How is the integrated BE-MBA course in Thapar University? Why is it given lower priority than the BE in admissions?
According to one of my friends, who is an alumnus of Thapar University, the integrated program involving BE and MBA is mostly preferred by the students nowadays over many other branches like civil, chemical, mechanical, and many others. At the same time, computer science or electronics plus MBA is a good option to take your career ahead as you may be well aware of the popularity of the computer science branch at Thapar University. Also, there is a benefit of not giving competitive exams such as CAT or GMAT.
The students who remain in the turmoil of giving entrance exams and don't want to write the national level exams or are afraid of not getting LM Thapar according to the marks scored in entrance exams, mostly prefer this course.
Since the course is newly introduced by the university, it will take time to settle and as soon as the stream settles down, automatically the cut-off will go high.
As for why this course has low priority among students, it’s just a mindset problem and has nothing to do with the course or university.
Is NSIT ECE a wise choice over NSIT IT? What is the average and highest package offered to the students of these branches in NSIT?
Whether the choice is wise or not depends upon your personal interests. ECE is a better choice if electronics interests you. IT would prove better if you are into coding, technology, and computers, and wish to work in this field.
During 2022 B.Tech placements, the overall median package at NSUT Delhi stood at INR 16 LPA. The ECE branch has access to almost all the tech companies during NSUT Delhi placements. Whereas, IT students can’t sit for core companies. However, some top coding companies do not allow other branches except COE and IT to sit for their placements.
Like any other college, tech companies visit NSUT Delhi in greater numbers. But ECE students learn coding and are easily placed in brands like Facebook, Google, etc. The highest and average packages for IT are better than those for ECE. However, the ECE also has a greater number of students.
Right now, I would suggest you focus more on your interests than the placements. This is because, with an interest in your field, you will surely land a good job. Your dedication and commitment will play a greater role than your branch in deciding your future.
What would be the better choice - ECE at BITS Goa or ECE at NIT Trichy?
Since you have decided on a branch beforehand, comparing two institutes becomes easier. That being said, BITS Goa is a clear winner and you can go for it without any hesitation. Consider the following parameters
Infrastructure: Being a private institute, BITS Goa has excellent infrastructure and facilities. The campus is fully wifi-enabled with air-conditioned classrooms, well-equipped labs, and a well-stocked e-library. There are several MOOC or reverse classroom courses too.
Faculty: BITS Goa has a thorough recruiting process and only then best professors are selected thus maintaining the standards of teaching here. The faculty members are expected to be highly experienced and have published at least 5 papers. There is also a faculty monitoring committee, to ensure quality teaching.
Course structure: BITS Goa has a well-structured curriculum and the pedagogy adopted is modern.
Campus life: Being located in a tourist city, the campus life experience is full of fun.
Placements: BITS Goa placements statistics are excellent and this year the average package stood at INR 30.37 LPA.
Unless you have any financial constraints, choosing BITS Pilani over NIT Trichy will prove to be a more fruitful decision.
Is IIIT-Allahabad a good college for ECE?
If you're interested in IIITs ECE program, then you should probably think about other schools as well. If you are going to study ECE at IIIT, you should think again. There are advantages and disadvantages of studying at IIIT.
- The few Indian companies which work in the electronics domain have a hard time competing with foreign companies.
- There isn't much support for electronics businesses in India. Citizens rely on foreigners to supply the core.
- Due to a lack of education and training, most Indian consumers can't satisfactorily work with electronics.
- The electronics industry in India is growing, but it should continue to develop new talent for the future.

People often find it hard to see the value of electronics, but if you've already decided to focus on it. Don't get distracted by college. Work hard in your field of study. Don't put too much emphasis on college.
Which is better in terms of the syllabus, placements and college life: NSIT in ECE vs BIT Mesra in CSE?
My friend did his B.Tech ECE from NSIT. According to him, NSIT ECE is a better choice than BIT Mesra CSE. Here are the reasons for his preference for NSIT ECE-
- Location- NSIT graduates have greater access to major industries due to its closeness to cities like Noida and Gurugram. For CAT, GRE, GMAT, etc., Delhi has a good coaching center facility.
- Brand Value- The brand value of NSIT is greater than that of BIT Mesra.
- Faculty at NSIT - You will be taught by some of the best professors in the country at the NSIT ECE department. Their letter of recommendation will open numerous doors for you.
- Seniors at NSIT- The seniors at NSIT are very helpful. Some of your seniors working at top firms may even refer you for an internship/job interview.
- Classes are held regularly at NSIT- There is a 75% attendance criteria at NSIT. The teachers also come for the lectures regularly.
- Coding Culture at NSIT- The coding culture at NSIT is great and their coders make it to GSoC every year. Some of them are also ranked highly on sites like TopCoder and CodeChef.
- Placements- The placements at NSIT are better than BIT Mesra. ECE students from NSIT get placed in core electronics companies, tech, and non-tech firms. Some of these companies are- Texas Instruments, Airtel, KPMG, Bain, BCG, McKinsey, TCS, Maruti Suzuki, Expedia, Google, Uber, etc.
- The ECE course has been recently updated by NSIT as per the industry standards. You will get to choose among electives from the first year itself. The electives range from Finance to Sports.
- NSIT is the only Indian college to send delegations to the prestigious Harvard MUN.
Thus, I would suggest you choose NSIT ECE over BIT Mesra CSE.
How is the ENTC branch at VIT Pune?
As a student of B.Tech ENTC at VIT Pune, I can shed some light on this branch.
ENTC is one of the best branches of VIT Pune. It is an autonomous college, so it freely decides its course curriculum. The syllabus is industry relevant, and will equip you for higher studies. The curriculum contains skill development courses which will help you during placements and projects.
The department offers honors in fields like Robotics, Embedded System Design and VLSI. These additional courses carry extra credits. Instead of assignments, the new curriculum focuses on labs and mini projects. Many students opt for industry sponsored projects.
You may intern in a foreign university through the student exchange programs run by VIT Pune. The department has several student bodies- IEEE and IETE student branch, E-EDC (Electronics Entrepreneurship Development Cell), and TRF(The Robotics Forum). They conduct workshops, seminars, industrial visits, and participate in competitions like ROBOCON, e-yantra, etc.
Placement-wise, ENTC is second to CS/IT. Very few core companies visit the campus, so most placements are in the IT sector. Many students get offers from foreign universities for their higher studies.
Overall, ENTC at VIT Pune is a good branch with a supportive faculty. You can consider this branch for your engineering studies.

Should I prefer CSE at NIT Calicut or ECE at NIT Warangal?
Choosing between CSE and ECE is a matter purely based on personal inclinations. While one branch may be good for you, it may not be for someone else, and vice versa.
However, in terms of both academics and placements, NIT Warangal clearly has the upper hand. NIT Warangal is among the top 3 NITs and is better than NIT Calicut in almost every aspect. Its laboratory facilities and faculty are among the best.

IEM Kolkata IT will be comparably better. Although IEM has pretty strict rules in place, it offers better opportunities in terms of academics and placements. According to the stats of recent IEM placements, each year around 90% of students get placed each year from IT. The highest CTC for the branch is INR 40 LPA.
Heritage Institute of Technology is a good option, if you want to pursue research or MS, further.
Who is the best faculty at ECED, NIT CALICUT?
At first, the term 'best faculty' is not an extensive classification basis. As we know Electronics and Communication are a vast field of engineering, and here we can classify roughly into Digital and analog domains.
The faculty members have different specializations and some are indeed true masters of their trend.
- For Signal Processing - Dr. G Abhilash – He is the perfect blend of Dedication and discipline redefined. He makes students learn subjects through the blend of excellent lecturing skills as well as practical sessions.
- For Communication - Dr. lillykutty Jacob and Dr. P C Subramanian (Chaos Theory)
- For Semiconductor Physics, VLSI - Dr. Rama Subramanian – He is also very popular among students for his student-friendly nature.
- For Embedded - Lyla B Das – Also the author of some textbooks, she has the industry experience and is also student-friendly.
Dr. Sathi Devi and Dr. Elisabeth Elias are also doing remarkable work in their fields.
Dr. Praveen Sankaran, Ameer P M, Dr. Rama Subramanian, and Abhilash are some of the coolest ones among the faculty members and personal favorites of most of the students. They just not come to deliver lectures but also motivate the students and share their industrial experience.
