Is it better to take ECE in NIT, Nagaland or EEE in NIT, Meghalaya (on the basis of future job prospects)?

EEE and ECE are both totally different branches and both of them have their respective job opportunities. After a lot of research, I got to know about NIT Meghalaya and Nagaland. Let me discuss them, which might give you a better idea. In today’s world ECE has more opportunities in the private sectors whereas EEE has got more opportunities in government sectors. They also have different requirements for the jobs. In ECE you just need to maintain a good CGPA, with the basics fully memorized and you are good to go. For EEE and getting a government job like PSU, you need to apply for GATE and get a good rank and score. Placement in the ECE stream is easier than the EEE stream. The placements of NIT Meghalaya are a little above Nagaland. You can change your course in NIT Meghalaya to ECE even after selecting EEE in the first semester. Categories ECE in NIT Nagaland EEE in NIT Meghalaya Course Fee 5.40 lakh 6.10 lakh Highest CTC 11 LPA 17.2 LPA Average CTC 5 LPA 5.2 LPA The most important thing is to make a choice based on your preference of course rather than the institute name since both of them are on equal terms in all aspects.

better nit in northeast area

The National Institutes of Technology (NITs) are the premier engineering colleges in India. The fees for studying in these institutes are relatively low compared to private engineering colleges, but they have been increasing over the years. In 2021, the Ministry of Education increased the fees for undergraduate courses in all the NITs, including NIT Meghalaya. The hike was in the range of 10-20%, and it was done to cover the increased costs of running the institutes. The national scholarship is available.
