IIIT is the place to be if CSE is your passion.

USICT offers a dual degree program which is B.Tech + M.Tech in a span of six years. Which limits your choice of opting for a masters’ program on your own. Also, the course is not an integrated program that is for five years, so you are not even saving one year. You will have to complete your usual B.Tech in four years and then M.Tech for three years.

The following table shows the placement details for both institutions:

Institute	USICT	IIIT Vadodara
Average CTC	9 LPA	13 LPA
Highest CTC	14-15 LPA	43.5 LPA
Major recruiters	Amazon, TCS, Flipkart	Zolo, L&T Infotech, Code Nation

However, USICT is a well-established institution in comparison to IIIT Vadodara and thus, it has certain benefits over IIIT Vadodara. So, choose what suits you best.

A friend of mine used to be a student of MAIT and he heard that it was possible to migrate from one college to another. He was told that for moving from one college to another, you have to have a ‘no objection certificate from the college you are migrating from and the college you are migrating to. Good grades are also mandatory for moving to and from colleges.

In addition to these, you will also have to fill forms after completion of the first year on the main website of the college. Of course, you will have to submit the form to the college you are currently in.

Hope this clears some doubts.
