Which is better, BITS Goa or NIT Calicut?

SD
Sunil Dutta Posted On : April 8th, 2021
B.Tech Mechanical Engineering, National Institute of Technology, Calicut (2018)

This question sparks a debate among people. You might find some say that even biotechnology at NIT C is better than CSE at BITS Goa; all these are baseless claims. It is strongly suggested to look at the placement statistics before reaching a conclusion.

BITS Goa is way better than NIT Calicut. Forget biotechnology, even CSE at BITS Goa is better than CSE at NIT C.

Categories

BITS Goa

NIT Calicut

Course Fee

19.19 lakh

5.42 lakh

Placement Percentage

90%

89.72%

Highest CTC

19 LPA

18-19 LPA

Average CTC

12-13 LPA

15 LPA

Recruiting Companies

Intel, Qualcomm, Microsoft, Google, etc.

Qualcomm Technologies, HCL, Accenture, Goldman Sachs etc.

At NIT C, if you go for biotechnology, you will be placed through mass recruitment in companies like TCS, with a maximum salary of 3 lakhs. These companies have no connection with biotechnology. However, CSE at BITS, Goa can get you placed even at Google. This is definitely not a baseless claim, pre-placement offers and the number of GSOC selections are enough evidence for the same.

Comparing BITS Pilani and IIIT Hyderabad, BITS Pilani ≥ IIIT Hyderabad. The greater than symbol is only because of how old the institutes are. So finally this goes like BITS Goa ≥ IIIT Delhi ≥ BITS Hyderabad.

How good is the placement record of Karunya University?

AB
Ashmita Banerjee Posted On : October 16th, 2023
CSE at Karunya University (2019)

Karunya has a decent placement record. Most companies that visit Karunya are service-based like TCS, Tech Mahindra, Accenture, etc. They conduct mass recruiters and outsource the students for various projects. Hardly 10% of product-based companies come to Karunya. Recruiters consider Karunya students best for BPO-related jobs rather than development-related jobs. Hardly any students qualify for the technical test conducted by ELGI India.

Ultimately the service-based companies don't add any credibility to the placements. Although all students or the majority of the students get placed, it lacks offers from Product-based companies. So it serves quality over quantity.

Can a non-CS student in NIT Surathkal sit for CSE placement?

DB
Ditsha Banerjee Posted On : September 15th, 2023
Studied at National Institute of Technology Karnataka, Surathkal

There are no specific placements for CSE as it's just one of the many branches of engineering. Most companies like Oracle and Fidelity allow students of all branches to sit for placements while some big companies like Microsoft only allow B.Tech CSE ECE EEE, and M.Tech CSE students who have qualified for the CGPA cutoff 7. Every company has its own CGPA criteria and to stay on the safe side and be eligible for the maximum companies try to score 7+. So if you fulfill the criteria, you can apply for any company irrespective of the branch you are from. For shortlisting, CS companies conduct online coding tests after which you are selected for the interview. So no matter which branch you belong to, you have to be proficient in coding. 

In short, if you want to get selected for CSE placement,

  • Maintain a CGPA of more than 8, every semester
  • Actively participate in competitive programming right from the first year.
  • Learn and practice from sites like Geeksforgeeks, and Techdelight.
  • Be proficient in topics like C++, Data structures, and Algorithms to bag offers in big companies.
  • Practice from coding Platforms like CodeChef, and Leetcode.

Basically, the more you become proficient in Competitive Programming, the better offers you will get!
