Should I pick CS & bio sciences (CSB) or pick ECE in IIIT Delhi, considering CSB is a new branch this year?
Truth be told, n=both CSB and ECE at IIT Delgi will be excellent academic decisions because IIIT Delhi is well-known for imparting quality education. You should consider your own inlciation whole choosing between CSB and ECE rather than the newness of the branch and its credibility because, at the end of the day, your interests matter more than anything. You won't be able to excel at even an old and well-established branch if you have no interest in it while may excel in a new branch if you are genuinely interested in it. So, the opportunities you will be offered depend on your passions.
You can go through the course descriptions mentioned on the institute's website. CSB might be a relatively new branch but IIIT Delhi has been offering biology courses. You can check the profiles of the faculty.
Remember, a new branch may impose certain disadvantages but so will a branch that does not intrigue you genuinely. There won't be any major difference in terms of higher studies and placements.
So, choose wisely!
Which is the best option: CSE at IIIT Delhi, dual (economics) at BITS Goa/Hyderabad, or information technology at NIT Suratkal?
The answer to this question depends on how you can cope with zealous competition after joining college. If you are confident that you can join the brawl and top in your first year, I would highly recommend taking MSc in Economics at BITS Goa Pilani.
Pros- BITS Pilani has been ranked among top 30 institutes in NIRF Ranking 2020.
- In your 2nd year, you can choose a B.E. course according to your first year CGPA, including the highly coveted CSE program.
- You'll have to spend one more year as compared to your B.E. colleagues.
- Getting your desired course can be a real disadvantage, seeing that there is no dearth of distractions on campus.
If you do not want to take a risk, choosing IT at NIT Surathkal is the best option for you. Since the syllabus almost corresponds to that of CSE and the infrastructure is mind-blowing at the campus.
Should I opt for IIIT Delhi or MNNIT Allahabad for a CSE M.Tech?
The Alumni network is the most important factor of placement statistics and MNNIT Allahabad has one of the best alumni networks.
Delhi provides you with nightlife whereas Allahabad does not. Allahabad is not a metropolitan city like Delhi. If you want these two things, MNNIT is not for you. But it will definitely provide you with great learning opportunities. You can enjoy yourself a lot with your friends, more than you expect. Hence, it does not become less enjoyable just because it lacks nightlife and the tag of a metropolitan city.

- In the 1st 2 years, 2-3 courses have labs and tutorials which are both 1.5 hours a week. Even if all 3 courses have both these the duration will be 9 hours/week of practicals and tutorials.
- The remaining time is 26 hours/week with less than 4 hours a day. Moreover, you will be spending 6 hrs a week on assignment completion/quiz preparation. So almost 18 hours a week will be devoted to that.

What should I choose between CSD at IIIT Delhi and IT at DTU?
CSD and IT have practically the same core subjects. You’ll have a similar curriculum in either of the options. Unless you have a strong interest in the design aspect of CSD, the choice is mainly between the two colleges.
IIITD is very research-oriented. It has state-of-the-art research labs and facilities. You’ll be exposed to dedicated and active research groups over there. Academics are taken quite seriously. You’ll study your subjects in depth for the next 4-5 years.
At DTU on the other hand, academics are very laid back. You’ll get lots of time for extracurriculars. You can polish your skills in the area of your interest.
If you are sure to build a future in Computer Science, join IIIT Delhi. But if you wish to explore yourself, and polish your skills in some other field, join DTU.
