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.

Normally for students, the semister fee is one lakh fifty thousand. The campus also provides scholarships for merit students. But based on their parental income they are providing remission in fees. After remission, my actual fees are around 50k.

Brief view on IIT Goa

The college offers stipends to students if they participate as teaching assistants. And the option is only for fourth-year BTech students. Some scholarships are provided by colleges collaborating with other organizations. Even education loan odds are provided.
