Heritage Institute of Technology is a good private institute if you want to pursue electrical engineering. The placements at Heritage are also good and there is no shortage of candidates looking for admission.

All the branches in Heritage are good. The same goes for the electrical engineering branch. The equipment in the library is well maintained. The environment is also friendly.

The students in the department of CSE get placed the most followed by the students of IT. The students ECE and EE come after them. Placements however are determined by your hard work and dedication.

The faculty at Heritage is arguably one of the best of all the private engineering institutes in West Bengal. So Heritage will prove to be a good choice.

For an Institute like NIT Raipur, both the branches of electrical or electronics telecommunication are worth taking. Below mentioned are some points about the branches which may help you in making a decision. 

• Both branches hold good placement statistics. Core companies usually opt for the electrical branch students while software-based companies go for the students of the electronics and telecommunication branch.
• The Department of Electrical branch has a decent reputation in college as this is a core branch which follows all the discipline and regulations.
• IES is open for the students for both the branches and thus choosing any one branch is no less than the other.
• When it comes to academics and scoring well; the students of both branches are exceptionally good. Ms. Jaya Jha from the Electrical branch and Mr. Shivam Singh of Electronics and Telecommunications bagged AIR-1 in Graduate Aptitude Test.

You can’t go wrong with any of these two choices, so choose the branch that interests you more.

There is a branch change provision at IIT Mandi which is very lenient too. So if you are confused with your branch and you wish to change your branch in the future, then you should choose IIT Mandi. 

One of my friends was in a similar situation a few years back and he opted for IIT Mandi for its flexible branch change policies. He was able to change his branch to CSE. To change your branch to CSE, you will need a CGPA of around 8.6. 

IIT Mandi has a 50% branch change allowance whereas at IIT Roper it is 10%. To know more about the branch change rules you can visit the official website.

For obvious reasons, ED in IIT Madras is better than EE from IIT Mandi.

Since, you are a Keralite, you need to travel across the entire length of India whenever you need to travel back and forth from your home. Moreover, the climate will also be a minus factor. In case of Chennai, you can travel overnight and reach your home. The people there will be more familiar to you as compared to those in Mandi.

Engineering Design - 

• It is an amalgamation of all the engineering disciplines in a crude sense which can be easily seen by their curriculum. 
• The curriculum includes doing coding, mechanical labs and civil engineering courses, it even includes Electrical Engineering. 
• BTech in Electrical Design is a 5 year Program as it includes a compulsory six month internship (an entire semester) in the final year and a project in the final year of the course. Whereas, the courses at other branches last for only 8 weeks.

To summarize, IIT Madras offers you everything that IIT Mandi has and a lot more than that.

Mandi is situated in Himachal Pradesh, it has a very pleasing scenery. But keeping in mind the distance, weather conditions and the ease of living for a Keralite, Chennai is a much better option.

I have two friends who are Electrical Engineering graduates from PEC and are currently working in a good IT company. One of them was also among the only two people who cracked directly written. 

Being from an electrical background, it can be tough to learn coding in your free time and also cope up with your syllabus and keep your grades high. But if you are persistent you can definitely do it. You might also need to study some CS/IT subjects like DBMS while learning to code. As many students of the institute suggest to secure a job in an IT company you have to take off-campus routes, as most of the top companies are not open for interviews for the Electrical branch at PEC Chandigarh. 

But yes, it is possible to land a job at an IT company even after completing ELE if you can learn to code properly and work hard enough to make yourself prepare for the job.
