It is difficult to say which is better between IIT Mandi and top NITs, as it depends on individual preferences and priorities. In general, IITs are considered to be among the top engineering colleges in India and are known for their strong academic programs, research opportunities, and placement record. Both IIT Mandi and top NITs have their own strengths and weaknesses, but if you want to consider locational advantage, IIT Mandi clearly has an edge over NIT. 

The program you are pursuing surely matters a lot but so does the college you will be studying at. College life is a major part of your life and the memories and experience stay with you forever.

In terms of academics and placements, both IIT Mandi and top NITs are good choices. You cannot doubt the quality of academics and placement scenarios at either institute. However, the campus life and peer group is what separates IIT Mandi from top NITs. 

  • IIT Mandi has a beautiful campus surrounded by scenic natural beauty that is a treat to the eyes.

  • The student-driven clubs are another major highlight of the institute as these clubs help you in identifying your passions and develop your personality.
  • You will receive constant assistance from your seniors and they are very friendly.
  • A number of fests are held by the institute wherein students showcase their talents. Some of the fests are Exodia, Rann-Neeti, Aakarshan and many more.

How difficult is it to get a branch change in IIT Mandi to CSE? How many hours of study is sufficient?

SD
Sree Dasgupta Posted On : May 24th, 2023
studied Computer Science at Indian Institute of Technology, Mandi

The difficulty of getting a branch change in IIT Mandi to CSE depends on various factors like the current demand for the CSE program and the availability of spots in the program. The branch upgradation policy at IIT Mandi is very easy making it highly possible to get a branch change to CSE if you start working from the beginning. All you need to do is maintain a stable CGPA around 9. The 50 % branch change criteria make it easy for everyone to get a branch change. The increasing batch-size changes the cutoff every year but to play safe, maintain a 9+ CGPA. You will be surprised to know that some even get to join CSE with a CGPA of 8.6+. 

The number of study hours required to get a branch change depends on the individual, his intellect, and his learning style. The general rule of thumb is to study at least 3 hours per day for undergraduate courses.

All you need to do is be consistent with your studies and attend classes regularly. So, it totally depends on what works for you.

TA
Tithi Aggrawal Posted On : May 27th, 2023
Lives in New Delhi

The IIT Mandi CSE program is relatively new and is still gaining recognition. However, the faculty and facilities for CSE at IT Mandy are brilliant. IIT Roorkee's ME program is well-regarded and is considered to be one of the best in the country. Both institutes enjoy a good reputation, but IIT Roorkee has a more established mechanical engineering program. The suitability of the program depends on your interests and preferences.

The CS program at IIT Mandi is great. IIT Mandi has a good coding environment in addition to several GSoC selections every year. You will see active participation of students in coding competitions right from the first year. 

It’s better to explore both branches ME and CSE and then after analyzing your interest, 

You should explore your interest in both mechanical and CS as the branch is the most crucial determining factor of your career. This is because CS might not seem easy to those who lack interest in the same. 

It would be best for you to visit the websites of both institutes and compare the program details, faculty, research, and facilities to decide which one would be a better fit for you.
