Bachelor of Technology [B.Tech] (Electronics & Communication Engineering) From IET Lucknow, Lucknow

Choosing a particular college or a department actually depends on you, and how you want to shape your career ahead. Having known some people who study in both these institutions, I can say that they all have their fair share of strengths and weaknesses. 

I might not be able to help you select one among them, because they are both good in their own ways. So, I will share some information about them which might help you make the choice.

• ECE at IET Lucknow has one of the finest faculty. They also have a great student crowd.
• HBTU also has highly experienced faculty members.
• Placements at HBTU are also much better than IET Lucknow.
• The enrolled candidates of the GATE exam are really great.
• They also offer a vast alumni network unlike IET.

It is suggested that you go for the more experienced institute, as it will prove to be better for your career ahead. You will get to learn new skills and take part in seminars and industry visits, to get a slice of the corporate world.

The ECE department at IET Lucknow is not very impressive for pursuing higher education. 

• Sessions are scheduled quite casually and are very rare. 
• The placement it offers is similar to that of the other institutes which are affiliated with AKTU. 
• Mass recruiters like TCS are among the only few good options available for candidates. 
• IET is a Government Institute and hence the fee charged from candidates is lesser than that of Private institutions. 
• The institute is quite popular among the student communities in the state of UP.

You can check out the details of the placement of the institute in the table down below:

I would suggest that you go for ECE at IET and then start preparing for competitive examinations and opt for GATE or CAT. For more details about the institute, do navigate through the official website of the college. 

IET Lucknow has a decent reputation in the industry. Therefore, the aggregate placement of the institute is satisfactory. In general, the campus depends upon the students, teachers, and the college.

The ECE branch has average placement. But if you are expecting jobs in core companies then you will be disappointed. There are very few core job offers in the placement drive. However, you will get good opportunities in CSE or IT core companies. So, it’s better to work on your computer language (c++, Java) skills. 

The companies that come for the campus are LT, Aditya Birla Group, NTPC, Power Corporation Limited, BHEL, RDSO, DRDO, DLW, RDSO, BEL, BHEL, BARC, IOCL, BSNL, and more. The median CTC offered in the campus drive is 5 LPA. If you work hard, you’ll successfully get placed.

CSE is considered a better option than ECE in today’s current scenario and has much better scope and field of work. The scope for CSE broadens with each passing day and with every new invention in the fields of technology and the IT sector. Although ECE is one of the core branches of IET Lucknow still CSE has more demand compared to it.

Following are some drawbacks of the ECE branch at IET Lucknow over CSE:

• You need a higher percentage of attendance to become eligible for exams. Less attendance leads to deduction of marks.
• The syllabus is huge for every semester
• The professors are very strict with the evaluation process and do not give marks easily
• There are a lot of lab practicals and assignments to complete in a very short period of time.

CSE has a better environment than ECE with no strict attendance regulation. The professors in the CSE department are friendly. The placement of the CSE branch is far better than any other branch in IET Lucknow. 

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:

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.
