Which option should I choose, Jadavpur University CSE or NIT Durgapur CSE?

Tithi AggrawalLives in New Delhi

Here are some key points about both colleges which will help you in your decision-making-

Campus Life- The campus life at NIT Durgapur is much better. You’ll get ample freedom to play sports, to party, etc. You can do everything on campus, at all hours. The senior-junior and peer-to-peer bonding is great over here. There is relatively more cultural diversity in the NIT Durgapur campus.

Academics- The CSE department of NIT Durgapur isn’t good. If you are serious about academics and quality education, NIT Durgapur CSE isn’t a good choice. The quality of research is very poor, apart from the DST-FIST project. Have a look at the faculty profile of both institutions to get a clearer picture.

Placements - On ground level, CSE placements are better at JU. For a smaller number of students, it receives the same number of companies during campus placements. Also, bigshots offering high packages visit the JU campus exclusively.

Startups - NIT Durgapur doesn’t provide many opportunities for startups/entrepreneurship.

Higher studies - Both are at par if you wish to pursue higher studies in India. However, for foreign colleges/universities, an NIT tag will be more advantageous.

ROI- The ROI for JU is much higher. This is because its tuition fees are much more affordable.

According to me, a CSE from Jadavpur University is a better option.

Which is better: CSE in NIT, Durgapur or metallurgy in NIT, Warangal?

Kalyan ShastriLives in Warangal

I would like you to consider certain important things before making your decision-

College- Without a doubt, NIT Warangal is ahead of NIT Durgapur in terms of faculty, infrastructure and hostel facilities.

Subject - You need to choose your subject based on your interests. Without that you’ll either hate your profession or choose a completely different career path altogether. If you are into math, coding, logic and problem-solving, choose CSE. On the other hand, if you want to study materials, metals, extraction, etc, choose Metallurgy.
Profession - CSE will give you better opportunities in the IT sector. You might get a fat check, work for a good company, and live in metropolitans. As you know, IT jobs are basically office jobs.On the other hand, core Metallurgy jobs deal with steel plants, mines and such. You’ll end up working in a remote area if you choose a core job.The placements for CSE are overall much better than Metallurgy, across all engineering colleges. But if you have a passion for metallurgy, you might end up in a good brand or get selected for a government position.
Location- Both the places are culturally very different. Research a bit, and figure out which place’s food habits, climate, and culture suits you better.

According to me your college will last for 4 years. However, your branch will become an intrinsic part of your personality and profession. Unless you have an interest in Metallurgy or a good chance at sliding to another branch, choose CSE at NIT Durgapur.

Which is better: CSE in NIT, Durgapur or metallurgy in NIT, Warangal?

Chitra RoyM.Tech from National Institute of Technology, Warangal

NIT Warangal is better in terms of infrastructure, faculty, campus, faculty, and placement support. But the recruiters prefer students from the software field; the metallurgical students only get an average salary package, which is pitiful.

The decision can be made by giving primary importance to your interests and you should keep in mind that the selection of a better branch decides your future and not the college

Which is better, NIT Durgapur for CSE or IIEST Shibpur for CSE?

Ankita ChoudhuryMasters Information Technology, Indian Institutes of Information Technology

IIEST Shibpur is better for CSE. It offers better academics, and facilities. IIEST receives more funding than NIT Durgapur. It has a better peer group as well, which is clearly reflected on the cutoff.

The placement rate for CSE is around 80%. Students receive an average CTC of around INR 10 LPA. The highest CTC offered goes up to INR 39 LPA. Microsoft Media, Deutsch Bank, Mentor Graphics, Well Fargo’s, etc. are among the major recruiters that take place in the placement drive.

Which is better, a CSE at IIITM Gwalior or a CSE at NIT Durgapur?

Tamalika DasB.Tech Computer Science, Maulana Azad National Institute of Technology, Bhopal (2021)

Let us go with a side by side comparison of both the colleges on the basis of the following factors: NIRF Ranking, Faculty and Placements.

NIRF Ranking: As per NIRF 2020, NIT Durgapur has been ranked 47th whereas IIITM Gwalior has been given a rank above 100.

Faculty:Having friends in both of the colleges I can share their views, and according to their personal experience the faculty at IIITM Gwalior is one of the best faculties out there in India. Also, you will get good research facilities in IIITM Gwalior.

Placements: As many of you might find this a major point while choosing colleges, you should know that NIT Durgapur offers placements for CSE branch with an average package of 6.5 lac pa and 29 lac pa being the highest package. On the other hand, there is not much data available on placements at IIITM Gwalior as CSE is a newly introduced branch.

Categories	NIT Durgapur	IIITM Gwalior
Course Fee	5.56 lakh	5.4-6.7 lakh
Placement Percentage	75-80%	75%
Highest CTC	23 LPA	8 LPA
Average CTC	5-6 LPA	5 LPA
Lowest CTC	2 LPA	4 LPA
Recruiting Companies	Qualcomm, Tata Steel, Amazon, IOCL, etc.	TCS, PwC, Jaro, Axiom, etc.

At the end of the day, if placements are your topmost priority then NIT Durgapur is the best choice. But if you are more inclined towards research work you will need a good faculty for that, which you’ll get at IIITM Gwalior.

Does NITRaipur CSE or NIT Durgapur CSE have good placements?

Gagan JainStudied at National Institute of Technology Durgapur

CS certainly holds more importance compared to IT in all the reputed engineering institutes irrespective of everything else.

IT at NIT Raipur is a good enough option to choose especially because of its HOD. He is very sincere and too much dedicated to the students and their well-being. Unlike many other departments and colleges of our country, he takes a special interest and personally looks into every student’s growth and academic performance. Starting from the appointment of the teachers for the various subjects to the handling of the detention lists, he does it all.

Moreover, the faculty here at NIT Raipur is overall a young group of teachers, which basically means they are way more enthusiastic and energetic. A couple of teachers from other departments also take a few subjects here at times.

Even the placements are quite well known here and although placements eventually depend on your throughout performance and scores. The following table shows the placement statistics of both institutions:

Particulars	NIT Raipur CSE	NIT Durgapur CSE
Average CTC	9.5 LPA	9.09 LPA
Total Offers	82	72
Placement Percentage	91.1%	83.33%

The environment offered to all the first years is much protected and they strictly follow a zero ragging policy. Seniors here are too welcome and supportive which ensures that all the students feel absolutely safe and secure.
