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.

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.

IET Lucknow is a government college and the students there have cracked some difficult competitive exams and bagged seats through good ranks. This also gives you the added assurance that the students you will come across are very capable.

• Students often do not end up cracking the JEE Advanced exams, but there are a lot who do end up cracking the exam.
• This creates an environment of learning at IET Lucknow and serves as a way in which the students engage in their overall improvement.

• In terms of the placements, the students pursuing CS, IT, or EC will get placed right from the campus.

After looking at these points, it is suggested that you go for IET Lucknow rather than ABES. But ultimately you decide to choose. So choose wisely as this may shape your future.

You have a very decent rank in the girls' category but still, this rank is not so good for you to get into ECE in IET Lucknow.

You might get a seat in other branches like Civil Engineering or Electronics and Instrumentation Engineering though the chances are few.

However, do not worry you will get a good college with a good branch.

You must have to go for the fifth round of counseling to change your branch. But if you are hard-working then you can easily change the branch by maintaining an S.G.P.A of 8.5 approximately.

If you are unable to do so, you will regert it during the placements as even the most well-known NITs do not provide decent packages for students pursuing Chemical Engineering. Another option you have is only the GATE exam that is one of the most preferred gateways by students for getting admission.

The following data can be obtained for the Chemical Engineering branch in IET Lucknow as per the recent data:

IET is the known as Institute for ESE and GATE aspirants. Join some coaching for your GATE and work hard to convert all your dreams into reality by getting the desired branch in the college preferred by you.

As my brother is a student of IET Lucknow, I will be sharing his experience as he recently completed his first year there. The changes which my brother and many of his batch mates want to see at IET Lucknow include:

Administration 

• Like other government institutes in Uttar Pradesh, the administration of the institute is not managed properly and is filled with corruption at extreme levels. 
• This can be observed after seeing the infrastructure and the facilities which are not well-maintained. 
• There are no specific deadlines for important tasks and activities. 
• Every person just does anything whenever they like.

Fests 

• The branch fests, occurring in the first month of the academic year, make first-year students become acquainted with the college. 
• These fests at IET dilute the other annual college fests, in which other colleges also participate. 
• This indicates a lack of interest among students due to the similar branch fests and thus compromising the reputation of the college.

Politics

• It is bearable up to the administrative level, but it should not be overlooked at the student level. 
• Students form groups to take credit for everything owing to their selfish nature and to maintain their so-called reputation in the institute. While they should be working together for the improvement of the institute.
• Instead of decorating the faculty housings at the institute, the Sportsfield, Canteen, SAC, and Auditoriums of IET should be maintained regularly.

These are the major changes which the students wish to see in the institute. Many others can only be observed once you get enrolled at the institute.

The answer for this question depends on what your preferences are and what your goals are for the future.

• If your goal is to get into PSUs, you will have to work hard in ME and if you want to work in the private sector then it would be a good idea if you prepare for something else.
• You can also opt for pursuing higher studies after completion of your program with the branch you have chosen for yourself.
• Computer Science (CS) is the branch that is the most popular among the students.
• The placements and packages offered to the students of CS are higher than those of the students of the other branches.
• Sometimes even the people who have graduated in Civil, Mechanical, or Electrical Engineering work hard to get selected in IT companies.
• For getting recruited by an IT company, you need to have some knowledge about data structures, algorithms, and have a basic understanding of the language of programming.

However, the branches of Civil, Mechanical, and Electrical Engineering can often lead to recruitment in PSUs with packages going up to INR 30-40 LPA.

If you are looking for a coding culture that you expect from colleges like IIIT Allahabad, then sorry it is non-existent here. Most of the students who do coding on their own keep their knowledge to themselves and do not share it with anyone else like some other colleges.

You will get guidance from some very good teachers but they only have theoretical knowledge. Unfortunately, most of the professors are totally ignorant about the needs of a good coding culture. They will give you questions that you can easily copy from the internet and they do not care at all.

Speaking of the internet it is available 24X7. The labs are there just for the sake of it and are not functional. If you are really passionate about coding then it is better to start learning yourself. There are plenty of online resources which you can access thanks to the free and excellent internet.

Currently, there is no coding culture here at IET Lucknow. Maybe you could bring in some actual changes in the mindset of the students.

Institute of Engineering and Technology (IET) Lucknow is an autonomous constituent college of Dr. A.P.J Abdul Kalam Technical University (AKTU). Though it lacks quality placements, it more than makes up for the lack of it by providing a very good environment for competitive exams after graduation.

Students here excel in various competitive exams for higher education and government jobs such as CAT, GATE, Bank PO and Clerical, SSC, CDS, etc. There are various institutes nearby which you can join for preparation while still attending your college. Also, the attendance is very lenient, and academic pressure is minimal.

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.
