Is it better to do ECE (Electronics and Communication Engineering) by IIIT Nagpur or Electrical Engineering by VJTI?

I have a few friends at VJTI and they are not happy with the Electrical Engineering program offered by the institute. Here are some of the things that they mentioned about the institute. In VJTI, there has been a lack of good faculties for ages. Most of the professors in VJTI lack sufficient experience to deliver proper lectures and provide proper practical exposure to students. Due to the lack of faculties in VJTI, there are walk-in interviews conducted by the institute to hire faculties. But, even in those interviews, there is no proper candidate with good enough experience. Some of the faculties are even from tier-3 colleges. There is no proper laboratory equipment available in VJTI, especially in the electrical engineering department. Almost 90% of the lab works are done through software simulations. The class timings in VJTI are not satisfactory for most students in the institute. On a usual day, classes start from 9 AM and continue till 5 PM, which most students think to be too long and hectic. Considering the above disadvantages of VJTI, ECE at IIIT Nagpur is a much better choice for students. Here is a brief overview of the ECE course at IIIT Nagpur. Course Fee 9.41 LPA Average CTC 7.70 LPA Highest CTC 20 LPA Major Recruiters Goldman Sachs, L&T Infotech, Bosch Ltd. Hope this helps.

Admission to IIIT Nagpur is based on the JEE Mains exam, followed by a seat allotment process through JOSSA, which includes seven rounds of counseling and two special rounds. The faculty, mostly PhD holders from prestigious institutions, emphasize practical knowledge over rote learning. Academic rigor is high, with three phases of challenging exams. The fee structure is considered expensive, with an academic fee of approximately Rs. 1.05 lakh per semester and an annual cost, including hostel, around Rs. 3.5 lakh.

Total expenses for the B.Tech program range from Rs. 13-16 lakh. Despite the cost, fees are comparable to other IIITs and IITs, but the absence of a permanent campus is a concern. Established in 2016, the institute has strong placements, with rates between 80% and 95% and an increasing average salary package, reaching Rs. 14 lakh per annum in 2022-23. The highest package offered was Rs. 90 lakh, and the CSE department has a slightly higher placement rate (97%) than ECE (85%).

Top recruiters include Amazon and Goldman Sachs. Placement eligibility starts in the 7th semester, with internships available from the 3rd year, providing stipends of Rs. 30,000 to Rs. 80,000 per month. While there are no direct scholarships, the college assists with state and central government scholarships. Tuition fees for the four-year program are approximately Rs. 9.3 lakh, with annual costs between Rs. 2.1 to Rs. 2.5 lakh, and hostel fees ranging from Rs. 1.08 to Rs. 1.23 lakh.

Scholarships are available based on income and category, and education loans are facilitated by partner banks like SBI.

IIIT Nagpur:- Will you live or keep on deciding for life?

The college doesn't offer a separate scholarship for any minority class nor based on your merit. You need to be accessing state scholarships(if available) for the ease of paying the fees. The fees of IIIT Nagpur is around 13-14 lakhs for 4 years with academic fees being around 2.1 lakhs per year and hostel fees being 1.2 lakhs per year. Also, the placement drive is going very poor in this college based on the long running recession. So, students are bound to look for off campus placement drives. There are companies visiting our colleges currently, but there are not big companies coming.
