In the USICT campus of IPU Delhi, which stream would be the best among CS and IT in terms of the basics of the study, most placements, average package etc?

I chose B.Tech in Information Technology because I’m really into tech and coding. The faculty here is mostly Ph.D. qualified, which helps in grasping the concepts better.

In terms of placements, last year was great with 70+ companies visiting, offering an average package of around 12 LPA. This year, the average has fallen to about 9 LPA, but that’s the current market scenario.

The curriculum is also practical and industry-oriented, which I appreciate. So, overall, I think IT is a strong stream to go for at USICT.

Honestly, I think the B.Tech + M.Tech in Information Technology is a solid choice at USICT. The faculty is mostly qualified, with many being Ph.D. holders, which really helps in understanding the subjects. Plus, the placement opportunities are decent, with a highest package of 45 LPA last year and an average around 12 LPA.

Although the average package dipped to about 9 LPA this year, it’s still competitive. The curriculum is also updated to include trending topics like AI and ML, which is great for future job prospects. Overall, IT seems to be doing well in terms of placements and practical exposure.

Both streams are pretty similar! The main difference lies in the fourth-year subjects, where 4 to 5 courses will vary. Other than that, everything else is alike! Aim for CSE, but if that's not an option, IT is a solid choice too. Hope this helps!

For me, pursuing B.Tech in Computer Science & Engineering at USICT was the right move. The faculty is knowledgeable, and while the student ratio isn't the best, the environment is quite supportive. When it comes to placements, last year we had a highest package of 45 LPA and an average package around 12 LPA, which is impressive.

Although the placement stats seem to have dropped a bit this year, getting a decent internship is still possible, with companies like Amazon and Adobe visiting for placement drives. The curriculum is good and hands-on, so I think you can get a good foundation here.

Short version: IT scores better in percentage. CSE covers more subjects. Placements are similar. Overall, there's not much difference.

It really depends. IT has more electronics-related courses compared to CSE. For the range of subjects, CSE stands out since they offer electives like Soft Computing and Artificial Intelligence. IT students, on the other hand, study topics like Mobile Computing and Distributed Systems. These might sound appealing, but the problem is the outdated syllabus, especially for Distributed Systems, which caused a lot of difficulties. From what I've seen, IT students generally score higher percentages than those in CSE. The highest percentage I noticed in IT was around 89%, while in CSE it was about 82-83%. So, IT folks seem to get better grades. As for placements, both streams are on equal footing since students from both can apply to the same companies related to their field.

Just a heads up, I've heard there's a syllabus update coming this year, so you might want to look at the new curriculum. If that's the case, IT could end up being the better choice.
