What should I choose between IITBHU pharmaceutical and NITJalandhar CSE taking branch change at IITBHU into consideration? How tough will branch change be for us as the classes are likely to be online
IIT BHU is one of the top 10 IITs and is renowned for its rich alumni network and effective academic structure. But if you are interested in the CSE field, then opt for NIT Jalandhar. Institutes are equal in providing beneficial classes to students. The branch change is not that easy at II BHU; the competition level is very high, and only 10% of students with a high CGPA get the chance for a branch change. The classes will be conducted offline, which is much better than online classes. You can use the library for more references, and in-person classes are more interactive, which will help you improve your academic performance. So, it is better for you to choose NIT Jalandhar.
