Damini Sharma Posted On : October 23rd, 2020
Former Intern at Samsung Research Institute Bangalore (2017)

National Institute of Technology, Suratkhal (NIT Suratkhal), offers a four-year bachelor's degree in Electronics and Communication. With the 123 seat markup, the competition can get pretty competitive, as it yields towards high paying placement packages from a great program. 

VJTI, Mumbai also offers a similar 4-year program in computer engineering, with students getting placement offers from the company's consolidated campus drive. 

Students confused amongst the degrees can judge both by the lens of public demand and professional relevance.

Which is better, IIT Bhubaneswar for ECE, BITS Pilani Hyderabad campus for CSE or NIT Surthkal for ECE?

SG
Subir Ghosh Posted On : August 13th, 2020
M.E from Birla Institute of Technology and Science Pilani (2017)

BITS is the better choice among all as CSE has more scope than ECE. And NIT Surathkal is an old institute with a better placement record than IIT Bhubaneswar. 

Since BITS Hyderabad is the newest among all other campuses and it certainly is a little behind in terms of faculty, infrastructure, etc. But when compared on a national level it is on par with any other institute. It provides the students with a prime location to look for internships and also provides an edge to them if they are opting for off-campus placements. Although the institute provides students with decent opportunities for on-campus placements also. Around 200 companies visit the campus each year and around 94% of the student secured a job through campus placements with an average package of around 5-6 lakhs per annum and the highest package offered was as high as 14 lakhs per annum.

NIT Surathkal is among the top NITs of this country. The placements of students of this branch are also good although NIT Trichy and Warangal have better placement records. The average placement package offered at this NIT is around 14.15 LPA and 100% placement was observed for B.Tech batches in last year’s placement drive.

ECE is one of the new branches that started at IIT Bhubaneswar starting from 2016. Hence the first batch of students will graduate in 2020. In 2019, the average CTC offered in this IIT was 11.44 LPA. Many core companies, software companies, PSU’s, etc. hire electrical engineers from IIT Bhubaneswar hence one can assume the same trend to be followed for electronics and communication engineering also but the result is yet to be seen.

Is it good to take ISM Dhanbad, M.Tech (mechanical) if I am getting in NIT Surathkal M.Tech (mechanical)? Which is better in terms of placements? Does ISM Dhanbad have the placements for M.Tech (ME)?

SG
Sharmila Ganguli Posted On : October 31st, 2020
B.Tech from Indian Institute of Technology, Dhanbad (Graduated 2018)

M.Tech Mechanical is a preferred stream but its success is directly proportional to the level of placements offered by colleges in comparison to the fees or investment made. The number of students enrolled is less compared to B.Tech making it a less lucrative option for campus placements.

The detailed analysis is as follows.

Eligibility:

  • The basic criterion stands at graduation with a minimum score of 50%.

  • The common examination accepted is GATE.

Fees:

  • NIT Surathkal has a fee structure of Rs. 1.85 Lakhs

  • ISM Dhanbad offers the course is Rs. 1.05 Lakhs.

ISM has fewer fees as compared to NIT Surathkal.

Placement Details:

The prime-most details to be focused upon are the average and highest placement scenario of both the colleges in general.

College

Placement

NIT Surathkal

Average-Rs.11.90 LPA, Highest-Rs. 18.75 LPA

ISM Dhanbad

Highest-Rs. 12.50 LPA

  • 79% placements in NIT Surathkal M.Tech as opposed to 50% in ISM.

  • Major Recruiters are Teradata, Cisco, Dell EMC, Riverbed Technology, and Huawei Technologies.

  • ISM M.Tech is not preferable for mechanical, it’s a sure shot option in case of CSE or Mineral engineering.

  • The only reason to prefer ISM is the IIT factor attached to it which makes it more appealing in terms of faculty and culture.

The choice can be made both on the basis of placements and college ranking with respect to the course offered. The packages offered in the Mechanical stream in NIT Surathkal are quite good as compared to those in ISM Dhanbad. NIT Surathkal also holds a reputation in the institutional list with respect to its 7th position in the list of NIT.

Which college is better for an MTech, VLSI, NIT Surathkal or IIIT Bangalore?

AB
Aditi Banerjee Posted On : October 19th, 2023
Lives in Bangalore

Based on my research, here is some relevant information to assist you-

IIIT Bangalore offers much better infrastructure, research facilities, and placement opportunities as compared to NIT Surathkal. However, the fee structure at IIIT Bangalore is also on the higher side. Most of the top brands visit both these campuses for placements. 

As of June 2023, the highest CTC for M.Tech ECE stood at 38 LPA, at IIIT Bangalore. The average CTC stood at 26.2 LPA, and the median CTC stood at 22.5 LPA. 

Though both are top colleges, I would recommend you choose IIIT Bangalore for M.Tech ECE. Especially, if the fee is not an issue for you.
