In this day and age and with the pace world is changing with technology, one branch that will be of immense relevance in the future is Computer Science and Engineering. In 2019, when the young IITs which are now 11 years old shouldn't be skipped just because you may want to have some other branch at the older IITs. 

Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) at IIT Gandhinagar is a wonderful course that provides the best of the faculty with the latest curriculum. The fact that IIT Gandhinagar took 8 years to start its computer science course which many institutes start from its inception is the fact that it did extreme due diligence in faculty recruitment and crafting programs to train the students in the best possible way. 

Additionally, it is the placements that are at the top of the mind for a lot of students as well as their placements. When it comes to campus jobs, undoubtedly CSE is the champ among all branches of engineering. The who's and who of the world such as Microsoft, Google, Amazon, Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, etc. all hire for software roles. Top companies within India such as the Paytm, Flipkart also pull students for the software roles preferring CSE engineers. Not just that, these companies pay more than 20 lacs per annum at least in India, to about multiple lacs of dollars for abroad locations (these are the crore-plus packages that you read about in the newspapers). IIT Gandhinagar has had students who have bagged offers in Google, Nutanix to name just a few and these are some of the highest paying companies across all the IITs. Well, if you have a branch that is so future ready and an IIT that offers the best of it, the choice should be very clear. 

Hi Aspirant

All these options are great options.

Since you have no specific interest in any particular branch it comes down to picking up the right college.

There are a few things that must be kept in mind while choosing the college:

a) Alumni Network - The older the college the better Alumni Network  youw have and that helps a lot. In that case IIT Roorkee will be the best option for you.

b) Location - You must keep in mind that location plays a very major role. In case you decide to go for higher studies you must see which city will give you better opportunities for coaching.

c) Ranking - Going by the NIRF Rankings, the order would be IIT Roorkee then IIT Guwahati then IIT BHU.

Hope this helps. All the Best.

Hello aspirant, congratulations on performing well in GATE 2019 Examination. Based on your performance, it might get difficult for you to take admission in IIT Roorkee as the closing rank for 2018 was 430. However, you can try for ither IITs as well.

I hope this helps you.

Good luck!

It all depends on the field of your interest. Now IIT Roorkee is one of the top 7 IITs, and and Delhi is in top 3. So when it comes to placement or coaching you won't face any problems. But you should definitely choose the field which you like, and in which you want to establish your career. You should consider if you are interested in coding/electrical systems etc, and choose accordingly. Don't choose any just because it's in general demand. All the best

Hi Aspirant

Since you have not mentioned any category I will assume that you belong to the general category and will answer the question according to that.

According to last year cutoff ranks the cutoff for IIT Roorkee Civil Female seats only was 8108.

There are chances that it might change this year 

There are other branches in other IITs that you can look for.

Hope this helps. All the best.

Dear Jyoti,

The choice between branches depends upon your interest. However, in my opinion, the best choice is undoubtedly Computer Science from NIT Rourkela.

Following are the two main reasons for this:-

• COMPUTER SCIENCE IS BEST BRANCH
  

Computer science is the best branch of engineering nowadays, placement wise. All the highest placements you may have heard about in various NITs and IITs are from the CS department. CSE is the most demanded branch and undoubtedly the best branch to chose for engineering. This is the reason the CSE has the highest cutoffs in every college it is being offered.

Moreover, CSE is not a hard branch. In fact, it is one of the easiest branches of engineering. This reason itself is enough to choose CSE.

• NIT ROURKELA
  

NIT Rourkela is second on the list of top NITs list in 2019. The college matters a lot in professional courses. And NIT Rourkela is one of the best institutes available in the market. So this combination of the best branch is one of the best colleges is more than enough to choose NIT Rourkela over IIT Roorkee Biotechnology.

Hope this helps.

Thank You.

In general category.
