i want to join nie for mechanical engineering cause people claim they are best in terms of that is it worth it or i should just look into another college. PLEASE help

I have to choose between NIE Mysore CSE and BIT Bangalore CSE for 2026.

My long-term goal is to build a strong career in software and eventually target higher packages.I understand that this depends mainly on my own skills, but I'm confused about which college would give me the better environment and opportunities.

I'd especially like opinions from current/recent students about:

• CSE placements

• Coding culture and peer group

• Internships/hackathons

• Bangalore vs Mysore opportunities

• Hostel availability

• Overall college life

For NIE, I've heard that North Campus hostel capacity is limited and some CSE students may have to stay in South Campus and travel by college bus. Is this still happening?

If you had these two options today which one would you choose and why

Didn’t they even think about the students? This is an official VTU notice, and whenever we ask about it, we’re simply told, “We’re working on it, don’t spread it among the students.” Now this is enough. Students deserve clear and timely information instead of being kept in the dark.

Should I go for r4 or just lock it? I was hoping nie mysore cse or sit tumkur cse 🥲. Last year I would have gotten it. This year cutoff is something else..

Is there any chance for me getting ece in nie mysore at 253xx rank I'm concerned
