Should I study CSE at BITS Pilani or CSE at IIT (BHU)?
The CSE programs of both BITS Pilani and IIT BHU are equally good but in different aspects.
IIT BHU
- This institute was established even before IITs came into the picture and holds a rich legacy of technical education.
- It has extensive lab and campus facilities being one of the top 5 IITs.
- The faculty pool is also rich, comprising highly experienced and learned professors.
- Studying at IIT BHU gives you access to the elaborate alumni network and the much coveted IIT tag that will open doors of opportunities for you academically or professionally.
BITS Pilani
- Placements-wise, BITS Pilani is clearly a winner as it has the best companies visiting the campus with huge packages. BITS Pilani average package is around INR 30.37 LPA while IIT BHU's average package is around INR 23.5 LPA.
- BITS Pilani hostel facilities are way superior to most IITs and is a private institute with the best facilities.
- The top recruiters don’t differentiate IIT and BITS students and it’s only the biased society with a narrow mindset that considers IIT superior to BITS.
In conclusion, if it’s the branch name and tag you are after, go for IIT BHU but if you are after education and better placements, BITS Pilani is the best option for you.

I hope I have made things clear for you!
What rank is required in JEE Advanced to get CSE in IIT Bombay?
To get CSE in IIT Bombay, you need a JEE Advanced rank of 60 if you belong to General Category. This rank keeps getting lower every year. If you are certain of studying CSE at IIT Bombay, then start studying without further hesitation. In case you are still not sure, I have a friend's experience that might help you make the decision. He was interested in Mechanical and was not sure about CSE. With a rank of 70, he went for Mechanical Engineering.
Now there is a course at IIT Bombay that is compulsory for all freshers. The course comprises the fundamentals of Computer Science. Once he studied that, he became certain that he wanted to pursue CSE instead and requested a branch change. In fact, I know many who changed their branch after becoming aware of their passion and inclinations. So you don’t have to necessarily make a decision right now, and can always avail of the branch change option later on. But make sure to make an early decision. Also if your JEE rank is average then you can always change your branch later on. However, an important thing to keep in mind is that this branch change option is possible only if your first-year CGPA is up to the mark.
Which is better, a CS at VIT, VJTI, BITS Goa, BITS Hyderabad, or NIT?
I think you should consider VJTI College to pursue a CS course. My reasons for choosing VJTI are:
- VJTI is one of the best engineering colleges in Maharashtra known for its robust CS course. The program focuses on research and innovation helping students to develop a solid foundation in the basics of CS.
- CS students from VJTI compete in several hackathons every year showing the level of education provided to students.
- The college also has a dedicated in-house research centre for CoE as well.
- Final-year CS students are also exposed to internships to apply their knowledge and skills in real-world scenarios.
- The students are also placed in GSOC every year. VJTI also boast a strong industry connection that helps CS students secure job offers from top companies.
Which one is better for CSE IIT Patna, IIT Mandi, IIT Jodhpur, IIT Bhubaneswar or IIT ISM Dhanbad?
Firstly, it is important to keep in mind that old IIT institutes are highly esteemed. On the other hand, new IITs are also rapidly growing and have overtaken some of the old campuses. So, it is important to not avoid an institute just because it has a fairly new IIT campus.
From the given list, IIT Patna was developed 10 years ago and has quickly become a highly accomplished institute in such a short span of time.
Keeping the other institutes in mind, here is a brief description about IIT Patna and what it has to offer within the CSE department.

Which one is better for CSE: IIT Patna, IIT Mandi, IIT Jodhpur, IIT Bhubaneswar or IIT(ISM), Dhanbad?
I am a CSE student at IIT Patna and I will try to justify why choosing IIT Patna for your
CSE is a good decision. Don’t base your choice on how old an institution is.
All the new IITs like IIT Patna or IIT Jodhpur are doing exceptionally well, some are even competing against the old IITs. IIT Patna has a great campus and it has achieved tremendous success in a short span of time.
CSE department has a learned and supportive faculty and great seniors. The teams have always performed exceptionally well in the ACM-ICPC and have even made it to the world finals. A good number of students clear the GSoC( Google Summer of Code).
NJACK club organizes tutorial classes and workshops on Web development, App development, Android, etc. It also organizes competitions like Capture the Flag, NWoC-an open source coding event, and other competitions throughout the year.
Other interdisciplinary teams which you can join are ROBOCON, Supra BAJA, HPVC etc.
CSE alums at IIT Patna have made successful startups and others are working in good positions at top MNCs. Overall, the coding culture over here is excellent.
The placements for the CSE department are quite impressive. For 2023 placements, the highest package stood at INR 82.05 LPA. The average package stood at INR 35.57 LPA and the median package stood at INR 32.85 LPA. 98.65% of students from the CSE branch were placed.
In the end, whether you choose IIT Jodhpur, IIT Mandi, IIT Patna, or any other institution, the choice should be based on your personal preference. However, I would suggest you choose IIT Patna CSE as I am quite satisfied with my choice.
Why is everyone advising to choose the NIT over the BITS Pilani (Goa campus also included)? Is the BITS Pilani computer science at least as good as a new generation IIT?
Don't pay heed to the ones advising you to choose NITs over BITS Pilani because no matter how good even the best NIT Trichy is, it can never reach the level of globally recognized BITS Pilani. BITS Pilani is second only to the 5 old IITs and every other technical institute in India comes after it.
The usual preference order is
IIT Bombay>IIT Delh>IIT Madras>IIT Kanpur>IIT Kharagpur>BITS>IIT Roorkee>IIT Varanasi>IIT Guwahati>NIT Trichy>NIT Surathkal>NIT Warangal
It's very important to evaluate a college's worth and credibility based on relevant factors. Here are a few aspects you should take into consideration while making the decision.
- Faculty and Pedagogy
- Infrastructure
- Labs
- Library
- Academic rigor and facility
- Placements
- Student body
- Fests and clubs
- Hostel and campus facilities
- Mess food
Ultimately, it's up to you to prioritize one factor over the other and make a well-formed decision based on the research you have done.
What is the cut off rank to get btech in CSE in MPSTME,NMIMS through NPAT?
It entirely depends on the vacancy. There is no such cutoff system. If you can secure a good rank, i.e. within the top 300, then you can go for the CSE branch. Otherwise, it entirely depends on the vacancy. If you get a rank of around 1500-3000, and you want IT or CE, chances of getting admission are low, as most students choose these courses. However, in the counseling, they give a form in which you can fill out your choice of branch and if there are any vacancies later, you can upgrade your branch.
