NIT Patna ECE placements are great and the packages offered are high. Moreover, the institute is located in the center of the city so you have access to all kinds of coaching institutes for preparation of competitive exams like GATE and IES. The reason I won’t suggest you go for Production Engineering is ve age of its limited scope in the country.
Ultimately the choice depends on your inclinations.
I am currently studying ECE at NIT Trichy. So far, I’ve had an amazing experience. During the first two years, you will deal with Core Electronics. In the first year, every branch studies the same subjects to brush up on concepts learned in senior classes at school. The next two years deal with the Communication part. You will get to choose electives from various options like image processing, etc.
All the branches are equally good and each offers ample opportunities in terms of scholarships. The ECE branch has a very good reputation and the faculty is quite good. Some teachers can even teach more than two subjects with subjects ranging from Digital Electronics to Signal Processing and Data Structures (elective). NIT Trichy follows a Relative Grading System (RG).
Thus, the NIT Trichy ECE branch is a great choice.
Based on placements, SVCE will be better for ECE. Here are the recent placement highlights.

If you are looking for a high-paying package around 10-14 LPA, you need to consider your future perspectives first. As an ECE student here are some career options you can opt for
One should look for a balance between salary and work culture. I will suggest you prepare for the MNC industries of Silicon Valley (Private Core Sector), i.e. Qualcomm, Intel, etc.This is the best choice for an ECE student where you will learn and work with great minds. They offer lucrative packages too. Here is how you can prepare for such companies
To prepare for your interviews, one needs to have deep knowledge of whatever you study for your end-semester examinations.

In my opinion, you alone can decide the best branch for yourself and others can only guide you. If you are evaluating and comparing branches based on placements, then trust me it won’t help in the long run. Unless you are genuinely interested in the branch, you won’t be able to pursue a career in it for a long time.

ECE
So, make sure you go for the branch that intrigues you and not the one that offers better placements.
