Which is better, IET Lucknow ME or NIT Uttarakhand ECE?

NIT Uttarakhand is the last choice of the majority of students among all other NITs. It has the lowest ranking, poor placement records, and no awards or academic excellence. It is considered a Tier 4 institute. On the other hand, IET Lucknow is a prestigious institution, especially for engineering students. It is one of the best UPSEE institutes in Lucknow. Moreover, it is considered academically strong and has earned good recognition. Check the following table for a brief insight on relevant statistics of both institutes: Particulars IET Lucknow NIT Uttarakhand Total Fees 3.44 Lakhs 5.87 Lakhs Highest Package 36 LPA 10.5 LPA Average Package 5 LPA 6.8 LPA Total Offers 100+ 90 Generally, ECE is better than ME but it applies to the institutes which are nearly on the same level. In this scenario, pursuing ME from IET Lucknow would be the better option in terms of placements, a recognition that would later help you in finding a job through off-campus placement.

Which is better NIT Uttarakhand ECE or IIIT Bhopal ECE?

NIT Uttarakhand ECE is definitely a better choice than IIIT Bhopal ECE. NIT UK is a well-established institute with good placement records, while IIIT Bhopal was established just a few years back. NIT Uttarakhand has the following advantages over IIIT Bhopal. NIT Uttarakhand is an old and established institute and has already gained recognition throughout India. The academics are better with experienced faculties. Decent placements record in all branches especially CSE and ECE. Better connection with the industry so can impart more practical knowledge to the student for the real issue in the industry.

The upside of choosing IIIT Bhopal is you will get to learn from the faculties of MANIT Bhopal. Bhopal is also a good location with better connectivity to the other parts of India. If you are okay going to a fairly new institute, then you can go for IIIT Bhopal. But if you want a convenient college life then choosing NIT UK will be better.

Admission to NIT Uttarakhand is based on the JEE Mains exam, with varying rank requirements for general and Uttarakhand residents. The admission process involves JOSAA counseling and document verification. The faculty, primarily holders of PhDs from prestigious institutions, offer personalized attention with a faculty-to-student ratio ranging from 1:4 to 1:10, though there is some lack of experience and frequent faculty changes. The temporary campus affects infrastructure, but faculty support remains strong.

Tuition fees are approximately Rs 80,000 per semester, with a hostel fee of around Rs 28,000, including refundable charges. Economically disadvantaged students benefit from income-based fee remissions and scholarships. The institute provides transparency in fee structures and offers online and offline payment options. Placements show promise, especially in the CS/IT sector, with average packages between 6-7 LPA and a highest of 38 LPA. The placement rate stands at 50%, with notable companies like Capgemini and Samsung R&D participating.

The ECE and Mechanical branches have high placement rates of 87% and 93% respectively, with the highest CTC for these reaching 21 LPA. Internship opportunities offer stipends up to 1 lakh per month. Despite challenges from its remote location and temporary campus, the college continually works to improve placement opportunities.

Not a perfect, but have potential to be

For general no ews, you have to pay whole fees which leads to the 8 lakh something per year, but if you have ews, obc with 5 lakh below annual income, you have to pay 30% of tuition fees. If you are sc, st or annual income is below 1 lakh then there is free tuition fees and you just have to pay mess or hostel fees. There are many scholarships you can apply to And the placements rate is good, even for ece branch there is 87% placement rate with the highest CTC 21 lakhs And 93% placement rate for mechanical branch.
