CSE (with AI & ML) in Manipal University Jaipur or Mechatronics / Mechanical in Thapar University? Which to choose?
Honestly speaking, both Thapar University and Manipal University are reputable institutions for a B.Tech in computer science. So the decision on which one is better for you ultimately depends on your personal preferences and priorities. is
Thapar University is a highly esteemed, private engineering and technology university located in Patiala, India. Known for its strong academic programs and rich research culture in computer science, this university has it all. Additionally, it offers a range of student services, including career counseling and internships.
Manipal University, on the other hand, is a private university located in Manipal, India. It is one of the oldest and most established universities in the country and is known for its iRobot programs in CSE. The university has a number of student-driven bodies that promote extracurricular activities.
Some factors to consider while choosing between the two include
- Proximity to hometown
- campus life
- Fees and other expenses
- CSE Program offered
Both the colleges are almost similar in all aspects. So what actually matters is that if you live in the North, choose Thapar but if you are from the south choose Manipal. Both universities have the same fee and both are equally reputed private colleges after BITS. So I would suggest that whichever college is near your hometown go for it.
Ultimately, both universities are highly esteemed institutions and either one would be a decent choice for a B.Tech in computer science.

What is the scope of Mechanical Engineering in Thiagarajar College of Engineering, Madurai?
One of my close friends attends Thisgarajar College of Engineering, Madurai, and here is her insight into the Mechanical Engineering branch.
- Despite the college being government-aided, the faculty is stellar with really good experience. All of them either have a Ph.D. or are pursuing one.
- The department has also collaborated with TVS and the courses are now being restructured as per industry requirements. TVS starts monitoring students in the first year so that by the 4th year, they are ready to work there.
- The labs are also fully well equipped with instruments like UTM, injection molding machines, and CNCs.
- The alumni network is also quite strong. There are frequent get-togethers and meetings held at the department.
- The teachers are also well renowned nationally in their fields of work. You will also receive support for higher education from the college for pursuing MS, ME, Ph.D., MBA, etc.
- Despite the geographical drawbacks, the college has many top companies visiting for placements. But, due to the lack of mechanical industries around the college, securing an internship or work experience may prove to be difficult for you.
- The courses offered might be a little restricted. Due to this, it might prove a little hard for you to secure a specialization in a specific field.
- There are also only 120 students per batch of mechanical engineering admitted to the college. Because of this, it is quite tough to find like-minded people who share your interests and would like to work with you.
Thus, despite being a good college, every place has its pros and cons. In the end, it boils down to your interests and if the course curriculum fits your requirements.
Can BITS Pilani be preferred over IIT BHU for mechanical or electronics engineering?
IIT BHU and BITS Pilani are two highly reputed institutes for engineering studies in India. IIT BHU would be a better option over BITS Pilani because of these reasons:
- Brand Value: IIT BHU carries the prestigious “IIT'' tag which holds more brand value than the “BITS Pilani'' tag. This will become important to you when applying to foreign universities for your higher education.
- Fees: As a government institution, the fees of IIT BHU is much more affordable as compared to BITS Pilani. This in turn, gives IIT BHU a higher ROI (Return on Investment), as IIT BHU offers even better placements than BITS Pilani.
Here are the important comparisons between IIT BHU and BITS Pilani:
