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:
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.
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.
Before choosing an institute, think about what your requirements are. Here are some points that might help you make a decision.
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.
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.
The placement in CSE at NIT Sikkim is very good, having offers from top MNCs across the world. The points below give a brief overview of the placement of NIT Sikkim, specific to Computer Science and Engineering.
Therefore, it is clear that placements in CSE at NIT Sikkim are as good as any other institute of the national importance of the same level.
