B.Tech

In my personal view, I would prefer NIIT University over UPES-Dehradun, for the below mentioned reasons. One of the added bonus is that of the NIIT legacy, belonging to the IT background, NIIT proves to be a strong backbone for NU. It has been in the software development and IT for the past few decades. Course structure
NU B.Tech in Computer Science with emphasis on Digital Transformation Technologies, is mainly focused on building a strong foundation in mathematical and algorithmic concepts. It has a strong industry linkage to make students industry-ready. The course is well defined and well executed as well. Even if you didn't have computer background, it is not that of an issue. There is a brief introductory session where the basis of computer Science is taught. Industry link
One of the advantages and true to the core principles of the university is the strong industry linkage. Industry professionals will work as mentors along with the faculty giving the dual advantage of academic rigor and industry relevance to students. For the batch of 2017, the placement was 100% the highest domestic package was of INR 11 Lacs per annum (international was 47.95lakh per annum). And, the average package was of INR 4.63 Lacs per annum. Data Science programme
The eighth semester is used for an industry project, which can be completed either at the industry site or in the campus under joint supervision of industry and faculty mentors. At the end of the programme, the successful candidates are hired by the industry partner. Currently the industry partner participating in this programme is IBM. Faculty for B.Tech Computer Science and Technology area at NIIT University are from well-known universities like Missouri University of Science and Technology, Roll, Missouri, USA, Ohio University, Athens, Ohio, USA and University of Minnesota at Minneapolis, USA. The faculty comes with rich prior work experience in teaching, research, industry and the government. Their research has been published in several international journals and conference proceedings.

Comparison between Jalpaiguri Government Engineering College (JGEC) and Techno India:
1. JGEC is a government institute whereas Techno India is private. This means the total expenditure in JGEC (including college and mess fees for 4 years) is about 1.8-2.5 lacs for non-core department and less than 1.5 lacs for core departments. But in Techno India, it will be around 4 lacs (only the college fee for four years).
2. JGEC is one of the best government institutes in West Bengal.
3. JGEC has scenic beauty but away from Kolkata. Techno India is in Kolkata.
4. Placements: Placements are more or less the same in state engineering colleges. JGEC has about 60-70% placements and Techno India has about 50%.
5. Apart from TFW (tuition fee waiver), there are other scholarships in JGEC.
6. JGEC has its own hostels (4 boys hostels and 1 girls hostel) and they provide nearly 100% accommodation. Whereas Techno India doesn't have hostels but they manage accommodation in nearby PGs. Hostel fee in JGEC is reasonable.
So I think JGEC is better between the two.
