ECE has more job opportunities than Mechanical Engineering. After completing Mechanical Engineering, you will get jobs in PSUs, in government organizations.

• If you are looking for a job after B.Tech or M.Tech then ECE will be a good option for you.
• But if you want to pursue higher studies and looking to go into a research field then choose according to your interest.

In the following table, you will get basic information about Mechanical at NIT Calicut and ECE at NIT Jamshedpur.

Therefore, both Mechanical at NIT Calicut and ECE at NIT Jamshedpur are good options. It all depends on which field you want to make your career. ECE will be the right choice if you want to be a part of the corporate sector after completing B.Tech or M.Tech.

Here are the 2020 cutoff trends for NIT Calicut.

I have a few friends from NIT Calicut and according to them, you should choose CSE, if you have the option. You will have better placement opportunities from CSE. The faculty of the department is also great. 

Yes, there is internal sliding in NIT Calicut. For the M.Tech course, students get the chance for internal sliding during or before the college spot round. For the B.Tech course, usually, the students are given a chance for internal sliding after their first year.

However, there are conditions to change your branch from one to another at NIT Calicut –

• You should have a minimum CGPA of 8.0 to remain eligible for the internal sliding process.
• A maximum of two people can come and go out in a particular branch.

Contact your program coordinator to know the details of internal sliding at NIT Calicut. I hope this answered your question.

If you are planning between these two, NITC CSE is a really good option. They offer cushy packages and decent companies visit the institute.

According to the recent placement report, the highest package offered is INR 49.75 lakhs per annum with an average of INR 11.58 lakhs per annum. A lot of companies like Aakash AESL, Bosch, Nokia, and HDFC visit the college.

When it comes to MNNIT the course curriculum of both IT and CSE is the same and there is no such difference overall. The placements are good too. The highest CTC offered is INR 49 lakhs per annum whereas the average salary is INR 10.28 lakhs per annum. Companies like BYJU, Amazon, and Capgemini hire students regularly from the campus.

Eventually, it boils down to which college meets your needs better. 

As some of my friends studied in NIT Calicut, I might be able to answer your question. Let me share the facts I got to know from my friends. 

• The placement is decent and at par with most of the other NITs in the country. 
• Moreover, the packages of the circuit branches (like CSE, ECE, EEE) have been excellent. 
• Here the companies offer higher CTC to the students because of the brand name of NIT. 
• Students get to sit for placements in top MNCs and start-ups. 
• In college, the ECE department has the best professors and well-equipped laboratories.

The packages of NIT Calicut are not low. The placement statistics of the institute are below.

NIT Calicut is a prestigious engineering college in Kerala with 23rd rank in NIRF Ranking for Engineering 2020. The college is Central Government funded, and cream students who have cracked JEE Mains cut-off for NITC get admission. 

The college has diversity. Students from different cultures and backgrounds unite in the college. Overall, the college gives ample opportunities to the students.

If you are interested in coding and aim to work in good corporate firms, then it is suggested that you go for CSE at NIT Calicut. But if you want an IIT tag, you can opt for IIT BHU. But this won't matter much afterward.

So, if you are focused on doing research then Chemical Engineering at IIT BHU will be a good option. You can also learn coding on the sidelines, which might be beneficial if you sit for placements.

The choice of studying in a college pursuing a particular subject is entirely up to you. Check where your strengths and weaknesses lie and then choose accordingly. Both institutes are good in their own way. But it is your hard work and dedication that will prove if CSE or Chemical will be good for you. 

According to one of my friends' experiences, preparing for M.Tech along with your studies is very difficult. Often you do not get stipulated time to prepare for ESE due to the mini-projects and assignments that you get very frequently. 

Also, you need to especially take care of your CGPA, but if you are not worried about the CGPA you can go ahead with preparing at the full pace like few other students who do the same.

Thus, we can conclude that preparing for ESE simultaneously is really a very big task. If you have the caliber of doing the same, you can follow your will and start accordingly.

It depends on the course you're interested in and if you're in the home state category or not. If you are from your native state, you should have a minimum of 130 points; if not, add 20 to 30 points more.

Recent cut-off stats of NIT Trichy for popular courses is given below. 

Anywhere between 200 and 300 will get you a good nit with the branch you're after. So 200 should suffice.
