Which is better, BITS-Goa vs BIT Mesra?

A senior of mine from school is an alumnus of BITS Goa and he has all the respect for the institution. He has told me that BIT Mesra is a good place for someone who would like to pursue CSE, ECE. The placement is also pretty good there from what he has heard.

Coming to BITS Goa, it is a tier 1 Indian engineering institution. Most of the students from Indian engineering colleges practice computer programming for becoming computer engineers. There are packages of 5-50 LPA, depending on the skills of the applicants. These companies do not look for academic credentials. They are only interested in the GitHub and TopCoder profiles of the job applicants.

A lot of the BIT alumni end up being managers in industries, based on hard work and luck. The package would be around 5-15 LPA. Unlike in the previous case, these companies are heavily dependent on the academic credentials of the job applicants.

BIT Mesra is a 3 tier engineering institute. Most of the students who have completed their education from this institute end up working in working as employees in the IT companies that are service-based with packages of 3-4 LPA.
