As a former B.Tech student at MNNIT Allahabad, here is my advice on this matter-
To switch to some other branch from Production Engineering, you need to study hard during your first year. You don’t need to study as much as you did while preparing for your JEE, but you’ll have to work harder than your peers. It also depends on the number of vacant seats in the branch you wish to switch to. Many times, CS witnesses zero vacancies for branch sliding.
But do not spend all your time worrying about branch sliding. Enjoy your stay at the fresher hostels, as they are the best ones. Participate in tech events like ‘Avishkar’ and make good use of the 24*7 wifi connectivity.
Study for at least 4-5 hours a day, and score 8.5+ CGPA during first year to at least have fair chances at branch sliding.
A number of core and consulting companies visit the Electrical department of MNNIT Allahabad with good job offers. The placements are above average for Electrical students.
The average package for B.Tech and M.Tech Electrical students is 5 LPA. This amount is quite decent for students of core branches. Here’s a list of the top companies that visit the department with job offers for B.Tech and M.Tech Electrical students-
These companies visit the department for placements, but getting a job offer is dependent upon the individual’s skill set. MNNIT Allahabad offers all the placement opportunities to its M.Tech Electrical students.
\My friend studies CSE at MNNIT Allahabad. Through close contact with him over all these years, I find myself eligible to answer your question.
MNNIT intakes students with around 3000-4000 rank in JEE Mains, for its B.Tech CSE program. This shows the quality of the students at the CSE department. The average package for this degree is around 27.57 LPA through campus placements. Top companies like Facebook visit the department and offer around 1.63 CPA to the B.Tech CSE students.
The kind of competition that prevails among the students to get into B.Tech CSE at MNNIT Allahabad, and the high placement records are enough to prove the value of this program, and of MNNIT.
If you are looking for a private job, then you should consider Civil Engineering at NIT Surathkal. Here are some reasons why:
However, if you want to go for a government job, then you should go with Civil Engineering at MNNIT Allahabad. Here are some reasons why:
It is difficult to shift to a location that is far away from home. As a North Indian who was faced with a similar situation, I can completely understand your hesitation in choosing NITK.
Talking about this branch, the placements of Civil are comparatively low, irrespective of your college. Even in the IITs, a number of Civil students remain unplaced. But overall, the placements for Civil are slightly better at NIT Surathkal. NITK also has better infrastructure and a private beach.
But if you plan to prepare for UPSC or GATE, like most Civil students, MNNIT is an ideal choice. MNNIT students secure top ranks in these exams. The environment of MNNIT is ideal for the preparation of competitive exams. I am not aware of the environment provided at NITK for competitive exam preparation.
Both MNNIT and NIT Surathkal are renowned colleges. Both are good choices. You should choose between them based on personal preference. I would also recommend you approach some seniors from NITK to learn about the lifestyle and eating habits over there. Try to find out if the place will suit you or not.
It depends upon the state you belong to. I have a few friends from both NIT Calicut and NIT Allahabad and based on the reviews I got from them, l recommended that you go for NIT Allahabad. Here are some reasons why.
Having said that, you are required to concentrate on what your goals are; and consider your aims following M.Tech. Choosing an institute based on that will be better.
The answer is a bit subjective because you need to carry the things that are important to you. But as far as basic necessities are concerned, here’s a list of them-
This is all you need to carry for a smooth stay at the MNNIT Allahabad hostel.
The students of MNNIT Allahabad successfully clear GATE/ESE through their hard work and dedication.
Here are my observations in this matter-
As much as I have observed, it is their discipline and a planned routine that helps such students excel in their life.
Go for the one which is nearer. Although, IIIT Lucknow is a fair enough option to consider for chemical engineering. All the above-mentioned colleges are national-level recognized colleges.
You can go for HBTI Kanpur only when you have no other options of IITs or NITs. It is a state-level college and not as reputable as the others.
First and foremost, best of luck for your M.Tech admissions.
The M.Tech ECE placements are average at MNNIT Allahabad. The placements largely depend upon the expected number of recruitments from visiting companies for a particular year.
Companies like Qualcomm, Texas Instruments, Idea Cellular visit the campus with limited job vacancies. Other companies that make M.Tech ECE recruitments from our college include Tejas Networks, Digicomm semiconductors, Eximius, etc. Apart from that, M.Tech ECE students get the opportunity to sit for some software companies as well.
Maintain 9+ CGPA (doing so is easy) and focus more on doing projects using tools like MATLAB, NS-2 and System Vue. By doing so, you’ll increase your chances of getting a good package during the placement season.
Thus, the Communication Systems placements are quite decent at MNNIT, but everything boils down to your individual efforts.
