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. The highest package was secured by a BTech Computer Science student which stood at INR 57 LPA with the average package being INR 20 LPA.
- VJTI has strong industry connections and easily offers students research and internship opportunities in top firms.
- BITS Goa also offer most of such programs in dual degree format which may be uncomfortable for some students.
- Mumbai being a tech hub can also be beneficial as VJTI CS students are to an ecosystem of networking opportunities and jobs.
Which is better for CSE: BIT Durg or NIT Raipur?
You should definitely study CSE at NIT Raipur.
NIT Raipur will make three things happen in your life:
-
NIT Tag
-
A job at the end of four years to begin your career (90-95% of people will get a job).
-
Access to a large alumni network (your current seniors at NIT Raipur will be excellent guides).
Now, let's talk about NIT Raipur CSE Department. In terms of faculty, you can expect Ph.D. faculty to teach the core courses. They will ensure that your concepts are correct.
Furthermore, NIT Raipur has the authority to set and change the curriculum in response to industry demands. The highest package recorded during NIT Raipur placements in 2022 was INR 2 crore per annum. Facebook provided the most generous package.
However, at NIT Raipur, some of the highest-paying companies have begun to visit the campus, making it an appealing option for B.Tech students.
Remember that the compensation package you will receive at the end of four years will be a reflection of your hard work. NIT Raipur will only offer the chance to sit for those companies.

How is computer science at IIT Ropar?
If there is one IIT that has the best student-teacher ratio among the other IITs then it is IIT Ropar.
Your placement is determined by the skills you have and the hard work you have done in your course. Students who have completed B.Tech in CSE have been offered packages of INR 18 LPA which is the highest for the students of the department and those who have completed their M.Tech in the same have been offered a package of INR 12 LPA, their highest. The percentage of placement was 84.96% in their last placement drive. The chief recruiters were Amazon, Google, Texas Instruments, Ericsson, etc.
You will find LAN and wifi available 24x7. It is like any other IIT. There will be professors you will like and some you will not. The coding culture is very developed in IIT Ropar. It may not have the benefit of location like some of its counterparts in other states do but it is close to Chandigarh.
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.
Is Sharda University good when it comes to placements in B.Tech CSE?
One of my friends studied at Sharda University. According to him, your GPA will not be the only criteria that will be looked at when it comes to your placements. But, if you are planning to appear via campus drives, the first and foremost thing that would qualify you for this would be your GPA.
- If your score is less than 7 you will probably not be able to sit at most of the companies.
- It is also important that you have a 60% score throughout your academics.
- Develop your aptitude and reasoning abilities as well. Most importantly, your communication skills will matter a lot.

Among all the companies that visit the college, IT and Management visit in the largest numbers. Some of these include Indian Navy, Think n Learn, NTT Data, etc.
About 8 to 10 of these will have a pool campus invite. Around 3 to 5 management and sales companies.
The university also has the best TnP department and works really hard in order to bring companies to the campus. But many students are not that interested in getting placed. Because of this, the placement percentage is quite low.
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.
