Which is the better branch in SOE, CUSAT: CS or IT?
One of my friends shared his experience of being a student of IT in SOE. His first choice was CS during registration but he was given IT due to his rank. Initially, he missed CS and remained worried about being in a different branch. But he finally understood that IT was better than CS.
The following points are based on his experience at the campus:
- The faculty members at CS are very strict when compared to IT.
- The administration level is also managed at IT. You will experience a lot of hassle in CS even if you want a sign on any application.
- The syllabus of IT is comparatively better than CS.
- Speaking of IT & CS in SOE, there is also a difference in the way both these courses are managed by the faculties. Both have amazing and experienced faculties taking care of the subjects and therefore it will not be fair to prefer one over another.
- This is naturally because of the difference in subjects both the branches have and a different approach is needed for the faculties to explain them to the students.
It is also suggested by many seniors and experienced friends that you take a closer and detailed look at the placements of every year for both these branches at CUSAT before taking the call. There is always a slight difference in the placement every year depending on the industrial, market requirements, and interests of the students.
The following table shows the placement statistics for the 2020 academic year at CUSAT:

Getting in touch with the students, faculty, and college staff is a good way to understand both the branches better and closer. Remember that you should not completely rely on your friends’ or seniors’ opinionated suggestions.

How is CSE (engineering) at Barkatullah University in Bhopal?
It’s better to not join Barkatullah University. The semester examinations are not conducted in time. The results are also published late. You won’t be able to apply for Govt. examination because of that. The faculties are not good. Also, not a single company visits the campus for placement. So, it’s better to join any private university for your CSE degree rather than joining BU.
What is the best choice, NIT Rourkela for CSE or IIT Kharagpur for civil engineering?
Comparing IIT Kharagpur with NIT Rourkela is a bit illogical considering the fact that IIT Kharagpur is among the top 5 engineering colleges in the country. Yes, NIT Rourkela CSE is good in terms of infrastructure and placements but it is yet to match the level of top NITs like NIT Trichy, NIT Surathkal, NIT Warangal and MNNIT Allahabad
IIT KGP is a brand in itself and is the other institute of all IITs. you shouldn't worry even if you are getting one of the least preferred branches here. This is because by working extra hard in the first year, you can easily upgrade your branch to a better one. Even if you fail to do so let me tell you that the coding culture here is very strong and even non-CS students can be seen coding.
Ultimately, I would suggest choosing IIT KGP mainly because of its high ranking, better crowd quality, IIT tag, and extensive alumni base.
Should I take IT at Jadavpur or Calcutta university CSE?
If you want to learn about Computer Science Engineering or IT, then the Science College of Calcutta University is the perfect place.
Faculty: (Winning Institution - Calcutta University)
- In India, there is no other Engineering college or institute that imparts such in-depth knowledge in the field of Computer Science Engineering as Calcutta University.
- There used to be a time when all three HODs of the Electronics Engineering at IIT Kharagpur/ IIEST Shibpur / Jadavpur University were Professors (MTech/Ph.D.) from Calcutta University Science College.
- If you check the faculty details of the best professors in Electronics or Computer Science in most of the reputed Engineering College in West Bengal, you will find that they are alumni of Radio Physics or Electronics department of the Science College of Calcutta University.
- In fact, most of the reputed professors at IIT Kharagpur/ IIEST Shibpur/ JU are from the Applied Physics/ Applied Chemistry departments.
Placements:
If you are looking for good placements in CSE, then after IITs/IISc/IIEST/NITs, VIT Vellore, BITS Mesra, or even Manipal is better than Jadavpur University.
Here is a brief overview of CSE at CU and JU.

If you have the knowledge and skills in CSE or IT, you don’t have to worry about placement. With proper skills, you can excel faster than even IIT graduates.
Should I go for CSE in Techno India College of Technology, Rajarhat, or UEM Kolkata?
Before choosing a college, you should ask yourself a few questions to determine which one is suitable for you. Here are some questions to consider:
- Can you handle rigid discipline or do you want your college to be a bit relaxed?
- Can you keep up an 80% attendance or are you a frequent class bunker?
- Can you give up fun and mischief for a better future or do you want to have fun and then have a mediocre future?
- Do you want 100% guaranteed placements with good salary or do you want 95% guaranteed placement with a manageable salary?
- Do you want to be trained for GATE, government jobs, and company interviews or not?
If your answers are "yes" to the former part of the questions, then UEM is the college for you. Although the travel route may be tough and discipline is rigid with stiff attendance requirements, UEM offers a variety of opportunities that can benefit your future. Here are some advantages of UEM:
- You can participate in IIT workshops, and competitions, and even go to America for science fairs.
- The fests are sophisticated and free of drinking and cheapness, providing a better environment for academic and professional growth.
- UEM offers a guaranteed placement with a good salary package, giving you a sense of security for your future.
On the other hand, if your answers are for the latter part of the questions, then Techno India may be a better fit for you. Here are some advantages of Techno India:
- The college is relatively relaxed with no strict rules, providing more freedom for students.
- There is huge fun with a rocking fest, including drinks and super celebrities.
- Although Techno India doesn't provide GATE or government job preparation, the college does provide standard training for company interviews.
However, it's important to note that while Techno India offers a more enjoyable college experience, your future may not be as secure. It's essential to put in the effort to ensure a good future.
In summary, UEM is a suitable choice for students who prioritize academic and professional growth, while Techno India is a better fit for those who value a more relaxed and enjoyable college experience.
