As far as computer science is concerned, everyone is very well aware that it is quite a well-reputed branch in engineering. Coincidentally, it is also one of the best branches at Bhartiya Vidyapeeth. Additionally, the fact that it is located in Pune and its role in the IT industry could also play an advantage to you.

However, when it comes to faculty, it is not that great. The teachers are known to be quite uncooperative and a few of them probably don’t have much idea about programming. You will also be disappointed by their teaching.

The course curriculum is definitely updated regularly but you will have to study on your own. There are a lot of advanced topics included in your course which will eventually help you in your placements.

If you are a boy, hostel facilities will only be available for a year for you. For girls, these are available throughout the course. The mess is okay enough with the Wi-Fi facility in the hostel. They also provide you with any medical aid you may need. Libraries are also open up till midnight if you wish to study late.

The college is old and reputed but you will definitely have to take some risks if you wish to attend CS at Bhartiya Vidyapeeth.

Both of them are very good colleges and are recognized and reputed colleges of our country, but there are certain aspects which make them different from each other and in this scenario, CSE at SGSITS will be much better than at IET DAVV. Here are the reasons. 

• Faculty: The faculty of SGSITS is very talented and experienced, and all of them have done PhD from IITs and IISC. This can be considered a big achievement and can be one of the major reasons to join SGSITS. 
• Campus Life: The campus life of SGSITS is very good and the technical fest is amazing. But the cultural fest of IET DAVV is very good too. 
• Placements: The placements of SGSITS are very good as its alumni network is very good which has resulted in good placements every year. Companies like Infosys, Wipro, Microsoft, Deloitte, TCS, and many other top companies visit the campus every year and recruit many students. And the highest number of students recruited are from the CSE branch.
• Brand Value: As SGSITS is a very old institute and has produced remarkable results over the years, it is widely recognized by people and holds great value in the corporate world which can be much beneficial for your career, in securing higher packages.

Overall, it is safe to say that SGSIT is a better alternative.

Both of these institutions would definitely be on the list if you are planning your engineering from one of the many colleges in Mumbai.

Currently, IIIT Una facilitates education through two temporary campuses of Dev Bhumy Group of Institutes, Himachal Pradesh and the NIT campus at Hamirpur, the main campus is still under construction and the placement is average. 

The first batch of IIIT Una passed in 2018, with an average salary of INR 3-4 LPA and highest salary of INR 10-12 LPA. In 2020, 90% students were placed and the average salary increased to 8 LPA and the highest to 16 LPA, hence it is being assumed that these statistics will improve in the upcoming years to reach the level of performance of NIT Hamirpur. 

For now, you'd like to know these -

• NIT Hamirpur has been ranked #98 by NIRF and Thapar ranks #29 on the same.
• As IIIT Una is working under the aegis of NIT Hamirpur, the institute receives the same companies for placement as does NIT Hamirpur. This year, names like Infosys, Reliance and IBM graced the campus and the highest package offered was INR 62 LPA.
• For COE, Thapar University students receive an average salary of INR 6-7 LPA.

It is difficult to assume anything in the case of IIIT Una, it has improved from the 2018 statistics, but it cannot be said how successful it'll be in four years' time. Whereas Thapar University is developing well as far as placements are concerned, in 2020 the highest package offered to Thapar University students was INR 39 LPA and 990+ companies made offers to them.
