Questions Asked On NIT, South Sikkim

How is the placement at NIT Sikkim?

SK

B.Tech Electrical and Electronics Engineering & Mathematics, National Institute of Technology Sikkim

Being a national institute of importance, NIT Sikkim has grown in terms of its recruitment and placement services. While the website mentions that the placement statistics for the 2014-17 batch was nearly 103%, according to that number the placement rate surpasses even IIT Bombay, which is questionable.

The actual rate of placement has been observed to be around 60% where a majority of these placements are bagged through drive or pooling. Because of this factor, relatively fewer companies visit the campus for recruitments.

Based on different branches, let us look at the placements specifically:

  • CSE: Over 80% of students are placed but the average median salary is quite low, around INR 6 LPA. Only a few students get the opportunity to be recruited by MNC’s. Some of the main recruiters are Bosch and IBM.
  • Electronics Engineering: The faculty is really good and more than 90% of students are placed with the highest CTC of 12 LPA.
  • Mechanical Engineering: Popular for its labs and experienced faculty members, this branch observes a comparatively low placement rate since very few companies visit for the mechanical field. The main recruiters are Denso and Intel.
  • Civil Engineering: While the course is well-designed, the placements for this branch are not up to the mark. Although nearly 70% of students are placed, the companies are not MNC’s or reputed. Most students are simply offered internships along with the NIT degree.
  • Electronics and Communication: The placements within this branch are excellent, considering top companies like L&T, Infosys, Intel, Tech Mahindra are all part of the recruitment drive. Nearly 90% of students are placed with the highest CTC of 17 LPA.

The university does have great faculty members who provide students with a good teaching experience.

To conclude, it is preferable to take admissions only if you are a dropper. Else, it is always better to appear for JEE Mains again and get a better ranking.

Both IIEST and NIT Sikkim are excellent institutes for engineering in India. There are several aspects in which one of the two institutes is ahead of the other. The points below elaborate on those factors for both the institutes to give a brief overview of both the campuses.

  • IIEST has a much better infrastructure than NIT Sikkim, being a much older and established institute. IIEST is the second oldest college in India. The buildings of IIEST are quite old. But, the overall campus is huge, consisting of all kinds of required facilities.
  • NIT Sikkim is one of the new NITs, and so does not have a permanent campus. But, the temporary campus is worth living on. It has a view of mountains all around and is situated at a hill station. Even being a small campus, it is filled with required amenities.
  • The hostels of NIT Sikkim have some problems due to their recent establishment. But, they are good overall, having spacious rooms and corridors.
  • IIEST hostels are good too but are very old. They are not that well-maintained. But, you will get used to it eventually.
  • Although NIT Sikkim is a new NIT, it has been showing good placement statistics in recent years. There are companies like the power grid, Intel, etc, that visit the campus for placement. According to the placement highlights of 2020, the average and highest CTC offered at the institute are 8 LPA and 18 LPA.
  • The placement of IIEST is definitely very good with great packages for CSE, IT, and ECE branches. In 2020 the highest CTC offered by the institute was 39 LPA.

Overall, both the colleges are decent in their own aspects, providing several opportunities to students in fields of placement and research. It is on you to do good research about both, observe the key highlights, and then make a decision.

Which is better academically (preferably CSE and ECE branch), NIT Manipur. NIT Meghalaya, NIT Sikkim, NIT Nagaland or Tezpur University?

DG
Dona Ghosh, Posted On : November 11th, 2021
B.Tech Computer Science Engineering, Tezpur University (2020)

Before choosing an institute, think about what your requirements are. Here are some points that might help you make a decision.

  • If your aim is a job in a corporate sector then the NITs will definitely be better options. Opt for either NIT Meghalaya or Nagaland. 
  • Do not compare their placements with older NITs as it could prove disappointing.
  • Tezpur University (TU) is also known to provide good placement opportunities but it is more concentrated to only the CSE department. 
  • You may get placements from a few IT companies, but overall placements are concerned NITs are definitely better than TU.
  • Students who are interested in learning and exploring research fields can opt for TU as well. 
  • Tezpur University has very good faculty strength in ECE & CSE. 
  • The two departments are much older too. 
  • The CSE faculty and labs of TU are better than NIT Silchar. 
  • TU has got a good research environment as there are multiple departments of Science and Engineering, which is not the case of the mentioned NITs.

Therefore it is suggested that if you aim for an immediate job opportunity, go for NITs. For students who feel confident that they can get a job off campus or are more inclined towards academics and research can go for TU.

I will get NIT Raipur, Puducherry, Meghalaya, Mizoram, Manipur, Arunachal Pradesh, Srinagar and Sikkim. Which one should I join?

BG
Bidita Ghose Posted On : September 9th, 2023
Lives in Bengaluru, Karnataka, India

The answer to this question depends on your personal preferences and expectations from your college-to-be.

If you prioritize infrastructure, NIT Srinagar has one of the most beautiful campuses among all the NITs. On the other hand, NIT Puducherry has a better faculty than all your other options. 

Placement-wise, NIT Raipur has the best record among these colleges. However, the infrastructure and faculty of NIT Raipur are below average. But it is a good college for its sports facilities and senior-junior connections. There aren't any cases of ragging on its campus. Also, it offers better connectivity than the other NITs you’ve mentioned. 

As for the northeastern NITs that you have mentioned, most people don’t choose them. This is because of lesser connectivity and a lack of overall facilities at them. Their placements aren’t at par with the other NITs. Also, you’ll experience totally different weather and culture over there. So you might face difficulties in adjusting. 

Now the choice will also depend upon the branch you are offered at NIT Raipur, NIT Srinagar, and NIT Puducherry. If say, you are offered Biotech or Biomed at NIT Raipur and Civil at NIT Srinagar, without a doubt, go for the second option. Biotech and Biomed at NIT Raipur aren’t good choices.
