Which is better, an IIT KGP CSE dual degree or an IIT Roorkee CSE B.Tech?
Without any second thoughts, choose IIT Roorkee CSE B. Tech over IIT KGP CSE dual degree because dual degrees are usually less preferred by companies coming for placements.
It’s better to do MTech after BTech than to opt for a dual degree. The main reason is that in Masters you are open to changing your branch in case your interest goes to another field. But a dual degree means you will be studying the same field with no option of changing in between.
Another major disadvantage of a dual degree is that you are not eligible to change your branch to a 4-year program irrespective of your CGPA
You will see your batchmates leaving a year before you and getting offers and settling well before you.
IIT KGP no doubt is older and better than IIT Roorkee in every aspect. But as far as the program is concerned, a dual degree is not worth spending so many years at all.
How is 5 years CSE dual degree in IIT Kharagpur in comparison to IIT Roorkee CSE?
My answer might contrast with the opinion of many. Most people go after IIT Roorkee dual degree and consider it a highly esteemed program. In my opinion, the dual degree itself is not a very good option although IIT Roorkee is an excellent institute.
People forget that recruiters do not consider 4-year or 5-year degree holders any differently and offer them similar profiles. In Fact, some recruiters even consider you inferior to BTech students. Moreover, unlike others getting PPOs a dual degree student is not allowed to even sit in the interviews during this time because you won’t be able to join for at least 2 more years.
Academically, both B.Tech and Dual degrees are similar and the 5th year usually comprises project work and wasting time. When it’s time for interviews you are made to sit with juniors and that lowers your confidence all the more. Moreover, if you are planning to attempt CAT or UPSC, this degree is useless. The only advantage probably is the additional one-year college life experience.
Which one is a better option: 5 year BTech + MTech in CSE in IIT Delhi or 4 year BTech in CSE in IIT Kanpur?
Both IIT Kanpur and IIT Delhi are premiere engineering institutes offering top-quality education. However, the curriculum at IIT Kanpur has a theoretical approach and is taught by better professors than at IIT Delhi. The curriculum at IIT Delhi has a practical approach.
Once you have decided on the Institute, you need to decide the program you will be pursuing; B.Tech or Dual degree. For someone interested in research, you can take BTech in IIT Kanpur and then go for MS from top foreign universities like Stanford or MIT. But if you are looking for a high-paying job, a BTech from IIT Kanpur or a dual degree from IIT Delhi would be more than enough to fetch you good packages.
Should I choose 5 years (I.T. + robotics) at IIIT Allahabad or 5 years CSE at IIEST Shibpur?
There’s no doubts about the fact that 5 years at IIITA is a smarter option compared to anything else. This is because of the simple calculation that you are going to study the same curriculum for 4 years BTech for 3 years. That is all about the core of CS and IT. One core and two electives are a part of the fourth year in a 4-year BTech program, which hardly makes any difference.
According to the experts, Robotics is the future of the IT industry and hence, finding yourself in the midst of such an academically enriching atmosphere which ensures a full time access to a premium robotics laboratory and esteemed faculty will certainly do good to you in more ways than you can ever imagine. That’s the kind of right exposure you are looking at.
