How do I excel in studies and get a good placement in electrical from NIT Raipur?

A relative of mine used to be a student of NIT Agartala. If you are talking in terms of the quality of the education, then NIT Durgapur is better than Agartala. NIT Agartala is good, though. You will be able to prepare for your ESE, PSU, GATE examinations here.

Coming to placements, around four to eight companies including PSUs visit NIT Agartala for the purpose of recruiting students who are from Civil Engineering Department. This department in NIT Agartala is not as good and reputed as the one in the former NIT.

After completion of your first year in NIT Agartala, you will get the opportunity to change your branch. This is called the ‘Sliding Process’. To get this opportunity, you will have to obtain a CGPA of 8.5 or higher in the first year which consists of two semesters. Based on such results, you will be able to get a seat in electronics branches like ECE, EIE, EE with ease. The curricula of all the NITs are more or less the same.
