

If you choose a better college over a branch then you will have an advantage during placements as companies would be aching to visit for hiring new students. You can have a better branch but it won’t matter as you wouldn’t get enough placement opportunities. Students from NIT are placed in some of the top multinational companies.

Having friends in both IIIT Guwahati and BITS Pilani, I can say that colleges are well recognized in India and abroad.

CSE and Mechanical are completely different from each other. CSE definitely has more advantages over Mechanical. It’s worth mentioning that CSE growth has been on a positive incline and will remain so. There is much more demand for CSE than that of Mechanical in today’s world.

Now coming to the second option giving the institute a preference then BITS Pilani is way too ahead of IIIT Guwahati. BITS Pilani has better international outreach than any IIIT so it will be really helpful if you have decided to study abroad for your higher studies.

The Mechanical branch of BITS Pilani is good for research and for higher studies too. So if you do not want to go into the corporate sector, Mechanical at BITS Pilani will be perfect for you.

The short answer is CSE at IIIT Guwahati. If you are primarily interested in programming and coding culture, CSE at IIIT Guwahati is the best choice. However, if you are strongly passionate about any branch then college must not make a huge difference.

I have friends studying in all of these colleges and honestly, they do differ according to their ranking and branch. But if you are keen on CSE then such factors become secondary.

Nevertheless, here are some things you must know before choosing.

• ME at NIT Silchar is also a great option if mechanical engineering is your passion. It has a better ranking among all these options.
• IIIT Guwahati has a great potential of growing to significant heights in the next few years. That’s why CSE at IIIT Guwahati is the best bet for now if you are keen on programming.
• ECE at NIT Agartala cannot surpass any of the above options because neither the ranking is better nor the branch.

Overall, IIIT Guwahati stands as the foremost priority if CSE is your choice. On the other hand, if you are still confused about the branch then go with ME at NIT Silchar without a doubt. Avoid ECE at NIT Agartala as the other two options are much better in terms of everything.
