One of my friends pursued Civil Engineering from IET Lucknow. According to him, Civil engineering at IET Lucknow is really good. Let me share some facts I gathered from him, which might help you understand the question a bit better.

• When my friend joined the college, the word was that IET Lucknow has one amongst the best faculty when it comes to the Civil Engineering Department.
• The curriculum requires you to follow standard books which help in building fundamental concepts and are helpful for the preparation of various competitions.
• As far as the laboratories of the department are concerned, some laboratories are not up to date but rest assured, these are amongst the best you will get in any AKTU college.
• The laboratories which are not up to mark, still have most of the instruments in working condition.

The Civil Engineering course at IET Lucknow is good. It is suggested that you should go for it, as it will help you shape your career ahead. Civil Engineering might have a bit fewer placements than CSE or IT, but on a standard basis, it is quite a good institution.

As one of my cousins studied at IET Lucknow, I might be able to answer your question. According to him, IET Lucknow does not have a good placement record. Very few students actually get placed from the on-campus placement. 

• CSE and IT only have the best reputation and demand among students.
• Hardly one or two students get job opportunities by Adobe and HSBC, they tend to offer better packages.
• There are very few placement opportunities for Civil, Mechanical, and Electrical departments.
• There are a few core companies visiting the campus during placements.
• The college is mainly dependent on mass recruiters like TCS, who offer packages around 3.5 LPA.
• If you are enthusiastic about CAT or GATE exams, then only choose this college.
• The GATE results of Electronics and Instrumentation and Chemical are great.

Overall, the institute has an average reputation. The companies will hire you because of your practical knowledge and skills. If you are not skilled enough, securing a job offer will be difficult.

One of my friends is an alumnus of MSRIT and highly recommends it. You should opt for MSRIT because it is situated in Bangalore and will provide you a tremendous amount of opportunities. In addition to that, even if you slightly get scores lower than anticipated during the branch change, don’t be concerned as ECE is a popular branch as well and will undeniably permit you to sit for over 95% of top firms that visit the campus with CSE offers.

Here is the latest 2020 placement report of both institutes.

You should however research well about IET Lucknow. But, since it is located in Uttar Pradesh, the opportunities will not be as broad as it is in MSRIT, Bangalore.

It should be remembered that there is no substitute for hard work. Gaining admission into state engineering colleges through UPSEE entrance exams has its advantages which makes it easier to perform well in them.

• Most of the questions in the UPSEE entrance exams would be easier to solve for you because they are of the level of classes 11 and 12.
• They are not tricky and very easy to answer.
• There is no negative marking. Even if you are not sure if you answered the question correctly, you will not end up losing marks.
• The question papers may be lengthy, though.
• You can prepare yourself for the exams by arranging MCQs of the previous years and practicing them within a certain time limit.
• As far as the admission to IET Lucknow goes, you can get it at a rank of lower than 1000 after the subsequent sessions of counseling.

The UPSEE entrance exams contain 150 questions and there is a time limit of 3 hours. You must be in touch with your calculations and concept implementation and are accurate in both. A score of 440 or more will give you good chance of getting admitted.

My brother recently graduated from IET Lucknow. According to him, there are many famous alumni of IET. 

One of the most prominent alumni of IET Lucknow is Srijan Pal Singh. He is from Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh, and pursued Electrical Engineering from IET Lucknow, and from IIM he finished his management degree. Currently, he is one of the famous public speakers, an entrepreneur, and an Indian author. Furthermore, he had worked with our former president late A.P.J Abdul Kalam. He used to handle Kalam’s social media. 

• Besides this, Srijan has worked with Boston Consulting Group as a management consultant. He made his contribution in improving the government and transparency in the Public Distribution System, it was about the Naxal affected areas in Orissa. Thus, he worked with the World Food Program. 
• In Nov 2011- 2012, he worked with Dr Kalam which was basically a mission which was called ‘What can I give Mission’. 
• There have been a lot of books in which he was co-author with Dr. Kalam. One of his books in which he was a co-author reached 3 Billion people. The book was about sustainable developments and the solution for rural areas in the world. 

Srijan was with Kalam when Kalam went to IIM Shillong. Before his death, Srijan was the co-author of an autobiography of Dr. Kalam.

IET Lucknow, KNIT Sultanpur, and MMM Gorakhpur are the engineering institutes in Uttar Pradesh. The admission of MMM is on MET/ JEE Mains basis, whereas the other two are on the cut-off of UPSEE. According to some of the reviews online, I would suggest you go for IET Lucknow.

• IET Lucknow is the best choice, followed by MMM Gorakhpur. It provides excellent exposure to the students. 
• There are various activities taking place on campus apart from academics.
• The institute is the top-ranked college of UPTU.
• IET and MMM have a long way to go. Therefore, both the institutes do not have an alumni network.
• The top recruiters of IET Lucknow are TCS, Amazon, Code Nation, HCL, Yamaha, Global Logic, New Gen, and more.
• It provides basic facilities like Wi-Fi, canteen, hostels, library, laboratories, sports and others. IET is well-equipped.

The fee and placement details are below.

Overall, IET and MMM are the best institutes. The choice between the two depends upon your own interest and the return on investment. KNIT Sultanpur is a namesake Government college. It is not good compared to the others.

Be more specific about your rank as it would help define the scenario better. But, in any case, you should know the various advantages of IET Lucknow over Galgotias. Some of them are as follows:

1. The peer group at IET Lucknow is extremely better and they choose to be focused on every cause whatsoever.
2. It is a government-run institute, which gives it an upper hand.
3. There is the provision of a scholarship for complete waiver on the tuition fees for several backward students in the class. You might also secure your B.Tech degree completely free. Besides, it comes with amazing ROI.
4. The faculty in every department is better than most other institutes around. Both permanent and visiting, in Mechanical engineering, Civil Engineering, and the CSE department are one of a kind.
5. You will also have access to several coaching centers within a 2 KM radius, which is highly beneficial. Thus, you can prepare with liberty for as many exams as you want to take, like CAT, GATE, UPSC, GRE, and others.
6. The placement drive has always been good. The visiting companies are Amazon, Adobe, TCS, Wipro, Sigma, LAVA international, Honda Cars, Analytics Quotient, Snapdeal, BSNL, Merchant Navy, Sterlite, Tata Chemicals, and more.

Other than the advantages, here are some of its demerits,

1. The infrastructure of IET Lucknow is somewhat poor, as is found in many other government institutes.
2. The administration can sometimes be extremely indifferent towards the requirements students usually have.
3. The quality of pedagogy is rapidly deteriorating in most classes.

You can enroll at IET Lucknow only if you wish to pursue Mechanical Engineering, CSE, or Civil Engineering. In contrast, if you want to ace other important competitive exams, then you can research more about other institutes as well.

IET Lucknow has a decent reputation in the industry. Therefore, the aggregate placement of the institute is satisfactory. In general, the campus depends upon the students, teachers, and the college.

The ECE branch has average placement. But if you are expecting jobs in core companies then you will be disappointed. There are very few core job offers in the placement drive. However, you will get good opportunities in CSE or IT core companies. So, it’s better to work on your computer language (c++, Java) skills. 

The companies that come for the campus are LT, Aditya Birla Group, NTPC, Power Corporation Limited, BHEL, RDSO, DRDO, DLW, RDSO, BEL, BHEL, BARC, IOCL, BSNL, and more. The median CTC offered in the campus drive is 5 LPA. If you work hard, you’ll successfully get placed.

HBTI Kanpur and IET Lucknow offer admission through a state-level entrance exam known as UPSEE. Some sections of the entrance exam have direct questions referred from the NCERT books. Check the following points for subject-wise preparation:

• Chemistry: NCERT books are more than enough as it has every little detail explained very well. Just going through it well enough will be more than enough in the exam. None of the questions in this section are outside of the NCERT textbook.
• Physics: For the theory part, NCERT will be enough however, for the numerical, HC Verma will be a good addition along with the NCERT syllabus. The papers given in the back of the NCERT will give you an idea about the numerical.
• Maths: The NCERT textbook and the practice book will be enough for the regular chapters except for the calculus part. You can also refer to other well-known books like S.L Loni will be useful. 

If your basics are clear and you have done enough practice for the exam, then you can easily score a decent rank in UPSEE. NCERT books will definitely help you cover all the topics in a simplified way and crack the exam. 

CSE is considered a better option than ECE in today’s current scenario and has much better scope and field of work. The scope for CSE broadens with each passing day and with every new invention in the fields of technology and the IT sector. Although ECE is one of the core branches of IET Lucknow still CSE has more demand compared to it.

Following are some drawbacks of the ECE branch at IET Lucknow over CSE:

• You need a higher percentage of attendance to become eligible for exams. Less attendance leads to deduction of marks.
• The syllabus is huge for every semester
• The professors are very strict with the evaluation process and do not give marks easily
• There are a lot of lab practicals and assignments to complete in a very short period of time.

CSE has a better environment than ECE with no strict attendance regulation. The professors in the CSE department are friendly. The placement of the CSE branch is far better than any other branch in IET Lucknow.
