The answer is based on the experience of my sister who joined IIT Bombay to pursue her Masters. She was enthralled by the IIT Bombay infrastructure and culture. IIT Bombay has a lot to offer in terms of food, sports facilities, good classrooms, good professors. The thing that excited her the most was the research culture of which the institute is a flag bearer of. She got to interact with professors with excellent research papers and awards. The professors motivated her a lot and said that success at IIT Bombay Is possible only if your work is helpful for society.

This impacted my sister a lot and she started working on a project related to the petrochemical industry. The project guaranteed to save 100 Cr for a company in a year. She worked hard and conducted almost 300 experiments to get the final result. Surprisingly, she was awarded the best paper award in the Industry Applications category, and 41st National conference on Fluid Mechanics and Fluid Power held at IIT Kanpur.

During her final day she had to complete her Masters' thesis and for this she selected a very tough professor for bher project to make it all the more challenging. The projects she chose were the most difficult but had the highest chances of getting a latent. Many peers advised her to reconsider but she was stubborn about it and amazingly enough she got the patent filed on 7th June 2017.

IIT Bombay helped her dream and achieve it. 

BITS is India's top private engineering college and therefore charges hefty fees to maintain its standard. Here is the detailed fee structure of the BTech program offered by the institute.

I hope my answer solved your query!

MSU is a public university owned by the State Government of Gujarat. It is the only University in Gujarat whose Vice Chancellor is from the royal family of Baroda and not the governor of the state. The departments available at the university include Arts, Education and Psychology, Commerce, Technology and Engineering, Law. Some courses offered by the various faculties of the university are tabulated below-

This is my personal experience-

I completed my B.Tech IT from MNNIT Allahabad a few years back. When I was in my second year, I contracted a serious bacterial infection and was bedridden for a month. Due to this, I faced a severe shortage of attendance. However, to take care of this, I contacted all my teachers and explained to them my case. They were all very understanding and cooperative. 

But when I attended a practical class some time later, one of my teachers called me to his office due to a shortage of attendance in his lectures. I then realized that I had forgotten to contact him, and explain to him my case. Despite trying to talk to him about my problem, he refused to listen to me and sent my name to the Dean Academic’s office (along with the names of others who had a low attendance in his lecture). I tried reaching out to the HOD, but it was too late by then. Ultimately, I had to sit for the supplementary exams.

The takeaway is to be aware and not miss your lectures, unless seriously ill. But if you face something like I did, make sure that your parents get in touch with the HOD and all your teachers, and explain to them about your condition in detail. There are some teachers who do not listen to the students’ problems and arrive at hasty conclusions, beware of them.

One of my friends shared his experience of being a student of IT in SOE. His first choice was CS during registration but he was given IT due to his rank. Initially, he missed CS and remained worried about being in a different branch. But he finally understood that IT was better than CS. 

The following points are based on his experience at the campus:

• The faculty members at CS are very strict when compared to IT.
• The administration level is also managed at IT. You will experience a lot of hassle in CS even if you want a sign on any application.
• The syllabus of IT is comparatively better than CS.

• Speaking of IT & CS in SOE, there is also a difference in the way both these courses are managed by the faculties. Both have amazing and experienced faculties taking care of the subjects and therefore it will not be fair to prefer one over another. 
• This is naturally because of the difference in subjects both the branches have and a different approach is needed for the faculties to explain them to the students.

It is also suggested by many seniors and experienced friends that you take a closer and detailed look at the placements of every year for both these branches at CUSAT before taking the call. There is always a slight difference in the placement every year depending on the industrial, market requirements, and interests of the students. 

The following table shows the placement statistics for the 2020 academic year at CUSAT:

Getting in touch with the students, faculty, and college staff is a good way to understand both the branches better and closer. Remember that you should not completely rely on your friends’ or seniors’ opinionated suggestions.
