Having known some people studying in these colleges, I can tell you that both colleges are really good in their own ways. But, you should consider the following before you make any decision:

• KJ Somaiya has slowly improved over the years and now is considered much better than Mumbai University (MU).
• Vivekanand is known to keep track of attendance which is not the case with KJ Somaiya.
• If you are considering doing Electronics, you should know that Electronics and Telecommunications has an upper edge.
• The exams at KJ Somaiya are tougher than MU. This is because MU repeats a lot of previous years’ questions.
• You will get a 5 day holiday in MU before a semester paper. At KJ, you will only get a day or two. Therefore, at KJ, your exams will be hectic.
• The semesters end pretty quickly at KJ as opposed to MU. 
• MU students only get one month’s leave after a semester ends. For KJ, this leave is for 2 months. 
• You can utilize this time to look for internships and other activities that will help strengthen your resume.

• Electronics has a few subjects like digital communication which might overlap with telecommunications.

Both the colleges are even. It will finally depend on where your interests lie and what you would like to do. Find out if you are more interested in telecommunications or just core electronics, then choose accordingly. 

Electronics will teach you more about electronic components, circuits and other basic ideas that might be required in general electronics. Telecommunications will only give you a deeper understanding of communication technologies.

One of my friends studied at Punjab Engineering College, Chandigarh, so I will be able to share some information about their placement process, drives, etc. 

• Companies like Arcesium and Amazon might offer a 30+ package, though few students receive this offer based on their coding skills.
• Core companies like Sandisk, Texas Instruments, MediaTek, etc. may hire 4-5 candidates from CS, ECE, and EE departments combined.
• The remaining students get placed in different sectors like IT, Consulting, Banking, etc. These include BCG, JP Morgan, Amadeus, Smartcube, etc.
• TCS and Infosys are the mass recruiters, they will offer you many opportunities, though they might sometimes not be up to the mark. So try to stay ahead in the competition. 

In the below table you will get the placement record of the ECE course of Punjab Engineering College, Chandigarh.

Students also get placed by mass recruiters like TCS, or Infosys. But it will be better if you get recruiters from core companies. Therefore, a package of Punjab Engineering College, Chandigarh, is good. Most students get placed. So, if you are thinking of joining PEC, then go ahead with it.

The aspiring candidate should not think about this right now. As we all know, the cutoff trends change every year. If the candidate wants an approximate idea, they need to add +15 marks to the previous year’s cutoff marks. The cutoff marks differ for home and other state students.

Here is the NIT Calicut JEE Main 2020 cutoff.

It is time to stop thinking about the cutoffs and minimum marks and focus on the preparation. One should always prepare for greater marks than the required cutoff.

I have a few friends from both NIT Trichy and CEG and here is what I gathered from my conversations with them. 

• In terms of ranking, NIT Trichy is placed higher than CEG. This is because NIT admits students based on JEE Mains ranking and CEG admits students based on board marks.
• In terms of placements, NIT Trichy would be way ahead of CEG. The college enjoys a better reputation and big firms come for placements.
• For ECE, then recruiting companies visiting the on-campus placements at NIT Trichy are Qualcomm, Texas Instruments, SanDisk, Nvidia, etc. The average CTC offered is 6 LPA. 
• You can also go for higher education if you have a good GPA and great projects.
• The faculty team is overall good. A few of them are extremely knowledgeable and conduct high-quality research. In terms of facilities, NIT Trichy has an edge over CEG. 
• Since CEG is in Chennai, there are other sources of enjoyment but NIT Trichy is 20 km away from Trichy.

Overall, NIT Trichy will be a better choice than CEG.

Electrical and Electronics Engineering (EEE) and Electronics and Communication Engineering (ECE) are two different branches of engineering. As some of my friends had these courses, I can share some details about them, later analyzing which you can make a decision. 

• EEE is concerned with electrical engineering, which encompasses circuits, transformers, electrostatics, magnetics, and other related topics.
• ECE is concerned with the electrical and communication aspects of the subject. Communication is learning a programming language, VLSI, and coding. After CSE, it is the most popular branch among students.
• As a matter of interest, both the ECE and EEE branches are fascinating and demanding. 
• Hence, one should choose either of the two based on his or her own personal interests.
• If you don't have a particular interest and want to choose based on placement opportunities, then ECE is recommended. 
• It has a scope that is even greater than CSE. 

Because CSE is currently at its pinnacle and will almost certainly reach saturation in the next 4 to 5 years. So, at this time, it would be wiser to choose ECE. regardless of the college, whether it is NIT Trichy, NIT Warangal, or any other NITs or IITs in India.

At first, the term 'best faculty' is not an extensive classification basis. As we know Electronics and Communication are a vast field of engineering, and here we can classify roughly into Digital and analog domains.

The faculty members have different specializations and some are indeed true masters of their trend.

• For Signal Processing - Dr. G Abhilash – He is the perfect blend of Dedication and discipline redefined. He makes students learn subjects through the blend of excellent lecturing skills as well as practical sessions.
• For Communication - Dr. lillykutty Jacob and Dr. P C Subramanian (Chaos Theory)
• For Semiconductor Physics, VLSI - Dr. Rama Subramanian – He is also very popular among students for his student-friendly nature.
• For Embedded - Lyla B Das – Also the author of some textbooks, she has the industry experience and is also student-friendly.

Dr. Sathi Devi and Dr. Elisabeth Elias are also doing remarkable work in their fields.

Dr. Praveen Sankaran, Ameer P M, Dr. Rama Subramanian, and Abhilash are some of the coolest ones among the faculty members and personal favorites of most of the students. They just not come to deliver lectures but also motivate the students and share their industrial experience.

Well, I cannot say whether the decision you took is right or wrong because if you have taken the decision you have given certain thought and time into it. 

Very few have the guts to leave a premier institute like IIEST and join Heritage. If you changed institute because you wanted to change your branch there but you couldn’t, then you made the right choice. 

If you’re interested in higher studies after B.Tech then Heritage does offer good opportunities. ECE has huge scopes. Coming to Heritage, ECE faculty and labs are very good, the teachers will guide you in the best possible way to help you pursue your dreams. One of my friends left civil at NIT, Durgapur for ECE here. Heritage has a decent placement record. According to the recent placement highlights the average CTC offered is 4 LPA. 

If you’re interested in higher studies, then choosing the branch you are passionate about is always a better option than choosing a good institute.
