Which one is better for computer science and engineering and why: VNIT Nagpur, NIT Calicut, or NIT Rourkela?

AS
Ayushi Sehgal Posted On : March 1st, 2024

I completed my B.Tech CS from NIT Rourkela, so I can only speak for my own college.

For placements, NIT Rourkela is probably behind the other two because of its locational disadvantage. The lack of good connectivity creates difficulty for IT/software firms to reach Rourkela during placement season. Despite that, last year, the average package for B.Tech CS was Rs. INR 21.87 LPA at NIT Rourkela. This is quite a decent figure.

Moreover, I can assure you of the excellent research and infrastructural facilities at NIT Rourkela. It is probably better than the other two in this regard, and can even be compared to NIT Trichy. A good number of students from the CS department get offered foreign research internships. Some of them even end up receiving an offer for higher studies from universities in the US and Europe. 

NIT Rourkela is a good option for B.Tech CS if you want to pursue higher studies, but it might not be the best in terms of placements.

B.tech Electronics and Communication Engineering, National Institute of Technology, Calicut (2019)

NITC is pretty good in terms of both curriculum and placement. But ECE in general is a vast branch where you have to study bits and pieces of electronics, Electrical engineering, Communication Engineering, and Computer Science. Initially, it might seem a bit overwhelming but once you get the hang of it, you will understand the beauty of the subject.

  • First-year concepts are general for all branches. You can spend time improving your coding skills as it's very important in the current scenario.
  • In the second year, you will learn about the basics of electronics and communication. Here you will come across basic concepts like solid-state devices, Network theory, logic designs, and many more. Look for internship opportunities from your second year so that you will get some good exposure. You can also work on some projects under your faculties.
  • Third-year is majorly dedicated to computer networks, digital signal processing, microprocessors, and controllers. You will get a wide range of electives to choose from including AI to VLSI. Prepare for GATE at this stage if you want to pursue higher education.
  • Fourth-year is all about placements, projects, and internships. 151 students from the 2019-20 batch availed of internship opportunities with an average stipend of 15K.

What is the one thing you regret not doing in your BTech life at NIT Calicut?

AS
Abhimanyu Singh Posted On : April 13th, 2021
Studied at National Institute of Technology, Calicut (2019)

There are a bunch of things that you should do before you graduate from NIT Calicut which might sound simple and silly but worth looking back down the memory lane.

  • Scaling on the rooftop of MB and spending a night there chilling with your squad.
  • Spend some more nights doing midnight conversations with your friends.
  • Go on as many trips as you can when you still are out of your work-life pressure.
  • Complete your major project on time so that you can spend those final days of your college life stress-free and by doing things that you love. 
  • Conduct thorough research on the company where you got placed so that you don't have to regret your decision later on. Look for outside job opportunities too. You never know about the best things which await you outside, especially in the CSE field.
  • Never miss a DJ night at a basketball stadium.
  • Take a midnight ride to Kappad. Serene beaches there will surely mesmerize you. A clean and empty beach with only a few locals is a perfect spot to get away with your friends.
  • Take a long stroll at night on your campus and admire its beauty when you are still there.

Tick all the things to do in your bucket list before graduating from Calicut. You never know what you will regret not doing when you still are a student.

Which is better for mechanical engineering - the NIT in Calicut or BITS Goa?

DK
Deepika Khatri Posted On : August 24th, 2021
Studied Mechanical Engineering at National Institute of Technology, Calicut

If you are fine with the higher fee structure of BITS Goa, then it will be a better choice for you. The infrastructure of both colleges is similar to each other but the alumni network is better at BITS Goa compared to NIT Calicut. 

But if you are interested in mechanical engineering and want to pursue it as your passion, then you should probably choose NIT Calicut. The placement records of the Mechanical department in core companies are better at NIT Calicut. The average package offered is also higher than BITS Goa. Many students opt for jobs in non-core companies especially in the IT sector from BITS Goa and they learn coding too during their graduation. 

If you are looking for a job related straight to what you have studied, then choose NIT Calicut. However, if you have a plan to go for higher education, probably abroad, then BITS Goa will be a better choice. Its alumni network will also help you a lot in securing a job in a reputed company.
