NIT Patna is a very old and well-established college. On the other hand, NIT Uttarakhand is very new (est. 2010). As a former ECE student at NIT Uttarakhand, here are my observations on my college-
- Though in a much better condition now, NIT Uttarakhand is operating from a temporary campus.
- Sports and cultural activities have increased from before.
- The number of teachers in various departments has increased and the administration has become more flexible.
- The placement scenario has improved and is getting better with time.
- Elections are held for different positions in the institution. Thus, students are ultimately in charge.
- The ECE faculty is very supportive and learned, especially the HOD.
- Lab facilities have improved with more equipment and research facilities. However, the labs have no ACs.
- Classes are conducted from 8 to 6. This will allow you to become more disciplined with time management because you’ll have assignments to complete, errands to run, and so on.
NIT Uttarakhand isn’t a bad choice as it will give you great learning opportunities. But NIT Patna is way older and will provide you with better placements and facilities. Thus, I recommend you choose NIT Patna for your ECE.
