My friend did his B.Tech ECE from NSIT. According to him, NSIT ECE is a better choice than BIT Mesra CSE. Here are the reasons for his preference for NSIT ECE-

• Location- NSIT graduates have greater access to major industries due to its closeness to cities like Noida and Gurugram. For CAT, GRE, GMAT, etc., Delhi has a good coaching center facility.

• Brand Value- The brand value of NSIT is greater than that of BIT Mesra.

• Faculty at NSIT - You will be taught by some of the best professors in the country at the NSIT ECE department. Their letter of recommendation will open numerous doors for you.

• Seniors at NSIT- The seniors at NSIT are very helpful. Some of your seniors working at top firms may even refer you for an internship/job interview.

• Classes are held regularly at NSIT- There is a 75% attendance criteria at NSIT. The teachers also come for the lectures regularly.

• Coding Culture at NSIT- The coding culture at NSIT is great and their coders make it to GSoC every year. Some of them are also ranked highly on sites like TopCoder and CodeChef.

• Placements- The placements at NSIT are better than BIT Mesra. ECE students from NSIT get placed in core electronics companies, tech, and non-tech firms. Some of these companies are- Texas Instruments, Airtel, KPMG, Bain, BCG, McKinsey, TCS, Maruti Suzuki, Expedia, Google, Uber, etc. 

• The ECE course has been recently updated by NSIT as per the industry standards. You will get to choose among electives from the first year itself. The electives range from Finance to Sports.

• NSIT is the only Indian college to send delegations to the prestigious Harvard MUN.

Thus, I would suggest you choose NSIT ECE over BIT Mesra CSE.

BITS Mesra is a large campus spread across 980 acres of land. So technically speaking, it is not practical to give access to the wifi on the whole campus. But it is easily available in the main building, library, and hostels. BIT Mesra is technologically advanced, which is also reflected in its internet connectivity. 

Unlimited wifi with good internet speed is available so that you can take advantage of it for both academic purposes and personal use.

My brother closely followed the internship recruitments at BIT Mesra and here are his insights about the recruitment criteria of some of the major IT firms-

• Directi - To intern at Directi, you must be good in all the areas of CSE. You must be an excellent algorithm programmer with a good knowledge of technical concepts and a project to support the same. Very few candidates are able to clear the first onsite coding round during the placement process and 1-2 get selected for the internship program.

• Microsoft - Microsoft recruits students who are excellent at C, MS products and GeeksforGeeks. The multiple rounds during recruitment consist of- objective questions round, coding round, telephonic rounds, paper-pen coding round and interview. You must be good at C, must prepare well for Data Structures interview questions, and must have a good knowledge of technical topics. A good CGPA of 8-8.5+ definitely gives you an edge above the other students.

• Goldman Sachs - The first round consists of questions on numerical aptitude and technical understanding. Your understanding of C++ oops concepts/C++ output questions/Data structures/Complexity/OS/DBMS is tested. This round is followed by a GD round. Make sure to listen carefully to all the instructions provided during mock GD. The 3rd and 4th rounds are technical and HR rounds respectively. Mention only those areas as your strengths in your resume that you are actually good at and confident about. The questions for this round include- Math puzzles, OOPS concept in (C++/Java), Data structures /SQL queries/Open ended questions/C++ concepts[Constructor/destructor/Virtual functions]/ Java Concepts. 

• Besides these, students also go for off campus internships at IIT BOMBAY, PlayEzio and other startups.

Thus, to grab an on campus/off campus internship during your 3rd year CSE from BIT Mesra, you need to work very hard and sharpen your technical knowledge and coding skills.

Unlike most Engineering colleges, BIT Mesra follows the absolute grading system instead of the relative grading system. In the relative grading system, grading is done relative to the marks of the subject topper, who gets a 10 for that subject.

For a 10 CGPA in a subject at BIT Mesra, you must score 90 marks or above in it. It is a bit challenging to score marks in certain subjects. Getting a 9 CGPA is going to be tougher than you think. Only around 2 to 4 B.Tech students from a batch of around 700 are able to score that high.

However, you must not get disheartened or lose hope. If you study diligently and seek the guidance of your seniors and teachers, you can be one of those few high achievers.
