The preference is always given to BITS Goa as it belongs to the most reputed family of BITS institute. One of my friends has studied there and he loves the campus from all aspects. The major reasons as to why BITS Goa is to be preferred are: Scope CSE has more job opportunities in the market as compared to other branches of engineering.  If you even go for a core organization in the chemical field; the highest package is not more than 6 LPA.  In the case of CSE, if you are into coding a good package can be cracked. The highest package is close to 1.40 crore in BITS Goa. The average also stands at a decent place.  The prominent recruiters are - ADM Argo, Adobe, Bajaj Auto, Capgemini, CGI, Cisco, DE Shaw, EXL Services, Razor Pay, Reliance Jio, Freshworks and Goldman Sachs. Faculty The computer science faculty cannot be compared with chemical engineering.  CS faculty is amazing having well-equipped knowledge in the field to deal with real competition. They all are efficient in imparting real practical skill set to their students in a proper manner. Campus Goa is a place people look out for holidays, and having a college in Goa makes it even more fascinating and attractive.  Certain limitations are also imposed on students. You cannot leave the campus before 5 PM and you should return back by 11 PM.  BITS Goa makes it a better option on all fronts whether its faculty, campus, or scope. Having this outlook will help you get to a good institute. The stream can be a point of interest but other factors also matter. Read More

Being an IITian, I can say most of my batch mates chose to opt for IITs mostly Mumbai or Roorkee, above the rest. One of my seniors chose to study at IIT Patna. It is a good institute and ranks #26 on the NIRF ranking portal.  As for a comparison you'd like to read the following points: Faculty- IIT Patna has a better faculty than ISM Dhanbad and most of the faculty members have PhDs and Dr. Pushpak Bhattacharya is the director there from the CSE dept. which has the best faculty at IIT Patna. He was amongst the 'Top 10 Machine Learning(NLP) Researchers in India'. which is well deserved by a man of his stature.  Infrastructure- As far as the departmental infrastructure is concerned, IIT Patna's CSE department has excellent facilities but equally good is ISM's Mech Department. The general infrastructure includes two hostels for boys and girls; a gymnasium; games rooms; a sports ground for football, basketball, etc. But ISM Dhanbad doesn't lag behind in this as well- it is built on 218 acres of land, has 2 auditoriums, 1 open-air theatre, swimming pool, and multiple eateries. Alumni Network- ISM is an old institute whereas IIT Patna is a new one. Hence, ISM definitely has a stronger and denser alumni base than IIT Patna. Here's a table of comparison too- Parameters IIT ISM Dhanbad IIT Patna Ranking #12- NIRF #26- NIRF Placement Rate 34.62%-65.06% 50% Top Recruiters Goldman Sachs, Phone Pe, Sprinklr, Udaan etc Microsoft, Google, Code Nation, Samsung etc Average Salary INR 7.95 LPA INR 14.76 LPA Highest Salary INR 43 LPA INR 38 LPA As far as life at these institutes is concerned, it'll depend on the sort of opportunities and peer environment you seek. Anwesha is the annual cultural college fest of IIT Patna and Srijan is that of ISM Dhanbad and if you'd ask the seniors they'd bet that Anwesha is hands down the winner. It is also the second-largest Cultural festival in the area. The colleges hold sports and cultural meetings as well, which are an IIT tradition. Both institutes have comparable infrastructure as well as clubs. So you may decide according to your location and needs. Read More

My friend enrolled in the CSE program at IIIT Delhi and it was a great decision so far. He got a JEE rank below 2000 and in truth, there were very few students with this rank in IIIT Delhi. Most of them had ranks below 5000. IIIT Delhi is a good institution with a rank of #56 on the NIRF rating scale and IIT Patna ranks #26 on the same. Here are some points to be considered: IIIT Delhi is not only better ranked, but also has better faculty, curriculum, and research facilities. Many students get selected by the GSoC too, IIIT Delhi has a high number of GSoCers. If compared to NSIT, IIT shines brighter. However, some of the NSITians get through one of the toughest exams in India i.e.Google APAC, which not many IITians from Delhi have cracked. All IITs in general have excellent technologies available and most of the learning is done through the internet. A degree from any IIT would benefit you if you'd apply for higher studies in MS, Ph.D., or an MBA.  It has good summer internship opportunities as well. IIT Patna however, has a shared alumni network and excellent faculty as well. The peer support at IIT Patna is good as well. Here's a table highlighting the CSE program at IIIT Delhi and IIT Patna- Parameters IIIT Delhi IIT Patna Placement Rate 100% 50% Average salary 17.31 Lakhs 8.14 Lakhs Highest Salary 43.31 Lakhs 52.50 Lakhs Tuition fee INR 3,75,000 INR 90,000 An IIT should be your choice before considering any of the NITs or IIITs. Although if you're getting the IIIT H then you must go for it. Any IIT will give you the brand name you seek, and it is recognized not only in India but abroad as well. The tag of 'IIT India' is well considered in international academic institutions and it doesn't really matter which state or city. Read More

One of my friends was a student of this institute, but he did not know about the 5 years dual degree program in IIEST Shibpur. He told me that no one even knows about this new university's dual degree course; thereby, if you love to get risks, then take admission to enter here. Besides, he told me that he was also unaware of the reputation along with the education quality of the other two institutes. However, in IIEST Shibpur, you will get immense learning opportunities; additionally, education quality is also not bad as it is an ancient institute. Rather it improves a lot after becoming INI. It is challenging to state which institute is better if the student doesn’t know the institute properly. Besides, it is also important to understand what is actually better as the thinking of a student. However, you are from outside of West Bengal, then IIIT Gwalior must be the first priority, although IIEST Shibpur is a reputed institute. The faculties of IIEST Shibpur are experienced enough, but most of them are Bengali. So, preference will be given to students from West Bengal, as the home state would be a great advantage. They will be able to gain all the opportunities like communication. It is because the students from West Bengal can speak in Bengali far better way than the others. If there is a comparison between IIIT Gwalior and Jabalpur, then the suggestion will be for IIIT Gwalior, as it offers better placement than the other. Besides, it also has vastly alleged alumni and knowledgeable faculties. Read More

Between these comparisons, NIT Jamshedpur is far better than IIEST Shibpur. However, the considerations can be made for the following facts: Faculty Research Quality Parameters As per MHRD Rankings, NIT Jamshedpur is ahead of IIEST Shibpur. Thus, there is something mapping considering the oldness of an institute with its goodness. If this fact is true, then many colleges would be better rather the best than the renowned IITs. The main thing is that the ultimate reputation and the growth of an institute generally depend on its alumni as well as funds that it gets from the Government because these two things are needed to make sure a good faculty structures. The following table gives a brief overview of these two institutes Criteria NIT Jamshedpur IIEST Shibpur Become NIT 2002 2014 Placement Statistics 90% 80% Highest CTC 12 LPA 9 LPA Lowest CTC 3.5 LPA 4.2 LPA IIEST is a more research-driven college like IISER, and 4 years Engineering Degree does not procure from this institute. Thereby, it is completely meaningless to go for 5 years course despite being interested in doing a Ph.D. in later years.  Fees at IIEST are more, as it offers one-year extra study. Most importantly, IIEST cannot be an IIT, as there is already one IIT (Kharagpur IIT) in the state, and Modi Government already declared that there would be only IIT in one state. Besides, Jadavpur is considered a competitor if there is a chance to set up another IIT in the state. Considering the above facts, the recommendation should be given for NIT Jamshedpur as it the best alternatives. Read More
