One of my acquaintances has a better opinion on the same. He says that if you opt to take admission at IIIT Allahabad, then you are more likely to have better opportunities in the IT field.

• Mostly, the students of ECE are thoroughly engaged in coding and are known to study ECE because of reasons that center around only graduating.
• While, on the flip side, in VNIT Nagpur, the students pursue ECE because they are interested in it.
• However, the placements of IT field are more likely to surpass the number of placements seen in ECE fields. This is because the core hardware companies relatively do not share the same amount of trust with the freshers.
• If you want to obtain a better salary package after graduating from a B.Tech course, then going for IIIT, Allahabad can be a superior option.
• While, if you relevantly want to pursue your career in most of the core ECE companies, then it is suggested that you opt for VNIT, Nagpur.

Yet, here is a brief data about the overall placement, course fees and more about both the institutes,

However, in most cases, 10-15% of students choose ECE companies, but ever since software companies have become high-paying, several students tend to rather opt for an IT job profile.

I have friends studying at both IIIT Lucknow and NIT Patna, and according to their first-hand experience, IIIT Lucknow is the better choice here. Here’s what you need to know.

• Curriculum: IIIT Lucknow has a great curriculumin terms of syllabus, classes, and coding culture. The competitive environment drives you to excel in every field.
• Facilities: You will get high-tech facilities in IIIT Lucknow designed for engineering and coding. Events like Hackathons and other tech fests are equivalent to IIIT Allahabad.
• Placements: My friend who completed his B.Tech from IIIT Lucknow experienced that your placement highly depends on how much you use online videos, courses to excel in your respective branch. Overall you need to be active and focus on improving your skills which might help you grab decent job packages. Moreover, the highest CTC recorded to 43 LPA while the average CTC is 18.4 LPA.

Check out some of the reasons why you shouldn’t choose NIT Patna.

• Poor infrastructure: Unfortunately, the institute is not making much effort to improve facilities, organizing tech events. This is because they are currently focusing on the construction of the new campus of NIT Patna at Bihta near IIT Patna which is bound to be completed by 2024.

• Poor accommodation: You will have to adjust to double or triple seater rooms because you won’t get a single-seater room in all of your 4 years. Also, the PG options are not good in the surrounding area.

• Poor mess food: Just like the infrastructure, the Hostel Mess Committee is too reluctant to improve food quality in spite of knowing everything. Also, you won’t get any good quality restaurants nearby or any online food ordered after 10 pm.

• Outdated curriculum: Institute is still following the old curriculum and has outdated labs. Even the Classrooms are too outdated with broken benches and no Projectors are used to teach.

• Lack of extracurricular: There is a lack of proper clubs, sports facilities, tech-fests, and coding culture.

Overall, ECE at NIT Patna is not a good option. Go for CSE IIIT Lucknow any day for a great curriculum, great facilities, great location, and great placements. Also, the CSE branch gets you more chances of better placements in most colleges in India.

First of all, both the branches differ a lot from each other. Thus, you need to understand which branch you are inclined to. Also, keep in mind that you can change your field from ECE to CSE but not vice versa. So, choosing CSE can get you an advantage in many ways. My friend is currently studying CSE in MSIT and here’s what his experience says.

Dedicated faculty: Most teachers are well experienced and really enjoy what they teach you. If you have even smallest of the doubts, do not hesitate as they will assist you whenever you need them. Especially in the CSE department, teachers are really cooperative.

Infrastructure: If you visit both MSIT and MAIT, you will find that MAIT has a tad bit better infrastructure.

Location: MSIT definitely has a location advantage as you can find various hangout spots around the institute and even the nearest metro of Janakpuri East is just 5 minutes away. On the other hand, MAIT lacks proximity to metro and hangout spots.

Placements: While both the colleges have great placements, the CSE branch will get you better packages and increased opportunities, like any other college In India.

According to the recent placement data the highest and average CTC offered at MSIT is 47 LPA and 3.6 LPA. For MAIT the average and highest CTC is 3 LPA and 28 LPA.

All in all, both MAIT and MSIT are reputed private colleges of Delhi. The biggest thing that makes the difference here is the branch you choose. No doubt CSE has an upper hand over ECE as mentioned above.

One of my cousins is an ECE graduate of BVCOE (IPU). Here are her two cents about the placement at the institute.

• Placement records of MAIT IPU are quite good. However, it depends on whether you want to pursue a core ECE job or an IT job focused on programming. It means, obtaining a core ECE job would be quite difficult because there is little to no company that would offer a core job on the campus placement.
• Although, if you are looking for placement in an IT company, then your chances of acquiring a good placement are fairly on the positive side.
• More essentially, nearly everyone gets a placement, if they are from the background of CSE, IT, or ECE branch. It is because they are usually considered more competent to fit in IT firms such as TCS, Infosys, and several others.
• The average package has been recorded to 3.50 LPA whereas the highest salary is 28 LPA.

Thus, if you have scored 70% or above with no backlog history, then the chances of you obtaining a job in any IT company are good. In addition, if you are good with programming, then your chances of getting placed in top IT companies will considerably be more.

A few of my friends are pursuing CSE at Amrita University and here are some tips according to their experience -

Considering many reviews that Amrita University is not up to the mark, it is suggested to drop one year and prepare well so that you can get a good seat at NIT at least.

You can try BITSAT as well. But don’t spoil your future by going into any college, which you will regret throughout your life.

However, make the right choice. It is suggested you opt for better colleges and drop out and prepare for the exams this year. So that there will be a chance of getting into a better college.
