When you are considering CSE at IIT Indore and IITP, the major difference that comes into play is the student activities and the groups that will help you shape your career than any faculty or curriculum. In my opinion, IIT Indore is much better as compared it IIT Patna. You will also find a really good functional programming group at IIT Indore. It also has a number of ACM ICPC contests that are enriched into you right from your junior year. The senior-junior interaction is also pretty great considering CSE. Here is some more information regarding IIT Indore: Location: IIT Indore is based in the industrial capital of Madhya Pradesh. You will find a number of IT companies including those like TCS and Infosys which are building large campuses in Indore. The food here is really good too. CSE Department: The department at IIT Indore is excellent. It has helped students partake in many worldwide coding competitions and they have qualified thrice for the finals in ACM ICPC. This clearly proves how good the coding culture at the department is.  Campus: With an area of 510 acres, you will find that the campus has all the necessary infrastructure and there will be no dearth of necessities there. Co-curricular activities: The student gymkhana here takes care of all the co-curricular activities on campus. There are many different clubs like dance, literary, music as well as kalakriti, etc. The annual fest ‘Fluxus’ is the largest techno-cultural fest in central India. The i5 summit is also one of the largest entrepreneurship summit organized by IIM Indore and IIT Indore. Additionally, you should also consider the opening and closing ranks at both institutes. From my knowledge, IIT Indore CSE accepts higher ranks as compared to IITP which accepts lower ranks. Clearly, the former has good rank holders, good faculty, and better coding culture. It is much more developed.

Among these, you should select IIT Patna. The preference order for these institutes is IIT Patna>NIT Warangal>IIT Mandi. It offers better academics, infrastructure, and placements. IIT Patna placements in 2022 ended with the highest domestic CTC of INR 61.30 LPA. The average package offered for UG courses was INR 28.86 LPA. Google London offered the highest international CTC of INR 137 LPA. 

My brother is pursuing MTech Mechatronics from IIT Patna. So, I have some ideas about the degree program. If you are a Robotics or Mechatronics enthusiast, you are perfect for this course.  The course curriculum is great. It is easy to score decent CGPA as compared to other departments. There are two departmental labs. One of the labs has necessary instrumentation, to carry out the course work. The other is set up by Bosch to study engine ECUs. Placement for this branch is average. If you are talented and work for it you can also get internship offers. Companies like TVS, Tata Innovation Lab visit the campus for R&D profiles. MTech Mechatronics at IIT Patna is a decent option, you can definitely go for it.

Among these MNNIT Allahabad is the best option for CSE. It has a strong alumni base. Students get good exposure and ample networking opportunities. The seniors are good. They will help you learn the basics of coding to complex algorithms.  The CSE department of MNNIT has a huge list of recruiters. Companies such as Amazon, Google, Microsoft, etc. take part in campus recruitment. During MNNIT Allahabad placements in 2022, the average and highest CTC offered to CSE students were INR 25.89 LPA and INR 118 LPA, respectively.

IIT Jodhpur Mechanical is the best option among these. You can do industrial internships right from the first year. Students usually do their internships in companies like Mahindra & Mahindra, L&T, TVS, etc. You can choose to do your internships in other companies through the industrial immersion program. These internships give students insight into the working of the industry. So, they can choose to do a project of industrial interest as their B.Tech project.  IIT Jodhpur Mechanical faculty is brilliant. Most of the faculty members are actively engaged in research work, especially in Robotics, Materials, Manufacturing, and Thermal. If you are interested in some research project, they will be able to guide you.  According to IIT Jodhpur Mechanical placement for the last few years, the average CTC offered to the students of this branch is INR 14.33 LPA. Mahindra, ISRO, DRDO, and many other core companies recruit students through campus placements. 

Last year some of my friends were also caught in this dilemma and wondered the same question. It is recommended to contact seniors from the colleges you want to compare through social media. Check out each college's gymkhana and college websites to see what events they are participating in. You'll get a sense of what kind of life you'll have in the coming 4 years.  The following table shows a brief insight of both institutes: Categories IIT Patna IIT Bhubaneswar Course Fee 6.98 lakhs 8.52 - 10.63 lakhs Placement Percentage 91% 90% Highest CTC 24 LPA 32 LPA Average CTC 12 LPA 10.2 LPA Recruiting Companies Deloitte, TCS, Accenture, DRDO, etc. Accenture, Capgemini, TCS, IBM, etc. There is no way to find everything in one college that you desire, and there will always be advantages and disadvantages. You should make the right decision for yourself if the available facilities and atmosphere will be productive to you or not.  Now, for the IIT BBS electrical and mechanical departments, they have separate schools with full lab facilities on a permanent campus. The majority of the professors are from IIT Kharagpur, and they are all knowledgeable and helpful to the students, given that they are all highly qualified and experts in their fields.

One of my friends studied at IIT Patna and this might be able to help you with your question. IIT Patna has better infrastructural facilities compared to IIT Jodhpur. He has been on the campus for almost 2 years and the facilities are really really good. Whereas IIT Jodhpur has recently shifted to their new campus, so it will take time for them to adjust or maintain the new setting. IIT Patna also has 10 more seats in CSE Department than IIT Jodhpur. According to 2020  NIRF Ranking, IIT Patna (26th rank) has performed far better than IIT Jodhpur (53rd Rank). The following table gives a brief insight on both institutes: Categories IIT Jodhpur IIT Patna Course Fee 9.34 lakh 6.98 lakh Closing Rank 2020 3110 2617 Placement Percentage 70-80% 80-90% Highest CTC 14 LPA 16 LPA Average CTC 6 LPA 5-6 LPA Recruiting Companies Microsoft, Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, DE Shaw, Gojek, etc. Google Warsaw Poland, Goldman Sachs, Amazon, Codenation, Microsoft, etc.  If you can contact someone from IIT Jodhpur, make sure you can get a complete picture of the university. At last, both are very good colleges in India with excellent facilities and opportunities. For some, Patna is a stereotype, so don’t think in this manner as IIT Patna is a really good institute to go for.

Among these, IIT Patna has the best CSE department. It has an active coding culture. NJACK is the computer science club of IIT Patna. The institute has a competitive coding department, cyber security department, and Linux distro department. Students of IITP have maintained an impressive record on the major competitive coding forums.  The placement record for CSE has been impeccable over the years. According to IIT Patna placement highlights of recent years, the average CTC offered to Computer Science students is around INR 38.79 LPA. 

IIT Patna is better for CSE. It has a great competitive coding culture. The official computer club of IIT Patna is NJACK. It is a thriving community of coders. They organize monthly contests to promote the coding culture further.  The strong competitive coding culture of the institute is one of the reasons, this branch has a good placement record. IIT Patna CSE average package had been INR 26.95 LPA, for the 2022 campus drive.  The research interface for CS is nothing sort of phenomenal. IIT Patna has signed an MoU with Flipkart for joint research in Artificial Intelligence-Natural Language Processing-Machine Learning.  The institute added two new branches related to CSE, i.e. BTech AI and Data Science, BS in Mathematics and Computing. So, the overall technical culture on campus is going to advance. 

One of my friends studies at IIT Dhanbad, and according to him the coding culture of IIT Dhanbad is developed and good. The following points are based on his experience at IIT Dhanbad: CSE students conduct several coding workshops and students join coding clubs, and associations year-round.  The institute has the Association of Computing Machinery (ACM) that organizes seminars, lectures, competitions, and presentations if you are interested in coding.  It also has Cyverlabs Club with different branches such as Web Development, Machine Learning, Arduino Development, etc. The club is headed by experienced seniors of IIT Dhanbad.  They also help and train students in gaining computing skills.  Therefore, if you are thinking to join IIT Dhanbad then you can go for it. It has a great coding culture. Also, the institutes organize various coding events and competitions for students all around the year which helps them acquiring a good knowledge of it.
