Is mechanical or ECE better in NIT Calicut?

KS
Karan Solanki Posted On : August 20th, 2021
Studied at NIT Calicut (2019)

According to some of my friends studying at NIT Calicut, the ECE branch is better in placements than the Mechanical Engineering branch.

  • The placement greatly depends on the Aptitude and Academic record of the candidate. 
  • The Teaching quality of both of these departments is not so good. 
  • The candidate needs to work by themselves. The faculty might not be cooperative.
  • Other than just depending on library books, candidates can prepare by learning from the internet as per the syllabus. 
  • It is important to know that the departments are very strict about their attendance policy. 80% attendance is mandatory for all students. 
Categories ECE at NIT Calicut
Course Fee 5.42 lakhs
Placement Percentage 89%
Highest CTC 29 LPA
Average CTC 11 LPA
Recruiting Companies Infosys, TCS, Accenture, IBM, etc.

Only of the bright thing at NIT Calicut is that the exams are conducted only from the taught portions of the professors and not the whole syllabus. The course curriculum is a bit old and not current industry-oriented. The campus life, facilities and hostels are good. Students here have a decent college life with less extravaganza.

PR
Preeyesh Rajpal Posted On : April 7th, 2021
Studies Mechanical Engineering at SRM Sonepat

If you are considering the main SRM campus, you don’t need to hesitate. The campus is quite good. The faculties might not be great, but there are departments where they are found to be standard.

The hostels however are not quite up to the mark, so you can opt to search for a PG. The student crowd is quite impressive. You will be among talented peers. Also, SRM has a standard placement record. 

Additionally, the other bonus point is that this institute is one of the most known private universities all through India. VIT, Manipal, BITS being the other three, while Thapar RVCE and so on follow straightaway.

A brief highlight of both institutes is briefed below.

Parameters 

SRM Sonepat

UPES

Average CTC

12.50 LPA

45 LPA

Highest CTC

5.11 LPA

5.25 LPA

Fees

10.85 lakhs

13.85 lakhs

If you want to go for Mechanical Engineering, then you must go to SRM Sonepat. It is due to the fact that UPES is good basically for Petroleum, Aerospace Engineering and a few of the CS Branches, while SRM Sonepat can be a good choice for mechanical engineering.

How is a 5-year dual degree in mechanical engineering with manufacturing engineering at IIT Bhubaneswar?

FF
Firdausi Faruqi Posted On : August 14th, 2020
CSE from Indian Institute of Technology Bhubaneswar (2019)

By looking at the recent trends in the Indian Economy, it can be observed that there is a lack of opportunities for Mechanical Engineering students. The demand for Mechanical and Civil engineers has dropped down and the recruitment is usually in Non-core companies. Only students from Top-Tier colleges are placed in great companies where they move on to become managers.

About the 5-year Dual degree at IIT Bhubaneshwar, the student life is good there although there are strict rules and restrictions. The average package offered at this IIT was 11.44 LPA and the highest was around 39 LPA in last year’s placement drive. The college provides for a special internship program and a summer training program.

Hostel life is good and the hostel rooms are allotted on a single room occupant basis. The food provided is decent. Faculty are very well versed with their subjects and easily approachable as they come from different IITs. the sports facility is fine and many events also take place around the year. The Labs provided are modern but insufficient if compared to other old IIT’s.

Venkata Surya Aakash Satyavada Posted On : April 15th, 2025

I applied to IITs, NITs, GFTIs and VIT apart from BITS. I got confirmed admission into VIT while the process for other colleges was ongoing. I withdrew from the process of other as soon as I got into BITS. I also withdrew my application from VIT. I chose this college over other colleges is because BITS is known for its excellence and great alumni network . It also has one of the most successful statistics of placements over other private colleges. The admission to BITS is done through BITSAT. It takes place every year along with Jee Mains and Jee Advance . The cutoffs vary every year for the courses and can be easily found on Google. This exam is of high eminence and is held high in place along with the JEE exams. After scoring well, the course selection and campus selection process is done through BITS's own portal and is solely based on the marks you score in BITSAT.
