NIT Sikkim is one of the 10 newly sanctioned NITs built by the Government of India. Here is what you need to know about the EEE branch at the institute.
Therefore, if you have an interest in the fields of electrical and electronics, you can surely opt for the institute.
If you are considering doing an EEE from anywhere in Bhopal, please reconsider. Be it LNCT or OIST or RGPV, none of them provide you with good opportunities that you may push your career forward.
The syllabus of EEE is very vast and hard to grasp. It is considered one of the toughest branches. One of my friends opted for it and she thinks that it was a big mistake.
Getting good grades with just an average amount of studies sounds like a dream because if you are not willing to work hard, this branch is not for you.
Most of the students like my friend accepted a career outside of their branch. Though it is somewhat disheartening for EEE students to get jobs in their core fields, even after investing 4 years in them. Most of them ended up in corporate houses or IT firms, doing technical jobs.
Yes, the electrical engineering branch in REVA University is considered one of the best branches offered by REVA University.
Categories | EEE at REVA University |
Course Fee | 15.80 lakh |
Placement Percentage | 80% |
Highest CTC | 23 LPA |
Average CTC | 7 LPA |
Recruiting Companies | Accenture, DXC, Zenken, Dell, etc. |
However, to get a job opportunity in the core sector, you may have to try a bit harder and opt for off-campus placements. So, overall REVA University is good for pursuing EEE.
Out of the two branches, Civil Engineering from CUSAT is the better choice. The following reasons will justify the choice.

The placements of both the branches are bad. Civil Engineering packages are not excellent across India, but CUSAT is a preferred choice.Civil Engineering is decent for the students if they want to work in core companies. However, if you are choosing EEE, then you can appear for civil services examinations and a job guarantee will be there.
In comparison to BITS Hyderabad’s EEE, NIT Calicut’s CSE, the latter would be considered a better option. However, it is entirely up to you whether you want to pursue IT jobs or electrical hardware jobs.
Tabulated difference between NIT Calicut CSE or BITS Hyderabad EEE are:
Categories | CSE from NIT Calicut | EEE from BITS Hyderabad |
Total course fee | 5.42 lakhs | 19.9 lakhs |
Top recruiters | ABB, Amadeus, Amdocs, Ashok Leyland, Bajaj Auto, Capgemini | Adobe, Amazon, Axis Bank , Capgemini, CGI Information Systems and Management Consultants, Cisco System |
Highest salary package | 36 LPA | 45 LPA |
Average Salary Package | 15 LPA | 12 LPA |
As I am not much familiar with BITS Hyderabad, I am not able to share details about the college. I had some of my friends graduating from NIT Calicut so I was able to share these details. Therefore, I believe CSE from NIT Calicut is the better option. You can interact with ex-students of BITS Hyderabad to get a proper overview of the college.
EEE and ECE are both totally different branches and both of them have their respective job opportunities. After a lot of research, I got to know about NIT Meghalaya and Nagaland. Let me discuss them, which might give you a better idea.

The most important thing is to make a choice based on your preference of course rather than the institute name since both of them are on equal terms in all aspects.
IIT Dharwad is a recently established institute that attracts fewer companies and has a small alumni pool. On the other hand, BITS Pilani has graduated more than 50 batches.
The best option would be to take ECE in BITS Hyderabad or ENI in BITS Pilani. The reason I am against you joining a new IIT is that these IITs are not well-known among big companies and some recruiters don’t even consider them worthy of visiting. They know that these IITs can never be at par with the old ones. So it’s better to look beyond the IIT tag and go for BITS Pilani, an excellent choice indeed!
Well, there are benefits for each branch. However, EEE offers you more chances to work in the core-field and other primary areas.
I know a few people from Bannari Amman. According to them, many students and staff from the EEE are engaged in multiple consultancy work. They also undertake AICTE, MNRE approved projects.
The lab facilities are well equipped to carry out academic works. EEE students do get placed in top MNCs and core sector companies through campus placements.
Here is a brief highlight of the recent lament for EEE at the institute.

Placement mostly depends on different aspects. When you train for interviews, you will know about it. Rest, just work hard enough and try not to get any backlogs as many companies demand students with zero to no backlogs.
BITs is autonomus. It sets up their own program. You can download this curriculum from the Anna university portal if you have any doubts about the curriculum part. The autonomous university curriculum and university curriculum are both identical. But the college curriculum itself varies slightly from the university curriculum of Anna. (For example) You can only do one project at the end of the last year in the Anna university program. But you can do projects for each semester at BIT since it’s autonomous.
Below are some of the subjects with codes mentioned to help you out:
Each department will have common topics in the first year and your core topics begin from year 2.
Apart from these, there are going to be practicals which you will have to attend compulsorily as they contain marks as well.
IEM Kolkata and NIT Sikkim are some of the most reputed engineering colleges in India. However, it is difficult to choose between the two as the branches you have mentioned are different. To make a more precise decision, first, decide which branch you want to opt for.
