In terms of pursuing electrical engineering, IIT Dhanbad would be the better option. In terms of placement, faculty, ranking, and academic excellence IIT Dhanbad is much better than NIT Calicut. Though both institutions have proven their excellence but few reasons to choose IIT Dhanbad are as follows:
|
Particulars |
Statistics 2023 |
|
Highest package |
INR 56 LPA |
|
Average package |
INR 16-17 LPA |
|
Top recruiters |
Google, Microsoft, Oracle, Goldman Sachs, etc. |
IIT Dhanbad would be an excellent choice for mechanical engineering study, to sum up. With its well-established reputation for ages, qualified teachers, job prospects, and a well-equipped campus. It fosters an environment that is favorable for both academic and personal development.
Whether aerospace at IIT Madras is better or ECE at IIT Bhubaneswar is better this choice solely depends on your career goals, subject choices, and preference.
It depends on where you want to live and study. If you are comfortable staying in Pondicherry and are interested in ECE, go with PEC, which is one of India's oldest institutes.
On the other hand, SASTRA University is a more recent private prestigious university and it has great infrastructure facilities and placement record. BioTech in Sastra has IT placements with a lot of companies whereas ECE in PEC has good placement but is not that great.
The table shows a brief overview of the institution:
| Particulars | PEC | SASTRA |
| Highest CTC | 10 LPA | 28.3 LPA |
| Average CTC | 4 LPA | 9.3 LPA |
| Fees | 3.77 LPA | 6.20 LPA |
You can opt for PEC as its fee is lower than SASTRA. However, go for it only if you are getting a seat in ECE. If not, SASTRA can be considered as a final option.
Yes, they are enough but only if you do not miss a single class, and are very serious about every assignment and internal mark.
Your professors and seniors would definitely suggest you the reference books and you should their advice. Everything is not about marks. You should have surplus knowledge about your subjects which brings completeness into the course.
Due to time limitations, everything cannot be taught in the class. Also, engineering is beyond your semester syllabus.
Yes, you can change your branch from metallurgy to ECE after the 1st year. At IIEST Shibpur only 20% of students in each branch are given that choice except the architecture branch. There are the following conditions for changing branches:
Allocations are given on the basis of the above conditions and if there is a tie between two students then the tie is broken through the CGPA marks in physics, chemistry, and math. One who has the highest marks gets the seat.
IIT Dharwad is a recently established institute that attracts fewer companies and has a small alumni pool. On the other hand, BITS Pilani has graduated more than 50 batches.
The best option would be to take ECE in BITS Hyderabad or ENI in BITS Pilani. The reason I am against you joining a new IIT is that these IITs are not well-known among big companies and some recruiters don’t even consider them worthy of visiting. They know that these IITs can never be at par with the old ones. So it’s better to look beyond the IIT tag and go for BITS Pilani, an excellent choice indeed!
ECE and EEE, most of the syllabus is same and the subjects are considered as electrical core subjects like analog, digital electronics, signals, networks, etc. With courses being almost the same, the comparison comes down to other aspects of institutes.
If you aim to get good placement packages after finishing your degree to work then you should opt EE in IIT Bhubaneswar. In 2019 placement 86% EE batch was employed. PSUs hire directly from IITs with the new mandate by the government which gives students in IIT to pursue a career in PSU without having to clear GATE. Although for ECE the placement of IIIT Hyderabad is higher (10 LPA) compared to IIT Bhubaneswar.
IIIT Hyderabad also provides great infrastructure and laboratories and have been very well funded for research papers. IITs get their funds from the Govt. and both institutes are on equal pace in this aspect.
Campus life can be one more aspect that students may find interesting while selecting the course and college. Academics in IIIT Hyderabad ECE is considered to be advantageous compared to IIT Bhubaneswar EE, because of IIT BBS is a new institute.
Faculty members at IIIT Hyderabad are also some of the highly eligible professors and some of them are from old IITs.
Overall, when comparing both courses and institutes, IIIT Hyderabad comes on top, but the choice should be branch instead of college when both have equal pros and cons.
I have cousins from both NIT Goa, and Jamia Millia Islamia and as they mention, the latter is famous for its CSE course. Usually, students do not leave the opportunity to go for the CSE course of Jamia Millia Islamia.
| Categories | ECE at NIT Goa | CSE at Jamia Millia Islamia |
| Course Fee | 5.38 lakh | 64,600 |
| Highest CTC | 13 LPA | 20 LPA |
| Average CTC | 6.5 LPA | 8-10 LPA |
| Recruiting Companies | L&T, Microsoft, Siemens, Infosys, etc. | TCS, Wipro, Adobe, Cognizant, etc. |
Apart from these few, it depends upon how hard you work. Be it ECE or CSE, you have to work hard and utilize the time and opportunities you get while studying in college.
If you are trying to compare two colleges, such as NSIT and DTU, it is recommended to choose the one that is closer to your place. This will make it easier for you to commute, save time, and avoid any unnecessary expenses related to travel and accommodation.
However, when it comes to comparing NSUT (NSIT) and MNNIT Allahabad, NSUT (NSIT) does have an advantage. NSUT (NSIT) is considered one of the top engineering colleges in India, known for its excellent infrastructure, faculty, and research facilities. It offers a wide range of undergraduate and postgraduate programs in engineering, science, and technology.
On the other hand, MNNIT Allahabad is also a reputed engineering college but is located in a smaller city as compared to NSUT (NSIT). The city may not offer the same exposure and opportunities that Delhi can provide, especially in terms of internships, industrial visits, and campus placements.
Therefore, if you have the option to choose between NSUT (NSIT) and MNNIT Allahabad, it may be advisable to opt for NSUT (NSIT) if you are looking for a top-tier engineering college in a metropolitan city. However, this decision ultimately depends on your individual preferences and priorities, and you should weigh all the factors before making a final decision.
One of my acquaintances has a better opinion on the same. He says that if you opt to take admission at IIIT Allahabad, then you are more likely to have better opportunities in the IT field.
Yet, here is a brief data about the overall placement, course fees and more about both the institutes,

However, in most cases, 10-15% of students choose ECE companies, but ever since software companies have become high-paying, several students tend to rather opt for an IT job profile.
