A few years back, my friend had a rank of 13193 and he got Electrical and Electronics in Dayananda Sagar. So you can expect branches like EIE, EEE, ECE, TE, etc. Here are the recent cutoff trends at the institute.

You also have an option to change or upgrade your branch in the second round of counseling.

A few of my friends graduated from VTU and here are a few tips for you. The university was growing then while he was studying and was struggling to set up its name.

Following points is brief insight into VTU:

1. Few professors in VTU are really good in terms of delivering knowledge. A group of scientists is hired primarily for scientific research. They are doing quite good work in terms of quality scientific papers.
2. The university, in general, has all the facilities in terms of academics as well as extra-curricular. It has developed well-equipped labs, trained technicians, workshops, and design labs (supported by Dassault System France, NI, etc).
3. A newly developed open theatre is available for students to enjoy cultural functions. 
4. VTU has 5 hostels for boys and 1 hostel for girls. The rooms are equipped with AC and well-maintained. 
5. It has its postal service, medical service, confectionery stores, bus service, etc needed for a good campus.

VTU is in no way better than IIT Delhi or IIT Madras if compared, however, the environment is great.

It seems like you are a fresher to the college and desperately wants to change your branch Biotechnology, which is the most underrated branch of the college, compared to some other branch.

To be precise, a CPI of 8 is considered safe. Try to keep it above 8. But, if luck is on your side, even a CPI of 7.6-7.7 will help you out.

I would like to mention a few points that you should consider before switching your branch and perhaps, these are the reasons that make Biotechnology at MNNIT Allahabad amazing.

• Faculty: The faculty members are very good. They are comparatively young and therefore understand more of students’ problem. They are friendly and approachable, which is unique to the Biotechnology department.
• Class Strength: There are around 35 to 40 students in the class. Because of the lesser number of students in the class, all share a good bond within themselves as well as with teachers. This is significant at good and bad times.
• Research: The department is very active in the case of research. The department has received funding from various government agencies such as DBT, DST, UGC, MNRE, etc., and has published research papers in national and international journals of repute. Externally funded research grants of approximately above 1.5 crores were also generated by the department within a short span of time.
• The infrastructure is good and growing rapidly.
• Ample placement opportunities. Students are either placed in good companies or they opt for higher studies.
• Students from the department also succeed in exams such as GATE, GRE, CSIR-UGC (NET).

The faculty also frequently visits other research laboratories and research institutions in the country and abroad. Additionally, national as well as international conferences were held which were government agencies supported.

Among the above two institutes, IIIT Sri City is the better option, considering several factors like placement and overall development of students in the institute. The table below gives a brief level of comparison among the two institutes.

Key highlights:

• If you are interested in coding and computer science-related subjects, IIIT Sri City is definitely a better option.
• Although IIIT Sri City is also a new institute, the rate of growth of the institute is quite high in terms of infrastructure, placement, etc.
• The mentor cum director of IIIT Sri City is Prof. U.B. Desai, who is also the director of IIT Hyderabad. He is a man with a lot of knowledge and works best towards the advancement of the institute.
• Comparing these IIITs with VIT, they are better than VIT in many aspects other than the campus. Within the next 2-3 years, these IIITs will surely surpass VIT in every aspect.

Therefore, you should prefer IIIT Sri City as their first option, following with IIIT Guwahati for a B.Tech degree in CSE.

IIT Bhubaneshwar is at the 22nd rank in the NIRF 2020 ranking. However, there are many other IITs like IIT Madras, Delhi, Bombay, Kharagpur, and Kanpur among others, which are ranked higher than IIT Bhubaneshwar.

Looking at the parameter of placement in the CSE branch, it is quite impressive with a placement rate of 100%. Some reputed companies were present in the placement drives conducted in the college. In 2018, Adobe visited the college and offered the highest package, which was worth INR 38 lakh per annum. Similarly, Goldman Sachs had offered a package of 31.5 lakh to three students from the CSE branch.

The infrastructure required for the CSE branch is also quite well at IIT Bhubaneshwar. The college provides essential facilities like Wi-Fi network, computer laboratories, smart classes, library, and gymnasium.

The faculty is well-qualified and most of them are IIT alumnae and have Ph.D. The student to faculty ratio is 1 teacher to 40 students, which is not very impressive. However, the faculty provides students with elaborated notes and PowerPoint presentations to teach them in recreational ways.

Considering the academics and placement rate it’s clear that CSE at IIT Bhubaneswar is quite good.

IIT Bhubaneswar stands out among the second generation IITs both in terms of academics and placement. According to NIRF Ranking 2020, IIT Bhubaneswar was ranked 22nd among the engineering colleges of India.

Dual Degree in CSE from IIT Bhubaneswar provides students with both BTech and MTech degrees. The course duration is 5 years and dual degrees are mostly preferred by students who want to do research-based studies and further engage in academics.

The average cutoff required to get admitted for IIT Bhubaneswar for electronics in the JEE advanced was 1991-5690 for the academic year of 2019. However, the minimum marks required for getting into IIT Bhubaneswar for Electronics can’t be determined, as the cutoff ranks vary every year depending on the difficulty level of the paper, different caste, and gender. The papers for JEE advanced in 2016 were tough as compared to that of 2017. As a result, in 2016 the cutoff was lower than what it was in 2017. In 2017, since the paper was easy hence the candidates needed higher marks to achieve the cutoff.

With the level of difficulty of the exam, the cutoff marks for JEE advanced will be changing for the respective years but mostly it stays closer to the previous year’s cutoff. So the previous year’s cutoff rank is the best parameter to calculate your chances for admission.

IIT BHU is underrated primarily because of its infrastructure. There’s a lot of issues with this since it is a 100-year-old construction and since then, there have only been renovations all around the campus. Also, it has become an IIT only in the year of 2012 and started receiving hefty funds only since then. Over the years IIT BHU improved its infrastructure but it will take few more years to reach the same level as other IITs. After getting the status of an IIT, the institute is looking after the students’ facilities and spending a lot on the extra-curricular activities. It is surely underrated as of today because of the infrastructure, but hopefully, that will change in the coming years.
