No, IIT Bhubaneswar ECE is not better than JU CSE. According to NIRF India Engineering ranking for 2019 JU ranked 13, whereas IIT Bhubaneswar was at 17.

JU may have its own problems but it still remains a university with a great reputation especially for CSE. Almost all big known companies visit the campus for placement for CSE. According to 2019 placement records, the CSE department of JU has some unbeatable records with 90% of the students getting placed. The average salary package offered was INR 12 LPA and may go as high as INR 40 LPA. Major recruiters of CSE department of JU(2019)- Amazon, Microsoft, Paypermint D.E.Shaw, Wipro Turbo, Samsung (Bangalore, Noida, Delhi), Goldman Sachs, Adobe, Synopsys, Work Applications (Singapore), SAP Labs, C-DOT, Siemens, Oracle, Reliance, PriceWaterhouse Cooper, G.E.Digital, Reve System, Dynamic Digital Technology, MU Sigma and many more.

Since IIT Bhubaneswar ECE started in 2016 and the students will graduate in 2020. Although the placement record for other branches is good, around 10 LPA for Electrical Engineering.

IIT Bhubaneswar may provide more exposure and a shiny IIT tag but between IIT Bhubaneswar ECE and JU CSE, JU CSE will be the better choice.

Both RL Jalappa and Panimalar are good institutions for ECE. Before choosing an institution consider important facts like the faculty, the infrastructure, the placements, events, etc. The placement at RL Jalappa has been a big issue which still exists now. Overall the college seems to be average when it comes to placements. The Panimalar Engineering College also has a good placement cell. Visiting the college websites will give a better idea about the college.

While looking for colleges also go through other institutions offering this course and compare their attributes. There are other universities in India offering better placements, infrastructure and faculty Some of them are Lovely Professional University (LPU), BITS Pilani, Delhi College of Engineering, VIT Vellore, etc.

The table given below shows factual information of both institutions:

These universities provide industry training, exposure and skill development programs for their students, to make them accustomed with the corporate world. Choose a college that will provide all these opportunities and the required exposure for working in the industries.

According to NIRF rankings 2020, the rank of MNNIT Allahabad is #48^th for B.Tech courses and the rank of JU is #117^th for B.Tech courses (in India). MNNIT Allahabad has more number of qualified faculties in their institution as compared to JU. JU as well as MNNIT Allahabad are approved by AICTE. But does the institution give good placements to their students? Let’s determine by the subsequent data.

Intake procedure

• JU:The selection is completed on the basis of the merit list. The university conducts an entrance exam namelyJET for admission.
• MNNIT Allahabad:The candidate must have completed his/her 10+2 in Science stream acquiring a minimum of 75% marks in the examination.Passing the entrance exam, i.e., JEE Main conducted by CBSE is necessary.

Placements

JU:

• Recently around 250 companies visited the campus for selections.
• Some of the frequently visited companies in JU are Dell, IBM, Coca Cola, Aircel, Airtel, Axis Bank, Bajaj and many more.

• Cut off of other state candidate for the general category is ranging between 4615-6752 and for home state general candidate ranged from 3600-7128.

Now on comparing the above data, the candidate might have come to know which institution is better. One should not only look for placement rate and salary as the key point to decide which institution is better. It is always advisable to look for other factors also like faculty, city life, which atmosphere suits him/her better, extra facilities, extracurricular activities, etc. Then a conclusion can be drawn to know which institution is better for them.

ECE and IT are two completely different streams in the field of Engineering and hence, one must go for the stream he/she wants to pursue. However, choosing the right college to build a student’s career is also important. So the following points can be taken into consideration for choosing between IIEST Shibpur and Delhi Technological University(DTU). IIEST Shibpur is ranked 20th in India by NIRF / MHRD in the Year 2019. Whereas, DTU presently ranks 62 by the NIRF.

Cut-off: Both the institute takes admission based on a valid score in JEE Main followed by Joint Admission Counselling.

• At IIEST Shibpur the JEE MAIN cut-off rank for taking admissions in IT was 9524 - 17031 in 2019.

• At DTU the cut-off rank in ECE was 22258, in the same year.

Fees:

• At DTU the average fees per year are 1.95 lakhs.

• For IIEST Shibpur the average fees per year are 1.37 lakhs.

Thus in terms of fees, BTech in IIEST Shibpur costs less than that of DTU.

Placement:

• Headed by a Renowned Ex IIT Director, IIEST Shibpur got the highest placement record of 75% in IT, last year. It witnessed the highest salary package of INR 39.12 LPA.

• Whereas, 170 out of 192 that is 88.5% of students got placed in ECE in DTU. The highest salary for B.Tech ECE during the last placement was INR 39 LPA.

So, DTU is much ahead in terms of placements.

You can apply for any of the two colleges keeping in mind the above-mentioned comparisons. DTU and IIEST Shibpur are the two most renowned colleges in India. However, IIEST is ranked higher and offers better placement than DTU. Nevertheless, the first thing that you have to consider is which stream you want to study and then decide a college depending upon that. Now, if you haven't decided anything and is confused between the above two streams, then studying IT at IIEST Shibpur is a better option.
