Both institutes have 90-99% placement rates and offer good opportunities with well-known companies, hence the choice rests with the student.

This depends on the subjects chosen, your commitment towards it, and your future goals too. For courses such as CSE, IT, EEE, ECE then KEC (Kongu Engineering College) would be the better option. 

• The placement opportunities there are better in product-based companies too. 
• Lots of interesting projects, internships, and technical training are conducted by KEC.
• The placement services in KEC start from the 3rd year itself and students get selected in the service-based IT sector from all the major branches. 
• It is also helpful for the students who want to pursue their master’s degree later through exams such as IES, GATE, IAS, IFS, CAT, etc. 

In KEC you will be prepared for all your future endeavors. Kongu Engineering College is definitely the better choice out of the two.

Since most of my friends studied at BITS Goa. It is suggested you go for it, as my friends had nothing but good things to say about the institute. According to them, it is the best institute for CS without any doubt.

• BITS Goa has no reservation policies, the peers are quite competitive, so be prepared for that.
• Moreover, the only flaw is that it can be expensive for financially weak students.
• But this institute provides scholarships which is a great solution to this problem.

• If we talk about the Computer Science department, you will get to learn a lot as it is the best program on Goa Campus.
• Furthermore, BITS Pilani and Goa have the best culture when it comes to coding.

• Besides academics, the campus is well maintained, the hostels are all hygienic and the food of mess is also appreciable.

BITS Goa has been listed among the top 5 IITs in the GSoC selections every year. It has remarkably beaten up some prominent IITs.

Out of the two branches, Civil Engineering from CUSAT is the better choice. The following reasons will justify the choice.

• The median package offered by the branch is INR 4.5 LPA.
• The branch has a cut-off of 2313, i.e., quality people get admitted.

• The Civil Department has excellent and experienced faculty. They provide quality learning to their students.

• The campus is vast, spread across 180 acres. You can enjoy life with academics.

• There are extra-curricular and practical learning opportunities throughout the years.

• The curriculum followed by CUSAT is quite decent and well-framed. It is considered to be more rigid than other universities. But it is not very difficult to grasp if you put in hard work.

The placements of both the branches are bad. Civil Engineering packages are not excellent across India, but CUSAT is a preferred choice.Civil Engineering is decent for the students if they want to work in core companies. However, if you are choosing EEE, then you can appear for civil services examinations and a job guarantee will be there.

According to one of my friends' experiences, preparing for M.Tech along with your studies is very difficult. Often you do not get stipulated time to prepare for ESE due to the mini-projects and assignments that you get very frequently. 

Also, you need to especially take care of your CGPA, but if you are not worried about the CGPA you can go ahead with preparing at the full pace like few other students who do the same.

Thus, we can conclude that preparing for ESE simultaneously is really a very big task. If you have the caliber of doing the same, you can follow your will and start accordingly.
