A few cousins of mine have completed their B.Tech from VIT Vellore with different branches. With them being successfully placed, their experience says you must choose VIT among both of these. Here’s why:
Categories |
Mechanical at VIT Vellore |
Mechanical at PEC Chandigarh |
Course Fee |
7.83 lakhs |
6.39 lakhs |
Placement Percentage |
80-90% |
70% |
Highest CTC |
9-12 LPA |
15 LPA |
Average CTC |
5-6 LPA |
6.5 LPA |
Recruiting Companies |
Accenture, Goldman Sachs, Wipro, Infosys, etc. |
JP Morgan, MySQL, HPCL, Tata, etc. |
In the end, it is best recommended to choose VIT Vellore for Mechanical engineering as it offers better exposure and opportunities. However, PEC is also a good college and its fee structure is quite nominal as compared to VIT. In case of budget constraints, go for PEC.
Product engineering is one of the oldest departments at NIT Jalandhar. Here is a brief outline of the Production Engineering course at the institute.
Total Fee |
6.76 lakhs |
Companies Visited |
Samsung, ZS, Optum, etc. |
Average CTC |
8 lakhs |
Highest Package |
43 lakhs |
The faculty of this department is really cooperative, they will not pressurize you during their B.Tech. It is your responsibility to take the initiative and explore the opportunities because you will not be spoon-fed in college. But you can always approach the faculty regarding any problem.
If we talk about the placement scenario, there are a good number of companies that come to the campus and you can only get placed if you study hard. The campus scenario for the previous years has not been good but it has still ranked among the best campus placements. You can also try and study some advanced courses in classes that will help you to improve your CV.
Chemical Engineering at Haldia Institute of Technology used to be one of the best courses at the institute. But with years the condition of this branch has gotten worse. The old faculty members have retired. The current faculty base is not that great.
I have a few friends from the institute and according to them, if you are keen on exploring the field of chemistry then Haldia would not be one of your best choice institutes. But the placements here are decent. In the 2020 placements, the highest and average CTC offered was 3.5 LPA and 24 LPA.
In this case, Electrical Engineering at IIT Roorkee would be a better option. The only exception being that you have an inclination towards studying CSE.
IIT Roorkee enjoys a strong national and international reputation. While IIT Bhubaneswar is growing and gaining recognition, it can’t yet match the established reputation of IIT Roorkee. The strong alumni network of IIT Roorkee provides significant advantages in terms of mentorship, networking and job opportunities. Additionally, Electrical Engineering provides a solid foundation for higher studies and research.
Here are the 2023 placement statistics of Electrical Engineering at IIT Roorkee:
Branch | Highest Package | Average Package | Median Package |
---|---|---|---|
EE | INR 44.62 LPA | INR 19.05 LPA | INR 15 LPA |
CSE is a highly known branch with numerous opportunities in the tech industry, and placements for CSE are generally strong. But the newer IITs do not attract as many top-tier companies for placements as old IITs like IIT Roorkee.
In conclusion, I would suggest you choose Electrical Engineering at IITR over CSE at IIT BBSR.
It depends on your future goals and interests. If you want to pursue a job afterward then CSE will be the best branch for you. It will give you better opportunities than any other branch. You can choose Mechanical if you are interested in the automobile sector. If you are interested in robotics then the ECE branch would be a better option for you.
The CSE branch is good at Amrita University because the college has various types of technical groups like FOSS. This group is dedicated to creating open-source projects and completing various technical projects like Google's summer code. There are a large number of selects for this kind of project as well. If you are interested in security systems then this college has got the number 1 CTF team. If you are interested in programming then there is a dedicated programming group as well. There are a large number of competitions held in these groups. These groups will strengthen your core skills. The faculties of the CSE branch are also quite experienced and cooperative.
If your JEE Mains didn't go well but you have a good rank in UPTU entrance exam, KIET Ghaziabad could be a good option for you. Here are some things to consider:
However, please note that some people in Delhi NCR may have bad habits, especially those from a strong financial background. So, you need to choose the best opportunities for yourself while enjoying life and getting successful.
You didn’t make a mistake as long as you are pursuing the branch that you are interested in. IIIT Allahabad is surely a good choice. The tag of IIT offers certain advantages but Metallurgy as a branch has less scope as far as placements are concerned. According to 2019 placement statistics, there was a 90% placement from Metallurgy at IIT Bhubaneswar.
Information technology offers more job roles and scope. According to last year’s placement statistics of IIIT Allahabad, there were a total of 95% placements from this institute with an average package of Rs.15.5 lakhs. The highest package is Rs.39 lakhs. More than 120 recruiters came for campus placement from different sectors ranging from software to healthcare.
Overall, if information technology is the path that you wanted to pursue as a career, then definitely you made the right choice.
This totally depends on your choices and interests. As the college administration is unknown towards your logical mind in doing computer programming all day or managing a manufacturing unit.
If you choose Mechanical Engineering as a branch, it is far better than Computers, where the second one is more subjective than the first one. For this reason, you can easily become an expert in computer programming, and it is not so easy to become a mechanical engineering expert.

But if you are interested in mechanical, or want to appear in IES after completing the BTech degree, then studying mechanical from MNNIT will be the best decision for you.
Besides, if you want to take Computer Science to be settled in top MNCs, studying CSE in PEC will be the best decision for you, rather than studying it in NIT K.
NIT Calicut doesn’t have any dress code. Students are allowed to attend classes in casuals. But as a student of NIT Calicut, you need to follow proper decorum. Although there are no recommended rules regarding dress codes, students are expected to dress in a decent manner.
One of my seniors was a student of IIIT Vadodara and he praised how academics were carried out in the institute. The faculty in the institute is highly qualified and has a lot of experience in the field they are teaching. They have PhDs from premier universities. IIIT Vadodara grants admission to applicants based on their applications.
IIIT Vadodara is popular because of its CSE and IT programs. In addition to that, the institute also offers courses in management and ones related to business which also attracts its fair share of applicants. However, if you want to study hardware and CS in theory, you will probably be disappointed.
The institute is currently in operation from the GEC campus which is Gandhinagar, Gujarat. IIIT Vadodara is very popular for its coding culture and has a reputation for recruiting companies like ICICI Bank, Mathworks, and Amazon.
