Which one is best: CSE/IT at NIT Surathkal, NIT Trichy, DTU, IIIT Allahabad, or BITS Hyderabad/Goa?
If I was to rank the above colleges, then the order would have been
- BITS Goa(CSE)
- DTU(CSE)
- BITS Hyderabad (CSE)
- NIT Surathkal(CSE)
- NIT Trichy(CSE)
- IIIT Allahabad (IT)
- NIT Surathkal(IT)
- DTU(IT)
Now, I am sure you would want justification for the above ranking so here it is
- BITS Goa has the advantages of its Bits tag, excellent coding culture, has developed some great coders from the last 2-3 years, splendid location and amazing campus life.
- DTU is one of the best colleges in India with a decent coding culture and has the advantage of being located in the capital. Additionally, it has the advantage of an extensive alumni pool, location in the national capital, and a good alumni base
- BITS Hyderabad is almost similar to BITS Goa in all aspects as the placements conducted are centralized
- NIT Surathkal and Trichy are the oldest and best NITs of India offering great placements, especially for the CSE branch.
- As far as the IT field is concerned, IIIT Allahabad is superior to all NITs except NIT Warangal, Surathkal, and Trichy.
Ultimately, the final decision is based on various parameters and personal preferences should be given due consideration.
Comments
CSE/ IT is a preferred branch but the colleges offering these streams need to be compared on the basis of the following parameters Fees, Seats, Placements, Number of companies visiting the campus, and Cut-off.
The aforesaid parameters can be justified in detail below for both CS and IT separately.

NIT Surathkal has a fee range of Rs. 4.94 Lakh for computer science/ information technology
-
NIT Trichy provides the course at Rs. 5.24 Lakh.

The other factor that is to be concerned is definitely the ranking and reputation of colleges in the marketspace. Both the NIT’s are exemplary performers in the field of engineering. IIIT focuses primarily on information technology. BITS in comparison to all is a private institute that can be a little behind in the race compared to major government institutions.
