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:
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:
Particulars | IET Lucknow | NIT Uttarakhand |
Total Fees | 3.44 Lakhs | 5.87 Lakhs |
Highest Package | 36 LPA | 10.5 LPA |
Average Package | 5 LPA | 6.8 LPA |
Total Offers | 100+ | 90 |
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.
Yes, you can undeniably secure a seat at IET Lucknow. Having said that, you can conveniently reserve a seat in either CS or IT at IET Lucknow. Other than that, you can also try obtaining admission at either of these institutes as well, that is, KNIT Sultanpur or BIET Jhansi.

So, yes there are chances for you to get into IET Lucknow.
KIIT will take all of your parents' hard-earned money. They will allow your entire batch to sit in some 2 to 4 average companies through campus placement, but if you want to work for any services-based IT company, you can get admission to KIIT. If GATE/IES/PSU is your goal, it is best to study in a college that is close to your home and has lower fees.
HBTI is the best not only in UP but across the country, with an excellent alumni base dating back to 1921. Each year, the best students from UP attend this prestigious institute.
IET is not bad, but when compared to HBTI, it falls short in terms of placements, alumni base, academics, and so on.
I would suggest you to go for JMI Delhi. The reason for this is that JMI is very similar to the NITs. The environment and crowd are top-notch. Seniors at Jamia are also very helpful and cooperative.
The professors and other members of the faculty are well-experienced. They even help you plan your career after college. JMI alumni help you out in getting jobs and a decent salary amount.

Though it is your decision to make, I still would prefer the fact that you choose JMI Delhi over IET Lucknow, for CSE or ECE. Studying in a well-reputed institution with years of educational experience is much better. This will help in networking as well.
I have a few friends from IET, so I think I can give some information about the institute. Here are some points to consider.
Securing admission at IET Lucknow can be a very good choice. It is considered amongst the several top institutes of the country.
Choosing between NIT and IET Lucknow will be a tough task. As both have their own qualities and reputation.
This is a brief information I am able to provide. I hope it helps you in choosing the best college for yourself.

It is advised to join HBTU Kanpur or IET Lucknow than IIIT Bhopal, as the former are an older establishment than the latter which is comparatively new. Classes at IIIT Bhopal are scheduled according to MANIT Bhopal. Also the students are provided RGPV hostels. So it will be better if you go for HBTU.
