One of my friends studied environmental engineering at NIT Trichy. According to him, he is quite satisfied with this college placement. He further mentions that this college provides the best placement for the students of M.Tech compared to other IIT colleges.
He claimed that NIT Trichy is better than all the newer IITs and other NITs. This college is even better than IIT Roorkee in terms of M.Tech placement opportunities.
| Categories | M.Tech in Environmental Engineering at NIT Trichy |
| Course Fee | 1.48 lakhs |
| Course Duration | 2 years |
| Highest CTC | 15-18 LPA |
| Average CTC | 6 LPA |
| Recruiting Companies | Adani, ICICI Bank, Reliance, ITC, etc. |
Obviously, the placement stats differ every year but the percentage of the students from the M.tech branch is around 63.2% this year. It is quite good considering the pandemic situation.
I think the prospect of doing an MTech in NITs like NIT Trichy, Warangal, Calicut and in new IITs like IIT BBS, IIT GANDHINAGAR, IIT HYDERABAD are equally good. However, being an MTech student from IIT Bhubaneswar myself I can say IITBBS is a better choice for you.
It depends on your interest in and knowledge of the core subject. NIT Warangal is the best choice, as they offer quality education to the students. Let us look into a detailed view of Environmental Engineering
It is one of the trending courses, as it is the fastest-rising sector in India. The increase in population is directly proportional to the increase in pollution around the world. The contaminated air and water resources will put human life in crisis, thereby increasing the demand for environmental engineering in the coming decade. It is better to do a certification course on online platforms like Coursera to enrich your portfolio.
So you can opt for an M.Tech. in Environmental Engineering at NIT Warangal.
Based on placements, coding culture, and academic environment here is how I will rank the second-generation IITs
Overall, most IITs are similar, and thus distance from home should be the major criterion to be considered.
IIT Guwahati is one of the premier institutes in India for engineering and its MTech program in mechanical engineering is considered to be of high quality, with a strong faculty, good infrastructure, and a well-rounded curriculum. The program is also known for its research-oriented approach, which allows students to work on cutting-edge projects and gain hands-on experience.
MTech Mechanical has 5 specializations, namely
My knowledge is only limited to Fluid and Thermal although all other specializations have similar scenarios.
Overall, IT Guwahati is a great choice for those interested in pursuing an MTech in mechanical engineering.
One of my friends with a GATE score of 670 took admission to NIT Calicut. The academics in the field of industrial and management are good but the placements are not good enough. The faculty of NIT Calicut is exceptionally well, knowledgeable and experienced. They are way better than the faculty of NIT Trichy or ISM Dhanbad.
Placements for M.Tech courses are very bad and it is the same in all institutes. The only exception is flagship IITs and NIT Trichy. Therefore, one should opt for NIT Trichy than NIT Calicut.
Therefore, if you are interested in a job right after the course, go for NIT Trichy. If you want to study further in this field, then NIT Calicut would be a suitable choice.
For Electronics Communication Engineering or ECE, NIT Warangal will be the better choice among all the NITs mentioned. NIT Warangal is constantly placed among the top 3 NITs of the country and offers better placement. NIT Warangal also offers one of the best research facilities among all NIT. The preference order should be NIT Warangal>NIT Allahabad>NIT Durgapur>NIT Delhi.
The table below shows a comparison of the M.Tech ECE program offered by the NITs mentioned in the question.

MTech in Mechanical Engineering comprises various specializations. The cutoff for each specialization varies. Usually, the highest cut-off is for machine design then fluid and thermal science followed by CAM and computational mechanics. If you are attending the counseling you have to specify the preference order among these four. So depending on your rank, you might get admission to a specialization you did not want to study.
I recommend that you attend the counseling and don’t make assumptions beforehand. Sometimes the wrong train leads you to the right destination. It’s better to explore all options to determine what’s best for you.
When you are selecting an engineering college, there are several parameters you ought to consider even before jumping to a conclusion. Those parameters are as follows.
However, the rankings can change with time. Yet, a few of the colleges you still can keep an eye on are mentioned below.
Although, when deciding such a crucial career choice, you should opt to take insights from an expert who somehow can help you see both the merits and demerits of enrolling in a college. That means, having a brief talk with a career counselor might not be a bad choice. While choosing a good career counseling company, run a check on their backgrounds, strengths, domain knowledge, and more.
Hostels in NIT C for the PG students are not good. Students are allotted to the Professor's Apartment in their first tear.
This was the scenario of the first year and for the second year students, the scenario is a bit different. The second-year students are mostly accommodated in the MBA hostels which have toilets attached with the rooms but are far from the previous apartments where you were living in the first year.
Wi-Fi is available on the campus and works well for the new buildings and hostels. At the time of joining they will tell you that the new hostels are under construction and will be ready to move soon.
Please take a note that if possible go for the kitchen as that will be the only single room accommodation available for you as a PG student in NIT Calicut.
