Instrumentation & Control Engineering and Electrical and Electronics Engineering are different branches. Although, both of these branches have some similarities. To choose between both of these is your choice.
Here are some of the facts about NIT Trichy and SSN.
Particulars | NIT Trichy | SSN |
Average CTC offered | INR 6 LPA | INR 6.1 LPA |
Top recruiters | Volvo, Wipro, Yahoo, HDFC Bank, HP, HNG, HCL, Godrej, Ford | Amazon, Microsoft, Google, Uber, CITI, Dell, HSBC, Deloitte, Paypal |
NIT Trichy has a brand name higher than SSN. However, if you are planning to do higher education such as MS abroad, then regardless of the brand, you should choose SSN as it will help you to grow academically.
Although many are here pointing out the flaws in NIT Trichy that might make it impossible to become a top 3 technical institute in India, people fail to understand that an institution of national importance is expected to address these flaws at a minimum. NIT Trichy is an educational institute and not a company that would focus on making its customers happy.
However, if I were to point out the major reason behind its bleak chances of becoming the top 3, then it would be a lack of effective leadership. We aren’t sure if the fact that NIT Trichy would have passionate leaders in the future especially because the recruitment process is not transparent and lacks alumni involvement. Additionally, the directors and HODs have an absence of vision, leadership personality, and biases.
So, in order to emerge as a top engineering college, NIT Trichy needs to adopt an academic niche for itself, both in teaching and research. It should choose at least 3, 4, or 5 academic niches that make it stand out among other institutes. Another way to become the top is to eliminate the rest of the flab.
Ultimately, adopting a niche, carrying out it well, and letting every director follow it is the key. Only then will NIT Trichy be among the top 3 engineering colleges.
There are quite a few disciplines you can choose from when it comes to M.Tech programs at NIT Trichy. To put it straight, G1 is the first group with a few selected disciplines, G2 with another set, and so forth.
The only reason why the college has done this is to effectively manage the total seats available and divide them group-wise.
For example, a particular program having a 30 seat intake can possibly be distributed as G1 with 15 seats and G2 having 8 seats, and the remaining given to G3. This easily helps segregate and understand groups.
Keep in mind that the cutoff varies for each program. The only reason why these groups were created is to allot seats to each discipline.
Many people think that production engineering is mechanical minus thermodynamics. Which is not true. Production engineering is completely different from mechanical as the subjects are different.
My friend is currently in the 4th year of production engineering, NIT Trichy and according to him, it doesn’t really have a good prospect. Here’s why:
However, if you are planning for higher studies and research, then production is a very good choice. Being a production engineer opens up the manufacturing, industrial, and mechanical higher study options too. So, if placement after B.Tech. is your focus, please look elsewhere but if you are into higher studies then surely go for it. Choose wisely.
I hope you are not the kind who evaluates and compares institutes solely based on their placement scenario. Here are a few things to consider while comparing CSE at BITS Goa and CSE at NIT Trichy.
So, unless you have any financial constraints, BITS Goa is the best choice for you.
The most practical thing to do here would be to begin with taking a look at the syllabus of both these mentioned programs. You need to be absolutely clear about whether you wish to study for the next 4 years of your life and maybe also be able to develop a career in the same field. Interest and passion are mandatory to be able to sustain in any field of engineering for a very long period of time.
Now as far as my personal opinion goes, since two of my brothers have completed their engineering from IIIT Allahabad, I strongly believe that IIITA is a notch better than the others. Although the syllabus of CSE and IT is more or less the same, the overall academic environment of IIITA is better suited for coding when compared to the other NITs. There are a number of competitive programming websites available online where you will find more students of IIIT A placed at higher ranks than NITs.
There is a process of development, evolvement and growth as a programmer in IIITA for the students. It is known to all that India’s best coder Suryanarayana is also from IIIT A. Another reason why IIITA is a popular option for many aspiring coders is because unlike other colleges, it offers core subjects from the first years itself.
The placement scenario is also far accomplished of IIIT Allahabad.
My uncle is a successful architect and has the experience of employing many architects. He shared his experience stating that architecture students of both BIT Mesra and NIT Trichy are Unfortunately both the institutions are engineering colleges where architecture is considered equal because both are engineering colleges with Architecture as just one of the many specializations offered by the institute. None of these institutes are specialized in this field so the students study in a more engineering-oriented ambiance. They lack the ability to think independently of constraints imposed by engineering abilities available in India. I recommend you pursue Architecture from an institution that has Architecture as its flagship course like CEPT or SPA.
Nevertheless, comparing Architecture from BIT Mesra and NIT Trichy, I will say the former has a better crowd and opportunities than the latter. Both are somewhat at similar levels and it's hard to make a direct comparison. It's that students from BITS Mesra are better exposed so they make better Architects than NIT Trichy students.
NIT Surathkal has better placements for MTech. According to the recent placement highlights, the highest CTC and average CTC offered were INR 28 LPA and INR 12.25 LPA, respectively. Companies such as L&T Infotech, Standard Chartered Bank, ZS Associates, Capgemini, Tredence Analytics, Exl Service, etc. are the major recruiters that take part in NIT Surathkal placements.
One of my friends studied in the PSG Mechanical branch. In his opinion, both the colleges are well known and quite famous for Mechanical Engineering. Let me state some facts about them which might help you decide.
Categories | Mechanical Engineering at PSG | Mechanical Engineering at NIT Trichy |
Course Fee | 2 lakh | 5.65 lakh |
Highest CTC | 9 LPA | 15 LPA |
Average CTC | 5 LPA | 9 LPA |
Recruiting Companies | Caterpillar, Bajaj, Nissan, L&T, etc. | L&T, Reliance, GE, Tata, etc. |
