Which is a better option, EEE at IIT Dharwad, EC at BITS Pilani Hyderabad campus, EnI at BITS Pilani campus or ISE at RVCE?
IIT Dharwad is a recently established institute that attracts fewer companies and has a small alumni pool. On the other hand, BITS Pilani has graduated more than 50 batches.
The best option would be to take ECE in BITS Hyderabad or ENI in BITS Pilani. The reason I am against you joining a new IIT is that these IITs are not well-known among big companies and some recruiters don’t even consider them worthy of visiting. They know that these IITs can never be at par with the old ones. So it’s better to look beyond the IIT tag and go for BITS Pilani, an excellent choice indeed!
Can I get into MAIT or BVP for a B.Tech with a 5,160 rank in spot round ?I am Delhi general category
If you are from the general category, then it is a bit difficult to get MAIT with a 5,160 rank in the spot round. However, you can try for the Mechanical branch in the third round of counseling.
Among MAIT, and BVP the former is the better option when compared in terms of academics, opportunities, and placement records of past years. The placement statistics recorded as per the latest recruitment drive are as follows for both the colleges.

What should I prefer, IT in IIIT Allahabad or ECE in NIT Hamirpur?
It is unfair to compare IIIT Allahabad with NIT Hamirpur. If you take a look at the closing cutoff for IIIT Allahabad and NIT Hamirpur, the difference will be clear.
If you have the option to choose IIIT Allahabad, go for it without giving it a second thought. Now if you clear the cutoff for IT at IIIT A, you will be eligible for ECE as well.

I have many friends at IIIT Allahabad and based on what I heard from them I will suggest you choose the institute.
Is the electrical course better than the mechanical course at PEC in Chandigarh?
Two years ago, one of my friends was in the same situation. He could have taken electrical and sit for every company’s placements. If he chooses mechanical, then only core opportunities are open. Given the circumstances, he chose electrical in the first round of counseling. It was so because he would at least get a chance to sit in almost every business.
Sitting in a good company does not guarantee a good job, and mechanical engineering at PEC is far superior to that of many NITs and even IITs. Trusting his seniors and teachers, he switched to mechanical on the spot round to which he doesn't regret till now.
If you're interested in electrical, go for it. Since my friend had no particular interest in any of these subjects, he preferred mechanical over electrical.
Which is the better option in CSE at NIT (Goa, Jamshedpur, Srinagar, Surat, Patna, Durgapur, or Hamirpur)?
It is suggested that among these you should get enrolled in the institution which is nearest to your hometown. And if they offer good facilities for CSE courses you can then depend on it.
As per the NIRF Rankings your preference for choosing an institution among these should be as follows:
- National Institute of Technology Durgapur
- Sardar Vallabhbhai National Institute of Technology, Surat
- National Institute of Technology Goa
- National Institute of Technology Jamshedpur
- National Institute of Technology Hamirpur
- National Institute of Technology Srinagar
Considering that you choose from among the top two of the above-mentioned list. My brother went for SVNIT Surat in the year 2018 based on certain other factors involved.
You can refer to the tables mentioned below for the placement statistics of both these institutions for the year 2020.
| Categories | CSE at NIT Durgapur | CSE at SVNIT Surat |
| Course Fee | 5.56 lakh | 5.63 lakh |
| Highest CTC | 33 LPA | 37.5 LPA |
| Average CTC | 9.09 LPA | 14.18 LPA |
| Recruiting Companies | Infosys, TCS, PWC, Deloitte, etc. | HSBC, DE Shaw, Cognizant, IBM, etc. |
For the other institutions mentioned, you can check out the official website or some online portal to get an idea about the status of placement at these institutions. Lastly, make your choice after thorough research and then only select an institution.
Which is better, IIIT, Allahabad for ECE or NIT Durgapur for ECE if I have a general 12k rank in the JEE Mains?
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.
Which is better CE at NIT Trichy or Mech. at MNNIT, Allahabad?
Some of my friends studied at MNNIT, so I might be able to answer your question. It is suggested that you choose Mechanical at MNNIT Allahabad rather than Civil at NIT Trichy.
Your branch of choice is more important than your college preference. In terms of opportunities, Mechanical Engineering has a slight advantage over Civil Engineering
Mechanical at MNNIT Allahabad has a consistent placement record. Mechanical students receive more job offers than Civil Engineering graduates. PSUs often choose Mechanical Engineering graduates.
| Categories | Civil at NIT Trichy | Mechanical at MNNIT Allahabad |
| Course Fee | 5.65 lakh | 6.55 lakh |
| Highest CTC | 22 LPA | 18-20 LPA |
| Average CTC | 9 LPA | 8-10 LPA |
| Recruiting Companies | IOCL, BHEL, Honeywell, Aricent, etc. | Aditya Birla, Info Edge, Phillips, Reliance, etc. |
Finally, everything depends on your interest and choice. So think wisely and then make any decision, because this will be the building blocks of your career.
Is EE the worst branch in Thapar University?
It’s not true that EE is the worst branch at Thapar. Electrical Engineering at Thapar is far better than any other college in India.
The Electrical Engineering Program at Thapar University is designed to prepare its graduates for continued learning and successful careers in industry, government, academia, and consulting.
Some merits of joining Thapar University -
- They help develop and excel in the field of Electrical Engineering with effective communication and management skills.
- At Thapar, you get good exposure along with a better understanding and knowledge about the subject.
- The faculties are cooperative at TU, who help you throughout your journey on TU.
Here are the recent placement highlights of TU.
| Highest CTC | 43 LPA |
| Placement average | 90% |
| Top recruiters | IBM, Wipro, Infosys, TCS |
Many of my friends are at Thapar University pursuing Electrical Engineering and I never heard any negative feedback about the program from them.
So, EE is not the worst at Thapar. However, there are possibilities that you might not find it as per your expectation but that doesn’t mean that the program is bad.
Should I join IGDTUW Delhi mechanical and automation, or PEC Chandigarh civil branch? Which is better?
Both IGDTUW Delhi and PEC Chandigarh are reputed colleges and are equally good but both these courses are very different from each other.
If you are interested in higher studies and want to do M.Tech or Ph.D., then only opt for PEC civil. The pressure for studies would be less. You also have no restrictions in doing extracurricular activities. Here you can focus on other things besides studies, like on your hobbies or learning and developing a new skill or a new language which can be helpful in your career.
Here’s a brief overview of the courses mentioned in the question.

Hope this answer clears some of your doubts.
Which is better: Civil NIT Trichy or CSE NIT Patna?
NIT Trichy is one of the top 10 institutions in India for Engineering, NIT Patna makes it to the 56th position in the NIRF Rankings 2023 for Engineering.
Despite this, I would suggest you go for CSE from NIT Patna. Out of my experience of meeting different people, I would suggest you choose a better course over a better institution. CSE is in demand these days, while Civil might not be a good choice placement-wise.
A friend of mine pursued his B.Tech in Civil Engineering from a top NIT. He did not land a decent job. After that, he cracked GATE and went for his M.Tech in Civil Engineering from DTU. Even after his M.Tech, he landed a package of INR 5.5 LPA.
Civil Engineers from IIT Guwahati in my friend circle started preparing for UPSC because of not getting a job.
I believe that a course tag is permanent unless you switch your stream during your Masters. Therefore, I would suggest you take CSE from NIT Patna instead of Civil from NIT Trichy.
