I have a choice between IT (Information Technology) in NIT, Surathkal and CS (computer science) in RVCE, Bangalore. Which one would be a better choice in terms of placements, Brand name etc.??
Between the options, you should choose NIT Surathkal IT. Here are the reasons why.
- The syllabus difference between IT and CSE is not so much in this institute.
- The placement process in the institute is exceptional, specifically for the circuit branches, including IT, CSE, ECE, and EEE. However, in the last year, students are recruited by Google and Microsoft.
- NITK has its own brand name. Maybe it is an NIT, but the students here get a lot of exposure. JEE Mains toppers mainly take admission in this institute every year.
Here is a full overview of NIT Surathkal
You will have to stay here in the hostel, which provides a good experience for them. During the tenure of the course, you will learn how to take care of yourself. Also, if your hometown is Bangalore, then you can frequently visit home.
How is NIT Agartala in terms of placements as compared to RVCE in Bangalore?
One of my close friends was a part of the Training and Placement Cell of NIT Agartala and gave me a detailed insight into the placement scenario.
The CSE and ECE branches have the best placement scenario and almost all the students get placed. NIT Agartala has a better reputation than other North-East colleges. Core branches like Mechanical, Civil, and Electrical branches have improved their placements over the past few years. RVCE is also a great college in Bangalore and has a location advantage over NIT Agartala.
So, if you want the NIT tag and are ready to relocate to a remote city go for NIT Agartala!
Should I prefer civil engineering in IIT Hyderabad or CSE in RVCE?
My suggestion would be to opt for IIT Hyderabad Civil Engineering and prepare for a branch change.
IITs cannot be compared to any private college other than BITS. Even if you are unable to change your branch, don’t feel disheartened as the IIT Brand name is more than enough.
I know many people who were part of the Chemical, Biotech, and Civil Engineering branches of IIT and are earning more than 12 LPA currently. Irrespective of the branch you belong to, IITs offer an excellent coding culture making you proficient in the same. The quality of peer groups you will be interacting with is also better at IITs than at private colleges like RVCE.
All in all, IIT as a brand is better than RVCE and other private colleges except BITS.
Should I go for Mechanical Engineering in RV College of engineering?
RV college is a reputed college of engineering that has ranked 7th among the best private engineering colleges in India by The Week in 2020.

Which college would give the best experience and exposure in architecture, RV College of Engineering (RVCE), BMS College of Engineering (BMSCE) or Manipal School of Architecture and Planning (MSAP)?
All three of these institutes have their own advantages. Here is a brief comparison of the three.
- BMS College of Engineering (BMSCE) is well-connected so is Manipal School of Architecture and Planning. The architecture department of RV College of Engineering is located in a secluded area.
- In terms of crowd, the preference order is RVCE>BMS=MSAP.
- The hostel facilities offered at all these institutes are decent.
If you want decent academics and lots of real-life exposure then the best option among these three is Manipal School of Architecture and Planning.
Which should I choose, EEE in NIT Surathkal, ECE in IIIT Bangalore, or CS in RVC?
If you are given these options, your rank in JEE Mains must be near 10k, and that in KCET >= 100. I was faced with similar choices, so I am listing down the pros and cons of each option-
- RVC- If you are a Bangalorean and don’t wish to go to a hostel, RVC is the ideal choice. You’ll be getting CSE, which is great. The faculty at RVC is good. It offers an indoor basketball court. Your peers would’ve aced their KCET. But the minus point is that there is a management quota.
- IIIT Bangalore-T his is a great choice for you even if you are interested in CSE. The curriculum for ECE and CSE is mostly common for the first two years. Both branches study common topics like programming and computer architecture. Even a branch change is possible by getting on the Dean’s Merit List. Branch change is purely merit based.
- NIT Surathkal- EEE from NITK is a great option. However, if you are interested in CS/IT, getting a branch change isn’t easy. Vacancy is low during branch change and its rules are quite rigid-
- The current branch’s strength must not decrease by more than 10%.
- The future branch’s strength must not increase by more than 10%.
- Category-wise allotment of seats is done, similar to JoSAA
If you are planning for an M.Tech in near future, choose IIITB. The iMtech will allow you to complete two degrees in five years, and you won’t be stressed over GATE exams. IIIT Bangalore offers the best placements. This is because Bangalore is the center of major IT and Electronics brands.
I chose iMtech at IIIT Bangalore because of these reasons. You must choose the option that best suits your personal preferences. All the three institutions are well renowned.
Which one is better, Manipal Institute of Technology or the RV College of Engineering?
There are multiple factors one needs to consider when choosing one between the Manipal Institute of Technology and the RV College of Engineering.
RV College of Engineering CSE is ranked better than that of Manipal Institute of Technology. In fact, RV College of Engineering is a highly regarded institution for engineering studies that has been consistently ranked among the top engineering colleges in India.
Both Manipal Institute of Technology and RV College of Engineering have different admission processes. RV College of Engineering offers admission through COMEDK and KCET, while Manipal Institute of Technology offers admission through MET and JEE Main.
