NIT Jamshedpur for CSE and NIT Calicut for ECE both have good placements. It depends on you which branch you are interested in.
One of my friends is studying at NIT Jamshedpur so I will give you insight into the institute’s branch.
In the following table, you will get basic information about NIT Jamshedpur, CSE and NIT Calicut, ECE programs.
Category | NIT Jamshedpur CSE | NIT Calicut ECE |
Fees | INR 1.03 Lakh (1st Year) | INR 1.37 Lakh |
Duration | 4 years | 4 years |
Recruiters | Jaro Education, Byju’s, MatrixCare, HexaView, etc. | Morgan Stanley, Goldman Sachs, Google, Amazon, etc. |
Average CTC | INR 15 LPA | INR. 11 LPA |
Highest CTC | INR 37.5 LPA | INR. 38 LPA |
Therefore, CSE from NIT Jamshedpur and ECE from NIT Calicut both are good with good placement statistics. It depends on you which branch of study you are interested in and want to pursue your career in.
If finances are an issue, then BITS Goa isn’t the right place to go unless you come under the EWS category (total family income less than 11 LPA).
BITS Goa is one of the most expensive engineering colleges in India. A B.E degree can end up costing about 19 to 20 lakhs for 4 years and an M.Sc degree about 19 lakhs. If you are from general category, BITS Goa will dent your wallet for the next few years.
Besides being one of the best engineering NITs in the country, the fees for NIT Calicut are much, much lighter around 5.5 lakhs for 4 years. Getting a Circuit branch is no easy task as the cutoffs are pretty high. If you’re getting ECE here, and money is an issue, then this is the place to go.
Although, if you’re under the EWS section, BITS Goa will offer scholarships based on your performance in the first year. If you’re able to obtain a CGPA of 8.5+, then a scholarship of 80% is awarded. For a CGPA of 7.5, a scholarship of 40% is awarded, and so on.
NIT Trichy is always considered superior to its counterparts and rightly so. The institute has a record of excellent placements, a competitive environment, and a highly learned faculty pool. NIT Calicut is well-known for its exceptionally good CSE department.
So, I think the decision of choosing between NIT Trichy ECE and NIT Calicut depends more on personal preferences than the institute. However you would like to consider the following points before making the final decision,
If you look at the overall picture, both colleges have excellent departments and offer similar opportunities, so the major determining criteria should be your branch preference. If you are interested in electronic systems and communication, go for NIT Trichy ECE but if you have an interest in programming NIT Calicut CSE is better for you.
NITC is pretty good in terms of both curriculum and placement. But ECE in general is a vast branch where you have to study bits and pieces of electronics, Electrical engineering, Communication Engineering, and Computer Science. Initially, it might seem a bit overwhelming but once you get the hang of it, you will understand the beauty of the subject.

Overall, NIT Calicut is a good University to pursue ECE at. In the end, it comes down to your dedication and passion for the subject.
The aspiring candidate should not think about this right now. As we all know, the cutoff trends change every year. If the candidate wants an approximate idea, they need to add +15 marks to the previous year’s cutoff marks. The cutoff marks differ for home and other state students.
Here is the NIT Calicut JEE Main 2020 cutoff.
Categories | All India (Male) | All India (Female) |
General | 6864 | 8539 |
OBC | 2285 | 3313 |
EWC | 1152 | 1365 |
SC | 1509 | 1961 |
ST | 467 | 906 |
It is time to stop thinking about the cutoffs and minimum marks and focus on the preparation. One should always prepare for greater marks than the required cutoff.
At first, the term 'best faculty' is not an extensive classification basis. As we know Electronics and Communication are a vast field of engineering, and here we can classify roughly into Digital and analog domains.
The faculty members have different specializations and some are indeed true masters of their trend.
Dr. Sathi Devi and Dr. Elisabeth Elias are also doing remarkable work in their fields.
Dr. Praveen Sankaran, Ameer P M, Dr. Rama Subramanian, and Abhilash are some of the coolest ones among the faculty members and personal favorites of most of the students. They just not come to deliver lectures but also motivate the students and share their industrial experience.
I have a friend who studies in the ECE branch at NIT Warangal. I will break down his overall experience into simpler aspects
Academics: The curriculum and academic life at NIT Warangal for ECE students is a bit more challenging than others. Some semesters have too many courses and it’s difficult to get free time. The grades are given a lot of importance and students face tough competition. Also, the faculty is not very approachable.

NIT Warangal ECE is a great choice in terms of job and academic opportunities. So try to maintain a good GP to avail the maximum benefits.
Choosing between CSE and ECE is a matter purely based on personal inclinations. While one branch may be good for you, it may not be for someone else, and vice versa.
However, in terms of both academics and placements, NIT Warangal clearly has the upper hand. NIT Warangal is among the top 3 NITs and is better than NIT Calicut in almost every aspect. Its laboratory facilities and faculty are among the best.

Although NIT Calicut has an edge in terms of the highest CTC, NIT Warangal's average package beats it. Average packages are a better means of evaluating the placement scenario, and that being said, NIT Warangal is a better option.
According to some of my friends studying at NIT Calicut, the ECE branch is better in placements than the Mechanical Engineering branch.

Only of the bright thing at NIT Calicut is that the exams are conducted only from the taught portions of the professors and not the whole syllabus. The course curriculum is a bit old and not current industry-oriented. The campus life, facilities and hostels are good. Students here have a decent college life with less extravaganza.
One of my friends is a student of NIT Calicut and according to him, the CS department is the best in the institute. It is also among the top 3 CS branches in NITs.

Overall, NIT Calicut offers a great CS program.
