Which is better: IT at IIIT Allahabad or CSE at BIT Mesra?

Lives in Allahabad

One of my friends chose CSE at BIT Mesra over IT at IIIT Allahabad. However, he regretted his decision and after a month, got admission into IIIT Allahabad IT through the CSAB spot round.

BIT Mesra has a huge campus, however, its student intake is much higher as compared to IIIT Allahabad. Even in terms of location, Allahabad is a better choice than Mesra. 

In terms of placements, the average package for BIT CSE stood at INR 19.27 LPA 2022. At IIIT Allahabad, the average package for B.Tech stood at INR 30.68 LPA during the same year. 

The course fee is also much more affordable at IIIT Allahabad. The total course fee for B.Tech IT from IIIT Allahabad is INR 8,44,700, while at BIT, the B.Tech CSE course fee is INR 13,04,500 (does not include the hostel fees at both).

Thus, I would suggest you choose IT at IIIT Allahabad over CSE at BIT Mesra.

NIT Jalandhar's IT department is thriving. Students have access to the best teachers and air-conditioned classrooms. All of the teachers are highly qualified, with the majority holding doctorates in their respective fields. There is no reason to doubt their intelligence because the majority of these teachers are graduates of prestigious colleges such as IITs and NITs.

For the past 2-3 years, CSE placements have been the best in the region; you can expect the same from IT, as 50% of companies coming for CSE deal with this field.

After their second year, Microsoft comes to campus to recruit students for internships. Microsoft offers a package worth around 40 lacs per year, which is comparable to Amazon's package. Overall, the placement is excellent. Many reputable IT companies visit NIT Jalandhar and offer attractive packages to students. Companies such as Amazon, JPMC, Oracle, Samsung, Adobe, Ion Trading, Oyo Rooms, Mu Sigma, and many others come to recruit students at the college. Other branches can also benefit from the placement. 100% of CSE, IT, and ECE students are placed.

Should I pursue IT in NIT Surathkal or CSE in SVNIT Surat?

AA
Aarti Ahuja Posted On : September 14th, 2023
Lives in Ahmedabad

Both NITK and SVNIT are tier-1 NITs and are excellent choices for engineering. Moreover both the branches are one of the most coveted branches so the choice of colleges is rather difficult here. 

Go for CSE at SVNIT, if you are interested in CSE only. Usually CSE faculty is better than IT faculty. But if the tag of the college matters more then go for IT at NIT Surathkal as it has a better reputation than SVNIT in terms of job placement, alumni network, infrastructure, academics, start-up culture, etc. Here are a few additional reasons why you should choose NIT Surathkal

  • The IT curriculum in NIT Surathkal is better than that of CSE in SVNIT on all parameters.
  • The lab infrastructure and facilities are much better in NIT Surathkal. The curriculum is up to date.
  • NIT Surathkal focuses on project-based learning. Every course has a practical aspect. 
  • Placement statistics of the IT dept in NIT Surathkal are also way better.

Ultimately, the choice between the two depends on your own preferences. However, I can say with certainty that choosing either colleges and branches will give you amazing results choices because CSE & IT are the most in-demand branches, combined with the tier-1 college tag.

Which is better: IT at NITK or CSE at NITC?

KS
Khushi Sharma Posted On : August 21st, 2021
Studied at National Institute of Technology Karnataka, Surathkal (2019)

NIT Surathkal IT is far superior to NIT Calicut. It is well-known in India for its CSE/IT branches. It is a highly regarded engineering college in India, and after four years of B.Tech college, the specific branch does not matter.

NITK outperforms Calicut in terms of reputation and placements. Furthermore, because of the higher cutoffs, the quality of students may be slightly higher here.

IT at NITK is nearly equivalent to CSE here. During placements, nearly all companies open to CS are open for IT as well.

Categories IT at NITK CSE at NITC
Course fee 5.40 lakhs 5.42 lakhs
Placement rate 92% 85%
Average salary package 8 LPA 8.1 LPA
Highest salary package 35 LPA 36 LPA

The subjects taught and the syllabus in both departments are also similar. In fact, the IT department may be slightly better than the CS department in terms of facilities and infrastructure, as it is newer. Previously, the quality of students in CS was higher than in IT, but with significant increases in IT cutoffs, both are now equally good.
