Which university should I prefer for a CS/IT: G.L. Bajaj, Greater Noida or Galgotias University?
Both G L Bajaj and Galgotias University are decent options for CS or IT branches. However, you will like to refer to the following points before choosing one
Choose G.L. Bajaj if you are self-motivated and determined to work hard because the institute has a rigid academic environment with many restrictions on attendance and such. Galgotia University on the other hand offers a huge sense of freedom with no restrictions at all. You are free to do whatever you want.
Another major factor to consider is the distance from Greater Noida. G.L. Bajaj is situated in the heart of Greater Noida, whereas Galgotias University is situated almost 15-17 Km from Greater Noida.
Honestly, the faculty pool of both colleges is below average. However, if I were to compare then G L Bajaj still has a handful of experienced professors
Addressing the elephant in the room, it can be said that the placement scenario isn't very different at both the colleges. Galgotias University is newly established but is doing quite well in terms of placements. Here is a comparative analysis of the placement scenario of both the colleges

I will personally recommend you to opt for a better engineering college than these two institutes.
Which college is better for Computer Science/ Computer Engineering in India - IIIT Delhi or NSIT?
For a better understanding, I will compare both IIIT Delhi and NSIT Delhi based on some common aspects
- Placement : The placement scenario of both the institutes is similar with IIIT Delhi having a slight advantage. NIST's median package stood at INR 16 LPA while IIIT Delhi's average package stood at INR 23.72 LPA
- Campus : NSIT has a higher campus than IIIT Delhi but is old. IIIT Delhi is a relatively new institute so its infrastructure and campus facilities are modern.
- Hostels : NSIT has bigger rooms than IIIT Delhi but IIIT DELHI has rooms with better facilities. There is the provision of AC at night in summer and a heater at night in winter.
- Faculty : IIIT DELHI is the clear winner as its faculty pool is even better than some IITs.
- Reputation : Being older NSIT enjoys a better brand value and recognition both in and outside India.
- Coding Culture : IIIT DELHI has a much better coding culture than NSUT because the institute is CS centered.
- Fees : IIIT Delhi charges higher fees around ?4.62 Lakhs (1st Year Fees) while NSIT fees are around ?2.29 Lakhs (1st Year Fees)
- Clubs : NSUT has a better campus life and extracurricular culture because of the various clubs so it has an edge in this aspect.
- Campus Life: IIIT Delhi has a very rigorous and tiresome campus life while NSIT has a more laid-back campus life.
- Curriculum : IIIT DELHI has a more updated and modern curriculum in comparison to NSITs outdated curriculum irreverent to the industrial trends.
Overall, if you want a rigorous campus life more focused on academics choose IIIT Delhi but if you are looking for a relaxed experience NSIT is the one for you.
What is the scope after DU B.Sc Hons in Computer Science?
As explained by a B.Sc(Hons) Computer Science graduate from DU, there are the following scopes after the course:
- Job: If you are studying computer science at a college like Hansraj, KMC, or Venky, you may get a good job or your dream profile in a good company. If you believe and know that you will not be able to find work that is equivalent to your B.Sc Comp Sc, please do not apply.
- Passion for Computers: If you want to go into research while still enjoying computer science, pursue an M.Sc in Comp Sc from DU or another reputable university such as Kolkata University or Bombay University. M.Sc. from DU is good, and you will be placed in good companies. Another possibility is an M.Sc. in Operational Research from DU.
- MBA: MBA is also one of the best scopes for students to go ahead. There is an immense opportunity for good placements and better career options.
B.Sc (Hons.) in Computer Science has a much broader scope. The field of science and technology is ever-expanding, and the scopes it has to offer are based on research and development principles. When it comes to pursuing a degree such as Computer Science, graduates have numerous options. They may conduct field research or pursue careers in more financially lucrative fields. For BSc graduates, there are numerous job opportunities available.
Which college should I choose between IIT, Hyderabad & IIIT, Hyderabad for a CSE course?
Had I been in your place, I would have chosen IIIT Hyderabad over IIT Hyderabad. While both colleges offer a good CS program, IIIT Hyderabad is the clear winner when it comes to CS. Consider the following points of comparison
- IIT Hyderabad is a new IIt, so choosing it just because of the IIt tag would be a blunder.
- IIT Hyderabad is still in its development phase and its campus still needs a few more facilities to become full-fledged operating.
- IIIT Hyderabad has a better religion and brand name among the IT giants and therefore its placement scenario is way better than IIT Hyderabad.
- IIIT Hyderabad is well-known for its achievements in competitions like ACM ICPC and GSOC.
I have my cousins in both the institutes and from their discussions I have concluded that IIIT Hyderabad leads in CS opportunities.
A friend of mine got CSE at IIT Bombay with a rank of 10k. How is it justified?
The IITs are funded by the Government so it has complete authority to give admission to anyone. The teachers or the students are not the stakeholders in the case of IITs. It is the Government that pays the teachers' salaries and installs the various facilities. The Government is at complete freedom to decide who can come into ITs and who needs a push in the form of the reservation to join ITs.
The aspirants know beforehand that the Government has set such rules according to its own discretion. No one is forced to give the exam and you can always choose any other option if you think it’s unfair.
Here is a video giving you an honest review of the institute
Aspirants know that there might be cases where a candidate with 10k or above rank will get admission in contrast to the general cutoff. They still fill out firms in hope of clearing the exam. You are precisely giving a Government Exam and need to follow all the necessary rules. So it indeed is justified if someone with a 10k rank is able to make it into IIT Bombay.
How is NIT Jalandhar CSE in all aspects: placement, package, accommodation, environment, etc.?

Which is better for CSE? (IIT Roorkee vs BITS Pilani vs IIT BHU vs IIIT Hyderabad)
Every Institute has its unique aspects as well as its own strengths and weaknesses. Some factors to consider include the quality of the faculty, the resources available to students, the research opportunities, and the campus culture.
IIT Roorkee, BITS Pilani, and IIT BHU CS are definitely excellent but IIIT Hyderabad wins the race when it comes to CS. It’s second only to IISc Bangalore, IIT Bombay, and Madras. Because of only 2 branches, the entire focus of the Institute is on CS only. The opportunities, ambiance, and faculty are aligned with the requirements for a good CS branch. Another good option is IIT BHU because of its high ROI.
Having known a few friends in all 4 institutes, I can confidently say that those who chose IIIT Hyderabad CS over IIT Roorkee are doing better now. The IIT tag certainly is helpful but only to a limited extent. The exposure provided by IIIT Hyderabad and its excellent placement opportunities overshadows the much coveted IIT Tag making it a better choice among all institutes. But those looking for stability, facilities, academia, and vast opportunities can go for IIT Roorkee.
