If you've decided to enroll at UIT RGPV and are interested in learning more about ECE, yes, compared to all other branches, ECE is a good option. As some of my friends studied there, I might be able to share some facts about the college I got to know from them.
| Categories | ECE at UIT RGPV |
| Course Fee | 1.78 lakh |
| Course Duration | 4 years |
| Highest CTC | 18 LPA |
| Average CTC | 8 LPA |
| Recruiting Companies | Capgemini, Oracle, Tech Mahindra, Accenture, etc. |
If you are in ECE, there are chances that you will be placed in MNCs such as TCS, Infosys, and other IT companies, but there are very few chances that you will be placed in a core electronics company.
VNIT, Nagpur and IIEST, Shibpur are two prime institutes of the nation and rank highly. Each has its own unique attractions and disadvantages. MME and ETC are highly demanded courses.

About the courses:
ETC graduates can work in various government jobs and a variety of development centers dealing in sales, manufacture, and services of electronics & communication customer appliances.
MME is a branch of engineering that is in huge demand. Metallurgical students can get placed in various research programs or the public and government sectors.
Admission:
The admission to both institutes is done on the basis of rank secured in the national level entrance examination i.e. JEE Main.
To be eligible for admission, one must secure 75% marks in aggregate in their intermediate graduation.

Students must compare both the programs and colleges carefully. The decision depends on an individual’s capabilities and expectations from college life.
Irrespective of the IIT tag you go for, Civil Engineering always has limited placements. Civil Engineering has become an outdated branch with little or no scope left. Although there are people who go for various options after pursuing civil engineering, which may include UPSC Examinations. What I mean is that Civil Engineering is not the right choice if your goal is placements. In that case consider ECE from ISM Dhanbad. Owing to the increased research in Machine Learning, the ECE branch is expected to grow ten folds in the coming future.
Additionally, ECE in IIT (ISM) has a pretty good coding and robotics culture, so you have both options, going for core jobs or CS jobs.
Ultimately, it’s all about personal inclinations. All I suggest is that never go for a mediocre rank just because a certain IIT is better than the other. The choice of your branch is equally important as the choice of your institute. Moreover, the Civil engineering scenario is similar in every IITs.
Yes, you will be able to build up your profile appropriately at Heritage Institute of Technology. If you are interested in Antenna Theory and Microelectronics then, this could be a precious opportunity for you as they have their own IEE EDS Chapter.
Most of the lecturers are quite disciplined about organizing a research paper for students and if you’ll be a bit serious about your course then there are high chances of your paper being published.
Moreover, there were many seniors of my friend who gone abroad and some made up to Pen State.
I have a few friends at NIT Surathkal and based on the conversation I had with them, I will say at NIT Surathkal, ECE is considered to be the toughest branch.
But the scenario at the EEE department of NIT Surathkal is slightly different and its biggest advantage is that it has a relaxed attendance policy, unlike other branches.
The recent placement statistics for the branches are as follows.

Since one of my sisters is a part of LNCT Bhopal, it is best to limit the answer to discussing it. As per what she mentions, LNCT Bhopal is a promising institute when it comes down to departments like CSE, IT, or ECE.
Here is a brief insight about the placement session conducted at LNCT Bhopal, as per the latest records:
| Institute | LNCT, Bhopal |

It provides very disciplined conduct of college life. However, it is best that you compare the prospects of both institutes and make an informed decision afterward.
Go for NIT Rourkela if you are getting a seat in CSE. It is considered as one of the best NITs for CSE.
The coding culture at the institute is outstanding and still developing day by day. You will be offered great exposure at NIT Rourkela. However, the institute has very high cut off and the competition is high.
Statistics –
| Particulars | BITS Goa | NIT Rourkela |
| Total fees | 19.19 Lakhs | 6.4 Lakhs |
| Placement percent | 90% | 85% |
| Highest salary | INR 40 LPA | INR 42 LPA |

BITS Pilani is a good option but not for ECE. It would be better if you go for CSE at NIT Rourkela.
IIITDM Kancheepuram Mechanical is better in comparison. The department has four branches under the norms of Design and Manufacturing. The academics are practical-oriented. IIITDM follows an updated curriculum that is different from the traditional course structure of most engineering colleges. The Mechanical faculties are great. Most of them have PhDs qualifications from reputed IITs and NITs.
IIITDM Kancheepuram placements are good for Mechanical. Students of the branch get recruited as Project leads, Supervisors, Design Operators, etc. The average CTC for the branch is around INR 7 LPA.
It is better to pursue civil engineering from IIT BHU in comparison to IIT Dhanbad. The reasons for choosing IIT BHU for pursuing Civil engineering are as follows:
In conclusion, selecting IIT BHU for civil engineering is a decision rooted in wisdom and potential. The institution's esteemed reputation, world-class faculty, cutting-edge research opportunities, and robust infrastructure make it a top choice for aspiring civil engineers. Choosing IIT BHU signifies a commitment to academic excellence and a stepping stone toward a promising future in the field of civil engineering.
Your decision completely depends on your priority as to what is the most important to you, the branch or the college. Being a graduate from NIT Agartala, I would suggest you go for NIT Agartala rather than NIT Mizoram.
| Categories | Production Engineering at NIT Agartala | ECE at NIT Mizoram |
| Course Fee | 6.31 lakh | 5.43 lakh |
| Highest CTC | 8-10 LPA | 6-7 LPA |
| Average CTC | 5.5 LPA | 3.5 - 4 LPA |
| Recruiting Companies | L&T, NTPC, JP Morgan, Reliance, etc. | Bharat Electronics Limited, Tech Mahindra, IBM, HP, etc. |
Both branches are equally good in their own ways. But ultimately it is your decision to choose where you want to study. It is suggested that you go for NIT Agartala as it is a more experienced institution than NIT Mizoram.
