This query hints that you are not inclined towards a particular branch. Instead, you wish to opt for the best option as per your ranking. 

As per placements-

1. During 2022, B.Tech ECE at MNIT Jaipur recorded 97.75% placements, and the average package was 18.01 LPA. 

1. During 2022, MANIT Bhopal B.Tech CSE recorded an average CTC of 17.45 LPA.

1. This year, B.Tech Mechanical at MNNIT Allahabad recorded 90.24% placements, and the average CTC was 12.51 LPA.

Based on the average package, I would recommend you opt for either MNIT Jaipur ECE or MANIT Bhopal CSE. MANIT Bhopal is a good option for B.Tech CSE. You’ll have good placement prospects as a CSE student at this college. Do consult some seniors from all these colleges/branches to make a more informed choice. 

Considering this question, the first criteria are always the student’s preferences. According to that, they should choose the colleges, either NIT Srinagar or HBTI Kanpur.

NIT Srinagar is a reputed institute; additionally, HBTU is also an ancient and esteemed institute. The new Vice-Chancellor of the second one is completely dedicated to institutional development, and the institute is developing radically over the past few years.

Besides, if you consider the placement facts, then CSE is just edged that ECE regarding the CTC. But, ECE also has several opportunities in both Government and private sectors. It is also quite close considering the placements facts to CSE because IT companies also allow ECE students to sit in the recruitment process.

In the following, a brief overview has been given considering the placement facts of these two institutes.

Another important thing that you may consider is that location is which institute is nearer to your home.

So, it can be concluded that both of these institutes are equally good. One of my friends was a former student of HBTU, so he was quite partial to his institute, as he studied there, so he knew better.

From the year 2018, to get admission to HBTU, the student has to qualify 12th standard board exam from UP, or their parents must belong to the UP domicile.

One of my friends is a local of Jharkhand. He was eligible to get into all departments and ECE at NIT Jamshedpur except CSE, and he got into the same situation where he had to choose between IT at IIEST Shibpur and ECE at NIT Jamshedpur.

He chose IT at IIEST Shibpur and was satisfied with his decision. IIEST has a good campus which is given the INI tag, their seniors are also very good who motivate their juniors.

In the following table, you will get information on IT at IIEST Shibpur and ECE at NIT Jamshedpur.

Completed with a good campus, great seniors, and recently been given the INI tag, it has the energy and enthusiasm to excel and the Director of IIEST is a great person. He works hard to improve the place.

Many of my friends study at NIT Jamshedpur. It has a good infrastructure but not in better condition. Newly constructed hostels at NIT are also good. But officials of NIT are not promising.

Therefore, IIEST Shibpur is a better choice as it will give you many opportunities and give you a better experience.

IT from IIEST Shibpur is a better choice than EC from SVNIT Surat. Both my classmates and I agree to the fact that IIEST Shibpur is a much better institute than SVNIT. The reasons for the same are given below –

• It is a common observation that many of the EC engineering graduates eventually work as software engineers, which is not their core domain.
• IT is very close to CSE in terms of coding and related works. You will definitely learn more in IT rather than EC even if you are interested in software.
• If you want you can learn software development and coding on your own, then go for the EC branch of SVNIT.
• But that will require a lot of effort, time management, and discipline.
• IT at IIEST, Shibpur will also give a mental satisfaction that you are working in the same field as intended while in EC at SVNIT you will probably have to join a job that is not related to your core EC subjects.
• Even if you are passionate about EC, the faculty in this department at SVNIT are not very good. They are too young for the job.
• Of course, there will be seniors and various clubs to help you out but faculty are at the core of any teaching system.

If you are really interested in EC then choose SVNIT. But if you are interested in coding and that is the job you want, then definitely IIEST, Shibpur should be your primary choice.

Yes, you can change your branch from metallurgy to ECE after the 1st year. At IIEST Shibpur only 20% of students in each branch are given that choice except the architecture branch. There are the following conditions for changing branches:

1. You should not have past records of failure supplementary or re-admission.
2. You should not have any record of disciplinary action in the college.
3. Your dues should be clear to date.
4. This scheme is restricted to 5% of the total seats available in the various branches.
5. The reduction in the number of students in each branch should not go below 10% after the relocation.
6. You should have a good CGPA in the last semester. It should be above 8.4 points in the metallurgical department.

Allocations are given on the basis of the above conditions and if there is a tie between two students then the tie is broken through the CGPA marks in physics, chemistry, and math. One who has the highest marks gets the seat.
