What should I choose between NIT Surathkal CSE and IIT Kanpur civil chemical

I would recommend you choose IIT over NIT any day irrespective of the branch because it is recognized globally. The quality of packages and roles offered are also better and with the right motivation and determination, one can even change his branch to a better one. At IIT Kanpur, I would advise you to go for Chemical rather than Civil. BTech Chemical Engineering combined with Masters in Petroleum Engineering is the highest paying bracket in the USA with more than 74000 Jobs available for outsiders in the Middle East, US, and Canada at a five yr median of $ 18600. Additionally, at IIT Kanpur the ocean of electives to choose from enables you to pursue CS course side by side through certifications in 64/128/256 bit SSL Encryption, Data Structures, and Oracle which have great importance. While CS students can be found everywhere, you will find only a few Chemical Engineers. Concludingly, it’s best to go for IIT Kanpur Chemical for the long term or IIT Kanpur Civil with a branch change to EEE or Mechanical in mind.

Why is IIT Kanpur CS preferred over IIT Kharagpur and IIT Madras?

Firstly, let me make it clear that Kanpur, Delhi, and Mumbai are preferred over IIT Kharagpur and IIT Madras for almost every branch. The main reasons are as follows. Placements: The placements at IIT Kanpur are slightly better than Kharagpur. Trend: While choosing an institute, students tend to choose an institute based on the past year’s trend. Since the campus placement record for the top 5 IITs remains the same over the past 5 years, students tend to go to these institutes. These are a few of the reasons why students prefer IIT Kanpur for CS over IIT KGP and IIT Madras.

Which branch is better, IIT Kanpur statistics and data science (B.Sc) or IIT Dhanbad CSE?

Both the courses are good. However, with the advancement of technologies like AI and ML, and one’s increasing dependency upon them, Data Science has become a field with immense potential. Data Science has a lot of future scope, and its demand will only increase with time. This field requires a good understanding of Statistics, Mathematics, and Computer Science (Especially Python Language). BSc. in Data Science is an even better option than CSE at present. Moreover, college-wise, IIT Kanpur is way ahead of IIT Dhanbad. Therefore I would recommend you choose BSc. Statistics and Data Science at IIT Kanpur over CSE at IIT Dhanbad.
