IIIT Lucknow is a good option for pursuing a B.Tech in IT. Although it was mentored by IIIT Allahabad at first, now it shifted to its new campus in 2019. It runs independently with its own faculty, classes, and placement cell.

If you have a choice between IIIT Vadodara and any other well-established NIT or IIIT for a Btech in CSE/IT, you should go for the latter as IIIT Vadodara lacks proper infrastructure and resources. However, studying B.tech in CSE at IIIT Vadodara is a rigorous course that offers different course content from other colleges, making students good engineers. The professors put in equal amounts of hard work to deliver their content in a professional manner, and there are ample resources available online for students.

IIIT Vadodara is a good option as it provides exposure to both theory and industrial practice, and the institute has improved immensely. The placements are also getting better, with tech giants recognizing IIIT Vadodara and aiding in projects through developer student clubs and Mozilla student club

Both the options are good. There is no such difference in the quality of education, either in these two branches, or any other branch in CUSAT.

They make you work hard, focus on every detail, and stress a lot on the practical classes and labs.

As for the faculty, 85% are permanent. As for the quality of faculty, everyone will have a different view. According to my friends at CUSAT, the only difference you will find between the branches is that the EC people toil 3 times harder than the other branches.

According to the overall placement statistics the average and highest CTC offered to the students is 4 LPA and 15 LPA.

You should choose the branch that is better for you. Think about the branch where your interest lies, will you be able to manage the workload efficiently, does the subject interest you, or which branch has the better placements matter. However, I would like to advise you not to be bothered by placements any more.

Pravhas Sawant

Yes, KJSCE is a good college for IT. You can also consider taking CSE here. Since the syllabus for these two branches differs by a few subjects.

Additionally, if you are interested in workshops, councils like CSI and CodeChef conduct them on various technologies and coding which you will find very helpful.

Overall, KJSCE for IT is a good option. You will have a number of opportunities open for you to develop your career here.

Which one is better: IT in IIIT Allahabad or CSE in BITS Goa?

Muktesh Shukla

The IT degree at IIIT Allahabad is considered one of the best in India, and it is aligned with the CSE curriculum from the best IITs and NITs in India. The professors are a mixed bag, with some highly qualified, doing good research, and teaching well, while some may be uninteresting. However, with some self-motivation, the academic landscape is quite good.

IIIT Allahabad has a great culture for programming, which can help you become a serious developer. The infrastructure is good, the campus is green, and the architecture is impressive, with the added benefit of being centrally air-conditioned.

On the downside, the city life in Allahabad is not great, especially if you come from a metro city. You may experience a cultural shock. The research environment is not exceptional, and there are only a handful of students aspiring to pursue higher education. You will find yourself in a batch of more than 200 students, in which you have to create your own identity. The weather is terrible, with extremely hot summers and cold winters (although some people may like the winters). The sports infrastructure is not the most amazing one.

In summary, here's the verdict:

If you're interested in research and want to pursue technical education further in your career, BITS Goa may be the right choice for you.
If you want a great Indian IT job after your degree, IIIT Allahabad may be the right choice for you.
If you're looking for a better peer group, better girls, and a more happening city life, BITS Goa may be the right choice for you.
If you're serious about programming and have a penchant for Competitive Programming, IIIT Allahabad may be the right choice for you.

Which is the better option; doing computer engineering at SVNIT-Surat, Gujarat or b.tech in ict at DA-IICT Gandhinagar, Gujarat?

Madhumanti Halder

According to my friends at DAIICT, it is definitely a better choice among the two. Considering factors like placement, brand reputation, and coding culture.

The points below give a brief overview of some of the advantages of choosing DAIICT over SVNIT.

According to some professors of SVNIT itself, DAIICT is a better institute for CSE and IT, compared to SVNIT.
The overall placement statistics of DAIICT are far better than that in SVNIT, with more high-paying jobs offered in the institute.
DAIICT doesn’t have as good a reputation as NITs in India. But, in companies like Amazon, MAQ, Morgan Stanley, etc, DAIICT has a far better reputation than SVNIT.
There is an excellent open-source coding environment in DAIICT.
The number of GSoC entries from both institutes makes it evident that DAIICT has much more success in open-source contribution.

Categories	CSE at SVNIT	ICT at DAIICT
Course Fee	5.47 lakh	7.28 LPA
Placement Percentage	90%	95%
Highest CTC	35-40 LPA	43 LPA
Average CTC	10-12 LPA	19 LPA

Therefore, it is clear that DAIICT is a much better choice, especially in subjects like CS and IT. In DAIICT, there is a high exposure in higher studies among students. There is a good environment for competitive coding too in DAIICT. In every notable coding contest from platforms like Codeforces, Codechef, etc, there are at least 30-40 participants from DAIICT.

How good are the placements for B.Tech in IT students at CUSAT?

Sulagna Saha

20 Jul 21

If you are looking for placements for CS jobs, a lot of branches from engineering are eligible for it. These include IT, EC, CS, and even EE sometimes. These branches are included from both campuses, CUSAT and CUSEK.

Many students from CUSEK also travel to CUSAT to attend placements. A few students from M.Tech and MCA are also eligible to appear for these placements.

The criteria for eligibility differ from company to company but if you have a CGPA of 8.3 (75%) and no other backlogs.
You can appear for almost every company that visits the college for placements.
Once you have qualified past the eligibility criteria, you will realize that there is not much distinction between IT and CS branch students.
Most companies end up treating all students equally.
If you are looking to target specific areas for your development, programming skills, and interview prepare the ones you should focus on.
Other than this, your class rank, CGPA as well other past backlogs will not matter if you ace the first two.
Next, if you are looking to rank ease of placements branch-wise and package size, computer science is the leader.
This is followed by IT, SF and EC at a tie, EE, and lastly ME and CE tying off again.

Categories	IT at CUSAT
Highest CTC	29 LPA (Cisco)
Average CTC	6-8 LPA (TCS Digital, Nissan, Soti, IBM, and Tally)
Lowest CTC	3-3.8 LPA (TCS, Wipro, EY and Infosys)

In my opinion, securing placements for CS is not that difficult. Students with pending backlogs also are placed so you do not have much to be worried about. Just do your best.

Choosing IT at any of the mentioned colleges depends on what you want to make your career in. If you are good at coding then IIIT Allahabad will be a good choice. The course curriculum is designed to provide you knowledge of DSA, OOP, and so on. You will learn more about coding at IIIT Allahabad than at NIT Allahabad.

IIIT Allahabad also has a good student environment which will help you in acquiring knowledge and keeps you motivated.

If you are not passionate about learning to code, then NIT Allahabad will be a better choice. In NIT Allahabad, you will meet students from a diverse background that will help you improve and groom your personality. The institute will give you wider exposure. You can prepare for examinations like UPSC or CAT And can also start your own start-up. NIT Allahabad has a better brand value than IIIT Allahabad.

Therefore, you can choose either institute as both of them are equally good. But coding is important to get a good placement in MNCs. So choose according to it.
