Without any second thoughts, choose BSc Data Science from IIT Madras. Upgrad course is just an additional course between you and your degree from IIT Madras. 

Choosing BSc program from IIT Madras will offer many perks 

• You become a part of the extensive alumni network of IIT Madras
• You will be able to avail of Institute placements 
• Fee waived based on your income criteria 
• You can clear your doubt directly from the IIT Madras faculty. They are highly approachable.
• Weekly evaluation maintains the quality standards of the course and makes it one of the best Distance Education Programs.
• The online course from Upgrad awards you just a certificate while that from IIT Madras awards you a degree.
• The exams of Upgrad are conducted online whereas BSc exams are conducted offline at exam centers highly under the surveillance of examiners.
• There is a fixed duration (3-4) of the BSc program which is absent in the case of the Upgrad course.
• Your CV will be bestowed with an IIT tag, known worldwide while the Upgrad course is rarely known outside India.
• Internship opportunities are available under the BSc course thus offering much more exposure than Upgrad where you are expected to be already employed.

Upgrad is suitable only for those who are working full-time and cannot pursue a full-time course. Else, BSc should be your first option. This course can be pursued full-time and gives enough time to prepare simultaneously for many things like the Civil services exam, and CAT exam or inculcating skills like drawing, painting, music, etc.

IIT Roorkee, NIT Trichy, and NIT Warangal are well-established institutes in India. The scope of metallurgy is comparatively lower than that of CSE. IIT Roorkee mainly concentrates on textual learning and does not give the students exposure to practical learning. They are using the practice of mugging up the lessons without having a clear understanding of the topic. The placement is very poor here; the students from the metallurgy department usually end up in data analytics and coding.

So CSE at NIT Warangal and Trichy would be a better choice.

CS and EC are very different branches. You need to decide which branch interests you more.

EC is about electronics and how the different electrical components communicate with one another. It involves a lot of Physics. It only involves a little programming. CS, on the other hand, is all about programming. It mainly uses logic and math. 

If you are interested in programming, CSAI from IIIT Lucknow is the better choice. AI/ML is in huge demand in the industry as most things will be automated in the future. Placements and coding culture are top-notch at all these colleges. Students from IIIT Lucknow and IIIT Bangalore perform well in competitions like ACM ICPC. 

All these colleges are good. You should make your choice based on your field of interest.

Honestly, I would recommend anyone to go to a new but dynamic college rather than a reputed and old college. This is because the new colleges are at par with today’s advancements be it the curriculum or the facilities. The brand IBS was indeed popular Ron e but recently due to its increasing batch size and other shortcomings, it has lost its charm. So for me, it’s BML Munjal University. The points below will explain further why I recommend this school so strongly.

• BML Munjal University functions under the mentorship of Imperial College Business School, London which is among the top 20 in the world. This enables the students to grab the opportunity to attend Imperial College.
• The faculties are young and extremely learned
• The University was founded by Hero Group making almost every aspect of the B School industry relevant.
• Apart from a regular MBA, they offer MBA in Accounting and an MBA in Business Analytics. The MBA in Accounting and Finance is in association with KPMG and focuses on Forensic Accounting and Corporate Fraud. MBA in Business Analytics is in association with IBM where IBM is helping with the training and infrastructure part which is industry relevant.

All these factors make BML Munjal University a far better choice than IBS Hyderabad.

It is true that a person’s caliber can in no way be judged from the Business School that they have graduated from. In practice, however, things work very differently.

The general assumption is that if a candidate has secured a top rank in one of the most challenging exams and studied one of the top curriculums in the country, then they are really good in their field.

IIM A, B, and C have been around for a very long time and its graduates have carved a niche for themselves in the corporate world. Most companies in India and many abroad have IIM A, B, and C graduates in top positions. The alumni spread the goodwill of these institutions in silicon valley and other parts of the world, leading to international repute. These institutions are ‘brands’. An IIM A, B, and C brand opens numerous opportunities for you.

Judging IIMs based on ROI solely is not wise. Most IIM graduates end up paying their loans in a period of 3 to 5 years. Also, keep in mind that salary does not remain constant, it keeps increasing each year. Even if you take a loan to fund your MBA, it will be worth it.

If you get the opportunity to study at IIM A, B, or C you should grab it at the earliest.

NSUT Delhi is known for its COE (Computer Engineering) course.

The COE course is different from CSE. In COE, you will study hardware, electronics & signals, and codes & algorithms. Unlike CSE, software is not the main focus of study in COE.

Now as far as a comparison between them is considered, IIITD has a much better teaching environment than NSUT Delhi. Though it also has an experienced faculty, you will mainly be taught by Ph.D. students during the first two years.

Unlike before, however, the NSUT Delhi curriculum has been updated. There is now a CBCS (Choice Based Credit System) and you won’t have to compulsorily study unnecessary subjects. Both institutes have a pretty good placement record. Although the COE branch concerns itself more with hardware, students get placed majorly in software profiles. 

All I can say is that NSUT Delhi has now an updated curriculum and a university status. On the other hand, IIITD is a comparatively new player in this field that is also performing quite well. Thus, both institutions are a good choice to pursue your computer studies.
