BITS Pilani does not offer an Electronics and Communication Engineering Program. When comes to ENL and EEE, there are some key points you should keep in mind as an applicant, which are listed below
Opportunities – In the current scenario, EEE opens up more opportunities than ENL. For Instance, the Indian Engineering Examination is only applicable to students from ECE and EEE
Campus – BITS Pilani is far better than BITS Hyderabad as they have well-equipped lab and infrastructure
Placement – The three batches can sit for the placement, but the companies give more weight to Communication and Digital Signal Processing
So, it is better to choose EEE than ENL at BITS Pilani.
If you are considering studying at the National Institute of Technology Calicut, here are some important points to keep in mind:
Academics:
Faculty:

NIT Trichy is a better option for EEE. The department has a brilliant faculty. Professors are well-experienced. The peer group is great. You will be among talented students. EEE has a 100% placement rate. Students receive salary packages in the range of INR 4 LPA - 20 LPA. Microsoft, Uber, HLS Asia, etc. are among the major recruiters that take part in NIT Trichy placements.
According to the NIRF rankings in India 2020, NIT Surathkal was ranked 13th, NIT Warangal was ranked 19th, NIT Trichy was ranked 9th, MANIT Bhopal was ranked 65th, MNNIT Allahabad was ranked 48th, NIT Calicut was ranked 23rd and MNIT Jaipur was ranked 35th for their B.Tech courses. Admissions to all these institutions are given on the basis of rank in JEE Main.
The preference order among these colleges would be as follows:
NIT Trichy > NIT Surathkal > NIT Warangal/MNNIT Allahabad > NIT Calicut > MANIT Bhopal > MNIT Jaipur
Placements
Based on all the above data the preference order can be NIT Trichy, NIT Surathkal, NIT Warangal, NIT Calicut, NIT Jaipur, MANIT Bhopal, and MNNIT Allahabad. Students can also choose by seeing the city and campus life of the institutions which suit them better, as at the end of the day all of them are NITs.
My friends had studied at NIT Trichy in CSE and EEE. The placements for both of these branches are top-notch.
Here are the placement statistics of NIT Trichy for the year 2020.
Total number of companies visited | 220 |
UG Placement percentage | 92% |
PG Placement percentage | 87.1% |
Placement percentage of EEE department | 93.3% |
Average CTC offered | INR 6 LPA |
In the EEE branch, the highest CTC offered is around 32 LPA while the average CTC is about 8 LPA. Some of the top recruiters include Volvo, Wipro, Yahoo, HDFC Bank, HP, HNG, HCL, Godrej, Ford, etc.
The placements for EEE at BIT Mesra differ according to the year. However, they are not as good as they were a decade ago. Since the advent of GATE for the recruitment process of PSUs, they have stopped recruiting students from the campus.
A wide range of companies allows BIT Mesra EEE students to sit for the placement process-
Unless you are passionate about coding, as a EEE student, it is unlikely for you to be good at it, that is too good enough to beat a CSE/IT candidate. Also, EEE at BIT Mesra is negligent towards electronics. Therefore, in reality, only the last two categories are left for EEE students.
Thus, as a EEE student at BIT Mesra, you can get placed in the core electrical companies or companies like EXE, Stellium, etc. But if you wish to go for core electronics or coding, you will have to strengthen your knowledge and skills in these domains, all by yourself. The above-mentioned companies are the big MNCs that visit the campus with core electrical profiles.
IIT Gandhinagar is a better choice for Electrical Engineering than choosing BITS Pilani for Electrical and Electronics.
B.Tech EEE is the most hectic course offered by NIT Trichy.
As a B.Tech EEE student, you’ll have classes and labs all day long. The faculty is experienced. Most of them are friendly and supportive, but you can only rely on self-study. You’ll have some of the brightest students as your peers. Try to befriend some of them as they will help you a lot in studies.
NIT Trichy is comparable to some of the old IITs, in terms of placements. Almost all the students of B.Tech EEE are successfully placed each year, and some of them even bag multiple offers. Those who don’t sit for placements, opt for higher studies in prestigious Indian and foreign universities.
NIT Trichy will offer you an awesome campus culture, and lifelong memories. Its EEE branch is hectic, but rewarding at the same time.
I would always recommend you to go for BITS Pilani EEE over IIT BHU Mechanical. Here are a few points justifying my stance.
Academics: BITS Pilani EEE curriculum is modern and as per industry standards. The branch has a highly qualified pool of professors who make use of modern teaching methodologies and conduct lively sessions. the number of top-tier MS in EE, the infrastructure, and top-notch placements all prove the same. The infrastructure at IIT BHU is deteriorating and the labs are equipped with obsolete instruments bringing down the academic quality of the institute.
Network: BITS has a very elaborate alumni network and gives an edge to IIT BHU.The BITS network (BITSAA) is very well organized and the close-knit nature of the BITSian community is rarely matched by IITs.
Brand: Society in general considers the IIT tag to be of superior quality whereas the recruiters and top universities are aware of the BITS influence and thus it enjoys an equally good brand name. Moreover, the IIT branch seems to have diluted with the increase in batch size and the opening of new IITs. The top recruiters know the difference between old and new IITs and thus the packages offered are different. BITS is known for its cutting-edge infrastructure and no-reservation policy.
Overall, BITS is the best option for you!
IIT Bombay and IIT Madras were established in 1958 and 1959 respectively. Both these institutions have emerged as highly renowned centers of Engineering studies in India. Both IIT Bombay and IIT Madras are more than an institution, they are in fact a brand with a high relevance and strong network in the industry.
The ‘Bombay’ or ‘Madras’ is a part of this brand name. This is not the address of these institutions, as both these cities have long been renamed as Mumbai and Chennai respectively. The institution name has not been altered because of the prestige and legacy carried by both these titles.
Thus, IIT Bombay and IIT Madras haven’t been renamed over the years.
IIT Hyderabad and IIT Madras are some of the most prestigious engineering institutes in India. There’s a huge competition to get into either of them, and both accept JEE Advanced results for B.Tech admissions.
Here is a comparison between B.Tech EEE at IIT Hyderabad and B.Tech Mechanical at IIT Madras-
Parameters | B.Tech EEE at IIT Hyderabad | B.Tech Mechanical at IIT Madras |
---|---|---|
Highest Package (2023) | INR 63.78 LPA | INR 66.26 LPA |
Average Package (2023) | INR 20.07 LPA | INR 15.92 LPA |
Top Recruiters on Campus | Google, Oracle, Deloitte, Paytm, Accenture, Jio, Razorpay, L&T, Paypal, KPM. | Texas Instruments, Bajaj Auto Ltd, Cetak Ltd, Qualcomm, and others. |
Total Fee | INR 8 Lakh | INR 2.15 Lakh (1st Yr Fee) |
Curriculum | Microwave Engineering, Communication Theory, Semiconductor Packaging Technology, Introduction to Automated Testing, VLSI Digital Signal Processing. | Functions of Several Variables, Physics 1, Thermodynamics, Introduction to Programming, Chemistry, Engineering Mechanics, etc. |
Both the options offer equally good academics and placements. But if Mechanical Engineering truly interests you, I would suggest you opt for IIT Madras without second thoughts. Take some time and thoroughly think about your interest and passion before choosing one branch over the other.
