Choosing between BITS Goa CS and IIT Roorkee (Civil or Chemical branch) majorly depends on different factors including your preference, interest, and career goals.
VIIT is the first preference of many students for civil engineering. NIRF and the Outlook rated this college 155th and 132nd respectively for engineering. VIIT Pune offers a B.Tech program in Civil Engineering.
Admission:
Faculty:
In the department, the faculty members are excellent with the majority of them having a Ph.D. degree and years of experience in teaching.
Infrastructure:
A well-organized technical lab and the departmental library is there and can be accessed by the students. A fully ventilated auditorium cum conference room is also available where guest faculty take up the workshops and conferences.
Placement:
Students here are trained for placements by mock interviews and industrial visits during their final year. The college has a placement rate of 95 percent in the civil engineering department which again makes it a better choice for this course.
Internships are also available with a stipend during vacation times. On compilation of the internships, many students get job offers.
VIIT Pune is a good option for Civil Engineering with decent placement opportunities.
Both IIT Mandi and IIT Ropar are well-respected engineering institutions. The institute which is most suitable for you depends on your individual needs and preferences. Some parameters you would like to consider are location, campus culture, research opportunities, and faculty expertise.
In my opinion, IIT Ropar fares better in terms of infrastructure, college life, labs, and resources. IIT Mandi on the other hand is lacking in terms of infrastructure and its campus is still in the development phase. The facilities and infrastructure are crucial to a conducive learning environment and IIT Mandi has failed to do so. IIT Mandi is also located remotely and thus students cannot avail of facilities easily and the exposure offered is also limited. IIT Mandi labs have failed to meet IIT standards and are decked with outdated equipment.
The labs of the School of Engineering and the School of Computing and Electrical Engineering are not at all good and have very limited operational capacities.
Keeping all the above factors in mind, it's better to go for IIT Ropar. Additionally, it is recommended that you visit the websites of both institutions and speak with current students or faculty members to get a better sense of what each has to offer.
IIT Bhubaneswar placements for Civil Engineering have been excellent for the past few years. Students got recruited core job profiles in reputed PSUs like IOCL, HPCL, etc. Here are the highlights of the placements for Civil branch.
Average CTC | INR 7.67 LPA |
Highest CTC | INR 17 LPA |
Lowest CTC | INR 5 LPA |
Students also get recruited in non-core job profiles. Companies such as Wipro, TATA Motors, L&T Construction etc. allow Civil Engineering students to take part in the placement.
One of my cousins was in a similar dilemma when she got selected for both Civil at NIT Jamshedpur and CSE at IIIT Ranchi. S he decided to go for NIT Jamshedpur as she had no interest in the IT sector at all. S he wanted a core branch and NIT Jamshedpur seemed to be her best choice. Moreover, its Civil branch placements are considered to be at par with the top NITs. In your case too, it's best to focus on your interests and future prospects to make a healthy decision. If you have even a slight interest in the IT sector, choose IIIT Ranchi because its CSE is way better than NIT Jamshedpur CSE.
Here is a brief overview of both the institutes'

So go for the branch that aligns with your preference.
Civil Engineering and CSE are the trendiest branches as reckoned by the leading companies. If you will opt for a better college over a preferred branch for pursuing engineering then it is suggested to switch your opinion.
Seeing this, you must choose Civil Engineering at Jadavpur University over KGEC. Following are the reasons for choosing the same:
It is suggested that you choose your preferred stream if you ultimately have planned on pursuing higher studies like GATE, GRE, etc. If you are planning on doing MBA or some job then JU would be the best fit.
You should keep in mind that the name tag of your undergraduate institute always stays with you hence choose wisely.

The Civil Department of IIT Bhubaneswar has limited core opportunities and plenty of opportunities from software companies. Top companies are Manikaran power infrastructures and TATA projects limited. Students of this branch also receive internships based on GPA, past projects and last internships.
One of my friends was in the same situation last year. He got IIEST Shibpur Metallurgy and Materials Engineering, Mining Engineering, and Civil Engineering along with a rank of 1383 in West Bengal State Merit List of NEET for MBBS admission converted with a mark of 462.
So, if you want to become a doctor and serve people and if it's the long-cherished dream of pursuing MBBS then you should leave IIEST and better prepare for NEET again. Different people will have different views regarding the decision of leaving a good college like IIEST but in the end, it completely depends upon your goals.
