What should I choose: Electronics and Instrumentation in BITS Pilani Goa Campus, Electrical and Electronics in NIT Surathkal?
To make an informed decision, it's crucial to understand that changing your choice based on the college you get into won't have much impact. You should acknowledge that Electronics and Instrumentation in BITS Pilani Goa Campus and Electrical and Electronics in NIT Surathkal are two distinct engineering streams with different colleges, and both colleges are excellent in their own right.
Your selection of the branch should entirely depend on your interest. If you are intrigued by electrical or electronic circuits or have been fascinated by electricity since childhood, EEE is the perfect fit for you. Conversely, if you have an interest in instruments or daily life gadgets that make our lives more comfortable, you should opt for E&I.
Keep in mind that EEE focuses on circuit design and development, while E&I focuses on circuit implementation in industries or the real world. EEE is a core branch that concentrates on its domain, but E&I combines all other core branches such as Mechanical, Electronics, Electrical, and even Computer Science.
Both EEE and E&I offer excellent job prospects in the market. E&I graduates can work in core fields or software industries. There is a plethora of industries related to electrical and electronics, so EEE also offers ample job opportunities. Therefore, both branches are exceptional in their way. Choose the one that piques your interest and don't sacrifice your area of interest due to college selection.
Which should I choose: Electronics and Instrumentation in BITS Pilani Goa Campus, or Electrical and Electronics in NIT Surathkal?
Since both the colleges are considered highly reputable and among the best in the country, you should focus on the branch. The choice of the branch directly depends on your inclinations and future goals.
To make it easier for you I have explained each branch in short:
Electrical and Instrumentation:
- Instrumentation engineering is the engineering specialization that focuses primarily on the principle and operation of measuring instruments that are used in the design and configuration of automated systems in electrical, pneumatic domains, etc.
- These engineers usually work at chemical or manufacturing plants and their job role involves improving productivity, reliability, safety, optimization, and stability.
- They are responsible for designing devices that measure physical quantities such as pressure, flow, and temperature. You will require a lot of knowledge in physics much more than electromagnetic theory.
Electrical and Electronics:
- In this students learn to design electronic circuits, and computer systems and also develop control systems. Electronics play a key role in the implementation and control of electrical machines.
- The course mainly focuses on designing and testing ICs, inductors, capacitors and resistors and includes fundamentals and principles of physics, mathematics, computer science, and project management.
- The sub-disciplines of this branch are power, control, electronics, microelectronics and Signal Processing, Telecommunications, Instrumentation and Computers.
Although the choice depends on your own interests, EE has a better scope than EIE.
Which should I choose between PICT, MIT Pune, VIT Pune, for ENTC or WCE Sangli electronics?
Here is a detailed analysis of the aforementioned colleges based on some common aspects
- Branch: Electronics and E&TC are two very different branches covering many different subjects. So it’s best to go through the syllabus and then decide the branch of your choice.
- Academics: Academically, VIT Pune and WCE Sangli are better choices than MIT and POCT mainly because both are autonomous and have a pointer scale and thus scoring a good CGPA is easier.
- Fees: WCE charges the least among these colleges mainly because it’s a government-funded college. PICT charges fewer fees in comparison with MIT and VIT.
- Location: All three institutes namely PICT, MIT & VIT, are in Pune so enjoy great location benefits
Hope you make a wise choice!
How is IIT Mandi for pursuing an MS in VLSI for an ECE student, and what are the placement options after completing the same?
As mentioned in the answers before me, IIT Mandi is not a good choice for Masters’. It is located in a remote area with low connectivity. This makes it difficult to reach, and consequently, affects its placements to a great extent.
Other than location, the college lacks a strong alumni network. B.Tech students from new IITs either opt for an MBA, or choose to pursue their M.Tech from an old IIT. IIT Mandi as of now, does not have a very strong reputation in the industry. An 8-12 LPA CTC is not up to the IIT standards, but this is usually the package range offered to B.Techs from IIT Mandi. If B.Techs are struggling to get placed, the situation would obviously be tougher for postgrads.
Choose M.Tech VLSI from IIT Mandi only if you do not have a better option.
Which one is better: chemical engineering at IIT Bombay or computer science and engineering at IIT (BHU) in Varanasi?
I am a second-year chemical engineering student at IIT Bombay. I think you should opt for Chemical Engineering at IIT Bombay.
IIT Bombay received 3rd position in the Engineering category as per NIRF 2023 Ranking. In the Placements 2023, the highest package bagged at IIT Bombay was INR 1.68 CPA. OCl, BPCL, ONGC, Reliance Industries, etc. recruit students from the Chemical Department of our institution.
Here is a comparison table between IIT Bombay Chemical and IIT BHU:

(The branch-wise placement data for IIT Bombay is not available)
IIT Bombay is located in a mega-city, with great industry exposure, and easy access to other cities like Bengaluru and Hyderabad. Moreover, IIT Bombay is a much bigger brand than IIT BHU, and it offers much better placements.
Thus, I would recommend you choose B.Tech Chemical at IIT Bombay in place of B.Tech CSE at IIT BHU.
Can BITS Pilani be preferred over IIT BHU for mechanical or electronics engineering?
IIT BHU and BITS Pilani are two highly reputed institutes for engineering studies in India. IIT BHU would be a better option over BITS Pilani because of these reasons:
- Brand Value: IIT BHU carries the prestigious “IIT'' tag which holds more brand value than the “BITS Pilani'' tag. This will become important to you when applying to foreign universities for your higher education.
- Fees: As a government institution, the fees of IIT BHU is much more affordable as compared to BITS Pilani. This in turn, gives IIT BHU a higher ROI (Return on Investment), as IIT BHU offers even better placements than BITS Pilani.
Here are the important comparisons between IIT BHU and BITS Pilani:

IIT BHU is much more cost-effective than BITS Pilani, and has better placements as well. It also delivers the much renowned ‘IITian’ tag to its students.
Because of all these reasons, I would recommend you choose IIT BHU over BITS Pilani for your Mechanical/Electronics Engineering.
How is Electronics and instrumentation engineering at IET Lucknow?
Electronics and Instrumentation and Electronics and Communication are a part of the electronics department. Both the branches are perfect in their place. Since I have some friends studying Electronics and Instrumentation Engineering at IET Lucknow, I might be able to answer your question.
- If you look at the campus placements then it is not as good as CS, IT, etc. branches.
- The packages offered to some students of EI are also not good. (about 3 lac average.)
- But in the GATE exam, every year many students of EI secure good ranks, and even toppers are from IET Lucknow.
- For example, in the 2016 gate exam, Monti with AIR-4 & Vipin Sukla sir had secured AIR-18 and he graduated from IIT Bombay.
| Particulars | Statistics |
| Total fees | 4.04 Lakhs |
| Placement percent | 60% |
| Highest salary | INR 14 LPA |
| Average salary | INR 7 LPA |
| Lowest salary | INR 5 LPA |
| Top recruiters | Adobe, Capgemini, Tata Projects, Maruti Suzuki, Byju’s, etc. |
The course is good but the placement stats are not very good. If good placement is what you are searching for as the main parameter then you may consider other options.
