I am getting CSE in Haldia Institute of Technology and BSc hotel management in IHM Pusa, New Delhi. What should I choose?
My friend chose Haldia Institute of Technology over IHM Pusa because of its popularity. Choosing a college totally depends on you and by far my friend hadn’t regretted choosing it
If the food, the serving technique, and the interaction with the guests seem attractive to you then without any hesitation choose IHM Pusa.
Moreover, IHM Pusa is the best for hotel management but on the other hand, Haldia Institute of Technology is prominent for CSE.
Make a choice wisely and with all your interest so that you don’t regret it later.

Is IIIT Una better than Thapar Institute Patiala?
Thapar institute has been established way before IIIT Una and over this period of time has created a great alumni network working at different positions worldwide. The faculty in Thapar Currently has over 20+ years of experience and is well known among the students.
On the other hand, IIIT Una is a newly established IIIT and the problem with this is that it still does not even have its own campus. IIIT Una is operating under NIT Hamirpur; this leads to the problem of no classes to fit all these students of both different Universities together. The classes get clashed, labs are not enough and faculty has a hard time coping up. This creates chaos on campus, which results in lower placement.
Here are the recent placement highlights at the institutes.

So, going by all these factors, it is safe to say IIIT Una is not better than Thapar.
Which is better given I am more interested in programming, a CSE at IIIT Guwahati, an ECE at NIT Agartala, or an ME at NIT Silchar?
The short answer is CSE at IIIT Guwahati. If you are primarily interested in programming and coding culture, CSE at IIIT Guwahati is the best choice. However, if you are strongly passionate about any branch then college must not make a huge difference.
I have friends studying in all of these colleges and honestly, they do differ according to their ranking and branch. But if you are keen on CSE then such factors become secondary.
Nevertheless, here are some things you must know before choosing.
- ME at NIT Silchar is also a great option if mechanical engineering is your passion. It has a better ranking among all these options.
- IIIT Guwahati has a great potential of growing to significant heights in the next few years. That’s why CSE at IIIT Guwahati is the best bet for now if you are keen on programming.
- ECE at NIT Agartala cannot surpass any of the above options because neither the ranking is better nor the branch.

Overall, IIIT Guwahati stands as the foremost priority if CSE is your choice. On the other hand, if you are still confused about the branch then go with ME at NIT Silchar without a doubt. Avoid ECE at NIT Agartala as the other two options are much better in terms of everything.

- BITS Hyderabad (CSE)
- NIT Surathkal(CSE)

- BITS Goa has the advantages of its Bits tag, excellent coding culture, has developed some great coders from the last 2-3 years, splendid location and amazing campus life.
- DTU is one of the best colleges in India with a decent coding culture and has the advantage of being located in the capital. Additionally, it has the advantage of an extensive alumni pool, location in the national capital, and a good alumni base
- BITS Hyderabad is almost similar to BITS Goa in all aspects as the placements conducted are centralized
- NIT Surathkal and Trichy are the oldest and best NITs of India offering great placements, especially for the CSE branch.
- As far as the IT field is concerned, IIIT Allahabad is superior to all NITs except NIT Warangal, Surathkal, and Trichy.
Ultimately, the final decision is based on various parameters and personal preferences should be given due consideration.
Which is better, bootcamp or an MBA from new IIM (Udaipur, Trichy) to switch to data analytics? I have a 3 years work experience as a QA engineer.
I will give you an insight into both the options you mentioned, i.eMBA from IIM or Bootcamp.
Bootcamp: If you are very passionate about Data Analytics then Bootcamp is the best option for you. I deem this course better than an MBA from B School as a B School covers various arenas of Management while Bootcamp solely focuses on what you are looking for. Moreover, you will end up paying hefty fees and will have to pay loans for years. It provided a detailed approach to Data Analytics and you don’t have to study irrelevant topics
B School: B schools like the new IIMs are good for people who are not certain of their career interests. In that case, B-school would teach you much more than Data Analytics, and then you can pursue the field you excel in or are most passionate about. The excellent pedagogy of IIMs enables you to inculcate skills like handling a project, building a workforce, execution, etc. Basically, you are groomed on an overall basis and get industry exposure as well.
I have seen many people pursuing MBA and also online courses that offer Certification in Data Analytics specifically. So that is also a viable option for you.
Which is better if I am an IS aspirant, mechanical engineering in PES University or IS in RNSIT?
PES University is an autonomous university. The marking system of the college is good. IS branch in RSIT is good. The college offers 98% placement to its students. The college is affiliated with VDU.
The evaluation process of this university is not good. But the college will help you in gaining knowledge. PES university will be good for you if you want to take the mechanical branch. CS and IS students get good placements in the RNSIT college. The highest package has gone to INR 10 LPA in companies like Amazon. The students who do not get placements in the first round are recruited by companies like Accenture and TCS in their mass recruitment drives.
The placement statistics of RNSIT college is as follows:
| Total offers received | 707 |
| Overall placement percentage | 73% |
| Total companies visited | 101 |
| Top recruiters | Adobe, Infosys, Accenture, etc. |
| Average CTC | INR 2.6 LPA-6.2 LPA. |
| Highest CTC offered | INR 19 LPA. |
The academics, infrastructure, culture, and sports facilities are all good in the college. There is no ragging on the campus. The college seniors are very friendly and welcoming. Overall RNSIT is a good college.
Which is better, TBS Jaipur or BIMTECH Noida?
BIMTECH Noida is better than TBS Jaipur, the campus life and culture of BIMTECH Noida is too happening and the curriculum and placements are also good. You can enjoy much more in Noida as compared to Jaipur, although TBS Jaipur is also a decent option, but BIMTECH wins completely.
