Which should I choose, EEE in NIT Surathkal, ECE in IIIT Bangalore, or CS in RVC?

AB

If you are given these options, your rank in JEE Mains must be near 10k, and that in KCET >= 100. I was faced with similar choices, so I am listing down the pros and cons of each option-

  • RVC- If you are a Bangalorean and don’t wish to go to a hostel, RVC is the ideal choice. You’ll be getting CSE, which is great. The faculty at RVC is good. It offers an indoor basketball court. Your peers would’ve aced their KCET. But the minus point is that there is a management quota.
  • IIIT Bangalore-T his is a great choice for you even if you are interested in CSE. The curriculum for ECE and CSE is mostly common for the first two years. Both branches study common topics like programming and computer architecture. Even a branch change is possible by getting on the Dean’s Merit List. Branch change is purely merit based.
  • NIT Surathkal- EEE from NITK is a great option. However, if you are interested in CS/IT, getting a branch change isn’t easy. Vacancy is low during branch change and its rules are quite rigid-
  1. The current branch’s strength must not decrease by more than 10%.
  2. The future branch’s strength must not increase by more than 10%.
  3. Category-wise allotment of seats is done, similar to JoSAA

If you are planning for an M.Tech in near future, choose IIITB. The iMtech will allow you to complete two degrees in five years, and you won’t be stressed over GATE exams. IIIT Bangalore offers the best placements. This is because Bangalore is the center of major IT and Electronics brands. 

I chose iMtech at IIIT Bangalore because of these reasons. You must choose the option that best suits your personal preferences. All the three institutions are well renowned.

Is NIT Delhi (ECE) a better option than NIT Durgapur (ECE)? I was previously alloted to NIT Durgapur ECE till round 6. I got Delhi.

My cousin is a student at NIT Delhi currently and claims it to be the best NIT in North India. It provides an excellent platform for research-oriented study and top-notch academics.

The first-year students of all branches are taught the same subjects. From the 3rd year, students have labs for every theory subject. There are approximately 60–70 hour classes of core subjects and 30 hours lab in the same subject. Students are also required to make projects for every lab for which they are even graded. There are around 7-8 subjects in every semester comprising 5 core subjects and remaining computer science, humanities, and applied science subjects. The curriculum is therefore very rigorous and you will have to work extra hard for this branch. 

The branch records great placements every year and students are also offered internships from good companies. An added advantage of studying at NIT Delhi is the close proximity to coaching centers in Delhi.

However, NIT Delhi lacks in terms of cultural activities so if you want to experience a dynamic and fun-filled campus life, you might want to reconsider your decision.

Which should I prefer for ECE, NIT Uttarakhand or NIT Patna?

AB
Akriti Banerjee Posted On : August 31st, 2023
lives in New Delhi

NIT Patna is a very old and well-established college. On the other hand, NIT Uttarakhand is very new (est. 2010). As a former ECE student at NIT Uttarakhand, here are my observations on my college-

  1. Though in a much better condition now, NIT Uttarakhand is operating from a temporary campus.
  2. Sports and cultural activities have increased from before.
  3. The number of teachers in various departments has increased and the administration has become more flexible.
  4. The placement scenario has improved and is getting better with time.
  5. Elections are held for different positions in the institution. Thus, students are ultimately in charge.
  6. The ECE faculty is very supportive and learned, especially the HOD.
  7. Lab facilities have improved with more equipment and research facilities. However, the labs have no ACs.
  8. Classes are conducted from 8 to 6. This will allow you to become more disciplined with time management because you’ll have assignments to complete, errands to run, and so on.

NIT Uttarakhand isn’t a bad choice as it will give you great learning opportunities. But NIT Patna is way older and will provide you with better placements and facilities. Thus, I recommend you choose NIT Patna for your ECE.

What should I prefer, MNIT Jaipur civil, NIT Hamirpur ECE, EE, or NIT Kurukshetra EE?

AB
Akriti Banerjee Posted On : September 2nd, 2023
lives in New Delhi

It's tough to choose between MNIT Jaipur Civil, NIT Hammirpur ECE, EE, or NIT Kurukshetra EE. The answer depends on your interests alone. However here are a few things you would like to consider

  • Interest : This may not be the best criteria to determine the right branch because engineering students are mere class 12 pass-outs having no knowledge outside their PCM syllabus.
  • Placements : If you are after hefty packages, then you will have to prioritize branch over college. Here is the preference order you can follow CSE>IT>Mech=ECE>EE>Civil
  • Government jobs : If you are willing to work in the government sector or PSU, then NIT Kurukshetra is the right place for you. A lot of PSUs visit the institute every year. But here choice of branch and college both matters. The choice of the branch for this should be Mech>Civil>EE>ECE.
  • Civil Services Preparation: If you are planning to prepare for Civil services, then choose NIT Kurukshetra over NIT Hamirpur because the workload is less and you will get a lot of free time to study. You can go for branches like civil, electrical, and mechanical.
  • MBA : If you are planning to pursue an MBA then your branch doesn't matter. What matters is the brand of the college you hail from. NIT not only provides the NIT tag but also gives you enough time to prepare for the CAT.
  • MS/Mtech/Research : If you want to pursue a career in research, or pursue an MS from a foreign university, then choose ECE. This field has a lot of scope in terms of research. 

Ultimately, the final decision depends on your inclinations and future prospects so choose wisely.

How are ECE placements in IIT Bhubaneswar?

SK
Sobhona Kunwar Posted On : June 22nd, 2023
Indian Institute of Technology, Bhubaneswar

ECE started as an independent branch at IIT Bhubaneswar in 2016. Only around 10% of the students are placed in core companies like Marvell Technology and Qualcomm. 

The rest of the students are placed in software companies like- Amazon, Microsoft, HSBC, Mathworks, Oyo, and Razorpay among others. 

Thus, a lot fewer core companies visit the campus for placements as compared to software companies. Overall, the ECE branch placements are good.

For those who are open to shifting to the software domain, IIT Bhubaneswar is a pretty good option for your ECE. However, if you wish to work in the core companies, try to get admission to one of the old IITs.

Here are the placement statistics for B.Tech ECE at IIT Bhubaneswar:

Placement Parameters

B.Tech ECE

Placement Percentage

87%

Highest Package

44.62 LPA

Lowest Package

9.65 LPA

Average Package

22.85 LPA

Median Package

18 LPA

Electrical Engineering course is present at IIT Bhubaneswar since its inception. Before 2016, B.Tech Electrical Engineering was a combination of Traditional Electrical and Electronics Engineering (EEE) and Electronics and Communication Engineering (ECE). Since 2016, both branches were divided. Now, there is B.Tech in EE and a B.Tech in ECE offered by IIT Bhubaneswar.

You can consider IIT Bhubaneswar for pursuing a B.Tech in ECE. The institution offers good salary packages to its students.

Which is better, NIT Warangal (ECE) or BITS Hyderabad (CSE) in a placement perspective?

Sabeer Chalana Posted On : September 6th, 2023

NIT Warangal and BITS Hyderabad are renowned institutes in India. But BITS Hyderabad is leading due to some reasons, which are listed below

Internship – BITS Hyderabad provides a six months internship program right after the degree program. This experience is beneficial for getting a full-time job

Dual Placement – The core companies visit the college twice a year so the students can sit for the interview two times

Early Graduation – The degree program can be completed six months early, or you can take a break for six months and complete the degree on time.

Coding Culture – BITS Hyderabad has a highly competitive culture in ICPC. The trend toward open-source development increased GSOC selections.

Peer Group – This institute does not have reservations, so you will have a healthy peer group

Minor Degrees – You can also pursue other minor degree courses like data science, finance, robotics, etc., which adds an edge to your inclinations.

Overall, BITS Hyderabad is a better choice than NIT Warangal.

Which is better: software engineering at DTU or ECE at NSIT?

AB
Akash Bhatt Posted On : February 2nd, 2021
Studied at Netaji Subhas Institute of Technology, 2018

The answer to this question depends on the interests. It totally depends on the field of interest of the student.

  •  If one is interested in software and development and using devices such as laptops or mobile phones, then one can choose Software engineering at Delhi Technological University (DTU). 
  • If one is interested in the hardware part, then he/she should opt for ECE at NSIT. 
  •  After all if one is still confused to make a decision for either of the streams, then only the candidate should apply for Software Engineering at DTU.

If there is still a confusion about DTU for software Engineering and ECE at NSIT they can look at the college placements for that particular course.

Placements of Software Engineering at DTU and Communications engineering at NSIT: 

Name of the College

Delhi Technological University (DTU)

Netaji Subhas Institute of Technology (NSIT)

Highest package offered

1.08 crores per annum

INR 56 Lakhs per Annum

Average package recorded

13 Lakhs per annum

INR 10 Lakhs per Annum

Top recruiting companies

Google, Microsoft, amazon, adobe etc.

Google, Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan, Amazon, Arcesium and Adobe


 

Therefore, according to the placement averages and top companies that visit the college, Software engineering from Delhi technical university seems like a viable option. There is a wide wage gap that we can see in the tables mentioned above. Also, most of my batch mates also feels that software engineering in DTU is a better option as compared to ECE in NSIT.

Which is a better choice between IIIT Bangalore ECE M.Tech and NIT Surathkal Electrical?

BG
Bidita Ghose Posted On : September 16th, 2023
Lives in Bengaluru, Karnataka, India

I am listing down certain parameters for a better comparison between both these options-

  • Curriculum- In terms of curriculum, IIIT Bangalore is ahead of NIT Surathkal. At IIIT B, you’ll start learning core subjects from day 1 itself. At NITs, on the other hand, first-year students are taught Physics, Chemistry, Maths, Engineering Drawing, and other subjects that won’t be useful for Electrical studies. Also, at IIITB you’ll be solving industry-relevant assignments, which will give you a good insight into the requirements of your field. The curriculum at IIITB is far more updated and advanced.
  • Faculty- Even in terms of faculty, IIIT Bangalore is ahead of NIT Surathkal. They will give you all the relevant information on recent developments in the field of research.
  • Placements- Both campuses are visited by well-known brands for placements. With an 8+ GPA, you’ll be eligible to sit for placements at all core companies. Maintain good scores and proper knowledge of your field to get placed in a good company, at a package of 20+ LPA CTC.
  • College Life- IIIT Bangalore has a small campus and no good fests. On the other hand, NITK has a huge campus with a private beach. So NITK definitely offers a better campus life.
  • Location- Location-wise, IIIT Bangalore has a greater advantage as it is located in Bangalore. NITK is located in the small town of Surathkal.

Both the colleges are really good. I would recommend you make your decision based on the branch you are interested in studying.
