CSE in Manipal would be a better choice for a secure future. Some reasons that support the aforementioned statements are listed below.

Job opportunities – Computer Science and Engineering is one of the trending fields that has ample job opportunities. Even if you opt for instrumentation, eventually you will end up in a software job.

Tagline – The tagline of the institute matters in your abroad studies or the interviews. Since Manipal has a strong alumni base and is one of the oldest and most reputed institutes in India, the credibility of this institute helps to clear interviews with core companies.

Placement – Manipal has had a better placement record in recent years than NIT Silchar.

Environment – The authorities of Manipal ensure a resourceful learning environment for every student.

Faculty – CSE has more highly experienced and qualified faculties at Manipal than NIT

Hence, you can go with the option of CSE in Manipal.

The major point of distinction between Construction Engineering and Management (CET) and Construction Technology and Management (CEC) courses at IIT Delhi is that CEC is offered to sponsored candidates whereas CET is offered to students who qualify for GATE in civil engineering with an AIR under 300 for general category.

The students who have completed their graduation in architecture and engineering are sponsored by DMRO to pursue Masters's Diploma in Construction technology and management. Additionally, L&T Constructions also sponsors graduates from Civil engineering, Mechanical engineering, and Electrical engineering backgrounds for Masters's Degrees in Construction Technology and Management.

Another distinguishing feature is the risk of placements. Civil Engineering students in general and CEC students specifically face backlash due to the deteriorating situation of the real estate sector and construction industry whereas CET students are sponsored and thus have no risk factor as their employment is guaranteed.

Apart from a few course differences, the two programs and opportunities offered are more or less the same.

My friend in Patna got selected easily for NIT Parna because of the Home State quota. Later in the 3rd - 4th round she got IIIT Jabalpur and not IIIT Lucknow. She went to IIIT Jabalpur after JoSAA rounds but kept her hopes high for the CSAB rounds. Finally, in the Spot round, she got IIIT Lucknow and she could not have been happier. To date, she never regrets choosing it over NIT Patna.

Here is the brief comparison of placement statistics of these institutes

Hope this helps you!

I don’t think the right information has reached you yet. In no way are the placements at IIT Patna better than IIT Bombay. Moreover, IIT Patna lacks opportunities in general while IIT Bombay has a plethora of opportunities apart from spectacular placements. 

Here is a comparison of the placement scenario of both the IITs

From the above table, it can easily be inferred that IIT Bombay has better placements than IIT Patna thereby proving your stance wrong.

The ‘better’ institute of the two; IIT Roorkee and IIIT Hyderabad is very subjective and depends on individual goals and preferences. However, you can draw a general comparison between the two based on some common factors like 

• Academics: IIIT-H has better professors and academic environment in comparison to IIT Roorkee. The professors are more experienced and adopt better pedagogy.
• Research: IIIT-H is known for its excellent research culture in the field of AI and vision. Some centers like Robotics Research Center (RRC) are ranked (by publications) among the top labs in Asia in their respective field. So research-wise, IIIT Hyderabad is the best.
• Placements: The placement scenario at IIIT Hyderabad is almost at par with top engineering institutes of the country like IIT Bombay and IIT Delhi.

• Alumni and Brand value: In contrast to the general misconception, IITs are not the only reputable engineering institutes and IIITs are fast catching up in the race. The alumni of IIIT Hyderabad and its branch value are almost at par with old IITs. 

I hope the above points suffice to claim IIIT Hyderabad is a better option than IIT Roorkee. It’s high time we stop running after IIT tags and look for the genuine worth of an Institute.
