Should I take IT in UIET Chandigarh or ECE in NIT UK?

RB
Rani Bharadwaj Posted On : July 6th, 2021
Studied at NIT Trichy (2019)

Assuming that you opted for IT in UIET Chandigarh, let us move fast forward to three years and look at how your career might shape out:

  • You can easily get placed in companies like Deloitte, ZS, or any other consultancy firm with salary packages of around INR 6 to 7 LPA if your communication skills are good.
  • If your communication skills are not good enough, you can expect to be placed in IT companies or any start-ups based in Chandigarh city itself. You will be offered salary packages of around INR 3 to 4 LPA.
  • However, since big IT companies like Paytm, Amazon, Flipkart, etc., do not visit the campus during the placement drives, there are fewer chances of you getting placed in a good IT company.
  • Now, assuming that you opt for ECE at NIT UK, you will probably have to sit for the same IT companies and accept the offers.
  • This is because there are very few ECE core sector jobs in India and it is pretty difficult to find one.

I will suggest you opt for ECE at NIT UK solely because of the NIT tag that you will be getting. Being a NITian, myself I can say that it will be of benefit to you in finding a job or even if you want to go for higher studies like MBA or MS.

What should be better: IT at UIET Chandigarh or production engineering at NIT Agartala?

AR
Anubhav Roy Posted On : January 5th, 2021
B.Tech Civil Engineering, National Institute of Technology, Agartala (2012)

Both these branches are completely different in terms of the course content and then the future job description as well, so the important thing here is to know what you want and how you want to shape your future. 

Comparison:

  • If you are interested in coding then you should go for IT at UIET where you may not have the most appealing packages but if you do great in that college with good grades in all 4 years then you will definitely land a well-paying job at a company like TCS or Infosys. 
  • If you choose to do production engineering at NIT Agartala then there are some things that should be kept in mind, the branch itself isn’t well established and is average when you talk about faculties and the overall quality. 
  • However, the NIT tag will be beneficial for your career throughout your professional life. 
  • In NIT Agartala if you want to change your branch from Production Engineering to CSE or ECE, you need to maintain a minimum CGPA of 8.5 in the 1st semester. It also depends on the availability of seats in the branches that you are applying for.

The table below gives an insight into the IT program at UIET and Production Engineering program at NIT Agartala.
