Should anyone go for IIIT, Bhopal (opened this year) IT or opt for CSE from JSS, Noida?
This kind of confusion arises among other students. My brother was also one of them and most of his seniors recommended IIIT because it is a premier national institute. No matter this is a new institute but soon this institute will take its place.
The other reason is that IIIT Bhopal’s mentor institute is MANIT Bhopal where the professors are from NIT. But if you are getting a fee waiver in JSS College then you should go for JSS.
Most importantly, JSS is a private institution and IIIT is a government college so you will benefit in terms of fees.

I am getting IT branch in NIT Surathkal and CS branch in IIIT Bangalore, which one should I opt?
When it comes to choosing a college and a branch for your undergraduate studies in computer science, it's important to consider various factors such as the quality of education, faculty, infrastructure, and most importantly, the placement prospects.
Firstly, IIIT Bangalore is exclusively dedicated to information technology and computer science education, while NIT Surathkal offers a wide range of engineering courses including IT and CS. However, CS at IIIT Bangalore and IT at NIT Surathkal has comparable curriculums, and you can expect to learn programming languages, algorithms, databases, networking, software engineering, and more.
Let's take a look at the current placement statistics of both colleges in their CS branch:
- IIIT Bangalore: The average placement package for the CS branch is around 13 lakhs per annum, with top recruiters including Google, Microsoft, Amazon, Flipkart, and more. The highest package offered is around 50 lakhs per annum. The placement rate is around 95%, and most students get placed within the first few days of the placement season.
- NIT Surathkal: The average placement package for the IT branch is around 8-9 lakhs per annum, while the CS branch has a slightly higher average package of around 10-11 lakhs per annum. The top recruiters include Microsoft, Amazon, Oracle, IBM, and more. The highest package offered is around 42 lakhs per annum. The placement rate is around 90%, and some students get placed in non-technical roles as well.
Now, let's talk about the other aspects of these colleges:
- Faculty: Both IIIT Bangalore and NIT Surathkal have experienced and qualified faculty members who are dedicated to providing quality education and guidance to students.
- Infrastructure: IIIT Bangalore has a modern and well-equipped campus with state-of-the-art labs, a library, hostels, sports facilities, and more. NIT Surathkal has a vast and sprawling campus with good facilities, although some departments may lack the latest equipment.
- Location: IIIT Bangalore is located in the heart of the city, making it easily accessible and providing plenty of opportunities for internships, projects, and collaborations with industry. NIT Surathkal is located in a scenic coastal town, which may be preferable for some students who enjoy a quieter environment.
In conclusion, both IIIT Bangalore and NIT Surathkal are excellent choices for pursuing a career in IT or CS. However, if you prioritize a CS certificate, slightly higher average placement packages, and a central location, IIIT Bangalore may be a better option for you.
What should I prefer, KJ Somaiya IT or CS from Thadomal Shahani?
There isn't much of a difference between IT and CS, forget institutes individually where you would pursue them. Both CS and IT happen to consist of more or less the same subjects and the course pattern is also similar. There are only a handful of subjects that do not match when it comes to the subject courses of CS and IT and trust me, that isn't as important as it seems.
Eventually, it is all about your choice of college. It is assumed that you have done some prior research beforehand on the institutes. A former student of this institute who I know would also suggest not giving too much importance to the branches either.
Also, special mention to KJ Somaiya as along with the benefits of autonomy, you would be able to grab better placement opportunities for yourself at reputed companies with a handsome salary package. The top recruiters of the students of KJ Somaiya are Cognizant, PwC, Amazon, etc. Till now, 90% of students have been placed and the CTC was as high as 29.75 LPA and the average CTC stood at 9.4 LPA. Banking, Financial Services, IT are the sectors which recruited the most students.
