Did Kumar Vishwas join MNNIT Allahabad and later proceed to drop out?

Consequently, he left engineering to study literature and build a career in the field of poetry. He says that his family was not happy with his decision. They felt he wouldn't make a bright career out of poetry. But Kumar Vishwas was determined to follow his heart. Instead of doing something he wasn’t interested in, he chose to pursue his dreams, even if he would earn only enough for his survival.
His journey is quite inspirational. Today he is one of the well known personalities of India, and earns handsomely for his performances.

How good is the ECE department of MNNIT Allahabad in terms of faculty, infrastructure, exposure and placements?
As a former ECE student at MNNIT Allahabad, I can say that this is one of the best departments of our college. MNNIT is one of the best choices for an ECE, among all the NITs.
Here are some details about the department-
- Faculty- As someone freshly out of school, this will come as a shock to you. Not just MNNIT, rather the faculty of all major Indian colleges is not up to the mark. But there are always some dedicated teachers among the lot, it is your job to find them and learn from them.
The ECE faculty is decent. Some teachers are really bad at teaching, but there is none who lacks knowledge. The department has some excellent researchers and administrators.
- Infrastructure- The college infrastructure is not that good, it is in fact a bit disappointing. Regardless, the labs and academic block are well laid-out. Moreover, the ECE classrooms and labs are much better in comparison.
- Exposure- The department makes every effort to provide its students with the best opportunities, but you need to take the first step and show genuine interest. The department will provide you the launchpad, but the effort has to come from your side.
- Placements- This college is at par with the top engineering colleges of India in terms of ECE placements. The placement figures have been promising throughout. This is because of a highly sincere placement cell. Moreover, ECE students are eligible for jobs in almost all categories including IT, Software, Core and Consultancy.
The ECE department of MNNIT offers better grades, fewer classes, and comparatively lenient teachers. You’ll surely face ups and downs at the department, but in the end, it will all be worth it.

What is to be done in order to slide your branch from production engineering in MNNIT Allahabad?
As a former B.Tech student at MNNIT Allahabad, here is my advice on this matter-
To switch to some other branch from Production Engineering, you need to study hard during your first year. You don’t need to study as much as you did while preparing for your JEE, but you’ll have to work harder than your peers. It also depends on the number of vacant seats in the branch you wish to switch to. Many times, CS witnesses zero vacancies for branch sliding.
But do not spend all your time worrying about branch sliding. Enjoy your stay at the fresher hostels, as they are the best ones. Participate in tech events like ‘Avishkar’ and make good use of the 24*7 wifi connectivity.
Study for at least 4-5 hours a day, and score 8.5+ CGPA during first year to at least have fair chances at branch sliding.
