Which is better for computer engineering, IIT Hyderabad or BITS Hyderabad?
It’s highly illogical to measure IIT Hyderabad, the fastest-growing new IIT with a private institute BITS.
- Only top rankers with JEE Advanced ranks in the range of 500–5500 get into IIT Hyderabad while those who don’t get through JEE Advanced or have ranks of 8000+ easily get good seats in BITS Hyderabad.
- BITS Hyderabad is BITS Pilani Hyderabad Campus, not BITS Pilani.
- The average package of IIT Hyderabad is almost par with that of IIT Delhi and Bombay, while the average package of BITS Hyderabad is much lower.
- IIT Hyderabad has a Fractal Academic System, under which there is regular testing and grading throughout the year. Also, you can fill your academic palette with the courses of your choice.
- The courses are industry relevant and updated, unlike older IITs.
- Owing to the Japan Collaboration, IIT Hyderabad students regularly get internship offers, job offers, and higher study and research opportunities in Japan.
- IIT Hyderabad frequently collaborates with IIIT Hyderabad for Hackathons, Coding Competitions, and other stuff.
- IIT Hyderabad is still in its development phase and BITS has a much better campus than IIT Hyderabad.
I feel IIT Hyderabad is the better option for CS in comparison to BITS Hyderabad.

What rank is required for CS in KJ Somaiya in minority quota?
Computer Science at KJ Somaiya is one of the most in-demand branches. So you will see that the cut-off marks are definitely a bit higher than other branches. There are a few vacancy rounds conducted after CAP rounds to fill the remaining seats. You can expect the cutoff to drop then by a little bit.
The CS minority round placements (CAP rounds) end at the MHCET score of 150 at least. You can expect these to drop to about 135 to 140 later but the overall scenario is almost the same every year.
You can look for the vacancy round forms on the college website and you can keep checking for them from time to time.
What should I do, take a CS in Shah & Anchor or an IT in KJ Somaiya College of Engineering?
There are no such major differences between CS and IT departments as the course structure is very similar to both the departments except for a few subjects. Almost all companies accept students from both the departments for interviews.
But between these two colleges, you should choose KJ Somaiya College of Engineering as it will be a better choice and here are a few reasons.

PEC-Metallurgy:
- The alumni base of PEC Chandigarh is immense and they still make huge donations for students.
- If you need the best facilities such as college hostel life, high-speed Wi-Fi, Co-curricular activities Join PEC.
- But, quality of education plays a vital role which is average at PEC.
- However, you will surely get placements.

Is an ECE at NIT Goa better than a CSE at Jamia Millia Islamia?
I have cousins from both NIT Goa, and Jamia Millia Islamia and as they mention, the latter is famous for its CSE course. Usually, students do not leave the opportunity to go for the CSE course of Jamia Millia Islamia.
- CSE is comparably better than most of the other branches in the educational domain.
- CSE provides you job opportunities in accordance to what you have been exposed to, academically.
- On the other hand, ECE is undeniably a good choice of stream.
- For securing a good job position, you will have to pursue majoring in one of many programming languages or web development projects.
- This translates to studying for your course and also pursuing something extra for exposure.
- While CSE students are already part of studying these domains in general.
- ECE students usually also go for the GATE exam.
- However, the only upside ECE students enjoy is finding the slightest amount of vacancies in PSU, while CS students are somewhat one step lower than it.
| Categories | ECE at NIT Goa | CSE at Jamia Millia Islamia |
| Course Fee | 5.38 lakh | 64,600 |
| Highest CTC | 13 LPA | 20 LPA |
| Average CTC | 6.5 LPA | 8-10 LPA |
| Recruiting Companies | L&T, Microsoft, Siemens, Infosys, etc. | TCS, Wipro, Adobe, Cognizant, etc. |
Apart from these few, it depends upon how hard you work. Be it ECE or CSE, you have to work hard and utilize the time and opportunities you get while studying in college.

Which should I prefer, ECE at IIT Bhubaneswar or CSE at DTU?
I am a second-year student of ECE at IIT Bhubaneswar.
I think you can go for B.Tech ECE at IIT Bhubaneswar. Even though DTU is a reputed institute, it is mostly known in the Northern parts of India. On the other hand, IIT Bhubaneswar carries the IIT tag, which is recognised nationally and globally.
As a central institution, IIT Bhubaneswar has a more diverse crowd as compared to DTU (also because DTU has a huge Delhi quota). This allows for a better exposure and exchange of values. This will in turn, help you in your profession when dealing with people from diverse socio-cultural backgrounds.
ECE is as good a branch as CoE/CSE, and you can easily get a job at an IT firm by learning coding on the side. Moreover, ECE students are allowed to sit for a large number of IT companies during placements.
Here’s a comparison between IIT Bhubaneswar and DTU for your reference:
