What is the scope of biomedical engineering from NIT Raipur?
When I first got into Biomedical at NIT Raipur, I was doubtful whether this was the right decision for me. I wasn’t sure of its scope. But, as I got accustomed to this field of study, I became sure of my choice.
The faculty of the Biomedical department at NIT Raipur is quite friendly and interactive.
In this program, one learns about the design of equipment used in hospitals. In every government and private hospital, there are at least two vacancies available.
The branch deals with 30% Biology and 70% electronics and instrumentation. Most of the subjects are the same as electronics. The latest technology is being developed in this field at a rapid rate. As a student of this branch, you can work on projects like bio3d printers, EMD, BCI, Prosthetics Arm, etc.
As far as campus placements are concerned, they are not good. You can prepare for GATE in Instrumentation, or try for off-campus placements. You can also sit for IT placements at NIT Raipur. Biomedical students from our college intern at prestigious institutions like AIIMS Raipur, IIT Gandhinagar, KIHT Visakhapatnam, and other IITS. If you work hard, you can even intern at MIT, USA.
Thus, Biomedical from NIT Raipur has a lot of scope, given that you set your priorities straight. I recommend you join this course after thoroughly researching its syllabus.
Should I go for biotech at NIT Raipur and hope for a branch upgrade, or join some Northeastern NITs/IIITs? What are other options?
First of all, branch change is not as easy as it sounds and one should not take admissions solely on the pretext of changing their branches. There is intense competition, especially for the top branches and you will have to work hard to maintain a good score.
The availability of seats depends on the number of vacancies currently in that branch. The vacancies are the least for CSE and Mechanical while the cutoffs are the maximum for these branches.
Moreover, the college will be a new place for you so you may take some time to settle. The pressure of scoring a high CGPA right from day one might be too much of a burden. You will have to sacrifice extracurricular activities and also minimize hanging out with friends. If you think you can somehow manage and work hard you should give it a try!
When will the classes start for 1st year B Tech in NIT Raipur?
The administration of the institute does not make this decision.
This decision as to when the classes of the first year can commence is taken by the Joint Seat Allocation Authority (JOSAA) which is in charge of the admission process. The institute can make the decision from the second year onwards.
Generally, the classes will start a week after all the counseling rounds have been concluded. They usually begin at the end of July. The classes for the first year in the NITs start together.
It would be preferable if you come one or two days prior to the beginning of the classes to get acquainted. That is if you are planning to live in the hostel.

Is NIT Raipur's IT branch good? Is there any chance of branch upgradation in NIT Raipur from IT to CSE?
Well, as far as my senior has said, to each its own. What matters at the end of the day is what you make of it. Much like CSE, IT basically entails coding. Reading about Anudeep Nekkati can provide you some inspiration that can help you in kickstarting your endeavors. A company that takes CSE students also accepts IT students. With hard work and a little bit of luck, in four years, you might end up in such a prosperous place you wouldn’t have imagined.
My senior prefers NITs over private universities. In NIT Raipur, you will be capable of switching to CSE if you want. A CPI of 9+ would do the trick. There are endless opportunities and you will have fewer restrictions to pursue your interest.
The placements of IT/CSE have improved significantly over the years. As for the upgradation from IT to CSE, that is also easy if you study with diligence.
Which branch is better in NIT RAIPUR computer science or electronic and telecommunications?
Both the branches are great in their own way, however, Computer Science holds an edge over ECE. Check out the following reasons to know why.

- Most IT companies come for campus recruitment. Therefore, you’ll be given preference if you belong to the CSE branch.
- You will not be solely dependent on college for learning skills. CSE/IT students have broader prospectus outside college too, due to coding culture and other such skills. You will not be bound by the 'IIT-NIT' thing.

Undoubtedly, choosing CSE will be much beneficial to you in terms of placement, facilities, and additional skills.

Am I eligible for HS quota in NIT Raipur?
NIT Raipur is one of the most famous and prestigious colleges in our country and getting a seat in this college is a matter of pride for every student. Securing a seat is very tough among lakhs of students throughout the country who compete for a seat here.
One has to score more than 75% in his/her board exams and then appear for JEE (Joint Entrance Examination) to get a seat here. And Home State quota is more advantageous if you appear for your board exams under the Chhattisgarh board as your 12th marksheet is considered as proof for the home state quota.
So if you want to get benefits of the home state quota then it is advisable to appear for your 12th boards under Chhattisgarh government board.

So it takes a lot of hard work and effort behind getting a seat in this college.
