What should be my branch preference list in NIT Raipur?

You should make your branch preference list based on your own interests. Considering the fact that most students are concerned about good placement after the completion of the course, here is an order of preference according to such criteria for NIT Raipur.

1. Computer Science and Engineering.

4. Mining Engineering.
5. Electrical Engineering.
6. Civil Engineering.
7. Chemical Engineering.
8. BioMedical Engineering/ Biotechnology/ Metallurgy.

Discussed below are a few things that you need to keep in mind while preferring a branch. 

• The placement scenario is different every year, according to the companies visiting for placement.
• The above order is suitable for you if you are interested in software company jobs. If you have an interest in core-sector jobs, the list will be different.
• For any department, the placement depends upon your capabilities. Therefore, choosing a branch you are interested in will be better.
• For students who are interested in CAT or GRE, the reverse of the above order is suitable, as it involves the need for quality time to study for these kinds of competitive exams. For GATE aspirants, it becomes subjective, depending upon the candidate’s branch of interest.

This order of precedence may not seem suitable to some students, and it is entirely based on a personal choice. The above highlights should be considered while selecting among several branches, in institutes like NIT Raipur.
