Before deciding on any institute you should analyze it based on different parameters. Check if the college provides good facilities like hostels equipped with a good and stable internet connection, good food, satisfactory infrastructure, and the most important, a good campus placement drive. Both IIIT Allahabad and NIT Durgapur offer above-average facilities. Here is a brief outline of the institute.

If we look at the placement scenario closely, we can see that IIIT Allahabad has a better placement record and gets more companies. They also provide a higher package to their students. This does not make NIT Durgapur bad. Even NIT Durgapur provides good placements as well as opportunities for higher studies as well.
Both the colleges have a similar kind of course curriculum and nobody can force you to study.
It is not fair to compare the two universities because both of them are unique in themselves and have their charm. So, choose according to your convenience.
Chemical Engineering and ECE, both the branches are in demand. The major scope of Chemical Engineering is in chemical, food processing, pharma, medical industries, oil, and gas, etc.
The major scope of ECE is in android, mobile, and telecommunication. The majority of the students prefer ECE because of two reasons. The first reason being comfort. Secondly, after acquiring skills in programming languages, it is easy to switch to the IT or software field.
Here is a brief overview of CE at NIT Calicut and ECE at IIIT Jabalpur.
Institute | NIT Calicut | IIIT Jabalpur |
Average CTC | 11 LPA | 9.9 LPA |
Highest CTC | 43 LPA | 23 LPA |
Major recruiters | CISCO, Bosch, TATA Group | IBM, Amazon, Facebook, Microsoft |
Course fee | 2.08 lakhs | 5.29 lakhs |
If you don’t have any particular inclination towards any branch you can go for ECE at IIIT Jabalpur.
If you are trying to compare two colleges, such as NSIT and DTU, it is recommended to choose the one that is closer to your place. This will make it easier for you to commute, save time, and avoid any unnecessary expenses related to travel and accommodation.
However, when it comes to comparing NSUT (NSIT) and MNNIT Allahabad, NSUT (NSIT) does have an advantage. NSUT (NSIT) is considered one of the top engineering colleges in India, known for its excellent infrastructure, faculty, and research facilities. It offers a wide range of undergraduate and postgraduate programs in engineering, science, and technology.
On the other hand, MNNIT Allahabad is also a reputed engineering college but is located in a smaller city as compared to NSUT (NSIT). The city may not offer the same exposure and opportunities that Delhi can provide, especially in terms of internships, industrial visits, and campus placements.
Therefore, if you have the option to choose between NSUT (NSIT) and MNNIT Allahabad, it may be advisable to opt for NSUT (NSIT) if you are looking for a top-tier engineering college in a metropolitan city. However, this decision ultimately depends on your individual preferences and priorities, and you should weigh all the factors before making a final decision.
IIIT Allahabad and MNIT Jaipur are institutes of national importance. But if you like coding, it's not wise to search for options in ECE. ECE is a hardware-related program dealing with communication, whereas CS deals with software.
For the NIT tag, you can choose SVNIT. Among the IIITs, the best will be IIIT Bangalore ad it provides the best research opportunities. But, the best choice as per your interest is B.Tech Hons. Computational Sciences from DA-IICT.
The reasons are below.
The fee and placement of DA-IICT are as follows.
Tuition Fee |
7.28 Lakhs |
Average Package |
10.16 LPA |
Highest Package |
39.3 LPA |
Overall, DA-IICT is worth joining for the CS program. It will reap excellent results.

Both of the colleges have their own specialties. It depends on your purpose for doing any of the mentioned courses. One of my friends graduated from DTU and he mentioned a few points about the same which may be helpful for you-
Categories | Engineering Physics at DTU | ECE at IIIT Una |
Course Fee | 7.81 lakh | 8.16 lakh |
Highest CTC | 15-16 LPA | 16 LPA |
Average CTC | 8-9 LPA | 8 LPA |
Recruiting Companies | Optum, Tech Mahindra, TCS, IBM, etc. | Google, Microsoft, Accenture, Capgemini, etc. |
Hence, it is up to you what is your purpose behind taking a course, if it’s research, go for engineering physics and if it’s about taking a decent job in the field of Electronics, then go for IIIT Una.
ECE and CSE are two different departments, providing separate career opportunities. VIT Chennai and Amrita University Bangalore offer decent placement to students in these departments.
The points below give a brief overview of both the choices:
Therefore, both ECE at VIT Chennai and CSE at Amrita Bangalore are good options. It is the choice of the student as to what excites him/her the most and opts for a degree in the same.
As an IIT Bhubaneswar student, I can vouch for civil engineering at IIT Bhubaneswar. I can share some insights about the institution.

A few of my friends graduated from both IET DAVV and JEC. They say that the choice mostly varies according to your interests and the plans you have for your future.
Categories | ET in IET DAVV | CSE in JEC |
Course Fee | 2.74 lakh | 22,300 (1st year) |
Highest CTC | 20 LPA | 7-9 LPA |
Average CTC | 6 LPA | 3.5 LPA |
Recruiting Companies | TCS, Phillips, Tech Mahindra, Mu Sigma, etc. | Wipro, Persistence, Capgemini, Infosys, etc. |
Finally, IET is a better college compared to JEC but the ET course at IET is mediocre while the CS branch has a great scope. However, the final decision is up to you. Choose wisely.
As a student of B.Tech ECE at IIT Bhubaneswar, I can shed some light on my department:
Here’s a comparison between B.Tech ECE at IIT Bhubaneswar and IIT Dhanbad for your reference:

Though the choice ultimately depends upon you, out of personal experience, I can assure you that pursuing B.Tech ECE from IIT Bhubaneswar is a good choice. You’ll get a peaceful campus environment and qualified faculty at IIT Bhubaneswar. Otherwise, in terms of placements, both the colleges perform equally well.
