Should I join IIEST Shibpur or NIT Allahabad?

AR
Aditi Roy Posted On : April 19th, 2023
lives in Gwalior, Madhya Pradesh, India

 If you're considering NIT Allahabad and IIEST Shibpur for CS, ETC, or IT branches, it's worth noting that NIT Allahabad has better placement records than IIEST Shibpur. However, for Mechanical, Electrical, or other branches, the placements are almost the same in both places, and IIEST is growing and improving.

IIEST Shibpur has a better record of research and academics, while NIT Allahabad has better placements and the advantage of being an NIT.

The infrastructure of both institutions is comparable, and IIEST's ranking is increasing, while NIT Allahabad's remains stagnant. Still, many students choose colleges based on existing cutoffs and ratings, even if a better-performing institution exists.

For now, NIT Allahabad may be the better choice due to its NIT tag, but keep in mind that a tag doesn't guarantee success in the corporate world. Ultimately, placements depend on the skills and training of the students.

In terms of ranking, the order would be top NITs (such as Warangal, Trichy, Rourkela, and Suratkhal), followed by IIEST Shibpur and NITs like Durgapur, Allahabad, VNIT Nagpur, Surat, and Kurukshetra. Lower NITs such as Jamshedpur, Hamirpur, Agartala, Silchar, and Sikkim would come next, with NIT Uttarakhand, Goa, Mizoram, etc., bringing up the rear.

RS
Rishav Sinha Posted On : March 29th, 2023
Studied at Motilal Nehru National Institute of Technology, Allahabad

When deciding on which engineering branch to pursue, it is important to choose that interests you the most. If you are trying to choose between mechanical engineering at Jadavpur University and civil engineering at MNNIT Allahabad, it is important to consider your own personal interests and career aspirations.

You should go for the engineering branch that you like the most. This way, you will be able to enjoy your studies throughout your four years at the institute, and also during your future career.

Choosing an engineering branch based solely on external factors such as job availability or pay can lead to a lack of motivation and interest, which can ultimately negatively impact your academic performance and career growth. Therefore, it is crucial to choose an engineering branch that you are truly passionate about.

To determine which engineering branch is right for you, take some time to research and understand the differences between mechanical and civil engineering. Consider your strengths, interests, and career goals. Try to talk to professionals or alumni in both fields to gain insight into their daily work and experiences.

Remember, your decision is ultimately yours to make. Choose the engineering branch that you are truly excited about, and that will give you the best chance of success and personal fulfillment.
