Which is better, NIT Calicut for CSE or IIIT Bangalore for CSE?

AB

Lives in Bangalore

Students from both these institutes will have a bias for their respective colleges. If you ask IIIT Bangalore students, they will recommend you choose their college. The same is the case for NIT Calicut students.

Reach out to one senior from both these colleges who belongs to the CSE department. Ask them about the infrastructure, faculty, curriculum, placements, and other important aspects of their respective department. Don’t ask an NITC student about IIITB, and vice versa. This is because they might have misconceptions about the other institute. 

I would recommend IIIT Bangalore. The institute has top-notch faculty, placements, research facilities, campus quality, and hostels. Moreover, it doesn’t follow any reservation criteria for admissions, unlike NITC. 

Try to approach seniors from both these colleges, and research a bit on the IIIT Bangalore CSE department. Also, IIIT Bangalore offers iM.Tech in CSE, and not B.Tech.

What would be a comparison between CSE at IIIT Delhi and IIIT Bangalore?

SK
Sanjana Kapoor Posted On : October 19th, 2023
Lives in New Delhi

Based on my research, I will present some points to support the opinion that I will put by the end of my answer-

  • Faculty- The faculty of IIIT Delhi is considered to be one of the best in India. The college offers top-quality classroom teaching. But even IIITB has good professors. 
  • Curriculum- IIITD offers the most relevant and flexible curriculum for B.Tech CSE. They will teach you core CS from the first year itself. Even IIITB teaches core CS from the first year, but it started with iM.Tech quite recently, in 2017. IIITB doesn’t offer B.Tech courses. 
  • Funding and perks- As IIIT Delhi is a state government-run institute, it gets funding and other perks.
  • Infrastructure and Internet facilities- Being a new institute, IIIT Delhi has better infrastructure and Internet facilities. 

IIIT Bangalore is a better choice for an M.Tech CS, based on curriculum, placements, etc. But as far as UG studies are concerned, B.Tech CS at IIIT Delhi is better than iM.Tech CS at IIIT Bangalore.

Why is it that IIIT Bangalore students are the only ones who consider IIIT Bangalore to be among the top institutions?

AB
Aditi Banerjee Posted On : October 10th, 2023
Lives in Bangalore

I am assuming you mean this for its UG programs. IIIT Bangalore is highly renowned for its PG degrees.

The institute is popular among academia and industry. However, it isn’t popular among students who are fresh out of school. This is because its UG courses aren’t that old. However, many students still opt for IIITB because of the huge potential of its undergraduate programs. 

In practice, IIITB has a lot to offer. Students begin appreciating it upon experiencing the campus culture up close. It offers top notch faculty, curriculum, peers, labs and industry connections. CSE/ECE students get ample opportunities and facilities for their all-round development. Its integrated courses are performing well and making a mark with each passing year. You may check the placement records of the college. 

IIIT Bangalore is a strong competitor in PG studies, and making steady progress with its integrated programs as well.

What is the use of an MTech in CSE at IIIT Bangalore when we can get 11 LPA just by switching jobs?

SK
Sanjana Kapoor Posted On : October 10th, 2023
IIIT Bangalore

I completed my M.Tech CSE from IIIT Bangalore some years ago. This makes me eligible to answer your query.

Here are some reasons why this degree is more beneficial for your career than simply switching jobs-

  1. As an M.Tech CSE graduate from IIITB, you’ll be offered much more than 11 LPA. You can expect to get around 15-16 LPA as your starting CTC.
  2. Top companies like Microsoft recruit from the IIITB campus.
  3. Companies like TCS have very low workloads, and the work is mostly brainless. This can make you lazy. An M.Tech course will help exercise your brain.
  4. It’s difficult to switch from service based companies to product-based MNCs. You may end up in a service based company or a product-based startup post-switching.
  5. M.Tech graduates from IIITB are much more likely to get into a product based MNC. 
  6. The college tag will open more opportunities for you career-wise.
  7. You can access good off campus opportunities as Bangalore is the ideal place for tech professionals.
  8. At college, you’ll spend your time studying AI/ML, and developing your coding skills. 
  9. You may not get to develop these abilities at your workplace. They may give you basic support projects, excel sheet work, etc. Then you’ll have to develop your coding skills post work hours. 

Thus, I would recommend you consider an M.Tech CSE from IIITB instead of relying on a job switch.

IIIT Bangalore and IIIT Hyderabad are top institutions.

IIIT Hyderabad competes with the top IITs. The coding culture over there is top notch and the competitive spirit among peers makes you work very hard. The faculty is hardworking and inspires students to become good professionals. Students are encouraged to create their own successful startups like SETU,Crypsis, Synovel etc. IIIT H intakes students purely on merit basis, there is no provision of reservation during admissions.

If IIIT Bangalore MTech in CS/IT is that good, why it has so low GATE cutoff?

PP
Pratik Parikh Posted On : October 7th, 2023
Lives in Bangalore

IIIT Bangalore does not offer any UF program and this translates to poor reputation. The majority of the student community and major recruiters are unaware of the college's existence. However, it offers a unique integrated course which is one of its kind graduate courses. 

The uniqueness lies in the fact that the M.Tech course offered by IIIT Bangalore is majorly industry oriented in contrast to the research-focused curricula in other top institutions. This is also the reason why many major IT companies visit the college for campus placements and students get placed better than most of the IITs. It’s likely to become better in the future with its increasing demand and reputation and will stand at par with IITs. 

So grab the seat while you can!

AB

Lives in Bangalore

We need to consider a number of factors before choosing one college from DTU, NSUT, IIIT Delhi, IIT Bangalore, IIIT Allahabad, and NITs. 

  • Quality of education: In terms of academics, IIIT Delhi serves the best. The teachers are genuinely interested in teaching and encouraging students to research work. In DTU and NSUT students are expected to cope with the curriculum on their own.
  • Campus life: DTU offers the best resources and campus life to its students followed by NSUT and IIIT Delhi
  • Peer group: You will find the best peer group that is passionate about CS at IIIT Delhi and NSUT. 
  • Placements: This aspect is quite arguable because there is the general scenario as well as the statistics to consider. Generally, DTU fares better than NSUT and IIIT Delhi but if you look at the statistics, IIIT Delhi is the best among these colleges followed by NSUT and DTU. 
  • Brand Name and Alumni: In this aspect, DTU is the clear winner. 
  • Research Culture : IIIT Delhi has more faculty that are inclined towards research. The overall ambiance is conducive to cutting-edge research and students have to do research as a part of the curriculum. IIIT Delhi is followed by NSUT and DTU. 
  • Higher Studies: IIIT Delhi has a CGPA system while NSUT and DTU have a percentage system. A CGPA of 8.75-9 is considered pretty good while even a percentage of 79% is not. So IIIT Delhi students face a certain advantage during shortlisting. Additionally, their research work and skills add to their overall profile and increase their chances of admission to top universities.

Overall, the best option for you is IIIT Delhi considering the above aspects.

IIIT Bangalore iMtech in CSE or NIT Surathkal BTech in CSE, what should I choose?

AB
Akriti Banerjee Posted On : September 14th, 2023
lives in New Delhi

NIT Surathkal B.Tech in CSE is definitely a better choice because it's one of the oldest institutes with a rich legacy. The department has lots of establishments in academics as well as industry. There are several well-established student activity bodies and an elaborate alumni base with a coding background.

I am strongly against you joining an integrated program at the bachelor's level because you first need to know the exact domain you are interested in. If you realize that you have taken the wrong branch then spending 5 years will become very difficult. BTech gives you enough time and opportunities to analyze what your interests are you can not decide, after 3-4 semesters, you will be able to judge yourself overall. Also, a B.Tech in CSE from NIT Karnataka with a good GRE score may help you get admission offers of MS abroad.

So go for NIT Surathkal BTech in CSE without any second thoughts.
