Which is better: software engineering at DTU or ECE at NSIT?
The answer to this question depends on the interests. It totally depends on the field of interest of the student.
- If one is interested in software and development and using devices such as laptops or mobile phones, then one can choose Software engineering at Delhi Technological University (DTU).
- If one is interested in the hardware part, then he/she should opt for ECE at NSIT.
- After all if one is still confused to make a decision for either of the streams, then only the candidate should apply for Software Engineering at DTU.
If there is still a confusion about DTU for software Engineering and ECE at NSIT they can look at the college placements for that particular course.
Placements of Software Engineering at DTU and Communications engineering at NSIT:
|
Name of the College |
Delhi Technological University (DTU) |
Netaji Subhas Institute of Technology (NSIT) |
|
Highest package offered |
1.08 crores per annum |
INR 56 Lakhs per Annum |
|
Average package recorded |
13 Lakhs per annum |
INR 10 Lakhs per Annum |
|
Top recruiting companies |
Google, Microsoft, amazon, adobe etc. |
Google, Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan, Amazon, Arcesium and Adobe |
Therefore, according to the placement averages and top companies that visit the college, Software engineering from Delhi technical university seems like a viable option. There is a wide wage gap that we can see in the tables mentioned above. Also, most of my batch mates also feels that software engineering in DTU is a better option as compared to ECE in NSIT.
Which one is better: NIT Jalandhar in CSE or PEC in ECE?
Both NIT Jalandhar, as well as the PEC Chandigarh, provides full-time 4-year long UG courses for CSE and ECE. NIT Jalandhar has been ranked 52 by the NIRF rankings this year, while the PEC Chandigarh has been ranked 68 by the NIRF. The PEC Chandigarh is a Deemed University while NIT Jalandhar is a Government Institute.
Admission:-
NIT Jalandhar offers a B.Tech in CSE, while PEC Chandigarh offers a BE course in ECE.
-
Both the Colleges consider the marks of JEE Mains and the 12th marks by creating the merit list.
-
The minimum requirement for admission is 60% in-class 12th at PEC Chandigarh, and 75% at NIT Jalandhar.
-
As both the colleges come under the government funding both of these have similar fee structures and there is no such big difference between them. The total course fee at NIT Jalandhar is 5 Lakhs, whereas the total course fee at PEC Chandigarh is 4.6 lakhs.
The cutoff rank for ECE and CS at these institutes are as follows.
|
NIT Jalandhar, CSE |
9667 (Round 7) |
|
PEC Chandigarh, ECE |
14274 (Round 7) |
Placements:-
The NIT Jalandhar has a great alumni network for the CSE department, while PEC is better in terms of placement for ECE due to the core companies visiting the campus every year.
NIT Jalandhar:
-
According to the 2020 placement statistics the placement rate for the institute is 93%.
-
The highest CTC and average CTC received by the CSE students are respectively 39.3 LPA and 13.12 LPA. Even two students from the institute got an off-campus placement of almost 65 LPA in Google last year.

PEC Chandigarh is quite famous in North India, while NITs have great recognition all over the world so it can be said in terms of brand value NIT Jalandhar is ahead. Also as far as placements are concerned, the CSE has an edge over the ECE. In every aspect may it be the placements, the overall fee structure, the faculty, the infrastructure, or the overall brand value, choosing CSE at NIT Jalandhar over the ECE in PEC Chandigarh would be more preferable.
Which is a better choice between IIIT Bangalore ECE M.Tech and NIT Surathkal Electrical?
I am listing down certain parameters for a better comparison between both these options-
- Curriculum- In terms of curriculum, IIIT Bangalore is ahead of NIT Surathkal. At IIIT B, you’ll start learning core subjects from day 1 itself. At NITs, on the other hand, first-year students are taught Physics, Chemistry, Maths, Engineering Drawing, and other subjects that won’t be useful for Electrical studies. Also, at IIITB you’ll be solving industry-relevant assignments, which will give you a good insight into the requirements of your field. The curriculum at IIITB is far more updated and advanced.
- Faculty- Even in terms of faculty, IIIT Bangalore is ahead of NIT Surathkal. They will give you all the relevant information on recent developments in the field of research.
- Placements- Both campuses are visited by well-known brands for placements. With an 8+ GPA, you’ll be eligible to sit for placements at all core companies. Maintain good scores and proper knowledge of your field to get placed in a good company, at a package of 20+ LPA CTC.
- College Life- IIIT Bangalore has a small campus and no good fests. On the other hand, NITK has a huge campus with a private beach. So NITK definitely offers a better campus life.
- Location- Location-wise, IIIT Bangalore has a greater advantage as it is located in Bangalore. NITK is located in the small town of Surathkal.
Both the colleges are really good. I would recommend you make your decision based on the branch you are interested in studying.
Which is better, NIT Jamshedpur for ECE or NIT Warangal for Chemical?
The answer depends on what is more important for you - the college or the course.
NIT Warangal is overall ahead of NIT Jamshedpur in many respects. NIT Warangal offers better facilities, better academic infrastructure, and more opportunities. The academic infrastructure of NIT Jamshedpur isn’t that good, and the labs contain outdated equipment.
But if you have an interest in a particular branch, go for it, regardless of which institute you get.
Here are the placement stats for NIT Warangal Chemical and NIT Jamshedpur ECE Placements 2023:
|
Course |
NIT Warangal Chemical |
NIT Jamshedpur ECE |

100% |
|
Average CTC |
INR 14.8 LPA |
INR 22.03 LPA |
|
Median CTC |
INR 11.77 LPA |

Placement-wise, NIT Jamshedpur ECE has better statistics. But if you have an interest in your branch, you will definitely get good placements.
Thus, for better facilities, go to NIT Warangal. But if ECE is what interests you, NIT Jamshedpur will provide you with good placement offers in this branch.
What is the placement scenario of ECE in NIT Patna? What is the average package of this branch?
As per the placement data available for 2023 up till now, ECE at NIT Patna has recorded its highest CTC at 45 LPA. The average package stands at 12.52 LPA and the median package stands at 8.50 LPA. The placement percentage for ECE stands at 85.07% as of now. The branch is performing quite well in the placements.
Some of the companies that have visited the NIT Patna campus for placements include- Adobe, Amazon, Atlassian, Byju’s, Cashfree, CRED, Delhivery, Fastenal India, Fractal Analytics, Google, IBM, o9 Solutions, OLX and Oracle among others.
I would suggest you look at the median salary rather than the average salary during placement analysis. This is because the former is a more reliable way of finding out the salary trend for that particular placement season.
Thus, ECE has shown good placement figures in the NIT Patna 2023 placement drive.
Which one is better, ECE at ABES Engineering College or CSE in ABESIT?

How is the EC dept. at CUSAT?
One of my friends completed his BTech in Electronics and Communication Engineering from CUSAT. He was extremely disappointed with the standard of academics there and even warned his friend from joining it.
- The quality of education imparted is poor but the exams conducted are very challenging. The grading is also tough and getting good marks is very difficult.
- There is no transparency in checking of exam papers and often favoritism can be seen.
- The recruitment process of the professors is also manipulated and many get back door entry through political influence.
- There is rivalry between the permanent professors and the students who are victims of these conflicts.
- The campus placement opportunities are non-existent and companies rarely recruit students for core jobs.
It’s best to go for a different department or a different institute altogether.
