How is the CSD course different from CSE course of IIIT Hyderabad?
The BTech degree offered in both the courses is similar so the foundation courses taught in the initial 2 years are exactly the same. From the third year, you will be asked to choose a lab where you will be conducting research. Students are given many options to choose from.
Some of these include the following:
- Robotics Research Centre
- Computer Vision
- Spatial Informatics
- Center for Data Engineering
So the third year witnesses additional courses that are specific to your branch. Both CSE and CSD students will be working on similar problems and will be publishing research papers in the 3rd and 4th years. In the fifth year, students have to write their thesis. One of my friends joined CSE and Robotics Research Centre and is very happy with the results.
What is difference between CSE and csd coures at IIIT Delhi?
If you have the option of choosing between a CSE and CSD course at IIIT Delhi, I will suggest you go for CSE. The only difference in these branches is the additional MS component which can be taken later if you want through a branch change.
CSD is a dual degree, meaning you will be awarded two degrees, a B.Tech in CSE and an MS by Research in CSE. It’s a research-oriented course wherein you will have to write research papers and an MS thesis. Students struggle to get their research papers published so the duration of the course isn’t fixed. Some might take more than 5 years to complete this program depending
Both programs are similar in terms of the job opportunities they offer and their curriculum. From the third year, CSD students have to take up an extra project every semester 3rd year onwards.
Even a CSE student can also opt for a B.Tech (Hons.) in CSE degree once he has completed two years of his course. He will be required to complete extra projects similar to the Dual Degree student.
How are the placements for CSD in IIIT Delhi?
Placements in IIIT Delhi are dependent on individual profiles and skills. The college can just invite good IT companies but the package they will offer depends on you alone. IIIT Delhi has many big shots coming for placements including Qualcomm, Microsoft, Amazon, Google, MathWorks, Dell, Synopsys, Adobe, IBM, Accenture, Complex Systems Laboratory, etc. Some of these companies may not allow CSE students to sit for placements but that is rare. As long as you fulfill a certain GPA criteria and clear the test you will be interviewed.
In order to clear the coding tests, one must be proficient in computer programming and have enough knowledge of DBMS, OS, and AMD development be it Android ios web. To add value to your profile, you must do internships, projects, research, and good grades.
The CSE placement percentage for the BTech course this year stood at 97.38%, so you don’t have to worry about placements at all.
What should I choose between CSD at IIIT Delhi and IT at DTU?
CSD and IT have practically the same core subjects. You’ll have a similar curriculum in either of the options. Unless you have a strong interest in the design aspect of CSD, the choice is mainly between the two colleges.
IIITD is very research-oriented. It has state-of-the-art research labs and facilities. You’ll be exposed to dedicated and active research groups over there. Academics are taken quite seriously. You’ll study your subjects in depth for the next 4-5 years.
At DTU on the other hand, academics are very laid back. You’ll get lots of time for extracurriculars. You can polish your skills in the area of your interest.
If you are sure to build a future in Computer Science, join IIIT Delhi. But if you wish to explore yourself, and polish your skills in some other field, join DTU.
