What should I opt for: Engineering Physics at DTU or EEE at MAIT (IP)?

DTU is ranked at 36 amongst all engineering colleges in India by NIRF 2020. MAIT is ranked at 89 by the week for BTech.

The Engineering Physics program at DTU is related to applied physics and has electronics as a major subject and minor electives which include Nanoscience, Nuclear engineering, Photonics, space, and atmospheric science, etc. Whereas,EEE strictly focuses on electrical subjects and excludes minor electives.

Admission:

• Both the colleges admit students through joint admission counseling (JAC) that is based on JEE scores.
• A student needs to have a minimum of 60% for the general category and 55% for SC/ST/OBC categories in 10+2 to be eligible for admission.

Placements: Both the colleges organize placement drives each year.

DTU-

• Top recruiters at the institute are Amazon, Optium, Magicpin, Ion Trading, Wipro, Hitachi, etc.
• The median salary ranges from 6.2 LPA to 9 LPA.
• The placement rate is 87%.

MAIT-

• For MAIT, the top employers are Accenture, Infosys, ZS Associates, TATA power, DDL, Indian army, Air force, and Navy.
• The median salary range is 3.75 LPA-4.25 LPA.
• The placement rate for the institute is 63%.

Engineering Physics and EEE are two completely different branches of engineering. The former has more opportunities for higher studies and DTU offers great exposure for that. Many students went on to pursue MS in Ivy League Universities from the course. Whereas EEE has better placement. You should choose the course you are more interested in and the institute according to that.
