Computer Science and Engineering

Polaris and Newton are not college and university itself, neither are they affiliated to any university as a college. They just "partner" with institutions to provide B.Tech degrees. These institutions mostly not well known universities with no legacy and ranking, like Madhavi, Rishihood, which are looking for a new stream of revenue for themselves. The partnership comes with trade offs and limitations, and they are bound to follow the same prescribed curriculum and rules of UGC and AICTE to function legally.

Scaler is also not a college or university. But their structure is different. They don't partner with any institution and get complete freedom in choosing their own teachers and designing their own curriculum accordingly to market Standards by their own standards. The students there opt for 4 year Bsc/ degrees from BITs or IIT Madras, which are proper recognised degrees and equivalent to regular degrees, according to UGC guidelines. Also, these degrees are from well known institutions, which are also Institutes of eminence, not unheard institutions. A 4 year BS/ Bsc hons. degree and BE/ B.Tech are both equivalent to NcRF rating of 6, also known as Degree (hons.) category. That makes you eligible of exams like GATE, UPSC, CAT, GMAT, GRE for higher studies in India and abroad, and also for all sorts of relevant jobs.

Having a degree from an Institute of Eminence is an added advantage in addition to good skill set, because you are often asked "whether your degree is from an Institute of Eminence" while filling forms of higher studies from IIMs and other Bschools in India and in college applications for doing MS and MBA abroad.

At LPU, Phase 1A, 1B, and Phase 2 are simply different admission phases, not different courses or campuses. The main difference is timing and benefits. In Phase 1A and 1B (early phases), students usually get higher chances of scholarships, better fee concessions, and more availability of preferred branches like CSE. In Phase 2 (later phase), admission is still open, but scholarship benefits may be reduced and popular branches can start filling up, so options may be limited.

Regarding campuses, LPU has only one main campus in Punjab for engineering, including CSE. There are not multiple campuses for CSE, but since the university is very large, students are divided into different blocks, labs, and sections within the same campus. This sometimes feels like multiple campuses, but it is actually one single, large integrated campus.

Yes, with a rank of 14146 in LPUNEST, you still have a good chance of getting admission in Computer Science and Engineering at Lovely Professional University (LPU). Admission in LPU is not based only on rank but also on your 12th marks and overall eligibility criteria. If you have around 50% or more in your qualifying exams, getting CSE is quite easy. With slightly lower marks, you may still get admission in later rounds or in CSE with specialization. Moreover, your rank may affect the scholarship amount you receive. Overall, admission is very much possible but the final allotment depends on seat availability and your academic performance.

This decision of selecting JIIT Noida (CSE) over lower branches at DTU or NSUT depends on your career goals and interest-

• Branch Priority: If you are passionate about coding and software development, choosing CSE at JIIT is generally recommended over a non-tech branch (like Civil or Environmental) at Delhi Technological University (DTU) or Netaji Subhas University of Technology (NSUT).
• College Brand: DTU and NSUT carry a higher "government brand" value, which can be beneficial for non-tech roles (consulting) or higher studies. JIIT offers a very strong coding culture and tech-focused exposure that rivals these institutes for software engineering roles.
