Amity University Kolkata is a private institution situated in Kodampukur and was established in 2015. The university provides a wide variety of courses in different streams such as Science, Business and Management Studies, Engineering, Law, IT and Software, Arts, etc. BTech in CSE is one of the courses provided by the institute. The following are the factors that one should consider before joining CSE in Amity University Kolkata:

• Fee Structure

Since the institute is private the fee structure is not quite affordable for the middle class family. The institute comprises students from the upper-middle class and high-class families. The course fee for BTech CSE is Rs 1, 05, 500 per annum.

• Admission and Scholarship

The students are supposed to attend Amity Joint Entrance Examination and their scores in the 12th standard are also a deciding factor to grab the seats in CSE or in any branch the students are interested in. The scholarship facilities are offered to the students on the Merit list. Those students who scored above 90 percent in the 12th board examination could avail a 50 percent reduction from total fees and those students score 80 percent could avail a 25 percent reduction from total fees. This is available only in the first year. The students should maintain good CGPA to get the fee reduction throughout the course period.

• Faculties

Faculties are quite well experienced and supportive. Most of them either hold a Ph.D. or pursuing it presently. The faculties create an interactive atmosphere and employ different teaching methods which enhances the clarity of concepts taught.

• Infrastructure and laboratories

The institute was established in 2015. So, the infrastructure has a freshly built exterior. The CSE laboratories are fully furnished with brand new computers. But the labs are small.

• Placement 

All the placement activities are channeled from Amity University’s Noida campus. The highest salary package offered was Rs 28 lakhs and the average salary package was Rs 4 lakhs. Major companies in which the students placed were Amazon, Byju’s, L & T Infotech, ITC, Wipro, TCS, Infosys, etc.

NIT Trichy was placed as the top 9th institution by the NIRF in 2020. You can expect the cutoffs high.

The closing rank for CSE at NIT Trichy in the previous year is around 5300 for the home state and around 1300 for students from other states.

The above AIR is applicable for General Category students in detailed stats below.

The cutoffs will not vary that much however, there would be some changes every year accordingly.

I have a friend at NIT Jamshedpur, so I can give you a brief idea about the CSE department. 

The placement of the CSE department in NIT Jamshedpur somehow reached some new highs over the last few years. Students from the CSE department have a placement average of around 95%. 

Here’s a little highlight of the 2020 placement drive at the institute.

Although if you are aspiring for an MS or MBA, then NIT Jamshedpur is probably not the best choice for you. You will get ample time during vacations to prepare but the environment of the institute is not ideal for the preparation of these examinations. 

There are several groups of students, from the past few years, who have not qualified for examinations like these from the CSE department.
