What should I prefer: IT at NIT Raipur or a CS at IIIT Jabalpur?

AR
Aditi Roy Posted On : September 12th, 2023

Nowadays, engineering aspirants give more importance to the brand and tag of the college rather than the academic ambiance they offer. Like sheep in a herd, they flock to colleagues that have higher rankings and give them a tag to boast about in the process, They forget that for education, the tag does not matter. 

IIITs are the most neglected institutes in this process. IIITs like Jabalpur, Allahabad, Kancheepuram, and Gwalior have been set up by MHRD that focus primarily on studies in the IT sector, unlike NITs that cater to various branches of engineering. IIITs thus have a CS-oriented culture, curriculum, and opportunities. This may not be the case for NITs that have many branches. 

Although NIT Raipur is older than IIIT Jabalpur, it's not at par with IIIT Jabalpur at least in terms of its Computer Science education. IIIT Jabalpur has much better placements for the CSE department than the IT branch of NIT Raipur. Moreover, IIIT Jabalpur has collaboration with Universities in Japan, unlike NIT Raipur. 

Here is a brief comparative analysis of both institutes

Particulars

NIT Raipur

HBTU

Fees

INR 1.41 Lakhs (BTech 1st Year Fees)

INR 1.59 Lakhs (BTech 1st Year Fees)

Highest CTC

-

INR 82 LPA

Average CTC

INR 10.1 LPA

INR 21.63 LPA

Top Recruiters

Wipro, Capgemini, Infosys, Adobe, Aditya Birla Group etc.

EXL, Flipkart, Jio, JSW, Samsung, TCS, Cred, Cummins, etc. 

 So, IIIT Jabalpur would be a better option.

Should opt for CS in IIT Roorkee or Electrical in IIT Delhi?

MA
Madhav Aneja Posted On : April 5th, 2023
Lived in Chandigarh, India

My brother is a CS student at IIT Roorkee, yet he suggests everyone should go for Electrical at IIT Delhi instead. Here are a few reasons why:

  • CS coursework is suitable only for those genuinely passionate about Computer Science as its curriculum is very demanding.
  • A few Finance giants are offering huge packages that don’t visit IIT Roorkee but visit only a few IITs like Delhi, Bombay, and Kanpur. Some of these include Tower Research, Morgan Stanley, CSFB, McKinsey, etc.
  • Roorkee lacks many urban facilities available at other IITs making it difficult for the students to explore outside campus or prepare for higher exams.
  • The CS faculty pool of IIT Roorkee is very limited with most eminent professors retiring or leaving the Institute.

All these reasons are more than enough to convince someone to choose IIT Delhi over IIT Roorkee.

If you're considering pursuing a Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) program in India, you might be interested in comparing the offerings of different institutions. If you're wondering which one of these options, Jaypee Noida (sector-62) or UIET, Chandigarh (Panjab University) might be better for you, here are some reasons why Jaypee Noida might be a good choice:

You'll have access to well-equipped labs, libraries, and other resources that can enhance your learning experience. In addition, the faculty members are reputed in their respective fields and can provide you with valuable guidance and support throughout your academic journey.
  • Location: Another advantage of Jaypee Noida is its location. The institute is situated in Noida, which is a part of the National Capital Region (NCR) of India.

Should I go for NIT Kurukshetra ECE or NIT Silchar CSE?

TA
Tithi Aggrawal Posted On : September 1st, 2023
Lives in New Delhi

There are several parameters for drawing a comparison between these two colleges. Some of them are mentioned below-

  • Placements- During 2023, B.Tech ECE at NIT Kurukshetra recorded 74.15% placements. The CTC range stood at 6-62.75 (LPA). The average package stood at 17.66 LPA, and the median package stood at 14.83 LPA. Some top recruiters from this college include Bharat Light & Power, Adani Group, Aakash, Accolite, Code Nation, Microsoft, Mahindra, ICICI Lombard, among others. But not all companies recruit ECE students.

During 2022 placements at NIT Silchar, the highest package went to INR 44 LPA and the average package stood at INR 13.58 LPA. The list of top recruiters included Amazon,Microsoft, Adobe, Arcesium and Intuit. For the CSE branch, out of 97 registered students, 82 were placed, and 126 offers were given to this branch in total.

  • Location - NIT Silchar campus is spread across 600 acres, and is green and beautiful.The college has good connectivity through roads, railways and airways. NIT Kurukshetra is spread across 300 acres. You’ll find the campus green and serene. There are no hangout places as such, but at a minimal charge, you can visit Kurukshetra city in just 20 minutes.
  • Infrastructure- NIT Kurukshetra has decent infrastructure and facilities. The buildings for computers and electronics departments are new and modern. Their labs are filled with all the equipment. The campus library is top notch. You’ll get a variety of books for reading and issuing purposes. The book bank offers up to 5 books for 6 months at a highly nominal price of Rs. 30 per book.
  • Ranking- As per the NIRF 2023 rankings, among top 100 Engineering colleges, NIT Kurukshetra stands at 58th position and NIT Silchar stands at 40th position.

According to me, the choice is very subjective. You should make your decision after thoroughly considering the pros and cons of each college and department.

Is IT at IIIT Allahabad better than CS at all NITs?

AA
Aarti Ahuja Posted On : October 16th, 2023
Lives in Allahabad

IT at IIITA has several advantages over CS at the NITs. I will be explaining these advantages in detail for you-

At IITs/NITs, the first 2 semesters have a common curriculum for all branches. For the rest of the semesters, the core courses are accompanied with some useless courses. 

Take NITK for example. From the 3rd sem, B.Tech CS students at NITK are taught additional courses like Chemistry, Engineering Science, Manufacturing Process, Humanities, etc.

IT at IIITA has the same core courses in its curriculum, without any additional ones. You’ll get many electives in 6th and 7th sem, and more projects to work on. 

Some courses from the curriculum are- Electronic Devices & Circuits, Circuit Analysis and Synthesis, Data Structures, Digital Electronics, Computer Organization and Architecture, Theory of Computation, Object Oriented Methodologies, etc. B.Tech IT at IIITA has more hardware-related topics than B.Tech CS at IITs/NITs. 

Due to these reasons, IT at IIIT Allahabad is much better than CS at all NITs.

Which is best in CSE: NMIMS or Manipal or VIT or SRM?

SB
Sonali Bhatt Posted On : May 4th, 2026

CSE from NMIMS vs Manipal vs VIT vs SRM — which is best?

ranking for CSE specifically: VIT Vellore > Manipal MIT = NMIMS > SRM

  • VIT Vellore: best placements of the four — FAANG/product companies visit. NIRF ~15-20. VITEEE admission
  • Manipal MIT (Manipal): strong brand, good placements in IT sector, excellent campus experience. MAHE entrance or JEE
  • NMIMS Mumbai: NMIMS is primarily known for management/pharmacy — their BTech CSE program is decent but not as recognized as NMIMS management. Mumbai location is a plus
  • SRM Chennai: large institution, good placement volume in IT services. batch sizes are very large which can affect individual attention. SRMJEE admission

for a software career in product/tech companies: VIT then Manipal. for IT services/volume placements: SRM competes with VIT. if you're specifically interested in finance+tech or MBA later: NMIMS location (Mumbai) has advantages. overall CSE career: VIT Vellore is the strongest choice of these four.
