Which is the better option; doing computer engineering at SVNIT-Surat, Gujarat or b.tech in ict at DA-IICT Gandhinagar, Gujarat?

I am a resident of Surat, and SVNIT is very close to my house. During my college admissions, I was in the same dilemma. So I spent about a week at both the colleges to make a more informed choice. One of the professors at SVNIT suggested that I opt for B.Tech ICT at DAIICT over Computer Engineering at SVNIT. He told me that DAIICT is a better option for computer related branches. Here are some pros of joining DAIICT as a B.Tech ICT student- The placements at DAIICT are comparatively better. Though the NITs have an established brand name, the reputation of DAIICT is better than SVNIT in top companies like Amazon, Morgan Stanley, MAQ, etc. It has a greater number of GSoC qualifiers, and a better environment for Open Source Coding. The environment is superior for competitive coding as well, and students participate in great numbers in online programming contests on platforms like codeforces, etc. A large number of students prepare for exams like GRE, CAT, etc. Thus, a B.Tech ICT at DAIICT is better in comparison to Computer Engineering at SVNIT.

According to my friends at DAIICT, it is definitely a better choice among the two. Considering factors like placement, brand reputation, and coding culture. The points below give a brief overview of some of the advantages of choosing DAIICT over SVNIT. According to some professors of SVNIT itself, DAIICT is a better institute for CSE and IT, compared to SVNIT. The overall placement statistics of DAIICT are far better than that in SVNIT, with more high-paying jobs offered in the institute. DAIICT doesn’t have as good a reputation as NITs in India. But, in companies like Amazon, MAQ, Morgan Stanley, etc, DAIICT has a far better reputation than SVNIT. There is an excellent open-source coding environment in DAIICT. The number of GSoC entries from both institutes makes it evident that DAIICT has much more success in open-source contribution. Categories CSE at SVNIT ICT at DAIICT Course Fee 5.47 lakh 7.28 LPA Placement Percentage 90% 95% Highest CTC 35-40 LPA 43 LPA Average CTC 10-12 LPA 19 LPA Therefore, it is clear that DAIICT is a much better choice, especially in subjects like CS and IT. In DAIICT, there is a high exposure in higher studies among students. There is a good environment for competitive coding too in DAIICT. In every notable coding contest from platforms like Codeforces, Codechef, etc, there are at least 30-40 participants from DAIICT.

Cost to study is quite reasonable and affordable. Their are several scholarship options for students especially if you are from Gujarat though very limited options for NRI students. You also get some financial assistance from this institute.
