Should I opt for a minor degree in CSE or IT? I am an ECE major student at NIT Jalandhar.
Every opportunity has its pros and cons both. Similarly, opting for a minor degree in CSE being an ECE major at NIT Jalandhar is both beneficial and difficult. It will increase your academic load. It may or may not help you get better placements.
My personal suggestion would be to give up on a minor degree in CSE and rather pursue additional courses like
-
Machine Learning/Networking(CCNA)
-
Cloud Computing(GCP/AWS)
-
Competitive Coding
These skills will add value to your CV and pay you back tenfold rather than the CSE minor degree.
What should I choose between VIIT Pune (IT) and PVG (CS)?
VIIT should be the one to go for. First of all, it is an autonomous institute and has a good placement record in CS/IT branch and provides the best ROI, unlike PVG which is neither an autonomous institute nor has good placement. Both of them have minimum complimentary campus infrastructure.
VIIT falls under one of the emerging and best universities in Maharashtra i.e. Vishwakarma University. If we look at other parameters like Faculty, Placement, and Infrastructure, VIIT excels in all. It is improving at a good rate nowadays.
Here is the table comparing the placements of VIIT Pune & PVG.

Which college will be better for me, NIT Trichy (production engineering) or NIT Jalandhar (CS, IT)?
Comparing the two NITs we know NIT Trichy has a better ranking than NIT Jalandhar. It also holds a stronger brand name. Unless you are extremely interested in Software, I suggest Production Engineering is a better choice. Some points to prove my opinion are:
-
NIT Trichy ranks in the top 15 engineering institutes in the country from a placement perspective.
-
More companies visit for campus placements like Amazon, Microsoft, Flipkart, and Cisco.
-
NIT Trichy has an upper hand in faculty, infrastructure, competitive environment, peers, resources, curriculum, labs, and alumni network.
-
Many finances, banking, consulting, etc. based roles are offered at NIT Trichy and these opportunities are considerably low at mid-level NITs such as NIT Jalandhar.
-
Post Graduation, if you wish to switch sectors then the brand name of NIT Trichy will help you along the way.
So don't lose a much stronger brand simply because of a simple stream issue. Years down the line, your credibility will be determined by the brand of NIT Trichy solely and not by production engineering at NIT Trichy.
