Dear Sir, Now my daugther got 2 offers from BITS Pilani on dual degrees. (1) Computer Science - Pilani campus + University of Buffalo (SUNY) (2+2 years program). (2) Computer Science - Hyderabad campus + Iowa State University (2+2 years program). I have to go for Education loan for her US Universities fee. As per her JEE Mains score, she has NIT Trichy EEE. Cost of BITS + US Universities cost is 10X compared to NIT Trichy. Does undergraduate students in US get enough opportunities (in the current economic scenario) to justify the investment we need to do ? If yes, shall we prefer Pilani +UB or Hyd + IOWA ? Please suggest. Thanks.

Hello, sir please help me choose between Electrical and Computer Engineering in Manipal Jaipur or Bennet University CSE. My goal is to upskill myself in software and IT, also looking for a good peer, placement and exposure. It would be a great help for shaping my future. Waiting eagerly for your replies..
Ans: Shivam, Bennett University’s B.Tech CSE program, under a Times Group-backed deemed university, holds NAAC A++ accreditation and an IIRF overall rank of #26 among private universities in 2025. The School of CSET boasts 100% PhD faculty, 110+ state-of-the-art labs (NVIDIA AI CoE, Apple iMac, Dell EMC Analytics), and research output exceeding 900 publications and 74 patents. Its placement cell facilitated 232 recruiters in 2023, with CSE placements around 70–80% over three years, and top interns progressing from year two into full-time roles.

Given your goal to upskill in software and IT, a strong peer group, and robust placement and exposure, both offer modern infrastructure and industry linkages. However, MIS Jaipur’s ECE provides broader hardware-software integration with higher placement consistency, while Bennett delivers specialized computing facilities and research intensity, though its CSE placements are slightly lower.

Recommendation: Prioritise Manipal Jaipur ECE for consistent 93% placements, extensive recruiter network, and dual hardware-software labs enhancing employability in IT roles. Choose Bennett CSE if you seek cutting-edge AI/ML research labs, a PhD-leaning faculty cohort, and don’t mind slightly lower placement rates for deeper software exposure. All the BEST for the Admission & a Prosperous Future!

Sir please suggest me the better option between ssn integrated mtech cse core and shiv nadar university chennai ai and data science
Ans: Ganesh, Sri Sivasubramaniya Nadar College of Engineering’s five-year Integrated M.Tech in CSE is NBA-accredited and holds NAAC A++ status, led by over 90% PhD-qualified faculty and supported by dedicated Data Science, Machine Learning, and IoT labs. Its Career Development Centre reports a 100% placement rate for M.Tech CSE over the last two years and an average placement rate of 89% for the past three years, with recruiters such as Amazon, Google, and IBM. Shiv Nadar University Chennai’s two-year M.Tech in AI & Data Science is offered by an Institution of Eminence, accredited by UGC and NAAC A, featuring state-of-the-art AI/ML and Computer Vision labs, a high-performance GPU cluster, and industry collaborations through research centers in generative AI and big-data analytics; however, as a newly launched PG program (2023), dedicated placement data for M.Tech cohorts are not yet available, though its UG AI/DS program achieves 95% placements.

Recommendation: For proven placement consistency, established accreditation, and mature CSE infrastructure with near-universal campus hiring, prefer SSN’s Integrated M.Tech CSE. If cutting-edge AI/DS research facilities, IoE branding, and interdisciplinary innovation opportunities outweigh immediate placement certainty, consider SNU Chennai’s M.Tech AI & Data Science once its initial PG placement data matures. All the BEST for the Admission & a Prosperous Future!

IIITH CSE vs BITS PILANI MNC/ECE vs BITS GOA/HYD CSE How to choose betweem these? I have heard that placements are similar in these colleges. How to decide ? Kindly help me as many people said there are no extracurriculars in iiith
Ans: IIIT-Hyderabad CSE records a 99.27% overall placement rate with an average package of ?26.34 LPA and peak recruiter engagement from top product firms in AI, systems, and R&D, but its smaller campus and intense academics can limit extracurricular breadth. BITS Pilani’s Mathematics & Computing and ECE branches maintain ~90% first-degree placements with average packages of ?20–24 LPA, supported by legacy labs, a six-month Practice School internship program, and an expansive alumni network. BITS Goa CSE achieves ~91% UG placements with an average package of ?20.36 LPA, offering modern computing and AI labs across its three campuses, though its comparatively lower campus brand may affect recruiter depth slightly. All three boast PhD-qualified faculty, NBA/NAAC accreditations, and strong industry tie-ups, delivering similar placement consistency but differing in campus culture, research focus, and extracurricular opportunities.

Recommendation: For top-tier research, global product roles, and willingness to forgo extensive extracurriculars, choose IIIT-Hyderabad CSE. For a balanced interdisciplinary curriculum with robust internship pipelines and alumni mentorship, opt for BITS Pilani MnC/ECE. If you prefer modern multi-campus exposure and strong AI-lab infrastructure, select BITS Goa CSE. All the BEST for the Admission & a Prosperous Future!

My daughter is getting CSE at RVCE as well as Mathematics and Computing at IIT Goa and Dharwad. Where does RVCE stand in comparison to these IITs and what would be the better choice?
Ans: RV College of Engineering’s CSE program, NAAC A+ and NBA accredited, benefits from a 1:13 faculty-student ratio with predominantly PhD holders, well-equipped programming, AI/ML, and networking labs, strong Bangalore-based industry tie-ups, and a three-year average placement rate of 88% (97% in 2022, 93% in 2023, 75% in 2024). IIT Goa’s BTech in Mathematics and Computing, NIRF-ranked and NBA/NAAC accredited, has specialized computational and applied mathematics labs, direct research collaborations with IIT Bombay, 96% of the 2024 batch placed in CSE/MnC roles, and a 90.7% overall placement rate over three years. IIT Dharwad’s MnC program, NIRF #101-150, offers interdisciplinary curriculum with high-performance computing and simulation facilities, PhD-active faculty, but records a 61.7% CSE/MnC placement in 2024. All three have robust career cells, but RVCE leads in placement consistency and Bangalore ecosystem, while IIT Goa excels in brand, research orientation, and high median placements, and IIT Dharwad offers strong lab infrastructure with improving industry outreach.

Final Recommendation:
For immediate placement strength and industry integration in Bangalore, recommendation is RVCE CSE. If long-term research scope, brand value, and higher median packages matter more, choose IIT Goa MnC. IIT Dharwad MnC is a solid alternative if you prioritise interdisciplinary computing labs and lower fees. All the BEST for the Admission & a Prosperous Future!
