Student at IIT Bhubaneswar

NIT Surathkal was established in 1960, and its ECE program started in 1979. IIT Bhubaneswar was established in 2008, and its ECE branch started in 2016. Even though IIT Bhubaneswar is very new compared to NIT Surathkal, it in no way lags behind in terms of clubs, societies, academics and placements for its ECE students.

Here is a comparison between these institutions for your reference:

INSTITUTE	NIT Surathkal B.Tech ECE	IIT Bhubaneswar B.Tech ECE
Placement %	93%	90.91%
Highest CTC	INR 54.75 LPA	INR 44.62 LPA
Average CTC	INR 18.26 LPA	INR 22.85 LPA
Lowest CTC	INR 4.50 LPA	INR 9.65 LPA
Clubs and Societies	Systems & Security group, Intelligence Group	Web and Design Society, Nakshatra
Fests	Incident	Alma Fiesta
Fee-Structure B.Tech ECE (Total)	INR 5.74 Lakh	INR 10.40 Lakh

Some of the features of IIT Bhubaneswar which makes it more compatible as compared to NIT Surathkal are as follows:

Students & Faculty: Students who join this college are some of the elite students in the country. Since ECE branch isn't available in all of the IITs, this is the best option for the ECE enthusiasts. The faculty of the ECE department is top notch.

Placements: The placement of students in this branch is really good.The average placement of this branch is around 23 LPA.

Workload: ECE branch has the most hectic schedule among all other branches. The third semester is the most hectic. But if you choose this branch out of your own interest, you’ll get past all the difficulties.

Reputation: This college is one of the highly reputed colleges in the country. Graduates of IIT Bhubaneswar are currently working for successful companies around the globe.

College Life: The campus life is vibrant. Tech and Cultural Fests are held annually. Celebs like Sonu Nigam, Kailash Kher, Shreya Ghoshal have performed in the cultural fest of our college in the past, along with some popular bands and DJs.

The Average and Lowest Package for IIT Bhubaneswar’s B.Tech ECE are much better than NITK. Added to better placements is the fact that IIT Bhubaneswar carries the prestigious ‘IIT’ tag and modern infrastructure.

Based on all these reasons, I would suggest you opt for B.Tech ECE at IIT Bhubaneswar.

Both institutes have well-equipped laboratories such as Digital Signal Processing & Embedded Systems Lab, VLSI Lab, Signals & Systems Lab, Wireless Sensor Networks Lab, Radiating Systems Lab, and Communications Systems Lab. Since NITK is older than IIT Bhubaneswar, the faculty of NITK has more experience than IIT Bhubaneswar.
