MC is a new branch at DTU so very little is known about it. My answer will surely help you gain help you consider it as a prospective choice.
Brand value: DTU's brand value has been able to attract a good crowd of students and recruiters over the past years. Despite having average faculties, it gives you enough resources and opportunities to pursue your passions in versatile fields. DTU offers exposure at the level of NITs.

It can be safely concluded that the file of computers is incomplete without Mathematics and this branch is here to fulfill the gap between the two. This branch rightly proves that Math and Computing go hand in hand.
The Financial subjects will help you secure jobs in the finance sector while the companies offering tech profiles will also consider students of this branch. MC is going to be one of the leading branches in the near future provided that committed students choose it and give their all to prove this branch's credibility.
Out of these two, Dayanand Sagar is definitely a better choice because it is an autonomous institute. However, you will encounter multiple distractions on the campus and it is advisable to be cognizant and not to neglect studies.
Dayanand Sagar has a good reputation in terms of co-curricular activities. One of my friends, who got RNSIT in the first round, waited and later opted for DSCE in 2nd round.
Trust me it was one of the life-changing decisions in his life. Rest is up to you, do whatever you feel like.
My friend is a student at IIT Patna and shared his side of the story about city life there. Unlike the general misconception, Patna is rather a safe city.
He visited the city frequently to buy basic things and never did he feel unsafe or comfortable during the 4 years of his stay.
The campus of IIT Patna spreads across a massive 500 acres and is beautifully designed. The campus is still in its development phase but not to the extent that it will hamper your college life experience in any way. Students can be seen roaming around and indulging in sports such as table tennis and cricket.
As for the CS department, IIT Patna is very dynamic and has many clubs that will keep you motivated and interested in the field. I would certainly recommend you to go to IIT Patna and experience the bliss of college life.
IT at IIEST Shibpur can be good but you need to utilize the opportunities you get properly. The infrastructure at the institute is good. Microsoft also recruits students from campus placements. In the past students have bagged good internship opportunities. One of the students was accepted for Google California (Internship). Compared to the CSE, the IT branch is a little behind in terms of salary packages offered. However, this branch has good diversity.
Faculties for CSE and IT branches are comparable and the IT department even has better faculty members for a few of the subjects. The main difference between CSE and IT is that IT is a sandwich branch of CST and Electronics. So, naturally, you will need to study some Electronics subjects too. For Communication Systems, the IT branch does not have decent faculties. Adding to that, the subject is also not that useful for the future. Despite that this subject eats a chunk of the time of IT students.
Another difference is CST introduces important subjects like algorithms in the 2nd year itself. Whereas, IT introduces these topics one year later.
Basically, the essence is the same for the two branches, there are some minor differences in curriculum and lab work. How you do in placements depends on your hard work.
Both IIT Delhi and IIT Madras CS are well-known for their CS course. The CS program of IIT Madras is very well-structured and satisfying.
IET Lucknow is a very popular engineering institute of our country. A lot of students across the country apply for admissions in the B.Tech courses offered in this college. One of my friends studied here, and I will be sharing the information I gathered from him.
Fee | Year 1 | Year 2 | Year 3 | Year 4 | Total |
Tuition Fee | 7,000,019 | 70,000 | 70,000 | 70,000 | 7,210,019 |
Hostel Fee | 14,500 | 14,500 | 14,500 | 14,500 | 58,000 |
Other Fee | 19,775 | 14,775 | 14,775 | 14,775 | 64,100 |
Total | 7,034, 294 | 99,275 | 99,275 | 99,275 | 7,332,119 |
This is the total fees you will have to spend to pursue B.Tech in CSE from IET Lucknow. This fee is pretty decent when compared to other private colleges where you will have to spend more than 10 lakhs in the total duration of 4 years.
A friend of mine has told me that CSE in Kalyani Government Engineering College is better than that in Jalpaiguri Government Engineering College. It can be owed to the location of both places. Kalyani is an IT hub and it is not far from Kolkata. On the other hand, it will take you twelve hours to reach Jalpaiguri from Kolkata by train. It goes without saying that CSE of Kalyani Government Engineering College is better and obviously more preferred to that of Jalpaiguri Government Engineering College.
The placements in both colleges are pretty much the same. The average package of both colleges is around 3.5 LPA in IT companies. It has to be said that more students get placed from KGEC.
KGEC is the more sought after institute because it attracts the better-ranked students. Most of the students whose ranks are under 3000 are from Kolkata, Hooghly, North 24 and South 24 Parganas regions. The faculty and infrastructure of both institutions are also pretty much similar.

Other than these, the placements in CSE in both colleges are almost the same and much higher than Heritage and/or IEM.

According to the 2021 cutoff trend, the required cutoff of CSE for OBC category students is 14577 (HS). If you are an out-of-state student then the cutoff is 3779. So, getting admission to the institute will be tough if you are not a resident of Goa.
The counseling process is done based on the AIR and not the category rank. The category rank is just a measure to rank you in your particular category. If your category is OBC NCL then your category rank would be the position among the other OBC students who had appeared for the examination.
Instead of recommending any specific institute, there are some myths that need to be debunked first:
You must compare the two courses based on the following features:
If you're specifically interested in CSE, then the first four points are almost equal for both BHU and Guwahati. When it comes to the other points, IITG has a better climate, while Varanasi may be better connected and nearer to your hometown.
So, it's up to you to weigh the pros and cons and decide which institute suits you better. Remember to make an informed decision and choose wisely.
I would recommend you choose IIT over NIT any day irrespective of the branch because it is recognized globally. The quality of packages and roles offered are also better and with the right motivation and determination, one can even change his branch to a better one.
At IIT Kanpur, I would advise you to go for Chemical rather than Civil. BTech Chemical Engineering combined with Masters in Petroleum Engineering is the highest paying bracket in the USA with more than 74000 Jobs available for outsiders in the Middle East, US, and Canada at a five yr median of $ 18600.
Additionally, at IIT Kanpur the ocean of electives to choose from enables you to pursue CS course side by side through certifications in 64/128/256 bit SSL Encryption, Data Structures, and Oracle which have great importance. While CS students can be found everywhere, you will find only a few Chemical Engineers.
Concludingly, it’s best to go for IIT Kanpur Chemical for the long term or IIT Kanpur Civil with a branch change to EEE or Mechanical in mind.
