I got NIT Surathkal ECE and IIIT Bangalore CSE. I am joining IIIT Bangalore CSE, is it a good decision?
This is a very subjective question. However, as a student of ECE at NIT Surathkal, I am writing down a few points in defense of my degree-
- First of all, NIT Surathkal offers a much more complete and diversified engineering education. This is because you will get to interact with the students of various disciplines from around the institution. This will offer a good exposure in contrast to the IIITs which are entirely focused on CSE and ECE branches.
- ECE is the branch of the future. CSE is turning more and more into a commodity. This is due to the dilution of its educational standards, and the increasing volume of students in this branch.
- As an ECE student, you can always learn programming (it is in fact a part of the curriculum in a limited manner). However, it is much more difficult to learn the concepts of ECE as a CSE student.
- As an ECE student you can be placed in a software company, but as a CSE student you can’t work in the E&C field.
- Both the colleges are good, but NITK holds more prestige because it is much older. Its campus is very impressive as well.
But even IIIT Bangalore CSE is a great option. Once you’ve made a decision, stop seeking others’ opinions. Instead, work on your skill enhancement. Considering the sheer lack of core jobs in the electronics sector in India and the huge placement opportunities in the IT sector, your choice is good from a placement point of view.
How is NIT Jalandhar for ECE?
Avoid choosing NIT Jalandhar if your goal is to study ECE for the sake of studying ECE sincerely and devotedly.
ECE at NIT Jalandhar emphasizes placement, specifically in an IT company. As an ECE student, you'll be expected to perform exceptionally well in coding and other CSE-related courses. Additionally, the compensation packages provided by core businesses fall well short of what an ECE student would expect, further decreasing the appeal of ECE core.
It is recommended that you choose another institute if you're passionate about electronics and want to pursue a successful career in the field rather than NITJ.
I left aerospace engineering at IIEST and joined Heritage Institute of Technology, Kolkata with Electronics and communication engineering a year later. Was it the right decision?
Well, I cannot say whether the decision you took is right or wrong because if you have taken the decision you have given certain thought and time into it.
Very few have the guts to leave a premier institute like IIEST and join Heritage. If you changed institute because you wanted to change your branch there but you couldn’t, then you made the right choice.
If you’re interested in higher studies after B.Tech then Heritage does offer good opportunities. ECE has huge scopes. Coming to Heritage, ECE faculty and labs are very good, the teachers will guide you in the best possible way to help you pursue your dreams. One of my friends left civil at NIT, Durgapur for ECE here. Heritage has a decent placement record. According to the recent placement highlights the average CTC offered is 4 LPA.
If you’re interested in higher studies, then choosing the branch you are passionate about is always a better option than choosing a good institute.

What is the difference between EEE, EnI and ECE at BITS, Pilani?
BITS Pilani does not offer an Electronics and Communication Engineering Program. When comes to ENL and EEE, there are some key points you should keep in mind as an applicant, which are listed below
Opportunities – In the current scenario, EEE opens up more opportunities than ENL. For Instance, the Indian Engineering Examination is only applicable to students from ECE and EEE
Campus – BITS Pilani is far better than BITS Hyderabad as they have well-equipped lab and infrastructure
Placement – The three batches can sit for the placement, but the companies give more weight to Communication and Digital Signal Processing
So, it is better to choose EEE than ENL at BITS Pilani.
Which among IIIT jabalpur CSE, NIT Jamshedpur ECE, Kurukshetra ECE, NIT Raipur CSE, NIT Hamirpur ECE, NIT Jalandhar CSE colleges is best ?
The choice of the branch is more important than choosing the institute because it determines and shapes your career. If you are interested in working in a PSU or have an interest in Electronics, choose ECE but if you have no such inclinations choose CS, the most diverse field. There are two main differences between IIITs and NITs
- IIITs are relatively new and may not have a very extensive alumni network while NITs are aged old and have an elaborate network.
- NITs provide diverse specialization in various fields while IIITs only focus on Computer Science education.
Based on the placement scenario and the academics, here is the preference order I would suggest you follow while making your choice
NIT Jalandhar CSE>IIIT Jabalpur CSE>NIT Raipur CSE>NIT Kurukshetra ECE>NIT Hamirpur ECE> NIT Jamshedpur ECE
It's important to note that this preference order is not based on any official data and is based on my own opinion only.
How is ECE at IIT, Guwahati?
ECE department of IIT Guwahati is known for its excellent research work and quality of education. The department has many professors who are specialized in Signal processing and related areas of electronics. However, the VLSI and Microelectronics group has less number of faculties around 5-6 while electromagnetics and microwaves with only two faculty.
The reason why I am telling you about the faculty count is that the optional courses and projects offered will be having approximately the same ratio of streams as that of faculty expertise. For those interested in a core career or research work need to consider this point seriously.
If you aren’t sure about your career prospects yet, explore options like IT, financial service, or MBA. Students of this branch

Which one should I pick IIITH ECE or IIT Bhubaneswar ECE?
I think you should go for ECE at IIT Bhubaneswar than IIITH ECE.
- IIT Bhubaneswar curriculums are at par with industry standards.
- It is known for its strong focus on academics and research work, you will find professors to help you throughout your course duration.
- There are both BTech and MTech programs in ECE.
- The course fee for BTech in ECE is approximately 10 Lakhs.
- In 2023, the highest package in IIT Bhubaneswar for the B.tech in the CSE department was INR 44.62 LPA.
- The average package stood at INR 22.85 LPA. Around 90% of students who opt for placements get placed at top companies such as Amazon, Microsoft, Google, etc.
Which is better: IIT Guwahati mathematics and computing or ECE?
I am assuming you have no specific interests and are looking for a branch that offers good job opportunities. In that case, Maths and Computing at IIT Guwahati is best. With the unique blend of Mathematical concepts and CS concepts, this program has become one of the most coveted ones only second to CSE. Indeed, MnC has an immense workload and is considered difficult but so is ECE. However, if you are not interested in Maths at all, and are a research enthusiast, Electronics is better than MnC. Electronics will give you an opportunity to explore both IT and hardware industries. However, it’s very difficult to secure internships in CE than MnC and this might demotivate you a bit.
Concludingly I would like to comment that MnC is a good option in the short run while ECE will prove to be beneficial in the long run.
