Which is better, a B.Arch from NIT Raipur or CSE from VIT Bhopal?

Choose B.Arch only if you are truly interested in Architecture. Here are the recent placement statistics for the courses mentioned in the question. Parameters VIT Bhopal CSE NIT Raipur B.Arch Average CTC 6.5 LPA 9.5 LPA Highest CTC 41 LPA 30 LPA Hence, choosing NIT Raipur over VIT Bhopal will be a very good choice as it is a much better college and it will help you to shape your career and future.

Best according to your rank

Fees in category 2 is about 3 lakhs per year and you include the hostel expenses then in total it would cost you about 19 lakhs for whole 4 years. In starting first year they would charge like 15000 for security money which they refund back and also they charge 17500 extra on hostel fees which they won't refund. Apart from these if you want hostel then fadavit are necessary.

My unbiased review of VIT Bhopal as a student studying here.

Student Snaps:

My yearly tution fee is rupees 2,00,000(2 Lakh) and if you opt for hostel, then hostel fees is between rupees 1,09,000 to 2,10,100. Your hostel fees depends on the type of room and bed you have chosen. Both the tution fees and hostel fees increase every year, with very little increment in the tution fees but high increment in the hostel fees. Now this tution fees of 2 lakh is not same for everybody. For Category 1 only, it's 2 lakh and for the other categories, Cat- 2 to Cat-5, the fees increases by 1 lakh. So far Cat-2, it is 3 lakh per annum and for Cat-5, it's somewhat 5 Lakh per annum. You also have to pay various other kinds of fees like counselling fee(INR 6000), admission fee(INR 15000), hostel admission fee(INR 15000 refundable fee + INR 17500 non- refundable fee), etc. At the moment, this university has no scholarship scheme of its own.
