Which among IIIT Jabalpur CSE, NIT Jamshedpur ECE, Kurukshetra ECE, NIT Raipur CSE, NIT Hamirpur ECE, NIT Jalandhar CSE colleges is best?

PK
Parneet Kaur Posted On : January 4th, 2023
Studied at IIIT Jabalpur

There are two options available to you. Choose between IIIT Jabalpur and NIT Raipur for CSE.

Why choose NIT Raipur?

  • As of now, the placement scenario is favorable.
  • Seniors would provide you with sound advice.
  • There is a greater emphasis on practical hands-on experience among peers.
  • The highest salary package offered to three students was 32.5 LPA, and the lowest salary package offered was 6 LPA.
  • You'd almost certainly get a job.

NIT Raipur, why not?

  • If you want to pursue higher education, NIT Raipur is a no-go.
  • There are few opportunities for research.
  • The brand name NIT does not help with the GRE.
  • Higher education is entirely theoretical. Peers get together and must put in extra effort to gain hands-on experience.
  • The syllabus is not focused on the current business world.


Why choose IIIT Jabalpur?

  • It would teach you CSE from the first year, unlike other NITs, which require you to study common subjects like chemical, civil, and mechanical engineering.
  • The placement scenario is nearly identical to that of NIT Raipur. However, it will improve as IIIT Jabalpur improves.
  • There will be far more research opportunities than at NIT Raipur.
  • The brand name may be beneficial for the GRE.
  • The IIIT experience is more enriching than the NIT experience.
  • IIIT Jabalpur has a competitive coding culture.

Why not IIIT Jamshedpur?

  • The students have stern words for IIIT Jabalpur.
  • The situation is similar at NIT Raipur but much more serious.
  • Jabalpur is not a pleasant city to visit.
  • It is in the lower echelons of IIITs that Extra-curricular activities are not spectacular.

Which is better: NIT Jalandhar or NIT Durgapur?

AS
Aarzoo Shah Posted On : January 4th, 2023
BTech in ECE from National Institute of Technology Durgapur (Graduated 2015)

NIT Durgapur is superior to NIT Jalandhar. NIT Durgapur is older than NITJ and thus has a larger alumni base. NIT Jalandhar was founded later to provide better infrastructure, but NITD is currently undergoing massive infrastructure modernization. Because it is in Bengal, and Bengal has produced well-known scientists and scholars, the environment for research is favorable. Mechanical engineering is one of the best fields here.

The CSIR CMERI (Central Mechanical Engineering Research Institute) is located directly across the street from the NITD main campus and has an MOU with the university. NITD has one of the best coding cultures in the world. The rankings of institutes can be found on international coding competition websites.

Which is better, NIT Jalandhar for instrumentation and control or NIT Jalandhar for civil?

IG
Ishaan Gupta Posted On : January 5th, 2023
B.Tech in Electronics and Communication Engineering, Dr. B. R. Ambedkar National Institute of Technology, Jalandhar ( NITJ ) (Graduated 2021)

NIT Jalandhar for Instrumentation and Control is unquestionably superior to NIT Jalandhar for Civil. There are several points that indicate the same thing. Nearly 90% to 100% of placements are available in the ICE branch. Students of the ICE branch have a chance to get into IT companies which will not happen in Civil.

Furthermore, the faculty at ICE is far superior to that of Civil. Ultimately, you should pursue your interests. Nevertheless, if you're considering Civil, you should be exceptionally enthusiastic about it.
