Which one is better-Electronics and communications in Dtu or nsit?
My sister pursued her B.E. in Electronics and Communication from NSIT (NSUT). She was also confused between the two options when she got her JEE Mains rank. Finally, she chose NSUT. These are the reasons behind her decision-
- NSIT (NSUT) is well-known for Electronics. Before their separation, NSUT was a part of DTU that specialized in Electronics.
- The faculty for electronics is better at NSUT. There are well-known and highly respected faculty members under whom you can do various projects.
- The CEDT Lab at NSUT, funded by Texas Instruments is famous in other colleges as well and people from other colleges also enroll themselves to work in the CEDT Lab.
- NSUT is not as overpopulated as DTU. This leads to comparatively less competition and better placement opportunities.
Overall, NSUT is a better choice to pursue your Electronics and Communication Engineering.
Which one is better, NIT Surathkal ECE or NIT Allahabad CSE?
As an outsider to both these colleges, I have provided below an unbiased comparison of both-
- Campus- The campus of NIT Surathkal is better than NIT Allahabad. It has a private beach of its own and a much more beautiful infrastructure.
- Placements- The placements for CSE from NIT Allahabad are better than ECE from NIT Surathkal. This is because CSE has better placements at present. During the 2023 placement season,CSE department of NIT Allahabad recorded 94.47 % placements of eligible students, with an average CTC of INR 27.57 LPA. The highest CTC stood at 1.35 CPA.
As for the ECE department of NIT Surathkal, the electrical and electronics departments recorded the highest CTC of 32.16 LPA during the 2022 placement season.
- Student Background- NIT Surathkal comprises mostly South Indian students (50% state reservation), while NIT Allahabad will offer you a North Indian crowd.
Both the institutions are good. It is your personal preference which you should consider while making your decision.
Which one should I choose - ECE in NIT, Durgapur or IIIT, Allahabad?
I completed my B.Tech ECE from NIT Durgapur a few years back. Thus, I can tell you about the ECE department of my college-
The placements for ECE are quite poor. Barely any core companies visit the campus for recruitments. As a result, ECE students try for IT companies during the placement season. The curriculum is also not up to the mark. It needs to be updated and aligned with present day needs of the semiconductor industry. Scoring good CGPAs is easy but one has to stay updated on the industry standards on our own.
IIIT Allahabad has a research oriented environment, and its attendance policy is quite lenient. It offers good placements in the IT department. Try to approach some seniors from IIITA to find out the condition of its ECE branch.
If the B.Tech ECE at IIIT Allahabad is as good as its B.Tech IT, consider joining this college over NIT Durgapur.
Which is better academically (preferably CSE and ECE branch), NIT-Manipur, NIT-Meghalaya, NIT-Sikkim, NIT-Nagaland, or Tezpur University?
If your need is a job right after graduation, then NITs certainly are good alternatives. In this scenario, NIT Meghalaya & Nagaland would be safer. But don't expect dream companies on-campus placements. The university of Tezpur can also offer you few IT placements, but TU placements are not comparable to the NITs.
TU will be the best choice amongst those listed if you want to learn, explore, study ECE, CSE fields. The University of Tezpur has great ECE & CSE departments. Both departments are over ten years old. In comparison with NIT-Silchar, TU's CSE faculty & labs better. TU has a strong research orientation, since many science and engineering departments exist, which is not the case for all the NITs listed.
So, if you want placement, go for the NITs. If you want to learn and explore your field then TU is definitely the better choice.
How are the ECE department teachers in NIT Warangal? Is there anything positive about this department in NITW?
As a B.Tech ECE student at NIT Warangal, here is my review of this department-
- Some of the ECE professors at NIT Warangal aren’t helpful or supportive.
- There are plenty of assignments, around 8 per week. Some students are somehow able to submit all these assignments on time, always.
- There is no time for extracurriculars because it is already too difficult to score good grades while managing such a heavy workload.
- Some teachers are not flexible and expect a lot from the students.
- Teachers expect us to show up formally. Each teacher follows certain rules which are enforced upon the students very strictly.
One positive aspect that I can tell you about the ECE department is that some ECE professors are helpful and supportive. However, some fall under the above category.
Thus, I would say that the NIT Warangal ECE department gets quite overwhelming at times. But this is a subjective opinion and you should also talk to a few other students from this branch.
How's ECE at SVNIT Surat?
I am a fresher student of B.Tech ECE at SVNIT. But I will try to answer this question to the best of my knowledge.
At other engineering colleges, ECE is the second most preferred branch after CSE/ IT. But at SVNIT, Mechanical is the second most preferred branch after CSE, followed by Electrical and ECE. It is not that the ECE of SVNIT is subpar, rather the Mechanical of this college is way ahead.
Mechanical has a top notch faculty, a huge class strength, core recruiters, and it is one of the oldest branches of this college. The ECE faculty teaches well, but not as good as other core branch faculties. The B.Tech ECE students have to work a lot to score above 9 CGPA. The fests and clubs are almost the same for all branches. ECE is vast and interesting. It covers not just electronics and communication, but also programming and electrical to a certain extent.
The placements are best for CSE, followed by Mechanical due to the presence of core companies near Surat. No big core companies come to the ECE department for placements, but still, the placements are average. Moreover, there’s always an option of off campus placements.
This is all about the ECE branch at SVNIT. It is a decent branch of this college.
Is ECE at SVNIT Surat that bad?
ECE is not an ideal department for someone who doesn’t know about the challenges that are present in Engineering. It is not the best department for learning and self discovery. The teaching is not good in the department.
But for someone with a passion for this branch, it is fair enough to choose ECE over other fields. Moreover, SVNIT carries the NIT tag, which is of great value. But without any particular interest or passion for this field, it is difficult to get through ECE at SVNIT.
The faculty is not supportive and Engineering is tiring in itself. Thus, I would recommend you choose B.Tech ECE at SVNIT only if you have a keen interest in this field.
How is the IIT Bombay R.A. written test for ECE?
The syllabus of RA exams conducted in IIT Bombay for ECE is very much similar to that of GATE. The primary purpose of this written test is to ensure you have a holistic understanding of different subjects to work with and manage BTech students in labs of different branches.
There are 5 branches of ECE at IIT Bombay; Communication Engineering, Electronic Systems, Control, and Computing, MicroElectronics, and Power Electronics. Some core points related to the RA exam are
- A total of around 35 questions from all the above 5 branches combined are given
- You have to attempt 20 questions
- The common topics include diode characteristics, Zener diode-based numerical, questions on greens and stokes theorem, double integrals, etc
- On clearing the cutoff, you will get an interview call
- The interview will be conducted by a number of panels (recruiters for different labs)
- The questions asked will vary from panel to panel and will be related to the research work being conducted in labs
- Once the interview is over, the results would be published in a weeks time in IITB portal
Pro tip: You need to have sound knowledge of the research work in the department. For instance, Wadhwani Electronics Lab(WEL) is one of the main labs in EE dept, and most of the basic electronics lab courses are conducted in this lab. So as an RA, you should be skilled in using CROs, DSOs, working breadboards, and so on. Additionally, your exposure to Micro Controllers or FPGA could increase your chances of selection.
Should I choose NIT Jamshedpur for a CS/ECE or NIT Allahabad in chemical? Can I go for a branch change next year?
NIT Allahabad is a better choice than NIT Jamshedpur, especially for CSE. If you are not getting CSE, try going for IT because the branches are somewhat similar. Moreover, NIT Allahabad has options for internal sliding too so you can try your luck there. Chances of sliding to CSE are rare so you can try going for IT instead.
Also, If you are considering joining a core branch, except CSE, IT, and ECE, remember that you will have to appear for GATE in the last year to get a job in PSUs.

Which one should I choose NIT Durgapur core branches or MIT Manipal ECE?
The best way to choose the right college for you is to give preference to the branch and not just the tag. As a NIT pass out my friend claims that the opportunities NIT provides, and the freedom it gives you to grow is unmatched. The institute does give you a high level of freedom that might break or make your career. It’s you who decides the choices you make.
The best part about NIT Durgapur is its active club culture, which ensures a good bond between like-minded people. Also, being a government college, NIT charges very low fees in comparison to MIT, a private college.
