What are my chances of getting CSE in Thapar University with 72 in JEE Mains and 95% in CBSE?

VM
Vipul Mishra Posted On : July 8th, 2022
B.Tech Computer Engineering, Thapar Institute of Engineering and Technology (2021)

Getting CSE in Thapar University with 72 in JEE Mains and 95% in CBSE will be difficult. For CSE, Thapar University cutoff stays around 96 percentile. If you want to join the institute, you should take a drop year and prepare for JEE Main again. The required cutoff changes year to year, depending on different factors. So, try to score above 130 in JEE Main, to be on the safe side.

GS
Gautam Sinha Posted On : September 5th, 2022
MSc + BTech dual from BITS Pilani, Hyderabad Campus

CS in BITS Goa is better. It offers better placements compared to NIT Calicut. Companies such as Microsoft, Google, IBM, Amazon, and Uber visit BITS Goa placements. The average CTC offered to CSE students in the campus placement is INR 15-20 LPA. Almost every student of the branch receives recruitment through the campus drive. 

BITS offers better learning resources and facilities. The student crowd of the institute is excellent, owing to their no reservation policy.

NIT Surathkal IT is the better choice. It is among the best NIT in the country and offers great academics, placements, and facilities to students. There is not much difference between the course curriculum of CSE and IT. Almost all companies open for CSE at NIT K are also open for IT students. According to the highlights of NIT Surathkal placements, students of IT get an average CTC of around INR 10 LPA. The placement rate for the branch is around 95-100%.

Which college is better JUET Guna,UPES,IMS Ghaziabad,if i have CSE at all three places?

HN
Hardik Nagar Posted On : March 2nd, 2023
Systems Engineer at Infosys, Mysore

Based on your personal education experience, you recommend that if you have the choice between IMSEC Ghaziabad and UPES Dehradun, you should choose IMSEC. However, if you have received a specialization in CCVT from UPES, then you should consider attending UPES. The reasons why IMSEC is the better choice are:

  • IMSEC is located in the National Capital Region, which is a hub for startups, networking, and connecting with like-minded individuals. The location provides great opportunities to build a strong resume and gain industrial exposure. In comparison, Dehradun and Guna are relatively isolated.
  • The fees at IMSEC are significantly lower than at UPES, offering a better return on investment.
  • Both IMSEC and UPES are considered to be tier 3 colleges, meaning that students are likely to be placed in companies such as Infosys or Wipro. However, with hard work, skill-building, and networking, students have the potential to secure better job opportunities with product-based companies like Amazon, Flipkart, or Microsoft.
  • UPES Dehradun has a higher number of attractive female students, compared to IMSEC and Jaypee Guna. However, it should be noted that there are plenty of attractive girls in Delhi as well. Ultimately, IMSEC is the better choice (unless you have received the specialization in CCVT from UPES).

Which college should I choose between IIT, Hyderabad & IIIT, Hyderabad for a CSE course?

Raktim Tarafdar Posted On : July 13th, 2023

Had I been in your place, I would have chosen IIIT Hyderabad over IIT Hyderabad. While both colleges offer a good CS program, IIIT Hyderabad is the clear winner when it comes to CS. Consider the following points of comparison 

  • IIT Hyderabad is a new IIt, so choosing it just because of the IIt tag would be a blunder.
  • IIT Hyderabad is still in its development phase and its campus still needs a few more facilities to become full-fledged operating.
  • IIIT Hyderabad has a better religion and brand name among the IT giants and therefore its placement scenario is way better than IIT Hyderabad.
  • IIIT Hyderabad is well-known for its achievements in competitions like ACM ICPC and GSOC.

I have my cousins in both the institutes and from their discussions I have concluded that IIIT Hyderabad leads in CS opportunities.

What rank is required in JEE Advanced to get CSE in IIT Bombay?

PG
Pratik Gandhi Posted On : March 18th, 2023
B.Tech. CSE, IIT Bombay

To get CSE in IIT Bombay, you need a JEE Advanced rank of 60 if you belong to General Category. This rank keeps getting lower every year. If you are certain of studying CSE at IIT Bombay, then start studying without further hesitation. In case you are still not sure, I have a friend's experience that might help you make the decision. He was interested in Mechanical and was not sure about CSE. With a rank of 70, he went for Mechanical Engineering. 

Now there is a course at IIT Bombay that is compulsory for all freshers. The course comprises the fundamentals of Computer Science. Once he studied that, he became certain that he wanted to pursue CSE instead and requested a branch change. In fact, I know many who changed their branch after becoming aware of their passion and inclinations. So you don’t have to necessarily make a decision right now, and can always avail of the branch change option later on. But make sure to make an early decision. Also if your JEE rank is average then you can always change your branch later on. However, an important thing to keep in mind is that this branch change option is possible only if your first-year CGPA is up to the mark.

Firstly, it is important to keep in mind that old IIT institutes are highly esteemed. On the other hand, new IITs are also rapidly growing and have overtaken some of the old campuses. So, it is important to not avoid an institute just because it has a fairly new IIT campus.

From the given list, IIT Patna was developed 10 years ago and has quickly become a highly accomplished institute in such a short span of time.

Keeping the other institutes in mind, here is a brief description about IIT Patna and what it has to offer within the CSE department.

  • About 14 students from the department were part of the Google Summer of Code (GSoc), which is the highest number of students from the new IIT’s.
  • Students also get to participate in the interdisciplinary teams such as BAJA and ROBOCON that helps students in gaining exposure and provides them with a learning platform to discover and launch projects.

Faculty:

The faculty members are highly academic and provide students with the best learning experience by solving all their queries and paying individual attention to students. 

Student Life:

  • For students from the CSE department, they are given a chance to participate in the ACM-ICPC which is also called the Olympics of Coding on an international platform, where students from IIT Patna secured 72nd rank in the world and were amongst the top 3 in Indian institutes.

Which one is better for CSE: IIT Patna, IIT Mandi, IIT Jodhpur, IIT Bhubaneswar or IIT(ISM), Dhanbad?

Sayantani Barman Posted On : August 2nd, 2023

I am a CSE student at IIT Patna and I will try to justify why choosing IIT Patna for your

CSE is a good decision. Don’t base your choice on how old an institution is. 

All the new IITs like IIT Patna or IIT Jodhpur are doing exceptionally well, some are even competing against the old IITs. IIT Patna has a great campus and it has achieved tremendous success in a short span of time. 

CSE department has a learned and supportive faculty and great seniors. The teams have always performed exceptionally well in the ACM-ICPC and have even made it to the world finals. A good number of students clear the  GSoC( Google Summer of Code). 

NJACK club organizes tutorial classes and workshops on Web development, App development, Android, etc. It also organizes competitions like Capture the Flag, NWoC-an open source coding event, and other competitions throughout the year.

Other interdisciplinary teams which you can join are ROBOCON, Supra BAJA, HPVC etc. 

CSE alums at IIT Patna have made successful startups and others are working in good positions at top MNCs. Overall, the coding culture over here is excellent.

The placements for the CSE department are quite impressive. For 2023 placements, the highest package stood at INR 82.05 LPA. The average package stood at INR 35.57 LPA and the median package stood at INR 32.85 LPA. 98.65% of students from the CSE branch were placed.

In the end, whether you choose IIT Jodhpur, IIT Mandi, IIT Patna, or any other institution, the choice should be based on your personal preference. However, I would suggest you choose IIT Patna CSE as I am quite satisfied with my choice.
