Cs goa vs Cs pilani
Ill surely get MnC Pilani, might be getting Cse too who knows idk.
Am i stupid for wanting goa over pilani?
I mean certainly goa has the Goa charm, and there's no point in denying that im not seduced by it, however id like to think thats its not the main reason. 'if' pilani has a significant edge over goa, then it might be foolish to even consider the aforementioned reason. What could make pilani better? -
peer group:- id say slightly better due to cutoffs, however apparently goa fares better in comp. Coding, and their cse dep. Ranks higher???
academics:- professors, courses(minors and elecs available), grading(v.imp)
2)alumni network:- if its just the same degree in diff. Campuses, i believe i wouldnt find any discrimination based on campus?
- internships:- ps2 is centralized, so is there any diff?
3)placements:- i saw these https://www.reddit.com/r/Btechtards/s/b5cRSx6aAt

Going by this data, the diff bw med ctc is 5-6 lakhs, and then there's the quant factor, although the importance of which would depend on your sexual feelings about this job and/or how cracked you are.
Quant and its pay do not arouse me, although pretty much nothing does, so might as well do what pays the most, but then im not cracked enough to even think about ts.
4)research/abroad/general future prospects:- i dont think the campus matters much here, does it?
So what really is the gap bw pilani and goa, that of tier 1 amd tier 2 iits? Is it that huge?(not what she said)
Now as to my reason that does not involve goa being sexy af:- (please dont clown me for this, i have really low self esteem)
it seems that the filmmaking culture is more active over there, as the club seems to be doing more, and iffi and stuff. Goa also apparently has the best grading now? Now i dont mind ending up with a 30lpa instead of a 35lpa IF i get to thoroughly explore my deep interest in storytelling(not fixating on a medium), however i wouldnt want to sacrifice too much for a merit thats most probably not even real because on what metrics would you even judge it? Its all based on non-rational hunches and vibes. Its highly likely, almost certain that it would turn out to be a stupid argument and my mind is subconsciously making this up to mask the fact that QoL is the sole reason im in this dilemma.
Would i heavily be compromising on the academics and opportunities? And if the 6lakh is all the diff there is (there must be something more than this im sure), then wouldnt QoL alone be reason enough?
Ik its the bitsat sub but please only the seniors who are actually studying there guide me.
Sorry for being so verbose, brevity is not my friend when im sleep deprived and anxious over taking the road less travelled by and that making all the difference.
