Having talked to people at NIT Raipur and HBTU Kanpur, I have gathered reasons why students should opt for NIT Raipur instead of HBTU Kanpur for B.Tech. 

These are described below - 

  • NIT has a brand value as it has a renowned name and fame, which will benefit you in many ways.
  • There is a more competitive environment in NIT if compared to HTBU.
  • There are more technical, cultural, and sports events in NIT than HTBU which helps the student to develop their personality and intelligence.
  • NIT is a government-funded college so more funds are given to NITs, which help them to provide more facilities to the students like Advance labs and classes.
  • The alumni reach of NIT is more than HBTU.
  • The average placement of NIT Raipur is better than the HBTU. 
  • Students can avail 100% fee waiver if the students have low family income.

The table shows a brief overview of the institutions:

Particulars

NIT Raipur

HBTU Kanpur

Median Salary

Rs. 9.5 lakhs

Rs. 7.18 lakhs

Highest Salary

Rs. 33 lakhs

Rs. 60 lakhs

Entrance Criteria

Overall, NIT Raipur is the potential choice for B.Tech rather than HBTU Kanpur. Even students of HBTU also prefer NIT Raipur over their college.

Which is better, IT at NIT Raipur or ECE at IIITDM Kanchipuram?

PS
Parvathi Subramaniam Posted On : July 7th, 2021
B.Tech Electronics and Telecommunication Engineering, National Institute of Technology, Raipur (2019)

One of my friends from high school used to be a student of IIITDM Kanchipuram and in his opinion, ECE at that institute has a far better system of progressing with the course than the NIT system.

IIITDM Kanchipuram also boasts of having a superior faculty. IT has also been derived from the ECE. Both hardware and software are involved in ECE. So, if you are more inclined towards Physics and Maths, go for ECE.

Categories IT at NIT Raipur ECE at IIITDM Kanchipuram
Course Fee 5.40 lakh 6.55 lakh
Highest CTC 16 LPA 20 LPA
Average CTC 8 LPA 12 LPA
Recruiting Companies Barclays, Adobe, Oracle, HCL, etc. Wipro, UBM, TCS, Value Service, etc.

Thus it is suggested that you go for ECE at IIITDM Kanchipuram than IT at NIT Raipur. ECE also has better scope and opportunities than IT. Graduating with ECE you can sit for placements of both core sectors and corporate sectors.

Is there any sliding option in NIT Raipur for branch changing?

NB
Nishank Basu Posted On : July 13th, 2021
B.Tech Information Technology & Computer Science, National Institutes of Technology (2020)

Yes, you can change the branch option in the second year of the college as in the first year all the branches have similar kinds of the syllabus.

To change the branch, you need to perform really well in the semester exams. Like if you want CS or mechanical branch then your CGPA should be more than 9.7. Two to four seats of every branch remain vacant and used for sliding.

Fill the application form along with the copies of relevant documents and submit them before the deadline. You are also supposed to consult your parents or guardian before changing the branch.

You will be given 10 preferences of your choices to change the branch. There is no option for the students to withdraw their branch changing option. Whatever branch will be allocated to you will have to take that.

What was this year's average package offered in NIT Raipur for the mechanical and electrical branch?

CM
Chandni Mitra Posted On : July 16th, 2021
B.Tech Mechanical Engineering, National Institute of Technology, Raipur (2017)

I have a friend who is an alumnus of NIT Raipur. According to him, you should not emphasize much on the placement statistics. As placement for a particular academic year depends a lot on that year’s economic condition in the industry.

During his final year, around 20 companies visited the campus for the Mechanical branch, out of which only 7-8 were core companies. This was because of demonetization that year.

The recent placement statistics of NIT Raipur are as follows.

Highest CTC 16 LPA
Average CTC INR 9.5 LPA.
Number of mechanical students placed 78 out of 89 students.
Major recruiters Vedanta, Reliance, L&T, etc.

It’s better if you concentrate on your studies and focus on getting good CPI in all your semesters. If you have the required knowledge and skills then you might get good placements in companies like TATA and Maruti.
