One of my acquaintances has a better opinion on the same. He says that if you opt to take admission at IIIT Allahabad, then you are more likely to have better opportunities in the IT field.

• Mostly, the students of ECE are thoroughly engaged in coding and are known to study ECE because of reasons that center around only graduating.
• While, on the flip side, in VNIT Nagpur, the students pursue ECE because they are interested in it.
• However, the placements of IT field are more likely to surpass the number of placements seen in ECE fields. This is because the core hardware companies relatively do not share the same amount of trust with the freshers.
• If you want to obtain a better salary package after graduating from a B.Tech course, then going for IIIT, Allahabad can be a superior option.
• While, if you relevantly want to pursue your career in most of the core ECE companies, then it is suggested that you opt for VNIT, Nagpur.

Yet, here is a brief data about the overall placement, course fees and more about both the institutes,

However, in most cases, 10-15% of students choose ECE companies, but ever since software companies have become high-paying, several students tend to rather opt for an IT job profile.

You can opt to enroll in BITS, Goa for Chemical Engineering only if you are positive to pursue your career in that field, or if you are simultaneously planning for any in-depth research activities in chemical engineering-related fields in the upcoming years.

• It is also to be remembered that the campus placements for students in the chemical department of BITS, Goa is not the best.
• Unfortunately, very few core companies visit the campus for placement offers.
• Now, there are students who also tend to get placed at several IT companies which are nonetheless not very simple or easy-going as well.
• While, on the other hand, some get placed in various consultancy companies which allegedly do not take your degree into any specific consideration.

However, the older IIITs are comparatively better in terms of providing the best of everything, than it is in the newer ones. But, if you are personally considering the branch, then CSE has always been ahead of the list in terms of placement opportunities as opposed to Chemical.

Why do you want to opt for engineering? Is it because you enjoy Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics? If that’s the reason, then there are two possibilities for you.

Joining IIIT Sri City for CSE-

• You can sharpen your coding skills and work better on Computer Science learning more about ethical hacking, cybersecurity, etc. This is how CSE would prove to be fruitful to you.
• But if we perceive the other side of the situation, if you do not hold any interest here, you might find it hard to cope with and eventually lose interest. Since IIIT Sri City is a new college, it will not be able to impart the essential communication/soft skills to you.

Joining Chemical Engineering at MANIT Bhopal-

• Apart from developing a great interest in Chemical Engineering, you have the opportunities to either go for higher education via GRE or ensure placement via GATE.
• But again, comparing the other side of the situation, if Chemical Engineering does not spark your interest, you can go for other domains like Management. MANIT offers all the adequate communication/soft skills that would be essential for that.

If you have no particular inclination, then choosing CSE may be better. As it has two domains, i.e. coding and non-coding. Plus, the internet is full of great ebooks and tutorials to teach you.

I have a few friends at CGC and I heard good things about the institute from them. It is well-known for offering good placements and a decent academic environment.

• CGC conducts prior pre-placement training, where you will be taught how to handle interviews for the recruiting companies.
• Companies that approach the institutes, come along with their own personal criteria. Many companies set the required score range of 60%, 70% or even 80%.
• Major recruiters at the placement drive are Amazon, Wipro, Microsoft, Cognizant, HCL, Deloitte, IBM, Maruti, Hyundai, etc. The highest CTC offered to the students according to the recent placement statistics is 35 LPA.
• If you are want to secure a placement offer, try to master at least one computer language program. The competition gets intense when the number of students is 250+.

The institute conducts extra classes. These classes are about HR, group discussions, etc. Here, you will be given placement papers targeting certain companies by the teachers. At the weekend, you will be handed over modules and questions that concern that specific company.

Acharya Institute of Technology is a good institute, with an excellent campus and good facilities. But, the department of Aeronautical Engineering does not live up to the expectation. There are several disadvantages of the Aeronautical Engineering department in the institute, and some of them are listed below.

The table below gives a brief overview of the Aeronautical Engineering department of the institute.

Teaching: 

The professors in Aeronautical Engineering have no proper way of teaching, with some faculties having no proper knowledge about the relevant subjects in Aeronautical Engineering.

Laboratories:

There is no proper lab for the department. Students of Aeronautical Engineering perform all their experiments and work in the labs of two other departments if they are not found occupied.

Library:

There is no departmental library. Students need to gather their own study materials for themselves.

If you are serious about studying the subject don’t choose Acharya Institute of Technology for Aeronautical Engineering.

You should go with IIITs in any case as they are the better choice. You will be studying with some of the top students in the country who have managed to secure a rank under 35000. You will be exposed to a great study atmosphere and competition.

You cannot get this sort of exposure in local private colleges (with some exceptions) where several students get admission through management quota. Most of them are also from rich and well-to-do families who are just looking to secure a degree.

To be honest, you cannot compare an institute of national importance with a state-level private college. You should not underestimate the academics of colleges due to the absence of a permanent campus or infrastructure.

A lot of the students from these colleges have a really good caliber and the potential to gain international recognition without the support of the college administration.

To secure a seat in the CS department at NIT Surathkal you will need a minimum score of around 235 in JEE Main. If you belong to some category then, you will need to score 180 or above to get a seat in CS.

In terms of rank, you should be safe if you have a rank of around 2500-3000. Here is the required cutoff for CS at NIT K in recent years.

Hope this gives you some idea of what to expect.

IEM Kolkata and NIT Sikkim are some of the most reputed engineering colleges in India. However, it is difficult to choose between the two as the branches you have mentioned are different. To make a more precise decision, first, decide which branch you want to opt for.

Here is a brief overview of the courses.

• If you want to go for CSE, choose IEM Kolkata. They have the best curriculum for this. Also, they have highly educated professors and better placements.
• If you want to pursue EEE, go for NIT Sikkim. Also, if your dream is to get a government job or PSU job after your graduation then you must opt for NIT Sikkim, being a government college, it will always provide you a preference over other privates colleges.

In the end, it all comes down to the branch you have an interest in. Choose wisely between these two options.
