Ans: Shreyansh, Gradually you will get adjusted after you join ITER-SOA. Only thing, you should focus more academically to maintain a decent CGPA till 4th year to be competitive among other students for campus placement. Further insights/information here based on your question: ITER SOA’s established Computer Science & Engineering program offers consistently high placement rates—83%, 80%, 89% over the past three years—robust industry partnerships, accredited faculty with strong research credentials, and mature infrastructure, while GNSU’s nascent CSE stream (first graduating batch in 2026) provides modern facilities and proximity advantages but lacks placement history and industry exposure.
Siksha ‘O’ Anusandhan’s ITER Bhubaneswar CSE department benefits from NBA and ABET accreditation, a tenured faculty with PhDs and industry experience fostering research culture, dedicated CSE labs and smart classrooms, and signature annual industry conclaves connecting students with recruiters (e.g., Microsoft, Amazon) within a 40-acre campus designed for cross-disciplinary collaboration. Its placement cell has achieved 83% placement in 2020-21, 80% in 2021-22, and 89% in 2022-23, with 256 companies in 2023 drives, guaranteeing internships and strong alumni networks. In contrast, Gopal Narayan Singh University’s CSE program—launched in 2022—operates within a meticulously planned block layout featuring advanced digital learning facilities, air-conditioned classrooms, modular labs, health and sports complexes, and secure hostels just one hour from home. Faculty profiles reveal qualified and diverse expertise but limited large-scale research output. GNSU’s overall UG 4-year placement stands at 51.7% in 2023 for all streams, yet specific CSE placements remain unreported. Both institutions offer strong infrastructure, qualified faculty, and curricular rigor, but only ITER’s mature program delivers proven placement outcomes and extensive industry engagement.
Recommendation: Considering established placement performance, strong industry linkages, and accredited CSE curriculum, retaining your seat at ITER SOA Bhubaneswar is advisable. All the BEST for a Prosperous Future!
