I have said this many times and will say it again, one should never underestimate the value a CGPA holds in shaping your career. Don’t fall for the trap ‘Grades don’t Matter’ because they do and to a great extent. This can be further understood through the following anecdote that revolves around two of my closest friends.
Both of them were CSE students at NIT Rourkela. Both were regular in their classes and completed their assignments on time. However, by the end of the 3rd year, one friend scored a CGPA of 6.90 while the other ended up getting a 7.05 CGPA .
During the placements, most top companies like Microsoft, Uber, De-shaw, Arcesium, Visa, and Samsung set their cutoffs to 7 CGPA. Students who did not qualify for this weren’t eligible to sit for their placements. The friend with the higher CGPA appeared in the interview for several companies and ended up with a good role and package while the other friend with slightly less but below 7 CGP could not even sit for their placements. Eventually, he got placed in an average company with a low package.
The core lesson from this anecdote is that CGPA matters a lot during placements, especially for the best companies. Hope my answer clarified the importance of a CGPA for a BTech in CSE student at NIT Warangal.

Considering the data given above, Galgotia College should be preferred for B.Tech CSE because:
Its fee is comparatively lower than Galgotia University.
It has comparatively better Average placement records.
The batch size of the College is less than that of the University.
Since the college was established in the year 2000, it has more experience and better placement records.
However, since the difference is relatively low, the final decision is up to you.
CSE at top NITs is a far better option. Among the NITS, I would suggest you choose NIT Trichy. The CSE department of NIT Trichy is better than other NITs. The department is old and the curriculum is at par with the top IITs. The faculty is experienced and will guide you throughout the four years of your college. You will get hands-on learning because of the multiple practical projects that are given to the students. The campus of NIT Trichy is just as amazing. You will have hostel facilities as well. Each year the top companies visit our college to recruit the students. The CSE department is one of the departments that get the highest packages. Last year the average package in the CSE departments was 27.27 LPA.
For software jobs, Dayananda Sagar College of Engineering is very good in terms of Placement. Here are some of the observations about the college placements.
The placement recent statistics of Dayanand college are as follows.

This college also provides soft skill training programs and a digital lab facility as well. This will help you in developing your communication and technical skills.
IIIT Lucknow is one of the best among all IIITs under the Public-Private Partnership (PPP) Program of the Government of India. A few key aspects of IIIT Lucknow are as follows:
IIIT Lucknow offers a compelling opportunity for a solid academic foundation, good placement statistics, and a dynamic learning environment that is ideal for being a better choice than other new IIITs.
Firstly, it is important to keep in mind that old IIT institutes are highly esteemed. On the other hand, new IITs are also rapidly growing and have overtaken some of the old campuses. So, it is important to not avoid an institute just because it has a fairly new IIT campus.
From the given list, IIT Patna was developed 10 years ago and has quickly become a highly accomplished institute in such a short span of time.
Keeping the other institutes in mind, here is a brief description about IIT Patna and what it has to offer within the CSE department.

I am a CSE student at IIT Patna and I will try to justify why choosing IIT Patna for your
CSE is a good decision. Don’t base your choice on how old an institution is.
All the new IITs like IIT Patna or IIT Jodhpur are doing exceptionally well, some are even competing against the old IITs. IIT Patna has a great campus and it has achieved tremendous success in a short span of time.
CSE department has a learned and supportive faculty and great seniors. The teams have always performed exceptionally well in the ACM-ICPC and have even made it to the world finals. A good number of students clear the GSoC( Google Summer of Code).
NJACK club organizes tutorial classes and workshops on Web development, App development, Android, etc. It also organizes competitions like Capture the Flag, NWoC-an open source coding event, and other competitions throughout the year.
Other interdisciplinary teams which you can join are ROBOCON, Supra BAJA, HPVC etc.
CSE alums at IIT Patna have made successful startups and others are working in good positions at top MNCs. Overall, the coding culture over here is excellent.
The placements for the CSE department are quite impressive. For 2023 placements, the highest package stood at INR 82.05 LPA. The average package stood at INR 35.57 LPA and the median package stood at INR 32.85 LPA. 98.65% of students from the CSE branch were placed.
In the end, whether you choose IIT Jodhpur, IIT Mandi, IIT Patna, or any other institution, the choice should be based on your personal preference. However, I would suggest you choose IIT Patna CSE as I am quite satisfied with my choice.
There are many reasons why some students prefer CSE at NSIT to CSE at DTU. I have listed some strong reasons below:
If you consider these reasons valid, go for NSIT instead of DTU.
I did my BTech from LPU in 2023. I can say it is one of the top private universities to do BTech. I say this because of 3 main reasons:
LPU’s BTech CSE department has tied-up Google, CompTIA and various other automation companies. LPU has state of the art labs with latest technology to provide hands on practical exposure to students. Students can also go for semester exchange program.
Yes, irrespective of the branch, choosing IIT Delhi will always prove to be beneficial for you. IIT Delhi has ties with many big firms that visit the campus for placements and offer great packages irrespective of your branch. One needs to be proficient in DSA and other computer science core subjects such as OOPS, OS, DBMS, and Computer Networks. A good grasp of these will fetch you a high-paying job no matter which branch you belong to in IIT Delhi.
Although most companies that visit IIT Delhi also visit NIT, your IIT tag will always fetch you extra benefits and no one can deny that. For instance, the same role offered to an IITiand will have more salary than that offered to a non-IITian.You can easily switch roles and fields given the brand name of the institute you are associated with. IITians even have more opportunities for higher studies in Foreign countries than non-IITians.
IITians especially from Mumbai or Delhi are always given preference over non-IITians hence it is advisable to go for IIT Delhi in any branch.
