Which is better, IGDTUW CSE or NIT Calicut CSE?

I have a cousin who is currently working as a senior software engineer at Walmart. He is anex-student of IGDTUW. This alone negates all the claims of people stating IGDTUW is a below-average institute with poor infrastructure and zero placement opportunities. In fact, the first job he landed with campus placements was at Adobe. His juniors got placed in better companies like Google, Facebook, etc which speaks of the improving placement scenario. Here is a comparative analysis of the placement scenario of these institutes Particulars IGDTUW BTech CSE NIT Calicut BTech CSE Batch Strength 156 148 Students Placed 98 148 Highest CTC INR 55 LPA 67.62 LPA Average CTC - 20.54 LPA Its true that NIT Calicut may have an upper hand in terms of infrastructure, but in the long run, that does not really matter. A college can give you the wings to fly and it's on you how high you rise. Moreover, being a girl, you will have better opportunities in a girl's college like IGDTUW. Yes, you will have to make small sacrifices like moving away from your home and adjusting to minimal facilities but in the end, it will be worth it!

Which should my daughter choose, a CSE from IGDTUW or a ECE from NSIT/DTU/IIIT Delhi?

The choice between CSE from IGDTUW and ECE from NSIT/DTU/IIIT depends on the goals of your daughter. If she is planning to pursue higher studies like MS or a Ph.D., then IIIT Delhi is a decent choice as it’s a research-oriented college. But if she is looking for a job, then IIIT Delhi will offer limited opportunities. This is because getting a job in Core ECE companies like Western Digital and Qualcomm is not easy, as these companies prioritize master students. A few talented students do get placed in Software firms. In IIIT Delhi first year is the same for both CSE and ECE during which the students are taught Introduction to Programming, System Management, Computer Organisation, Data Structure, and Digital Circuits. Your chances of placement also depend on your CGPA which should be preferably above 7. IIIT Delhi offers the flexibility to choose the CSE courses, provided that you complete the minimum credits requirement in the last two years of B.Tech for the degree. In all, I feel, that NSIT and DTU will offer great job opportunities because of their brand name but IIIT Delhi will teach you new things and also offer research opportunities So it’s best to go for NSIT or DTU or IIIT Delhi. Choose wisely.

A tale about igdtuw

The courses offered by the college to first years so they can go for internship after the first year only and the placement record of the college over the years is also fascinating.

As a first year student i paid 1.12 lakhs in total in which 73 thousands is tution fee ,caution fee is 5 thousands, one time fee is 2 thousands and 32 thousands other fees per annum . In total for the completion of btech course in the igdtuw a student will pay roughly around 5.5 lakhs as fee. Our college provide us with different types of scholarship options if u got A in the your semester exams you will get relaxation in the college fees. And other scholarship option provided bythe government also students apply for from college and secured good scholarship opportunity.
