Hello,

B.Tech (CS) is generally considered better than B.Sc. (CS) if you want to make a strong career in engineering or tech fields. It has a more in-depth syllabus, better job scope, and is more valued by companies.

However, if you are getting B.Sc. (CS) from JIIT Noida-62 and don’t have a good B.Tech option, you can go for it. JIIT has good faculty and placements.

But if you have a chance to do B.Tech (CS) from a decent college, go for B.Tech. It offers better growth in the long run.

Hope it helps !

I cannot go in a single way but as per my sources and things I have researched. if you want to get a proper settled arbitrary way of learning  JIIT Noida is the based choice but if you want a complete balance and have diverse modification of the subjects then AMITY Noida. As the Campus is quite same in both the colleges. It then comes into the preference of which is better for you

Hello, first off, congrats on getting into JIIT Noida-62 for B.Sc. Computer Science—that’s a solid achievement. The campus has a decent academic atmosphere, and while most people talk more about the B.Tech crowd, the B.Sc. program also gives you a good base in programming, logic, and applied computing. If you’re someone looking to go into tech, pursue higher studies, or even switch to MCA or M.Sc. later, it’s a good starting point.

KIET Ghaziabad and JIIT Noida are both good private engineering colleges. But JIIT Noida is a little better in terms of placements, especially for Computer Science and IT branches.

JIIT Noida gets more big companies like Amazon, Adobe, and other product-based companies. The average package in JIIT for CSE is around 7 to 8 lakh rupees per year. Some students also get very high packages above 20 lakh. KIET also has good placements, but the average package is slightly lower, around 5 to 6 lakh per year.

The campus of JIIT Noida is modern and clean. KIET has a bigger campus and more hostel space. JIIT is stricter in academics. KIET follows AKTU university syllabus.

So if you want better job placements, JIIT Noida is slightly better. If you want a bigger campus with good facilities and lower fees, then KIET is also a good choice.

Hello Aspirant,

Any student who has taken a lower branch seat but waiting for upgradation will be allotted a seat much sooner than the student who left the lower branch seat and is only on the waiting list. The former is already in the system considered for upgradation in each round and the latter will have their name considered after every other upgradation case is completed.
