NIT Uttarakhand is one of the 31 NITs in India. They have highly educated faculty members, among them 51 are assistant professors and 18 are trainee teachers.

UIET Chandigarh (PU) is a government institution which has collaborations with many research industries for the benefit of the emerging student population.

Tabulated below is a brief overview of both institutions:

Admission Details

• Students should have 75% in their 10+2 qualifying exams.
• JEE rank is mandatory for BTech admission.
• Students applying for postgraduate courses should have 60% in their graduation in BTech or BE.
• MTech students will be selected on the basis of GATE rank.
• The final selection will be based on the entrance exam.

Recruiting Companies

• NIT Uttarakhand: The top recruiting companies are Infotech, IBM, Capgemini, Infosys, Accenture, Wipro, TCS, Mu Sigma, L&T, etc.
• UIET Chandigarh (PU): The top recruiting companies are KPMG, Mu Sigma, Infosys, Capgemini, Google, Microsoft, Deloitte, Goldman Sachs, etc.

CSE Job Roles:

Students graduating with CSE can work as Software architect, Data Scientist, Software engineer, Java Developer, Software developer, Database administration, Network Developer, System Database Administrator, Computer Programmer, Engineering Support Specialist, Data Warehouse Analyst, System Designer, Lecturer or Professor, Computer Operator and Research Analyst.

EEE Job Roles: 

Students graduating with EEE can work as Control and Instrumentation Engineer, Broadcast Engineers, Design Engineers, Consultant, Electronics Engineers, Electrical Engineers, Nuclear Engineer and System Analyst.

According to the placement records NIT Uttarakhand will be a better option than UIET Chandigarh, be it CSE or EEE. Both CSE and EEE are very much in demand due to the rapidly growing corporate sector and the growing demand for Power Engineers and Telecommunication Engineers.

I have a friend studying at IET Lucknow from the Civil branch. I will not be able to tell you about HBTI but I can guide you in the case of IET.

• The mechanical branch of IET is the best in the entire college in terms of studies.
• The faculty of the mechanical department is the best and you would not regret pursuing B. Tech in mechanical engineering from IET Lucknow. The faculty teaches better than what the students are taught in coachings (as per mechanical students).
• But as far as placement is considered, it is almost nil. The only companies that visit are from the IT sector. Even if a core company visits (rare chance), just a few students get placed. So, I would recommend you not to join IET if your parameters are good placements.
• Considering the college tag, HBTI is a renowned college but IET is also not unfamiliar. IET is well known among IIT professors.

The following table shows the placement statistics of both institutions:

Being from IET is also not bad, though not comparable to being from Harcourt.

One of my acquaintances who has graduated from VNIT has asked me to choose my institute by keeping the following points in mind.

• VNIT for metallurgy would be a suitable choice for you if you don’t have a particular liking. Apart from that, the metallurgy of VNIT holds an enviable position in India. The syllabus for metallurgy is vast and involves a lot of memorization.
• If you want CS and unfortunately end up not getting it, the next logical step would be to choose IT. The syllabus of IT and CS are almost the same. In the big picture, it will have little importance if you complete your B.Tech from VNIT or NIT Raipur. You will have a degree and you will not regret the decision you made.

IT has a lot of scopes. Later down the road, if you want to continue with your higher studies, you will be capable of switching to almost any department pertaining to computers. IT from NIT Raipur is an excellent choice.

The scope in the metallurgy sector is limited nowadays. It is obviously your call, though. There is vast scope in IT like research, job, etc.

Vardhaman College of Engineering is a better option as compared to Sreenidhi. There are a few reasons for this.

1. The college is known for its punctuality and demands the same of its students. 
2. If you are looking for quality education, Vardhaman College is better. 
3. Classroom appearance and placements are well developed as compared to Sreenidhi.
4. However, with recent statistics, the highest package offered at Vardhaman is INR 12 lakhs per annum. The same at Sreenidhi is INR 14 lakhs per annum.

Lastly, as a student, there is better peer-to-peer interaction at Vardhaman College of Engineering. Eventually, it boils down to your choices as a student and what you are looking for in your college. 

My brother is an alumnus of IET Lucknow and was able to shed some light on the differences between IET Lucknow and KNIT. 

• IET Lucknow has a higher brand value than KNIT Sultanpur. 
• IET Lucknow provides a better environment and exposure because it is located in the heart of the city and is well-connected to the rest of the city. 
• In comparison to KNIT, you can find students with good grades at IET Lucknow. In comparison to KNIT, placements at IET Lucknow are significantly better. According to the recent placement statistics the median CTC offered at IET is around 4.5 LPA. While the average CTC offered at KNIT is 4 LPA.
• In terms of academics and infrastructure also, IET is significantly superior. 

If you are in KNIT, you would have to travel to Lucknow or Allahabad for any placement drives or tests, as most firms or companies will not travel to the college in a rural area for placement drives. 

Having friends in these institutions, I am well aware that HBTU Kanpur is much better than IIIT Bhopal and IET Lucknow. Though one thing has been seen that the performance of the CSE department is generally the same in all the colleges. They all provide enough industry exposure to the students. 

This table might help you in seeing the basic differences between these institutions - 

It is advised to join HBTU Kanpur or IET Lucknow than IIIT Bhopal, as the former are an older establishment than the latter which is comparatively new. Classes at IIIT Bhopal are scheduled according to MANIT Bhopal. Also the students are provided RGPV hostels. So it will be better if you go for HBTU.

One of my friends studied at IIIT Bhopal. He said that pursuing engineering from IIIT Bhopal will prove to be better than IET DAVV. Here are some reasons as to why:

• The greater advantage of being a student of IIIT is that you get the tag of the Institute of National Importance.
• But at the end of the academic year, everything depends on your hard work.
• If you want to excel without the package of IIIT Bhopal bothering you then IET DAVV is not a bad option.
• But IIT Bhopal is run by MANIT Bhopal so another advantage for IIT Bhopal.
• The placement records for IIIT Bhopal are not yet done. The process is still going on for the batch of 2021.

The better option would be IIIT Bhopal without a doubt. However, IET DAVV is also good. But it ultimately is your choice and what you want to pursue.
