What should I choose, VJTI for Computer Science or BITS Goa for Chemical?
My friend also faced the dilemma of choosing between VJTI and BITS Goa. He ended up choosing VJTI because of the following reasons.
- VJTI offers a renowned CS curriculum with a strong focus on practical learning.
- BITS Goa may have a higher average salary during placement, but placements for CS at VJTI are also pretty solid. A total of 401 BTech students have been placed till now in 2024. The highest package was secured by a BTech Computer Science student which stood at INR 57 LPA with the average package being INR 20 LPA.
- VJTI has strong industry connections and easily offers students research and internship opportunities in top firms.
- BITS Goa also offer most of such programs in dual degree format which may be uncomfortable for some students.
- Mumbai being a tech hub can also be beneficial as VJTI CS students are to an ecosystem of networking opportunities and jobs.

If you want to develop yourself during your undergrad studies, Manipal University Jaipur is an excellent choice compared to Nirma University. Here are some reasons why:
- Manipal University Jaipur has students from all over the country, providing an opportunity to meet people from diverse backgrounds. In contrast, Nirma University mostly has students from Gujarat.

- MUJ provides hostel facilities with great infrastructure opposite the campus. Hostel fees might seem slightly expensive, but the facilities provided are excellent, including a half-size Olympic swimming pool, indoor sports, and great food.

- The centrally controlled AC/heater works only from 6 pm - 6 am on weekdays, depending on the weather.

How is MAIT?
If you want to simply study there, then you may enroll. The new faculty members might not be very efficient at teaching but the older ones are excellent in their subjects.
The campus has a huge playground which is accessible only during the break. If you love natural, rustic surroundings, then you'd love what's outside the campus because it is situated amidst a rural community.
There is no interaction between seniors and juniors all throughout the first year. However, if stay in the hostel then maybe you will get some of it. If you're looking forward to joining some extracurricular activities apart from the drama club and or a tech club, then to your disappointment you will notice that the crowd is too unenthusiastic but you might get used to it.
If your future dreams include a CSE-based career then you can join MAIT because it's one of the best colleges in Delhi for it. If you need more options then, you can also go for Thapar's electronics/electrical program wherein the spot round you can choose between MAIT or USICT.

You should definitely study CSE at NIT Raipur.

A job at the end of four years to begin your career (90-95% of people will get a job).

Furthermore, NIT Raipur has the authority to set and change the curriculum in response to industry demands. The highest package recorded during NIT Raipur placements in 2022 was INR 2 crore per annum. Facebook provided the most generous package.
However, at NIT Raipur, some of the highest-paying companies have begun to visit the campus, making it an appealing option for B.Tech students.
