Which is the better option; doing computer engineering at SVNIT-Surat, Gujarat or b.tech in ict at DA-IICT Gandhinagar, Gujarat??
According to my friends at DAIICT, it is definitely a better choice among the two. Considering factors like placement, brand reputation, and coding culture.
The points below give a brief overview of some of the advantages of choosing DAIICT over SVNIT.
- According to some professors of SVNIT itself, DAIICT is a better institute for CSE and IT, compared to SVNIT.
- The overall placement statistics of DAIICT are far better than that in SVNIT, with more high-paying jobs offered in the institute.
- DAIICT doesn’t have as good a reputation as NITs in India. But, in companies like Amazon, MAQ, Morgan Stanley, etc, DAIICT has a far better reputation than SVNIT.
- There is an excellent open-source coding environment in DAIICT.
- The number of GSoC entries from both institutes makes it evident that DAIICT has much more success in open-source contribution.

IIIT Bangalore iMtech in CSE or NIT Surathkal BTech in CSE, what should I choose?
NIT Surathkal B.Tech in CSE is definitely a better choice because it's one of the oldest institutes with a rich legacy. The department has lots of establishments in academics as well as industry. There are several well-established student activity bodies and an elaborate alumni base with a coding background.
I am strongly against you joining an integrated program at the bachelor's level because you first need to know the exact domain you are interested in. If you realize that you have taken the wrong branch then spending 5 years will become very difficult. BTech gives you enough time and opportunities to analyze what your interests are you can not decide, after 3-4 semesters, you will be able to judge yourself overall. Also, a B.Tech in CSE from NIT Karnataka with a good GRE score may help you get admission offers of MS abroad.
So go for NIT Surathkal BTech in CSE without any second thoughts.
Should I pursue IT in NIT Surathkal or CSE in SVNIT Surat?
Both NITK and SVNIT are tier-1 NITs and are excellent choices for engineering. Moreover both the branches are one of the most coveted branches so the choice of colleges is rather difficult here.
Go for CSE at SVNIT, if you are interested in CSE only. Usually CSE faculty is better than IT faculty. But if the tag of the college matters more then go for IT at NIT Surathkal as it has a better reputation than SVNIT in terms of job placement, alumni network, infrastructure, academics, start-up culture, etc. Here are a few additional reasons why you should choose NIT Surathkal
- The IT curriculum in NIT Surathkal is better than that of CSE in SVNIT on all parameters.
- The lab infrastructure and facilities are much better in NIT Surathkal. The curriculum is up to date.
- NIT Surathkal focuses on project-based learning. Every course has a practical aspect.
- Placement statistics of the IT dept in NIT Surathkal are also way better.
Ultimately, the choice between the two depends on your own preferences. However, I can say with certainty that choosing either colleges and branches will give you amazing results choices because CSE & IT are the most in-demand branches, combined with the tier-1 college tag.

Should I prefer JMI CSE or DTU mechanical?
Among the above two institutes, for students interested specifically in computer science, JMI CSE should be a better option. But, students having no specific preference in streams should consider Mechanical at DTU.
The table below gives a brief level of comparison among the two departments of the institutes.

Key Highlights:
- As discussed above, students interested in Computer Science and IT should take JMI CSE, which generally has some decent opportunities. The top 7% of the batch gets more than 7 LPA package salary in JMI CSE.
- Students having no specific preference can choose DTU Mechanical, which provides a large amount of exposure inside the campus, along with several good opportunities during and after the course.
- Students at DTU Mechanical usually get a 7.5+ LPA package offer in some of the best companies working in the core mechanical sector. The course of DTU Mechanical is considered to be one of the best in India.
- JMI has much lesser fees than DTU, which makes it a lot of a more preferred option. For students successful in getting a decent placement offer at JMI, it provides a much better return on investment than DTU.

What is a salary package after completing a B. Tech in Computer engineering from KJ Somaiya?
The college offers a package ranging from 3 LPA to 12 LPA. The placement process starts at the beginning of the 7th semester till the middle of the 8th semester.
Some companies are categorized as dream and non-dream companies by the students themselves. The companies which offer a package of 5 LPA or above are termed as the dream company and the one that offers a package of less than 5 LPA are termed as the non-dream companies. Companies offering a dream package for CSE and IT are aplenty.

Furthermore, if you end up being the lucky one among all the students and get selected in any of the dream companies in the first attempt itself, then you cannot sit for any other company and will have to take up that job. But if you are selected in two non-dream companies, you are no more eligible to sit for the placement process any further. You have to select any one of the two companies you have been selected for.
To get a good, impressive package, you need to maintain a good CGPA which is 6.0-7.5 and above. All the ATKTs must be clear, only then you would be able to see the various opportunities that would come your way.
