Should I go for IIT Goa Electrical or NIT Kurukshetra CSE even though I have interest in CSE?

My uncle is a professor of Mathematics at IIT Delhi. According to him, one should prioritize the subject/ branch instead of the college while making such decisions. You have an interest in CSE, as mentioned by you. In that case, you should go for the best college that is offering you CSE. An ‘IIT’ tag is definitely worthy and IITs have their own advantages. However, it will boil down to nothing if you have no interest in your branch. But, I also wish to make it clear that NIT Kurukshetra does not offer CSE (Computer Science Engineering). Instead, it offers Computer Engineering (CE). The former revolves around Software, while the latter pays more attention to Hardware. Try to find out more about CE, and then make your final decision. If you decide that CE is a better choice for you, go for NIT Kurukshetra. Otherwise, choose the other option. You can also look for some other good colleges that offer CSE.

All about IIT GOA

About cost, as we know each Iit has the same fees i.e. 12 to 15 lakh for four years but those who have a family income of less than 5 lakh benefited with remission where the fees are reduced almost to half the total amount. And being a government college if you compare it with private colleges you will feel that you are studying for literally no cost. Various private and government scholarships are provided to students wherein the remaining fees also get waived. And if you have exceptionally well cpi then keep in mind every funding organisation has an eye on you. The same means for companies as well, just give your best rest to them. Since I am in the first year I don't have much information about stipends but I have heard that you get around 30 to 40k stipends from seniors
