Which decision is better with AIR 730: CS in IIT BHU or Mechanical in IITD?

Both IITD Mechanical as well as IIT BHU CSE are good branches. IIT BHU is 100 Years old Institution and offers a huge Alumni Network. The course curriculum of CSE is designed in a way that will give you enough Industry exposure. Coding Culture at IIT BHU is also very impressive with 10-12 GSOC Selections every year. The Department Club of Programmers (COPS) conducts Codefest which is the annual Department Fest which witnesses the participation of students and programmers worldwide. Moreover, besides Technical things at IIT BHU you can build up other skills since there are many clubs for Extracurriculars like Aeromodelling Club, Robotics Club, Business Club, Cultural Societies, Film & Media Council, etc. Apart from this, the Life at IIT BHU campus and city life of Varanasi is amazing. The average placement package at this IIT is nearly around 8.19 Lakhs while the Highest was 1.54 Crore in 2019. All the top companies including top tech giants Google, Microsoft, Facebook, Amazon offer jobs as well as other sectors where students get jobs are Consulting, Analytics, Education, Business, etc. IITD is an old well-reputed IIT. Faculties of the Mechanical Department at IITD are very good and experienced. Also, Peer Group at IITD is very competitive since many top rankers join this college. Mechanical Engineering course curriculum is good and one which provides industry skills. Besides Academics IITD too has many Clubs, Societies where students can join to develop different skills. Also, Campus life of IITD and the City life that Delhi offers is quite amazing. Placements too at IITD are good. In 2019 Mechanical Engineering was the brunch with the highest placement records. Many top Mechanical Core companies visit campus such as HUL, ITC, WIPRO, CBS, HONDA, etc. There are also other job profiles available such as Data Analytics, Software, Consulting, Finance, Education, etc. You should choose the branch depending on your Interest. Choose Mechanical only if you have keen interest otherwise choose CSE to get more opportunities.

Should I choose mechanical engineering in IIT-D or CSE at NIT Surathkal?

Both Mechanical and CSE are good branches and offer ample placement opportunities. In this case, you should choose between the colleges. IIT Delhi is one of the top Engineering colleges in India. They have the finest faculty, and IITD alumni have the highest number of unicorns in India. With an IIT tag, you can easily grab a job in top MNCs. Being an IITian opens great opportunities for you to pursue your higher studies at US/European Universities. IIT Delhi Placements are top-notch. Even its Mechanical branch records an average salary close to 12 LPA. Several Finance, IT, and non-IT MNCs are open for every branch during placement season at IIT Delhi. So, you can switch to an IT career later on. For UPSC/GATE aspirants, Delhi is the ideal location. CSE is a more in-demand branch at present. However, IIT Delhi offers much more opportunities to its students than NIT Surathkal. Therefore, I would suggest you choose ME at IITD rather than CSE at NIT Surathkal.

Fees and Financial Aid:

The semester fees for our institution is 114000 which includes 100000 as tution fee and 8600 as the hostel rent and the other are charges of exams and 1 time payable charges.So the yearly fees will be double of it. There are no lab fees and its totally free of cost. No discount is provided to categories in our college it all depends on the Parentel income of the child.If its more than 5 lakh then you have to pay whole fees of the college.If your parental income is between 1 lakh to 5 lakh then we have to pay one third of the fees,and if the parental income is less than 1 lakh then ypu do not have to pay any fees in our college. The Alumins of our college provide various scholarships to 1st year students. Also if any one has to persue higher studies in abroad then scholarship is provided to them.

IIT Delhi - a plethora of opportunities.

Per semester there is an academic fee of about 1 lakh rupees which comprises of labs, tuition fee, hostel seat rent fee and all. Then there is a hostel/mess fee of about 35000 rupees per semester for mess and room. Three meals a day and a snack break in the evening. There are many facilities that economically hindered candidates can consider such as taking a loan from the bank in campus. The EWS also have a very substantially low fee which I'm not so sure or exactly.

The courses are actually rigorous and you have to work hard to score a good grade And also unlike other colleges we have to read a huge content and it is more than the standard

Life at IIT Delhi

The fee structure is not rational for everyone it should be equal for everyone regardless of their category

Semester fee if you belong to general and OBC and your yearly income is above 9 lakh then you have to pay tutition fee of about 1 lakh 20 thousand and then there are different charges for hostel and mess. Approximately you need to pay around 40 thousand in total per semester for mess and hostel. For SC and ST regardless of thier income there is no tution fee But paying fee is very easy for IIT students as we can easily get Loan from bank at very low interest

The IITD experience

The non-graded course helps some relaxation from academic pressure.

The academic pressure is significant as it is hard for me.

Yearly fees depends on category for EWS and ST/SC. The registration fees of JOSAA was 17500. One time payment was 8150 Other charges were 6250. Refundable caution deposit was 8000. So The total fee payable was 22400 for the semester (except this semester as the fees submitted to Josaa was adjusted in this (5000 for JOSAA only). There final was 12500.) Because of scholarship for category students, the tution fees is relaxed i.e. I was relaxed tution fees of 100000. My other batcmates from Genral pay 100000 extra from me.
