The IT degree at IIIT Allahabad is considered one of the best in India, and it is aligned with the CSE curriculum from the best IITs and NITs in India. The professors are a mixed bag, with some highly qualified, doing good research, and teaching well, while some may be uninteresting. However, with some self-motivation, the academic landscape is quite good.
IIIT Allahabad has a great culture for programming, which can help you become a serious developer. The infrastructure is good, the campus is green, and the architecture is impressive, with the added benefit of being centrally air-conditioned.
On the downside, the city life in Allahabad is not great, especially if you come from a metro city. You may experience a cultural shock. The research environment is not exceptional, and there are only a handful of students aspiring to pursue higher education. You will find yourself in a batch of more than 200 students, in which you have to create your own identity. The weather is terrible, with extremely hot summers and cold winters (although some people may like the winters). The sports infrastructure is not the most amazing one.
In summary, here's the verdict:
From the above-mentioned universities, GLA Mathura is a better option for Btech in CSE than Galgotia University.
The table below gives a brief overview of both institutes:

Galgotia University-
GLA University- (Winning Institute)
To be successful in the future, you should choose the institute based on the review of the faculty rather than infrastructure.
My brother completed his CSE at Thapar University. He was also planning to take a drop initially. But after doing a lot of research and consulting others, he decided to go to Thapar University. It is a prestigious and well-reputed institution.
My brother felt he couldn’t handle the pressure of entrances and preparation any longer. Besides, the placements at Thapar University are at par with other top institutions like PEC and ISM Dhanbad. Even the education system and reputation of Thapar University are good.
According to my brother, if you have the courage and determination, you can take a drop and try for the IITs or BITS Pilani. But as far as Thapar University is concerned, it has a good infrastructure, good facilities, and amazing seniors. It is better than most NITs (barring a few) and also has a strong alumni network. Therefore, you won’t regret joining Thapar University for your CSE.
The college life at IIT Mandi is very poor because of the remote location. You will not be able to experience urban college life. The branches are not at par with the Mechanical and Electrical branches of IIT Indore and Jodhpur.
CS at IIT Mandi is decent though. Despite being new, IIT-Mandi has recorded an increase in placement over the past five years. IIT Mandi CSE average salary increased from 14.79 LPA in 2018 to 33.68 LPA in 2022. IIT Mandi CSE placements statistics have been tabulated below| Total Number of Students | 86 |
| Eligible Students | 84 |
| Number of Students Placed | 83 |
| Number of Placement Offers | 103 |
Amazon, Microsoft, Codenation, DE Shaw, Adobe, SalesForce etc are few recruiters that offered decent packages.
IIT Delhi has a much greater brand value as compared to IIIT Delhi. IIT D is superior in many aspects, one of which is campus life.
I have many friends in IITD Textile. They bagged foreign internships in the IT sector during their second year.
The coursework for Textile is very manageable. You’ll get ample time to practice coding on your own. Don’t worry about branch change. Even for a career in CS/IT, self-practice will get you through. Also, opt for the open electives offered at IIT Delhi. You’ll ace CS/IT placement tests, and secure a good job.
Thus, I would recommend you choose IIT Delhi Textile over IIIT Delhi CSE.
Thapar University offers BE in Computer Engineering (COE) and Computer Science Engineering (CSE). According to some of my friends studying there, COE is a better course than CSE. So, I would be sharing some facts about COE, which might be helpful for you.
| Categories | COE at Thapar University |
| Course Fee | 13.23 lakh |
| Highest CTC | 28 LPA |
| Average CTC | 10-11 LPA |
| Recruiting Companies | Microsoft, Morgan Stanley, IBM, Wipro, etc. |
Having said that, the placement percentage at Thapar University usually ranges up to 100% for the COE department. That means, the placement offer is not a very big issue when considered separately. However, in terms of the package, the offer ranging from INR 14 LPA to INR 15 LPA is extremely difficult. Most essentially, you will have to master the technical domain.
CGC Landran is an older college with a better reputation than Chandigarh University simply because more people are aware of it. Whereas Chandigarh University is a newer institution with the same owner.
However, there are some significant differences between CGC Landran and Chandigarh University -
CGC Landran is a college affiliated with another university. This means that your DMCs, degree and other formalities will take some time. Whereas Chandigarh University is a deemed university, you can get all of these documents quickly.
Because Chandigarh University is a university, they have the freedom to change its syllabus and rotate its subjects in response to industry demands, which CGC Landran does not have.
Placements at CGC Landran and Chandigarh University are all the same because they all take place at the same time.
Chandigarh University has a growing campus with 1 or 2 buildings being built every 6 months, whereas CGC Landran is a fully constructed campus. CU is also very developed now, with over 15 food joints and cafeterias, which is fantastic. You can decide for yourself by visiting both campuses.
Teachers at CU are much better than teachers at CGC Landran because they are paid more. Because a university pays its teachers more than a college. And it goes without saying that the more you pay, the more you get.
CGC is the location. Landran is in a small city near Chandigarh, and buses to Rajpura, Patiala, Sirhind, and Kharar are not readily available due to the longer time intervals between them. CU, on the other hand, is directly on the Chandigarh-Ludhiana national highway, with a bus leaving every 10 minutes for either Chandigarh or Ludhiana. For Patiala students, CU is closer to Patiala than CGC, even though CGC is closer in distance.
Overall, they are similar institutions, but the distinction between a college and a university cannot be overlooked. If you can, go for CGC; if you can't, CU is the better option.
Yes, you should definitely choose Asansol Engineering College to pursue your studies in CSE. In recent times, Computer Science and Engineering have become one of the best branches in this institute.
The recent placement statistics for the institute are as follows.

Asansol Engineering College |
|
Highest CTC |

So, going by the above-stated fact it is safe to say that Asansol Engineering College is a great option for pursuing a degree in CSE.
Having a few friends from both institutes I might be able to share some facts about both the institutes. Chemical Engineering at UICET is better than Chemical at Thapar University or CSE at CCET.
| Categories | Chemical Engineering at UICET | Chemical Engineering at Thapar University | CSE at CCET Chandigarh |
| Course Fee | INR 70,079 | 13.23 lakh | 2.45 lakh |
| Highest CTC | 18 LPA | 15 LPA | 12 LPA |
| Average CTC | 6.31 LPA | 7 LPA | 4-5 LPA |
| Recruiting Companies | Honeywell, Reliance, Pfizer, Piramal Healthcare, etc. | Reliance, GAIL, ONGC, GlaxoSmithKline, etc. | Infosys, Godrej, L&T, HCL, etc. |
Your preference order should be Chemical Engineering at UICET> Chemical at Thapar University> CSE at CCET.
BITS Pilani CS is better. It offers better academics and placements to the students. As per the recent highlights of BITS Pilani placement, students of CSE receive an average CTC of around INR 17-20 LPA. Microsoft, Goldman Sachs, Uber, etc. are some of the major recruiters that take part in the campus placements.
