I personally believe that the upcoming future will be a more tech-savvy and digital world. So, going for CSE/IT is an evergreen choice. And is better than metallurgy engineering.

• In my point of view, you should start from the bottom line i.e., start from NITs rather than IIITs.

• Even some NITs in the north-east, like NIT Meghalaya, NIT Silchar, and NIT Agartala are good enough for fields such as CSE/IT.

• If not, then go for the IIIT colleges which are fully government-funded.

If there is no particular interest and just want a decent job in the future then choose CSE at IIIT Vadodara.

However, on the other hand, IIIT Kota is facing too many issues from faculties.

• There are hardly one or two teachers with a research background. As an outcome of this what you will study will not have minute concepts it would be just theoretical knowledge from the books.
• Though being good in coding but that just doesn't justify being in engineering college.
• The college Atmosphere here is not good.

Hence if you are getting IIIT Kota CSE then you might also be getting some other good NITs and IIITs prefer them, else you will regret it if you are willing to achieve something bigger in life.
