IIIT Sonepat: Which one should I choose, NIT Kurukshetra or NIT Bhopal or IIIT Allahabad for an M.Tech in CSE?
I will never recommend you to choose NIT Kurukshetra because the administration is very disappointing and the entire system is in dilapidated condition. The CSE branch specifically is losing its charm. The official records claim some very good professors but the reality is most of them aren’t interested in teaching.
The result is declared after 4 months and the students were given backs by a margin of 1/4 of a mark. The duration of exams is long, giving no time for holidays. The Institute does not encourage any kind of educational tours or summer training. Research work is not promoted in any form. The only reason NIT Kurukshetra is still here is because of the hard work of students who get good packages.

What should I choose, VJTI for Computer Science or BITS Goa for Chemical?
My friend also faced the dilemma of choosing between VJTI and BITS Goa. He ended up choosing VJTI because of the following reasons.
- VJTI offers a renowned CS curriculum with a strong focus on practical learning.
- BITS Goa may have a higher average salary during placement, but placements for CS at VJTI are also pretty solid. A total of 401 BTech students have been placed till now in 2024.

What is better, IT in VSSUT Burla or in CET BBSR?
VSSUT and CET are both autonomous universities. Here are some insights on pursuing B.Tech IT at these two-
VSSUT is much older. This makes it a bigger brand. But in terms of location, CET is a clear winner. VSSUT is located in the small town of Burla.
Burla has no direct air connectivity, and the fastest mode of transport is a 6 hour train journey from Bhubaneswar. Thus, top recruiters hesitate to visit the campus for placements. But the placement stats are good. The students miss out on competitive events and internship opportunities because of the distance from Bhubaneswar.
CET is the only government institute in Bhubaneswar other than IIIT. More recruiters visit its campus during placement season. Samsung, Dell and Toshiba are some of the top companies that visit the CET campus.
In terms of academics, VSSUT offers a flexible curriculum. This allows IT students to opt for a few advanced subjects. CET on the other hand, has a rigid course curriculum. In any case, make sure to polish your coding skills for a successful career in IT.
To conclude, pursue your B.Tech IT from the institution that best suits your personal preferences.
What is difference between CSE and csd coures at IIIT Delhi?
CSE and CSD at IIIT Delhi are more different than most people think — they're not just the same course with a design elective thrown in.
CSE (Computer Science and Engineering): pure CS program, admission purely through JEE Main/JAC Delhi rank. standard 4-year B.Tech.
CSD (Computer Science and Design):
- it's a hybrid program integrating CS with Design/HCI (Human-Computer Interaction) — visual design, UX, multimedia, graphics alongside core CS
- admission is different from CSE — uses both JEE rank AND class 12 percentage in criteria. this allows some students who scored well in 12th but couldn't get a high enough JEE rank to access IIIT Delhi
- from 3rd year, CSD students do extra design projects every semester on top of regular coursework — the workload is higher
- placements are similar to CSE (~95%+), slightly lower avg package historically but improving
key thing most answers get wrong — CSD is NOT a dual degree in the traditional sense. it's a 4-year B.Tech in CSD, not CSE + MS. the degrees awarded are different.
verdict: if you want pure software career — CSE is simpler and cleaner. if you're genuinely interested in design + tech (UX, product design, graphics) — CSD is genuinely unique and worth it. don't take CSD just to get into IIIT Delhi if you hate design.
Is it worth leaving KGMU seat for AMU seat of an MBBS taking in consideration the UP bond and internal PG reservation?
You are right in considering the UP bond and internal PG reservation while making your choice.
- Internal Reservation- JNMC offers 50% internal PG quota, which is completely free of caste based reservation. This is beneficial if you plan to pursue PG after your graduation. Also, you’ll have better chances of getting clinical seats here at around 23k AIR.
- Rural Bond- Unlike KGMU, JNMC doesn’t come under the two year rural bond. This is a big relief in itself.
- Location- Location wise though, Lucknow is far more developed than Aligarh.
You may choose JNMC (AMU) over any of these top colleges of UP- KGMU, RMLIMS, GSVM, MLN and LLRM. The reason being, as already mentioned by you.
Is it valuable doing MA after Bsc from IGNOU?
No, it’s not valuable for someone to go for an MA after graduating from science. Unless you have a specific target or reason behind pursuing PG in arts it’s not recommended at all.
The course you are opting for should have a direct connection with the industry you are planning to enter. Focus on your goal and pursue the program related to that specific field.
People with no specific goals regarding the industry or profession are much more likely to come across such questions. Redefine and recognise your goals and then if it still suits you best, go for PG in arts.
