CUSAT is your best bet if you are willing to pursue a Masters's or PG.
CUSAT has the freedom to design the curriculum for its students that suits their needs perfectly and imparts quality education. It has highly experienced professors who are keen to train the students and don’t just teach for the sake of completing the syllabus. CET on the other hand follows the KTU syllabus, one of the most average institutes of Kerala so the quality of education is sacrificed a lot.
In CET, professors sometimes are just transferred by the government, which never is the case with CUSAT. Additionally, CUSAT received huge funds from the government to support its large-scale research projects.
Ultimately, CUSAT is a better choice than CET for Masters while CET is a better option for Bachelor.
For Masters in Applied Computer Science, Concordia University is better. The university has a locational advantage. It is in Montreal, which is becoming an IT hub. You can get good exposure to the programming and gemming industry. Concordia has demanding coursework. You will have to clear programming tests in the first year of the degree, itself. If you are good at coding and think analytically to implement the solution in a practical way, this course is ideal for you.
Here is a brief highlight of Concordia’s Masters in Applied Computer Science.

Whether one institution is better than the other is based on individual discretion. A conclusion must be drawn keeping factors like faculty, academic quality, personal disposition, and expectations in mind.
It depends on the college you are getting admission under Delhi University. If you are able to get into one of the top colleges in the North or South campus of Delhi University, you should stick with it. Otherwise, choosing AUD over DU will be better. One other thing that you should consider while making the choice is your ultimate goal, i.e. research/job. You should definitely choose AUD if you are interested in pursuing research.
Great Lakes, Chennai is better known for its 1-year PGPM program, while the PGDM program has not gained the same level of attention or appreciation as its PGPM counterpart. Additionally, as a relatively new B-school, Great Lakes is not as established as IMT Ghaziabad, which has a rich legacy of around 30 years.
While it's true that the batch size of IMT Ghaziabad can be seen as a drawback, if you are in the top 20-30% of the batch, your placements can be comparable to top-tier B-schools like NMIMS, IIFT, and IIM I/K. IMT is particularly known for its marketing specialization, so if you want to specialize in marketing, IMT can be considered a default choice.
Yes, BITS Pilani does get international offers for placements. The institute has a strong reputation for producing skilled and competent engineering graduates, and as a result, many top companies from around the world visit the campus for placements. Over the years, BITS Pilani has established partnerships with numerous international organizations, providing students with opportunities for international internships and employment.
Additionally, the institute has a strong alumni network, with many graduates working in top positions in renowned multinational corporations. These factors contribute to the institute's reputation for providing excellent placement opportunities, both in India and abroad.
While many may not agree, the new IIMs are far better than NMIMS. People prefer NMIMS mainly because of its location and legacy. If you come out of that criteria then you realize that the new IIMs are much more. I have compared the new IIMs with NMIMS on the basis of a few aspects.
So the new IIMs are far better in terms of brand, faculty, and even ROI.
SRM Easwari Engineering College is better for CSE. The placements are great. Around 80-90% of students get placed from the branch each year. The average CTC received by the students is around INR 4.04 LPA. Students of CSE get recruited in software development, data science, and other core areas. Zoho, TCS, Amazon, etc. are among the major recruiters to take part in the placement drive.
