Which is better: Amity University Noida or GLA Mathura for a B.Tech in CS?
Amity University Noida is a better option for B.Tech in CS. It offers good infrastructure. Amity has a good faculty base for CSE. Reputed MNCs such as Infosys, IBM, TCS, Accenture, Tech Mahindra, etc. recruit from the campus drive. According to the recent highlights of Amity Noida placements, the average CTC for the CSE students is around INR 4.5-5 LPA.
Which should my daughter choose, a CSE from IGDTUW or a ECE from NSIT/DTU/IIIT Delhi?
this is actually a really good question and the answer depends on what career path your daughter is aiming for.
CSE at IGDTUW — it's an all-women's government university in Delhi, excellent campus environment for women students, strong alumni network in Delhi tech companies, government college fees (very affordable), and CSE is the best branch to be in for software careers. the women-only campus is a genuine advantage in terms of safety and focused academic culture.
ECE at NSIT/DTU/IIIT Delhi — all three are mixed-gender, more prestigious institutions. IIIT Delhi ECE specifically is excellent for tech — the institute has a strong coding culture and ECE students regularly get SWE roles. DTU and NSUT ECE are decent but the branch doesn't give the same software career advantage as CSE.
honest recommendation:
- if she wants a software/tech career — CSE at IGDTUW is probably better than ECE at DTU/NSUT. branch matters more than college here
- if the option is ECE at IIIT Delhi specifically — that's a tough call, IIIT Delhi is genuinely strong and ECE students do well in placements there
- for family comfort and safety — IGDTUW being all-women and govt-managed is a significant factor for many families
Is IIIT Ranchi a good college for CSE?
IIIT Ranchi is one of the most-recent IIIT in India. It has a brand name. So, the reputation of the college will steadily grow as the year passes.
It has a parent institute known as NIT Jamshedpur. NIT Jamshedpur is a good institute. So, it can be expected that IIIT Ranchi will follow in the footsteps. IIIT Ranchi already has similar facilities like NIT Jamshedpur.
There are two types of IIITs.
- State-funded like IIIT Delhi, IIIT BBSR, etc
- Centrally-funded like IIIT Allahabad
IIIT Ranchi is a centrally-funded institute. It has the potential to surpass the barriers of CFTI that has some benefits of its own. As it is an IIIT, the crowd of the college is also decent.
Which is better EEE at IIT Guwahati or CSE at DTU?
While IIT is a globally recognized brand, DTU is no less the mother institution of reputed colleges like IIT Delhi and FMS. It has been established got 83 years and is older than IITs. However, the institute is always the secondary thing to consider, the branch being the primary factor to focus on. Determine whether your interests lie in becoming a Computer Science engineer or an Electronics Engineer.
Personally, I would suggest you go for DTU CSE because of the following reasons:
Faculty: DTU has a rich pool of highly esteemed and well-qualified Professors with over an experience of more than 30 years of teaching
Campus: Located in a metro city, you are exposed to city life. You can also prepare for IAS, MBA, GRE, Language Courses, or coding courses as Delhi has the best coaching institutes.
DTU has a rich campus culture with over 120+ societies and 15+ Technical Teams.
Alumni
There are many alumni of DTU who have made significant contributions in various fields.
Here are a few examples:
- Vijay Shekhar Sharma, Founder of Paytm
- Praveen Sinha: Co-Founder Jabong.com
- Ravi Grover: Director, Homi Bhabha National Institute. Ex- principal Adviser to Dept. of Atomic Energy, India.
- Durjoy Datta: Bestselling author
- Raghbir Singh Bhola: Arjuna Award winner, Olympian.
- Sachin Garg: Author
- Subhav Sinha: Inventor
- Niketan Madhok : Supermodel
- Krishnan Ganesh: Founder - TutorVista

Which is better, IIT Hyderabad Artificial Intelligence or IIT Delhi Mathematics and Computing?
Both IIT Hyderabad Artificial Intelligence and IIT Delhi Mathematics and Computing are excellent courses. Of the two, choosing MNC at IIT Delhi is slightly better because:
- The NIRF ranking of IIT Delhi is 2, while that of IIT Hyderabad is 9.
- IIT Delhi was established in 1961, while IIT Hyderabad was established in 2008. Therefore, IIT Delhi has a stronger alumni network and a better reputation.
- Mathematics and computing revolves around both mathematics and computer science, which opens more diverse job opportunities for students.

If you have a specific inclination towards AI, the IIT Hyderabad AI course will treat you well. But if your interest lies in Math and Computer Science, or you wish to gain an overall better exposure, I would recommend you join Mathematics and Computing at IIT Delhi.
Which is the better option - PICT for IT, VIT Pune for IT, or WCE Sangli for CSE?
My friend was in a similar dilemma when he was left with these three options. Based on his experience, PICT is the best option in Pune for computers. The institute provides an environment and resources suitable for working on quality projects. The academic ambiance is excellent and you will get a chance to develop yourself. Students with a good CGOA bag good offers while some open their own startups.
WCE is a decent college with a good campus and faculty pool. The students make it to average companies like TCS Infosys cognizant. It’s the best college in the Kolhapur and Solapur University area. Most students opt for a job rather than pursuing higher studies.
VIT has the added advantage of being in Pune so if you ever face this situation, choose VIT over WCE. The preference order therefore is, PICT>VIT>WCE.
My JEE rank is 600. Should I go for electrical at IIT Kanpur or CS at IIT Roorkee?
As per the latest stats, you will not be able to get admission in CSE at IIT Roorkee at this rank if you are from the general category. I think that you should choose EE at IIT Kanpur over CSE at IIT Roorkee because of the following reasons:-
- Taking EE in Kanpur is more advantageous than CSE in Roorkee due to higher placement percentages and more flexible academics, which helps to let you develop yourself more.
- IIT Kanpur has a better NIRF ranking of 4th compared to IIT Roorkee 5th.
- As of 2023, the average salary at IIT Kanpur EE branch is 26.27 LPA, while the average salary for IIT Roorkee's CSE branch is 27 LPA, so there is not much difference.
- More than 250 companies like Microsoft, Fujitsu, Samsung, Reliance, Goldman Sachs, and McKinsey visited IIT Kanpur campus in 2023.
- Electrical engineering provides you with opportunities in both the public and private sectors.
- The best aspect is that if you later discover you have no interest in EE, you can always move to Software Engineering.
Is branch change easy if I want CSE at NIT Rourkela?
NIT Rourkela started branch change facility from academic year 2017-2018. For a branch change, your first year CGPA and seat availability in the desired course will be considered. However, to answer you precisely, it is not easy to get a branch change, that too into CSE. Top scorers at NIT Rourkela are able to achieve this feat.
The main obstacle is that students acquire a laid back attitude after getting an admission into an NIT or IIT. Even if you work 1/10th as hard as you did during your JEE preparation, you will get a good CGPA and your chances for a branch change will be high. For this, you will have to work hard instead of blaming the faculty, syllabus or hectic schedule.
It is quite difficult to upgrade to CSE at NIT Rourkela. However, if you work really hard and get lucky enough that the department has vacant seats, you might get into CSE after your first year.
Which is better: CSE at BIT Mesra or IT at NIT Allahabad?
It’s highly illogical to compare BIT Mesra with NIT Allahabad. MNNIT Allahabad belongs to a different league and is way better than BIT Mesra. Its CS and IT placements are surprisingly better than the new IITs too.
The best part about MNIT Allahabad is its extensive job opportunities. Companies coming for CS students allow IT and ECE students to sit for placements as well. So all you need to do is become proficient in coding and clear the interview smartly.
Here is a comparative analysis of the placement statistics of BIT Mesra CS and MNNIT Allahabad IT

What should I choose: IIT Roorkee metallurgy or NIT Warangal/Trichy CSE?
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.
