IET Lucknow B.Tech Electronics And Instrumentation Engineering: Fees 2025, Course Duration, Dates, Eligibility

Electronics and Instrumentation and Electronics and Communication are a part of the electronics department. Both the branches are perfect in their place. Since I have some friends studying Electronics and Instrumentation Engineering at IET Lucknow, I might be able to answer your question.

• If you look at the campus placements then it is not as good as CS, IT, etc. branches.
• The packages offered to some students of EI are also not good. (about 3 lac average.)
• But in the GATE exam, every year many students of EI secure good ranks, and even toppers are from IET Lucknow.
• For example, in the 2016 gate exam, Monti with AIR-4 & Vipin Sukla sir had secured AIR-18 and he graduated from IIT Bombay.

The course is good but the placement stats are not very good. If good placement is what you are searching for as the main parameter then you may consider other options.

IET Lucknow is one of the famous colleges in Uttar Pradesh. Although being a Tier-3 college, it is preferred by students, as it is fully managed by the Government. One of my friends studied here and these are some of the facts I gathered from her about the college.

• Most of the degree holders end up becoming clerks in services-based companies. Their salary packages range from 3-4 LPA.
• There are various mass recruiting IT companies, mostly service-based companies like TCS, Infosys, Wipro, CTS, etc. which allow the students to sit in campus placements.
• Once the highest package of IET Lucknow was 30 LPA by Amazon and the average package was 7 LPA.
• Consulting seniors about placements will also help you a lot.
• There are no such major opportunities for core placements for the EI branch. 
• But if you want a job in IT services, companies or firms then there are plenty of on-campus as well as off-campus opportunities.

These were some of the basic points you should know about placements. Also last year some of the students were placed in MNCs like DE Shaw, Code Nation, Amazon, Byju's, etc. If you want to prepare for GATE/CAT/GRE, there is a wonderful environment at IET Lucknow. 

There are both pros and cons regarding the EI branch in IET Lucknow. The important ones are listed below:

Pros: 

• IET Lucknow being a recognized institute provides excellent exposure to the students belonging to the EI branch. They are directly in contact with the market and industries which gives them the practical aspect of the course. 
• Seniors at IET Lucknow are really helpful and act as a good mentors with really good guidance. 
• Students from the EI Branch are recruited by Tech giants such Wipro, AQ, TCS, Tech Mahindra and etc. If you are good at coding and programming, then you will receive great offers.
• IET Lucknow conducts lots of extracurricular activities to build up your personality and they vary in such a way that everyone can do something according to their interest.

Cons: 

• The professors in EI Branch are average in their fields. They have no awards in their respective branch. 
• Students have to stay on good terms with the professors otherwise they deduct marks. 
• Moreover, EI and EC are handled by a single department and EC gets more preference and support from the department.

Moreover, IET Lucknow is a top-ranking institute and various students have topped in GATE. The competition is also low and you can go for it.

Choosing between NIT and IET Lucknow will be a tough task. As both have their own qualities and reputation.

• If you are hardworking and sincere enough with good academics then learning new skills will be easier for you. 
• You will gain the knowledge of working in industry through proper training offered by the colleges, be it NIT or IET.
• If you want to choose between the colleges, consider some points. 
• These include Course fees, Facilities, Infrastructure, faculty, alumni network, placements, academics, etc. 
• But yes, if you are getting any decent NIT with a good branch then you should go for it. 
• If a particular branch is not your utmost priority, then you can go for the top NITs. 
• In case you are not getting any good NIT then go for IET Lucknow to pursue Electronics and Instrumentation.

This is a brief information I am able to provide. I hope it helps you in choosing the best college for yourself.
