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. According to the recent placement drives, the average CTC offered at NIT UK and IIIT Bhopal is 6.8 LPA and 4.5 LPA. IIIT Bhopal does not even have its own campus yet. 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.

Should I pursue ECE at a new IIIT like IIIT Bhopal or attend an NIT in one of the Seven Sister States?

Firstly IIITs are newly established colleges and hence they are far behind from good NITs. I have a friend in NIT Silchar. I heard good things about the institute from him. Here are some of the things that make NIT Silchar a good choice. It is 9th on the list of top 10 NITs. It is the second most premium institute in the northeast after IIT Guwahati. Placements here are top class with great infrastructure and world-class faculty. NIT Silchar is known for its Digital Library which is the biggest, not only in India but in entire South Asia. You should go for NITs and you won't regret it. Rest depends on your research and feasibility.

Dislikes

The curriculum of our college is very hard as compared to other colleges.

Student Snaps:

Tution fees of our college is very high as compare to other government colleges. Also they do not provide any scholarships by their own side. You have to apply for state and central scholarship by yourself only. Also we have very less oppurtunities for campus employments and teaching assistantship
