Should I choose ECE at IIITH or go for CSE at NIT Surathkal?

SM
Suratha Mishra Posted On : July 9th, 2021
Dual Degree from Birla Institute of Technology and Science, Pilani (2023)

My sister studied CSE from NIT Surathkal which is an excellently ranked Institute. It has excellent opportunities available for anyone in the CSE department. It is the best option in terms of placements because core ECE jobs do not pay well. The number of jobs available to CSE graduates is way more than those to ECE.

If you notice the trend, you will see that a huge number of new companies have surfaced in the last decade, a few of them who recruit CSE students are Flipkart, Swiggy, Zomato, and Paytm.

You won't find a single MNC for ECE students and if any does, it's the core companies whose number is less than 15 here in India. These days ECE companies are not investing in B.Tech students, they are more interested in Masters candidates.

Some startups have come up in core engineering but there's a high chance that it will merge with other prosperous companies. They don't even provide good pay.

If you look at the reputation and academic excellence of both the Institutes, then you will realize that they are good. It's always advisable to choose CSE because data is king, currently.

Which of the following colleges and branches are better, IET Lucknow for CS or MSRIT for ECE? I will try for a branch change in MSRIT.

RB

Studies CSE at NIT Warangal

One of my friends is an alumnus of MSRIT and highly recommends it. You should opt for MSRIT because it is situated in Bangalore and will provide you a tremendous amount of opportunities. In addition to that, even if you slightly get scores lower than anticipated during the branch change, don’t be concerned as ECE is a popular branch as well and will undeniably permit you to sit for over 95% of top firms that visit the campus with CSE offers.

Here is the latest 2020 placement report of both institutes.

Institutes IET, Lucknow MSRIT (RIT) Bangalore
Total No. of Recruiters 100 358
Average Salary Package INR 5 LPA INR. 7.66 LPA
Highest Salary Package INR 36 LPA INR. 50 LPA
Top Recruiting Companies Unacademy, D E Shaw & Co, Barclays, Code Nation, Amazon, Yamaha, Go Speedy Go ABB, Pega Systems, Virtusa, Yodlee, JP Morgan, Microsoft GTS, Ernst & Young (IT)

You should however research well about IET Lucknow. But, since it is located in Uttar Pradesh, the opportunities will not be as broad as it is in MSRIT, Bangalore.

Among IIIT Pune-CS, IIITDM mechanical, and IIIT Lucknow-IT, which is the best option to choose?

PP
Pratik Parikh Posted On : April 11th, 2023
Lives in Bangalore

If you are trying to decide between IIIT Pune-CS, IIITDM Mechanical, and IIIT Lucknow-IT, it's important to consider the strengths and weaknesses of each institute before making a decision. Based on your preferences, IIIT Lucknow-IT is likely the best choice for you. Here's why:

  • IIIT Pune-CS: While IIIT Pune has a good reputation overall, its computer science program is relatively new and still in the process of establishing itself. If you're specifically interested in computer science, you might be better off looking at other options.
  • IIITDM Mechanical: IIITDM Jabalpur is one of the older IIITs in India and has a strong reputation for its engineering programs. However, it's important to keep in mind that the mechanical engineering program may not be the best fit for everyone. If you're not specifically interested in mechanical engineering, it might not be the best choice for you.
  • IIIT Lucknow-IT: IIIT Lucknow has a well-established IT program with a strong track record of producing successful graduates. If you're interested in pursuing a career in IT, this institute could be an excellent choice for you.

Here are a few other factors to consider when making your decision:

  • Location: All three of these institutes are located in different parts of India, so you'll want to think about which location makes the most sense for you in terms of cost of living, proximity to family and friends, etc.
  • Course offerings: While all three of these institutes have strong reputations, they may have different strengths and weaknesses when it comes to specific courses or areas of study. Take a look at the course offerings for each institute to see which one aligns most closely with your interests and goals.
  • Faculty and resources: Another important factor to consider is the quality of the faculty and resources available at each institute. Look into the faculty members at each institute and their research interests to get a sense of whether they align with your own interests. You may also want to consider factors like library resources, labs, and other facilities that can impact your education.

Ultimately, the best choice for you will depend on a variety of factors, including your academic interests, career goals, and personal preferences. However, if you're specifically interested in IT and looking for a well-established program with a strong track record of success, IIIT Lucknow-IT is definitely worth considering.

One of my friends suggests that IIIT Sri City can be a better option than NIT Tadepalligudem. The reason behind her suggesting the same is because the curriculum of IIIT Sri City stands out from NIT Tadepalligudem.

The curriculum of IIIT Sri City has been adopted from IIIT Hyderabad, helping it become more distinct than the other. The directors at IIIT Sri City are from IIIT Hyderabad. It is situated in an area that is one of India’s fastest developing SEZ.

Studied at IIT Kharagpur (2019)

IIIT Allahabad and IIIT Hyderabad are some of the most reputed engineering colleges in India. However, it is difficult to choose between the two as the branches you have mentioned are different. To make a more precise decision, first, decide which branch you want to opt for.

Particulars

40 LPA

Average Package Offered

Top Recruiters

Codenation, Microsoft, Nvidia, Qualcomm, etc.

I have a bunch of colleagues who have done their graduation from IIITA and IIITH and based on the brief interaction I had with them, here are some of the insights they have to share:

  • If you have an interest in Computers, you should go with IT from IIIT Allahabad. Admission is not easy because IT is its most popular core branch.
  • In case you don’t get admission to IIIT Allahabad, keep IIIT Hyderabad as a second option. Even though your branch is ECE, the coding culture there will give you an awesome start for your computer knowledge acquiring process.

If you get admitted to IIITA, satisfaction with your interest is guaranteed. If not, don’t feel you’ve settled for IIIT Hyderabad, as it is equally reputed and will fulfill your interest in computers.
