I get computer science in KIIT For m.tech,and i got artificial intelligence and data science in vit Bhopal,so which one is better choice for mtech?

Ans: Suman, If your priority is strong placements, established reputation, and broader Computer Science exposure, KIIT University’s M.Tech in Computer Science is the better choice.

If you prefer a specialized program in AI and Data Science and are willing to bet on a newer campus with growing opportunities, then VIT Bhopal’s M.Tech in AI & Data Science is a good alternative. All the best for your admissions & for your bright future!

Dear Sir, My son has secured a seat in CSE at PES University, RR Campus, Bengaluru based on his JEE PES ranking. His JEE Main rank is 39,257, and he has also been allotted AI & DS at IIIT Dharwad and IIIT Kalyani in the first three rounds of counselling. As per last year's CSAB data, he is likely to get CSE, AI & DS, or ECE in IIITs such as Dharwad, Raichur, Kottayam, Nagpur, and Bhubaneswar in the upcoming rounds. We are seeking your guidance on which would be the better option for him. If he opts for an IIIT, which one among these within his expected range would you recommend as the best choice?
Ans: Prashant Sir, PES University’s Ring Road Campus CSE program is NBA- and NAAC-accredited, taught by PhD-qualified faculty, and supported by advanced computing, AI/ML, and networking labs. It recorded an 82.97% placement rate in 2023 with a median package of ?8 LPA and an average of ?8 LPA–?12 LPA, engaging 350+ recruiters including Microsoft, Amazon, Google, Cisco, and Cisco. Among IIITs in your son’s rank range, IIIT Nagpur leads with an 88.5% placement rate, average package ?13.11 LPA, median ?11 LPA, and participation from 200+ recruiters like Adobe and Accenture. IIIT Kalyani follows with an 89.33% placement rate and average package ?10.72 LPA. IIIT Dharwad has a 66%–78% placement rate, average ?10 LPA, and strong industry tie-ups via its Career Guidance Cell. IIIT Kottayam achieved an 83% placement rate in 2024, average ?12.66 LPA with 86 recruiters including Bosch and Infosys. IIIT Bhubaneswar reports a 79% placement rate, CSE average package ?9 LPA and median ?10 LPA across 42 recruiters like Amazon and Capgemini. IIIT Raichur’s emerging 68.8% placement rate with average ?18 LPA and median ?15 LPA positions it as a growing option. All IIITs are Institutes of National Importance, offering robust labs, research centers, student clubs, and industry internships under PPP models.

Final Recommendation: Select IIIT Nagpur CSE for its superior 88.5% placement rate, ?13.11 LPA average package, and diversified recruiter pool. Next, consider IIIT Kalyani CSE & DS for its 89.33% placements and solid PPP backing. Third is IIIT Dharwad CSE, offering a balanced ?10 LPA average, followed by IIIT Kottayam AI & DS for ?12.66 LPA average. Choose PES University CSE only if private-university infrastructure and near-100% placements outweigh the specialized focus of IIITs; IIIT Bhubaneswar CSE and IIIT Raichur CSE serve as reliable backups. All the BEST for the Admission & a Prosperous Future!
