Dear Aspirant,

The choice is not simple in your case as the branches are quite different and have their own reputation other than college. It is a famous saying that "prefer branch over college", and if this is so, then choose the branch of your interest. If you are interested in coding, computers, softwares, etc., then go for IIT GN(CSE). However, if you are more inclined towards machines and mathematics, etc then go for Mechanical.

CSE as a branch, undoubtedly have an upper hand over mechanical, or for that matter better than any branch. So if you do not have any preference, then go for CSE. It has better career opportunities than most of the other branches.

In summary, it is all about your interest and not about college, if you are comparing colleges like these. However, IIT Kanpur is definitely a good college than IIT Gandhinagar, but if you are not interested in mechanical or not interested in any of the branch then go for IIT GN.

Hope this helps.

Thank You and all the best.

Dear student, the mock rounds are not the exact results for getting a seat in IIT. They are just based on the basis of number of students registered for josaa counselling. Hence please wait for other more crowns and check for the previous year cutoff. This will give you more accuracy than more round 1.

Hello Biky

Congratulations on qualifying JEE!!

At this rank of yours, you won't be able to get B.Tech degree course in IIT Kharagpur, although you can get Architecture course( 5 year course of B.Arch) . Thus , I would rather recommend you to go with IIT Gandhinagar( as you might be getting a beter option here, according to the branch). Or else, if you wish, you could also check for the college predictor link-https://engineering.careers360.com/jee-advanced-college-predictor?icn-JEE_Advanced-clgpd&ici=JEE-Advanced-article-text-mapping

I hope this helps you. All the best!!

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.
