MANIT, Bhopal offers a good Computer Science Engineering course. In recent years, some new courses have been added as electives for the course. These courses include Machine Learning, Image Processing, Big Data, etc. Students can study these courses from their 3rd year. However, there are no good faculties to teach these courses in depth.
The course work includes only one programming language, i.e. C programming. It is very basic and taught by contract professors. Students are required to do two projects. Most students do Machine Learning projects.
The computer labs aren’t in good condition. You will need to do most of the work on your personal computer.
Compared to most NITs, MANIT Bhopal offers good placement opportunities for CSE. Recruiters like Amazon, Microsoft, Goldman Sachs, etc. visit the campus placements. For CSE, the average CTC stays around INR 12.5 LPA.
The average package for top NITs is around INR 10-15 LPA. While for others the average CTC stays in the range of INR 5-10 LPA. The below table has the info regarding the average package of some of the top NITs.
| NIT | Average Package (in INR) |
| NIT Warangal | INR 13.3 LPA |
| NIT Trichy | INR 6 LPA |
| NIT Surathkal | INR 14.15 LPA |
| NIT Calicut | INR 9.56 LPA |
The average salary package for NIT will depend on the specific NIT and the branch. Branches like CSE, IT, etc. usually have a better average package than other core branches.
The following are the average salary trends observed during MDI Gurgaon placements over the last three years:
| Particulars | Salary Package |
| Average Package (2022) | INR 22.05 LPA |
| Average Package (2021) | INR 23.15 LPA |
| Average Package (2020) | INR 26.2 LPA |
The creators of the placement reports have the liberty to ensure that the maximum earning potential is considered. This is a competitive event that all B schools participate in. This practice, however, would not significantly alter the data because the variable component is typically around 10% of the overall CTC.
It is also worth noting that the relationship between opportunity and pay is not a straight line. Candidates frequently accept lower pay because the opportunity matches their interests and needs.
One of my friends studied at VTU Belgaum. According to him, they follow a CBCS, which is a Choice Based Credit System wherein students have the choice of selecting their subjects/courses based on their interests- core, elective, and foundations.
The last semester is different from all the others because it has project work and internship as well that get graded. Therefore, this is how you will be able to convert a percentage to the CGPA.

Nothing can prepare you enough for the intense life you will be experiencing at IIT Delhi. Yet, here are a few pointers that might help
The choice of the branch, as well as the Institute, depends on a lot of factors like your personal preferences and the other options you have. It’s difficult to say which is better between the Mechanical Engineering program at IIT Madras and CSE at NIT Trichy, as both are highly reputable institutions with strong engineering programs. Both offer excellent curricula, experienced faculty, and ample opportunities for research and extracurricular activities.
Joining NIT Trichy for CSE is a good choice if
Joining IIT Madras for Mechanical Engineering is a good choice if
Some other options to consider are
All these have average packages above 20 LPA and are excellent options. The preference order for branches on the basis of job prospects and the current demands in the market is as follows
CSE > M&C > ECE > EE
All these branches are open to software profiles whereas other branches usually offer non-core profiles even Mechanical. Ultimately, it's important to research both programs and consider your own interests and goals before making a decision.

Apart from this, many students pursued research or became entrepreneurs, or completed their MBAs.
Every student that gets selected to IIM Ahmedabad gets an option to defer their admission provided that the person must have full time work experience of less than 2 years.
This corporate experience gives a better understanding of the PGP program.
Some important points related to deferring admission are:
Defer can be for a maximum of 2 years and a minimum of 1 year
1 year deferment is not allowed for freshers. They need to defer for at least 2 years and gain experience.
A separate form needs to be filled for applying for deferment.
Fees include Security Deposit + deferment fee = 2 lacs. If you don’t join after the end of the deferment period, this amount will be forfeited.
Your progress will be monitored throughout.
To get your admission deferred, all you need to do is apply and send the form to IIM Ahmedabad. Such requests rarely go unaccepted.
