NIT or IIT?

Hey, I am a CS graduate 2012 from a pvt self financing college. And just like many of my classmates i want to be an IITian, badly.. I have a good score 2012 CS(Score: 520, No privilege). I searched and understood IIT is not possible, but some NIT may admit me. I do have plans to go to Hyderabad for GATE coaching. How much of assured can I be, for a drastic betterment in my score? Should I take some coaching or join straightaway? If any have an experience or some suggestion, please reply..

It depends on how much dedicated you are in your preparation! Anyways, coaching does help and i have seen people going from AIR 24,000 to 131 through one year coaching. So, there are good chances of drastic betterment, provided you are ready to work for it....😀

That is great. THANK YOU.

Hi MMB
Self study is sufficient if you have all the concepts clear about various topics in Computer Science. If not, go for a decent coaching. All the best. 👍 Keep us updated.
