Should I pursue ECE at a new IIIT like IIIT Bhopal or attend an NIT in one of the Seven Sister States?
Firstly IIITs are newly established colleges and hence they are far behind from good NITs. I have a friend in NIT Silchar. I heard good things about the institute from him.
Here are some of the things that make NIT Silchar a good choice.
- It is 9th on the list of top 10 NITs.
- It is the second most premium institute in the northeast after IIT Guwahati.
- Placements here are top class with great infrastructure and world-class faculty.
- NIT Silchar is known for its Digital Library which is the biggest, not only in India but in entire South Asia.
You should go for NITs and you won't regret it. Rest depends on your research and feasibility.
How are the placement and job prospects of an M.Tech in ECE from Thapar University?
My sister did her M.E. in ECE from Thapar University in 2016. The placement and job prospects of Thapar University M.E. students depend on various factors. The most important of these is CGPA and dissertation. My sister’s dissertation revolved around music signal processing. If you get an 8 CGPA or above at the end of your 3rd semester, you will be eligible to sit for most of the placement interviews.
Your supervisor plays a great role in determining how well you write your dissertation. Choose your supervisor very wisely because your knowledge will ultimately weigh more than your credits. Choose an approachable and helpful supervisor. Having a good knowledge of your research area will allow you to perform well during the placement interviews and you will ultimately land a well paying job.
Core companies like Samsung, Freescale, Sandisk, among others allow both B.E. and M.E. students from Thapar University to sit for their placements. LPU, Sharda University, etc. have started visiting the campus with teaching job offers. You can also get placed for teaching in coaching centers like Akash during the placements. IT companies like Infosys also hire candidates from other branches like ECE. For other companies, they would explicitly state if they are not open for M.E. students.
Thus, the placement and job prospects for M.E. (ECE) students of Thapar University are quite good.
Which is best in NIT Trichy, ECE or EEE?
Electrical and Electronics Engineering (EEE) and Electronics and Communication Engineering (ECE) are two different branches of engineering. As some of my friends had these courses, I can share some details about them, later analyzing which you can make a decision.
- EEE is concerned with electrical engineering, which encompasses circuits, transformers, electrostatics, magnetics, and other related topics.
- ECE is concerned with the electrical and communication aspects of the subject. Communication is learning a programming language, VLSI, and coding. After CSE, it is the most popular branch among students.
- As a matter of interest, both the ECE and EEE branches are fascinating and demanding.
- Hence, one should choose either of the two based on his or her own personal interests.
- If you don't have a particular interest and want to choose based on placement opportunities, then ECE is recommended.
- It has a scope that is even greater than CSE.
Because CSE is currently at its pinnacle and will almost certainly reach saturation in the next 4 to 5 years. So, at this time, it would be wiser to choose ECE. regardless of the college, whether it is NIT Trichy, NIT Warangal, or any other NITs or IITs in India.
What cutoff (CPI) does Goldman Sachs keep for ECE students in internships at MNNIT Allahabad?
My cousin belongs to the 2020 batch of B.tech at MNNIT Allahabad. Goldman Sachs visited the campus for an internship for their batch. The general selection criteria for this internship are:
- You must belong to either of these branches: BTech All, MCA, MSc
- You must have a CPI of 5 or above
If you are preparing for getting selected at Goldman Sachs, just focus on your problem-solving and coding skills. Also in their technical round, you will be asked Quant questions that are very hard if you lack practice in that. Yes, Quant questions are the type of questions that are asked in CAT exams.
However, it is quite common to see students with a CPI of 8 or higher being selected most. This is the harsh truth, thus you might see your name in the first shortlist but not in the second list as your CPI is lower. Hence, work hard enough to get a CPI of 8 or higher and emphasize more and more on your coding skills as the coding exam for Goldman is very tough.
Should I join the ECE branch at REVA University?
Reva University is awarded as Asia's most prestigious for engineering. ECE prepares you for various branches like biomedical, mechanical, computer science, mining, communication, and many more industries.
- This program was being developed in Reva University to focus on new technologies that include embedded systems, data communication, and many others with special emphasis on research and development.
- Other than regular classes, various international workshops, seminars, etc. are being organized to provide better, hands-on experience.
- Various internships are offered to prepare you for the real world, apart from theoretical knowledge.
- The placement cell creates an inclusive, collaborative, and supportive environment for the success and growth of students.

Which is better, ECE at IIT Madras or ECE at IIITH?
IIT Madras does not offer B.Tech ECE. Instead, it offers B.Tech in Electrical Engineering. The Electrical Engineering department is one of the oldest at IITM.
- Electrical Engineering at IIT Madras: Students in the Electrical Engineering department of IITM secure an admission to top universities like Stanford, UCB, Harvard, Georgia Tech, and The University of Michigan. The highest package offered to Electrical Engineering students of IITM during 2023 placements was INR 68.5 LPA, and the median package is INR 35.89 LPA.
- B.Tech ECE at IIIT H: ECE at IIIT Hyderabad revolves around signal processing. It also includes applied areas such as computer vision and speech, communications, VLSI/embedded systems, robotics, IoT, etc. The highest package offered to B.Tech ECE students of IIIT H was INR 45 LPA during the 2023 placements. The average package for the same year was INR 27.24 LPA for B.Tech ECE.
Both these institutions are highly reputed in the field of engineering, and they offer equally good academics and placements. But I would recommend you opt for Electrical Engineering at IIT Madras since it has a bigger brand name and a richer legacy. Moreover, Electrical students at IITM receive even better packages as compared to ECE students at IIIT Hyderabad.
How good is ECE at PSG Tech?
One of my close friends studies at PSG Tech. According to him, it is the most sought-after department in engineering counselling due to its excellent placement record.

Is ECE better than CSE in NIT Rourkela?
I am yet to understand the blind passion people possess for the CSE branch including those who have no interest in the field whatsoever. Even if you have a passion for CSE, the NIT Rourkela is certainly not the right place to bring out your abilities in this field. The placements, undoubtedly, are excellent at par with some new IITs. bit NIT Rourkela lacks in other major aspects such as
- Highly underqualified professors. In fact, the majority of the CSE classes are conducted by teaching assistants of professors who have degrees from average engineering colleges.
- Professors have no fixed marking criteria and students face serious issues when marks are deducted unnecessarily.
- The curriculum is obsolete and does not meet industry standards. Students who are serious about academics have to take up MOOCs to learn additional things.
Irrespective of the branch you go for between CSE and ECE, you will witness similar job opportunities and success rates. Most students get placed in huge firms like Amazon, Microsoft, and Samsung. So, choosing the right branch in your case depends on your personal preference and interests.
