Which is better: NIT Trichy I.C.E. or S.S.N. EEE branch?
Instrumentation & Control Engineering and Electrical and Electronics Engineering are different branches. Although, both of these branches have some similarities. To choose between both of these is your choice.
Here are some of the facts about NIT Trichy and SSN.
- Faculty: SSN has amazing teaching faculty. They have quality teachers, some better than in NIT Trichy.
- Ranking: SSN is one of the premier institutes in Tamil Nadu and NIT Trichy is among the top-ranked NITs in the country.
- Extracurricular activities: SSN gives equal importance to academics and extra-curricular activities as well. They focus on overall development. In NIT Trichy, a lot of extracurricular activities are held. Fests are organized almost every week. They focus too much on extracurricular.
- Campus: SSN is lush green and has a scenic beauty. NIT Trichy has a rocky campus and does not have much greenery, although they do have a beautiful college avenue road.
- Placements: The placements of NIT Trichy are better than SSN, however, the Average CTC is almost the same. Here is the placement highlight of the year 2020.
| Particulars | NIT Trichy | SSN |
| Average CTC offered | INR 6 LPA | INR 6.1 LPA |
| Top recruiters | Volvo, Wipro, Yahoo, HDFC Bank, HP, HNG, HCL, Godrej, Ford | Amazon, Microsoft, Google, Uber, CITI, Dell, HSBC, Deloitte, Paypal |
NIT Trichy has a brand name higher than SSN. However, if you are planning to do higher education such as MS abroad, then regardless of the brand, you should choose SSN as it will help you to grow academically.
What should I prefer GEC Goa CSE or EEE in NIT Goa?
The preference should be firstly based on the branch and not on the colleges. Opt for the college where you get the branch of your choice. It's not college that matters but rather it's the branch. If you get the branch of your choice, you will be more likely to study that well and attain a successful future.
- If you are more into the programming languages, the technology and are passionate about learning the subjects associated with the CSE, then opt for GEC as there's nothing above the branch.
- If you have an interest in EEE, opt straight for the NIT Goa as it is an institute that will never disappoint in terms of placement, academics, faculties, or higher studies.
- NIT Goa is a brand in itself. But opt for it only if you are sure about the branch.
| Categories | CSE at GEC Goa | EEE at NIT Goa |
| Course Fee | 2.9 lakh | 5.38 lakh |
| Highest CTC | 24 LPA | 18-19 LPA |
| Average CTC | 12 LPA | 11 LPA |
| Recruiting Companies | Accenture, Wipro, TCS, HP, etc. | Infosys, Adobe, Capgemini, L&T, etc. |
If you think that you will take EEE in NIT Goa and then change the branch to CSE, then it's nearly impossible. There are high cut offs for changing the branch and it happens after following a certain set of rules that is not possible. So choose wisely as your career depends on it.
What is the difference between EEE, EnI and ECE at BITS, Pilani?
BITS Pilani does not offer an Electronics and Communication Engineering Program. When comes to ENL and EEE, there are some key points you should keep in mind as an applicant, which are listed below
Opportunities – In the current scenario, EEE opens up more opportunities than ENL. For Instance, the Indian Engineering Examination is only applicable to students from ECE and EEE
Campus – BITS Pilani is far better than BITS Hyderabad as they have well-equipped lab and infrastructure
Placement – The three batches can sit for the placement, but the companies give more weight to Communication and Digital Signal Processing
So, it is better to choose EEE than ENL at BITS Pilani.
How is the EEE branch at the UIET Chandigarh?
A good friend of mine has pursued EEE in UIET from Chandigarh. I reached out to him to catch up with some details and the latest facts.
If you are wanting to go for IT/CSE- UIET, Chandigarh is a great choice. But if you want to pursue EEE at UIET, then it is not a good choice. If we talk about the placement scenario over there, barely one or two core companies show up for that. A bunch of candidates ends up getting placed in the IT sector- which isn't worth it.
Here are the recent placement statistics for the EEE branch at UIET.
|
Average CTC |
6.5 LPA |
|
Highest CTC |
28 LPA |
Opting for any other engineering college would be a better choice if you want to go for EEE. But then, if you have decided to strictly adhere to UIET, perhaps check out other branches like Chemical Engineering, CSE as they come along with a fine set of faculty and better placement stats.
What is better: EEE at BITS Hyderabad or CS at VIT Vellore?
As a former EEE student at BITS Goa, I would not recommend taking up EEE at BITS Hyderabad if you want a career in the field of software engineering.
Here are the reasons why-
- The coding involved in EEE is not enough. You’ll code in MATLAB, which is rarely used in the IT sector. You’ll have to devote extra time to learning Python, Java, and other languages.
- CS involves much more than coding, all of which you’ll miss out on.
- Elective courses like OS, DSA, Comp Arch have very limited seats, and not everyone gets to pick them. Also, you’ll get these courses by your third or fourth year. By then you’ll either be under too much pressure to complete your main syllabus or it’ll be too late because the placement season will have begun.
- Top IT companies don’t open for non CS candidates, and even for the companies that do, you’ll have to compete with CS students.
- BITS will give you all the necessary exposure, quality education and opportunities. However, as a non IT student you’ll still find difficulty in getting an IT job via campus placements.
Based on all these points, I would recommend choosing CSE at VIT for better job prospects in the IT sector.

Which one is better: aerospace engineering in IIT Kanpur, aerospace engineering in IIT Madras, mechanical engineering IIT BHU, or ECE in IIT BHU?
First of all you need to lose this ideology that ECE has more scope and mechanical or aerospace engineering has less scope. Every field has top notch research going in it and provides dynamic and challenging work opportunities.
I also had the same dilemma and I chose Aerospace engineering at IIT Madras over other departments due to following reasons:-
- IIT Madras has state of the art facilities that focus on practical and industry oriented knowledge.
- The syllabus of Aerospace follows the latest curriculum and incorporates the latest industry trends such as Structures, Aerodynamics, Propulsion, Controls, and System Design.
- IIT Madras is in the heart of the city with a lot of entertainment hubs nearby.
- IIT Kanpur has a NIRF ranking of 4th with IIT Madras at 1st and IIT BHU at 15th.
- The Average salary for IIT BHU Mechanical and ECE is 12.5 LPA and 22.85 LPA.
- The Average package for IIT Madras Aerospace Engineering is 21 LPA.
- The Average package for IIT Kanpur Aerospace Engineering is 20 LPA.
How are placements for EEE at BIT Mesra, and does the big electrical MNC visit the campus?
The placements for EEE at BIT Mesra differ according to the year. However, they are not as good as they were a decade ago. Since the advent of GATE for the recruitment process of PSUs, they have stopped recruiting students from the campus.
A wide range of companies allows BIT Mesra EEE students to sit for the placement process-
- Coders are offered packages from Goldman Sachs, DE Shaw, Direct-I, etc.
- Freescale offers jobs to those who are good at core electronics.
- TATA Steel, Maruti, Mahindra, L&T, Trident, Mitsubishi, Orient, etc. offer positions to those who are good at core electrical.
- EXl, Mu-sigma, Stellium, etc. recruit students with good analytical skills.
Unless you are passionate about coding, as a EEE student, it is unlikely for you to be good at it, that is too good enough to beat a CSE/IT candidate. Also, EEE at BIT Mesra is negligent towards electronics. Therefore, in reality, only the last two categories are left for EEE students.
Thus, as a EEE student at BIT Mesra, you can get placed in the core electrical companies or companies like EXE, Stellium, etc. But if you wish to go for core electronics or coding, you will have to strengthen your knowledge and skills in these domains, all by yourself. The above-mentioned companies are the big MNCs that visit the campus with core electrical profiles.
Is Kongu Engineering College the best for EEE, and what are the placement companies?
Yes, Kongu Engineering College is best for EEE, and faculties are well stuffed to mentor throughout Engineering.
Most probably on the core side, you will be getting an opportunity for some good companies like Robert Bosch, Vedanta resources, Soliton solutions, and some small scale companies.
On the other hand, you will get opportunities from IT firms like Accenture, Zoho, Wipro, Infosys, Harman, Cognizant, etc. But keep in mind that if you are dreaming of joining a core company then you have to be very much strong in your EEE subjects both theoretically and practically.
One of my friends is an alumnus of Kongu Engineering College. In my friend’s batch, only 5 students got placed in core companies out of 100+ eligible students. Others including him got placed in the IT sector.
Is an ENI in BITS Goa good, and is it better than NIT Surathkal's EEE?
ENI stands for Electronics & Instrumentation Engineering while EEE is Electrical & Electronics Engineering. Having known some people studying at both these institutions, I can say that BITS Goa is better than NIT Surathkal.
- In terms of infrastructure, BITS Goa is obviously better than NIT Surathkal.
- Better companies visit BITS Goa campus than NIT Surathkal.
- The course curriculum and the quality of academic projects are also better at BITS Goa.
- The faculty at BITS Goa is also top-notch.
- In between the two branches, both are almost the same barring a few subjects (3 subjects to be precise).
- The course load, placements, and projects all are similar between the two.
- As these are core branches, getting placed in the core companies is going to be difficult at either of the institutes.
| Categories | ENI at BITS Goa | EEE at NIT Surathkal |
| Course Fee | 19.19 lakh | 5.40 lakh |
| Highest CTC | 25 LPA | 30 LPA |
| Average CTC | 12-13 LPA | 15 LPA |
| Recruiting Companies | Arcesium, Goldman Sachs, nVidia, Texas Instruments, etc. | Qualcomm, L&T, Microsoft, Samsung, etc. |
Finally, I would say that ENI at BITS Goa is very good and actually might be a little better than EEE at NIT Surathkal.
