B.Tech in AI(Artificial Intelligence)

This course is somewhat similar to CSE except that you’ll be mainly studying courses on machine learning and AI. Students of this program have to be proficient in Maths, ML, DL, etc. These courses are compulsory and you will be assigned projects on the same topics.

B.Tech in CSE

Under this program, you will be studying CSE subjects like databases, operating systems, networks, computer architecture, etc. IIT Hyderabad’s fractal system will let you take AI subjects and work on areas of ML and AI as well. So you are free to choose your research area.

Ultimately, you should determine what interests you and then only decide what to take. It’s better to research everything before making the final decision.

Artificial Intelligence is a specialization that is expected to be in high demand in the near future and its scope is yet to be determined. I don’t think it’s safe to go for a newly launched field that too from a new IIT. The program and institution both lack the necessary credibility. I would recommend you go for a general branch at a new IIT, a specialization like AI from a well-reputed institute. There are many factors one should consider like faculty, subject content, etc before going for a new specialization. 

Mechanical at IIT Guwahati on the other hand is a very safe choice considering the high credibility of the long-standing Institute. 

To make the best choice, I have entailed the pros and cons of both the institutes 

IIT Guwahati Pros

• A very established and beautiful campus that is on power backup

IIT Guwahati Cons

• Less academic flexibility in choosing courses
• Locational disadvantage results in less exposure to expert lectures 
• Major issues related to connectivity with high airfare
• Professors are very less motivated in delivering quality lectures due to lack of motivation.

IIT Hyderabad Pros

• Locational advantage results in better connectivity and excellent exposure to industry and experts
• More academic flexibility owing to the fractal academics
• Young and enthusiastic faculty members who have great experience and conduct top-notch research 

IIT Hyderabad Cons: 

• The permanent campus is still under construction.
• Relatively hot climate.

IIT Guwahati should never be your first choice and IIT Hyderabad is a much better option.

My brother was in a similar dilemma last year when he had to choose between MnC IIT Guwahati and CSE IIT Indore. Eventually, he went for IIT Indore CSE. The main reason he decided against going for the MnC program was his lack of interest in Math. And when we talk about Math at IIT, trust me when I say it’s at another level. It’s purely proof-based and high-level Math that can be handled only by true Math lovers. The academic workload is also high with 60% Math and 40% CS courses.

Now, here are a few points that might convince you to join IIT Indore instead

• IIT Indore qualified for ACM-ICPC World Finals thrice. This in itself is quite an achievement considering this event's importance.
• As per HackerRank, IIT Indore is said to have the best coders in the whole country. Additionally, it’s at the 8th position globally for the best coders
• IIT Indore has an extensive alumni base who completed their Master's from top foreign universities like Stanford, Caltech, University of Columbia. Many talented alumni also increase the credibility of the institute by working at reputed firms like Google and Facebook.
• This year, the CS department recorded 100% placements with the highest and average packages standing at INR 48.5 LPA and INR 30.32 LPA respectively.

Overall, IIT Indore CSE is a much better choice than MnC IIT Guwahati considering the work of and job opportunities.

As opposed to the preconceived notion, not every college in Pune is visited by the best companies. In fact, good companies can go to a great college even if it’s located in the middle of nowhere. That being said, WCE Sani is a better choice than VIT Pune in terms of the opportunities it offers. 

• Placement: WCE has many big IT giants visiting the campus for placements. 
• Club Activity: WCE has an active club life with many Technical & Non- Technical clubs. These clubs ensure the holistic development of the students
• Senior-Junior Interaction: Juniors receive constant guidance from seniors throughout their college life and there is a healthy relationship between them. 
• Campus: WCE's infrastructure may not be at par with other private colleges but it has a big well-maintained campus spread over 90 acres with full greenery in it.

Hope this helps you!

Without any second thoughts, CSE at MNIT Jaipur seems to be a far better option than CSE at NIT Rourkela. Although many rankings claim otherwise, it's a well-known fact that these rankings are forged and shouldn't be the determining factor.

• MNIT Jaipur has a vast and well-maintained campus with many modern facilities. For instance, it has Asia's largest lecture complex
• MNIT Jaipur has excellent infrastructure for its CSE branch such as a well-equipped computer center.
• MNIT Jaipur enjoys a good location with respect to leisure spots. Jaipur's biggest mall, WTP and is located within walking distance
• MNIT Jaipur CSE average package was recorded at INR 20.49 LPA while the highest package for CSE was INR 64 LPA.

Although individual opinions may vary, I consider CSE at MNIT Jaipur a more appropriate choice than NIT Rourkela. 

You should choose BIT Mesra ECE. It has a better brand value. It will be easier to get good opportunities in terms of placements and higher education. 

BIT Mesra placements are excellent. Each year almost 85% of students get placed in ECE branch. The average CTC offered to the students of ECE ranges between INR 5 -10 LPA.
