How’s ECE at SVNIT Surat?

I have a close friend who studied from here, according to her experience, the preference order for branches at NIT Surathkal among students is as follows. CS>Mech>Electrical~ECE ECE - Highlights: Faculty- The lecturers are helpful and knowledgeable. But the faculty for other branches is better than ECE. Students aiming for CGPA above 9 should work hard. Subjects- The subjects covered in the course are quite interesting. You will have a chance to core electronics, communication, programming, and the electrical side. Placements- There is no big core company for ECE grad. in Surat, still, the on-campus placements are fine. John Deere, Master Card, and Airtel, and some software companies like JPMC, Carwale, etc are some of the recruiters for this course. The main reason for ECE being behind Mechanical is top-quality professors, core companies, being one of the oldest branches & huge class strength. ECE is not behind mechanical but mechanical is way ahead of ECE in SVNIT. Statistics- Particular SVNIT Surat (for ECE) Total fees 4.84 lakhs Average salary 7 LPA Highest salary 17.5 LPA There are definitely a few shortcomings for the ECE branch, but it is still ECE from NIT Surat.

Should I study IT from IIEST Shibpur or EC from SVNIT?

IT from IIEST Shibpur is a better choice than EC from SVNIT Surat. Both my classmates and I agree to the fact that IIEST Shibpur is a much better institute than SVNIT. The reasons for the same are given below – It is a common observation that many of the EC engineering graduates eventually work as software engineers, which is not their core domain. IT is very close to CSE in terms of coding and related works. You will definitely learn more in IT rather than EC even if you are interested in software. If you want you can learn software development and coding on your own, then go for the EC branch of SVNIT. But that will require a lot of effort, time management, and discipline. IT at IIEST, Shibpur will also give a mental satisfaction that you are working in the same field as intended while in EC at SVNIT you will probably have to join a job that is not related to your core EC subjects. Even if you are passionate about EC, the faculty in this department at SVNIT are not very good. They are too young for the job. Of course, there will be seniors and various clubs to help you out but faculty are at the core of any teaching system. Categories IT at IIEST Shibpur EC from SVNIT Course Fee 1.55 lakhs 5.47 lakhs Highest CTC 42 LPA 17.5 LPA Average CTC 18 LPA 8 LPA Recruiting Companies Microsoft, Deutsche Bank, Wells Fargo, ZS Associates etc. Amazon, Adobe, JP Morgan, IBM, etc. If you are really interested in EC then choose SVNIT. But if you are interested in coding and that is the job you want, then definitely IIEST, Shibpur should be your primary choice.

Review of Sardar Vallabhbhai National Institute of Technology, Surat

Course Curriculum Overview:

My branch is Electronics and Communication Engineering. It has 6 subjects per semester. Curriculum upto 2nd year is aligned with the GATE exam syllabus and after that it is towards practical and real world applications. We have Machine Learning and IoT courses with projects. In every semester some portion of the syllabus is always left due to lack of time. Frequency of exam is 1 per 2 weeks and difficulty level is moderate
