Bachelor of Technology [B.Tech] (Computer Science and Engineering) From IIIT Vadodara, Gandhinagar

If you have a choice between IIIT Vadodara and any other well-established NIT or IIIT for a Btech in CSE/IT, you should go for the latter as IIIT Vadodara lacks proper infrastructure and resources. However, studying B.tech in CSE at IIIT Vadodara is a rigorous course that offers different course content from other colleges, making students good engineers. The professors put in equal amounts of hard work to deliver their content in a professional manner, and there are ample resources available online for students. 

IIIT Vadodara is a good option as it provides exposure to both theory and industrial practice, and the institute has improved immensely. The placements are also getting better, with tech giants recognizing IIIT Vadodara and aiding in projects through developer student clubs and Mozilla student club

CSE at IIIT Vadodara is definitely a better option than CSE at Nirma University.

• Nirma University offers Computer Engineering while IIT Vadodara offers CSE which draws a fine line of difference for the CSE aspirants.
• IIIT Vadodara provides a distinguished course and curriculum. Students in other colleges are exposed only to mainstream engineering subjects. In contrast to them, IIIT Vadodara is parallel to that of IIIT-H, offering core courses from the beginning of the first year itself.
• IIIT-V provides students with an exceptional background in coding which is not likely presented at Nirma. Students take part in competitive coding on sites such as HackerRank, CodeChef, etc. Each year several students get selected for GSoC from IIIT-V.
• The faculty here is highly qualified with most of the professors holding Ph.D. degrees from renowned institutes. They are cooperative and provide proper guidance to the students. Daiict is the mentor institute of IIIT Vadodara. Many faculties pay their visit from Daiict.
• The placement opportunities are decent at IIIT-V. Students get internship opportunities from Atos, TCS, etc.
• In spite of not owning a permanent campus, the facilities provided at IIIT-V are satisfactory. The basic requirements such as proper AC labs and classrooms are fulfilled here.
• IIIT-V is known for conducting regular technical workshops.
• The hostel facilities at IIIT-V are better in comparison to other colleges.
• More importance is given to academics due to which co-curricular activities are few.

The ‘IIIT’ tag has influence therefore opting for IIIT Vadodara would be better than opting for Nirma University.

If you are not looking at the branch, then you should think about going to SVNIT for Mechanical. Having friends study in both the institutes, I might be able to provide some details about them.

However, if you have decided that you would like to go for computers and if you could handle that field, IIIT Vadodara is a pretty good choice.

But many people will also advise you to not compare the two branches as they are quite different. NIT Surat is a better option facility wise but let me tell you that getting a job in the mechanical core is quite difficult. A lot of students will also opt for software fields.

Placement-wise, IIIT Vadodara is the best as you can get a lot more than what you might be looking for in Mechanical. Hope this helps.

Before selecting among institutes, you should decide which branch to opt for. As per the question asked, you must have an interest in both EE and CSE at the two specified institutes.

The points followed will give certain guidelines, based on which you can come to a conclusion.

• CSE has a much better placement opportunity in the private sector all over India. But for electrical engineers, there is a good scope in the government sector.
• Considering the reputation of institutes, NIT Hamirpur is a much better institute than IIIT Vadodara.
• In NIT Hamirpur, the alumni base is obviously much stronger than that of IIIT Vadodara.
• The campus life too is much better in NIT H. The only disadvantage is its location with no direct access to the city. On the other hand, Vadodara is a well-established city with proper communication to other cities. But, Hamirpur is not as bad a location as Mandi, and so is somewhat accessible.
• NIT Hamirpur has one of the most beautiful campuses in India. So, the four years of engineering are very spent inside the campus of NIT H. No one regrets being on the campus by any means.

Considering the above points, it can be deduced that EE at NIT Hamirpur is a better option, having a better college reputation and good campus life.

It all depends upon you, how you want to make your future and what amount of hard work you are willing to put in. I can give you some information regarding NIT Hamirpur, as my brother is a student there.

Every college has its advantages and disadvantages. The same is the case with NIT Hamirpur. Though the college is situated in a very beautiful place with a welcoming infrastructure, the environment is also very appealing but it lacks industrial exposure that is one of the major disadvantages.

Here is a brief comparison between NIT Hamirpur and IIIT Vadodara.

So it is highly recommended that you should compare the colleges along with the desired branch and then take the appropriate decision.
