Which is best: IT at MNNIT, Allahabad; IT at IIIT, Allahabad; CSE at BIT, Mesra; or CSE at MANIT, Bhopal?
My brother is currently studying IT at IIIT Allahabad and according to his first-hand experience and your interest in IT, the order of preference for you should be:
IIITA>MNNIT>BITM>MANIT
It is because if you are genuinely interested in IT then IIIT Allahabad is the best option you can choose because of the following key points:
- The campus is well equipped in terms of infrastructure and facilities and the coding culture is quite good there. Also, it is an institute specifically made for IT, so the infrastructure is planned according to it.
- The course structure at IIIT Allahabad is also strikingly different from what you'll find at any other engineering college in India. It focuses a lot on programming and electronics-related subjects, right from the first year itself.
In NITs, you need to study a lot of subjects not at all related to your branch or course!
However, MNNIT or BIT Mesra may prove to be better options in case you realize that computers are not your cup of tea and decide to go into the non-tech sector. You will have a lot of diverse companies visiting these campuses, while in IIIT Allahabad you’ll see only IT companies coming to recruit.
Also, JEE Main rank of all the options you mentioned will differ from each other. So your rank also plays a major role in selection.
Is it better to take Civil engineering at IIT Bombay than IT at MNNIT Allahabad or not?
On an overall scale, Civil Engineering from IIT Bombay will be a better option. But you should always give preference to branch over the institute. If you aren’t an IT enthusiast, choose IIT Bombay. It offers better career prospects and placement opportunities. IIT Bombay offers unparalleled academics, peer learning opportunities, exposure, and placement opportunities.
During the recent IIT Bombay placements, Civil Engineering students received the average CTC of INR 8 LPA. The highest CTC for the branch goes up to INR 60 LPA.

Which is a better choice between CS at BITS Goa and IT at IIIT Allahabad?
CSE at IIIT Allahabad wins hands down when the choice is between IIIT-A and BITS Goa. Both institutes have the same coursework for CSE, but IIIT-A offers it for one-third the fee of BITS Goa. Most of the students opt for BITS just for the brand name. The faculty at the BITS campus is not as good as that of IIIT Allahabad as it is funded by MHRD while BITS is a private institute.
IIIT-A is popular for its coding culture. IT is one of the flagship courses offered there and placement records are at their best. Placement in the software domain is any day better at IIITs when compared to BITS.

How is the placement of CSE, IT, and ECE branches at Hindustan University?
Here is all I know about the placement scenario of these branches at my university.
These are some top companies that visit the campus-
PwC , EY, Sap labs, Musigma, Amazon,ThoughtWorks, Hitachi Consulting, IBM India, HSBC, Huawei Technology, Zoho Corporation, Capgemini, CSC, ITC infotech, L&T Infotech, Gofrugal, Virtusa, Payoda, Code Brahma, Standard Chartered Scope Int, Ericsson, MAQ for internship, Unisys, Volante technologies, Verizon, TEK systems, HUL, Amadeus Software Labs, HP india, Alcatel, NTT Data, etc.
Companies like Amazon and MAQ software provide PPOs as well. Other than these, mass recruiters- TCS, Infosys, Cognizant, Wipro, Accenture and Capgemini visit the campus with IT job profiles. HUL, Exxotel, Scope int, Tata communications, etc. are open to all branches.
The companies offer around 3-6 LPA on an average. The salary can also exceed 10 LPA in case of companies like DE Shaw and HSBC. Mass recruiters pay around 3.2-3.5 LPA.
Thus, the placements at Hindustan University are quite decent for CSE, ECE and IT.
What should I choose between CSD at IIIT Delhi and IT at DTU?
CSD and IT have practically the same core subjects. You’ll have a similar curriculum in either of the options. Unless you have a strong interest in the design aspect of CSD, the choice is mainly between the two colleges.
IIITD is very research-oriented. It has state-of-the-art research labs and facilities. You’ll be exposed to dedicated and active research groups over there. Academics are taken quite seriously. You’ll study your subjects in depth for the next 4-5 years.
At DTU on the other hand, academics are very laid back. You’ll get lots of time for extracurriculars. You can polish your skills in the area of your interest.
If you are sure to build a future in Computer Science, join IIIT Delhi. But if you wish to explore yourself, and polish your skills in some other field, join DTU.
Should I study ECE at IIIT, Allahabad or IT at BIT, Mesra?
An ECE at IIIT, Allahabad is preferable to an IT at BIT, Mesra. Of course, the choice of the branch is subjective and should be chosen based on our own interests and preferences. But still, a degree at IIIT Allahabad is much more valuable than that of BIT Mesra.
The best thing about IIIT, Allahabad is its focus on research and thus will provide you the extra edge over other similar level candidates. The course structure is very focused and you will get subjects such as integrated robotics and many others. IIIT, Allahabad also offers the best facilities to hone your programming skills.
The table below will give a few stats of both the institutes.

Thus IIIT Allahabad is favored.
What is your review for MVJ College of Engineering for information science?
According to me, the Information Science and Engineering program at MVJCE Bangalore is good. This is my opinion not because I have completed the same degree from this college, but because I have friends who’ve been to other colleges for the same (or similar) course.
The curriculum at MVJCE is similar to other engineering colleges, but there are certain advantages to pursuing Information Science from there. The department faculty is not only highly educated, but skilled in teaching as well. They were always very supportive, and made us understand the practical applications of each and every concept.
Apart from that, the college placement cell also does a decent job. It was particularly my teachers whose support enabled me to grab a well paying job during campus placements.
