Which college should I prefer, RVCE (CS branch) or lower IIITs like Kota and Vadodara (CS branch)?

Since my sister studied at RVCE, I can give you information about it.

Placement:

• RVCE provides a lot of placement opportunities. If you score decently, you can easily get a double-digit package job in the campus placement. 
• Placement season starts from July till November, where all the good companies with good opportunities come for placement. However, you can expect placement opportunities in your last semester also. 
• These companies offer the lowest packages of 3-4 LPA. Thus, RVCE CSE is definitely good in terms of placements.

Academics:

• The faculties are not of top quality and hence, the academic quality. 
• You will have to practice self-study if you really want to have good knowledge of the subjects.

Exam Pattern: You will definitely score more than or equal to 90% if you solve 3-4 previous years semester endpapers.

Not commenting anything on lower IIITs since I don’t have much knowledge about it. But, if given a chance to join any RVCE or any lower IIIT like Kota or Vadodara, I would always go for RVCE.
