What is it like to be in ECE branch at NIT Warangal/ Surathkal/Calicut? How is the campus life and placements (companies visiting, kind of jobs, average packages)?

I have a friend who studies in the ECE branch at NIT Warangal. I will break down his overall experience into simpler aspects Academics: The curriculum and academic life at NIT Warangal for ECE students is a bit more challenging than others. Some semesters have too many courses and it’s difficult to get free time. The grades are given a lot of importance and students face tough competition. Also, the faculty is not very approachable. Campus life: The campus life of students of all branches is similar. Equal opportunities and facilities are offered and students experience a productive ambiance where they can work on their passions. Hostels : The hostel facilities are top-notch and both old and new hostels are available. Students get a home-like feel in these cozy buildings and make friends for life. Mess food: Mess food is better than food served in intermediate hostels. However, students can opt for eating out if the food in the mess is unsatisfactory. The eateries outside serve decent food at low prices. Sports : The sports culture here is not very prominent and you won’t be forced to be involved in any such activities. Extracurricular : A number of clubs promote extracurriculars with ECEA being the most active association. Peer group: Your batchmates will be the most hardworking and smartest people in the institute so peer group quality should be the last thing to worry about. Placements : Both core and non-core placement opportunities are offered to ECE students. Here are the detailed stats for the same Placement Percentage 90% Students Placed 135 Highest CTC INR 52.89 LPA Lowest CTC INR 7 LPA Median CTC INR 21.4 LPA Average CTC INR 23.6 LPA NIT Warangal ECE is a great choice in terms of job and academic opportunities. So try to maintain a good GP to avail the maximum benefits.

Should I prefer CSE at NIT Calicut or ECE at NIT Warangal?

Choosing between CSE and ECE is a matter purely based on personal inclinations. While one branch may be good for you, it may not be for someone else, and vice versa. However, in terms of both academics and placements, NIT Warangal clearly has the upper hand. NIT Warangal is among the top 3 NITs and is better than NIT Calicut in almost every aspect. Its laboratory facilities and faculty are among the best.

Average packages are a better means of evaluating the placement scenario, and that being said, NIT Warangal is a better option.

Student Snaps:

Tuition fee is absolutely reasonable compared to other institutions because your 4 years of education costs around 5 lacs only. You will be getting scholarships like NSA. There was hike in our hostel fees recently so considering that fees are higher here.

Nit Warangal-Dream of Many

Total fee structure for students will be in affordable range compared to many other BTech colleges.The tution fee for the semester is 62500 rs. If the income is less than 1 lakh you need not pay the fee and if parents income is less than 2 lakh, student need to pay half it the tution fee. If the student belongs to SC or ST, student need not to pay any tution fee. The institution will take care of the tution fee. Apart from tution fee, if student can't afford the fee, student can apply for the scholarships which will be given based on the merit rank and the financial status of the student. The student with low income and high merit rank can easily get the scholarships like NSP. Students can apply for internships which can offer experience and provide money at the se time.Nsp will provide money for the student laptop and give money about 1 lakh in first year and 50000 from next year.

Review of nit Warangal

Here is a fee remission based on income of family. If the total income of the family is above 5 lakhs the student has to pay total fee i.e., 62500 per semister. If the total income of family is below 5 lakhs and above 1 lakh the student has to pay 20 percent of total fee.If the total income of family is below 1 lakh then the student no need to pay the fee
