Nirma University Ahmedabad: 1 Answered Question

Which college should I choose for a BTech - Nirma or Bennett University?

Raktim Tarafdar
Admin

Bennett University is a better choice for pursuing a B.Tech degree as the university offers B.Tech courses in a wide range of specializations whereas Nirma University only provides B.Tech in eight specializations. The highest package of Nirma University is INR 50.15 LPA offered by Google whereas the highest salary offered by Bennett University to a B.Tech CSE student is INR 1.2 CPA. Nirma University follows reservation criteria based on which it offers seats to B.Tech students and the fees per annum for the All India Category is INR 2,29,600. 

Bennett University's B.Tech fee structure is comparatively higher than Nirma University but it also offers placement assistance through various industrial collaborations like IBM, Apple, Unity, SAP, Microsft, etc, Selection at Bennett University is simply based on merit in Class XII scores for B.Tech degree courses whereas B.Tech applicants of Nirma University have to appear in JEE Mains Paper I additionally with qualifying marks in Class XII.
