One of my friends from high school used to be a student of IIITDM Kanchipuram and in his opinion, ECE at that institute has a far better system of progressing with the course than the NIT system.
IIITDM Kanchipuram also boasts of having a superior faculty. IT has also been derived from the ECE. Both hardware and software are involved in ECE. So, if you are more inclined towards Physics and Maths, go for ECE.

| Recruiting Companies | Barclays, Adobe, Oracle, HCL, etc. | Wipro, UBM, TCS, Value Service, etc. |
Thus it is suggested that you go for ECE at IIITDM Kanchipuram than IT at NIT Raipur. ECE also has better scope and opportunities than IT. Graduating with ECE you can sit for placements of both core sectors and corporate sectors.

Is mechanical or ECE better in NIT Calicut?
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.
Which is better, IIIT Lucknow for CSE or NIT Patna for ECE?
I have friends studying at both IIIT Lucknow and NIT Patna, and according to their first-hand experience, IIIT Lucknow is the better choice here. Here’s what you need to know.
- Curriculum: IIIT Lucknow has a great curriculumin terms of syllabus, classes, and coding culture. The competitive environment drives you to excel in every field.
- Facilities: You will get high-tech facilities in IIIT Lucknow designed for engineering and coding. Events like Hackathons and other tech fests are equivalent to IIIT Allahabad.
- Placements: My friend who completed his B.Tech from IIIT Lucknow experienced that your placement highly depends on how much you use online videos, courses to excel in your respective branch. Overall you need to be active and focus on improving your skills which might help you grab decent job packages. Moreover, the highest CTC recorded to 43 LPA while the average CTC is 18.4 LPA.
Check out some of the reasons why you shouldn’t choose NIT Patna.
- Poor infrastructure: Unfortunately, the institute is not making much effort to improve facilities, organizing tech events. This is because they are currently focusing on the construction of the new campus of NIT Patna at Bihta near IIT Patna which is bound to be completed by 2024.
- Poor accommodation: You will have to adjust to double or triple seater rooms because you won’t get a single-seater room in all of your 4 years. Also, the PG options are not good in the surrounding area.
- Poor mess food: Just like the infrastructure, the Hostel Mess Committee is too reluctant to improve food quality in spite of knowing everything. Also, you won’t get any good quality restaurants nearby or any online food ordered after 10 pm.
- Outdated curriculum: Institute is still following the old curriculum and has outdated labs. Even the Classrooms are too outdated with broken benches and no Projectors are used to teach.
- Lack of extracurricular: There is a lack of proper clubs, sports facilities, tech-fests, and coding culture.
Overall, ECE at NIT Patna is not a good option. Go for CSE IIIT Lucknow any day for a great curriculum, great facilities, great location, and great placements. Also, the CSE branch gets you more chances of better placements in most colleges in India.
I left aerospace engineering at IIEST and joined Heritage Institute of Technology, Kolkata with Electronics and communication engineering a year later. Was it the right decision?
Well, I cannot say whether the decision you took is right or wrong because if you have taken the decision you have given certain thought and time into it.
Very few have the guts to leave a premier institute like IIEST and join Heritage. If you changed institute because you wanted to change your branch there but you couldn’t, then you made the right choice.
If you’re interested in higher studies after B.Tech then Heritage does offer good opportunities. ECE has huge scopes. Coming to Heritage, ECE faculty and labs are very good, the teachers will guide you in the best possible way to help you pursue your dreams. One of my friends left civil at NIT, Durgapur for ECE here. Heritage has a decent placement record. According to the recent placement highlights the average CTC offered is 4 LPA.
If you’re interested in higher studies, then choosing the branch you are passionate about is always a better option than choosing a good institute.
