If you are planning to go for electronics and communication technology (EnTC) then opt for VIIT Pune.
It has a well-strategic academic curriculum for EnTC and the placement rate is also highly appreciable. The average salary is Rs 5.44 lakh. It has a beautiful campus, central library, conference room, and seminar hall which will win your heart. Whereas for PCCOE, Pune you'll find decent placement with a very average salary. You will find a wide variety of opportunities at VIIT.
The most unique feature that makes VIIT special is its best-known faculties in Pune, having tie-up with different colleges, government research institute, projects that will offer your better exposure and credible opportunities in your internship as well as in your job.
Being an autonomous institute now, you'll get a B.Tech degree instead of a BE degree, and it will get you a better project and help you enhance your resume profile.
Students at VIIT are offered a 6-month internship with a reputed company. On the other hand, in PCCOE, there is a rare opportunity for an internship. Students have only received a maximum of 2-week internship and learned nothing.
In terms of placements, VIIT is the best when compared to PCCOE. The table below shows the statistics for VIIT:
Academic year |

Average salary (LPA) |

Hence at VIIT Pune, you'll get open to new projects and internships during your course which will help you in building your skills and knowledge.
Among both these institutes it will be better if you go for ECE at Heritage Institute of Technology (HIT) than CE at Mizoram University (MZU).
Categories | ECE at Heritage Institute of Technology | CE at Mizoram University |
Course Fee | INR 4.04 LPA | INR 6.85 lakh |
Placement Percentage | 70-80% | 50-60% |
Highest CTC | 28 LPA | 10 LPA |
Average CTC | 8-10 LPA | 3-5 LPA |
Recruiting Companies | TCS, Accenture, Cognizant, HCL, etc. | TCS, Tech Mahindra, Wipro, Infosys, etc. |
Therefore, as HIT provides such better opportunities for students it is recommended that you go for it rather than choosing MZU.
BITS is the better choice among all as CSE has more scope than ECE. And NIT Surathkal is an old institute with a better placement record than IIT Bhubaneswar.
Since BITS Hyderabad is the newest among all other campuses and it certainly is a little behind in terms of faculty, infrastructure, etc. But when compared on a national level it is on par with any other institute. It provides the students with a prime location to look for internships and also provides an edge to them if they are opting for off-campus placements. Although the institute provides students with decent opportunities for on-campus placements also. Around 200 companies visit the campus each year and around 94% of the student secured a job through campus placements with an average package of around 5-6 lakhs per annum and the highest package offered was as high as 14 lakhs per annum.
NIT Surathkal is among the top NITs of this country. The placements of students of this branch are also good although NIT Trichy and Warangal have better placement records. The average placement package offered at this NIT is around 14.15 LPA and 100% placement was observed for B.Tech batches in last year’s placement drive.
ECE is one of the new branches that started at IIT Bhubaneswar starting from 2016. Hence the first batch of students will graduate in 2020. In 2019, the average CTC offered in this IIT was 11.44 LPA. Many core companies, software companies, PSU’s, etc. hire electrical engineers from IIT Bhubaneswar hence one can assume the same trend to be followed for electronics and communication engineering also but the result is yet to be seen.
Before giving you my opinion, let’s look at some statistics. India Today Engineering ranks KIET Ghaziabad at 148 out of 238, whereas NIRF Engineering ranks ABES Ghaziabad at 251-300 out of 300.
KIET is one of the top engineering colleges in Uttar Pradesh. They have excellent professors who are distinguished PhD holders from reputed institutes.
The total cost for the 4-year BTech ECE course in KIET is INR 5.56 Lakhs. The placements of the ECE branch are also quite good. The overall placement percentage for 2023 is 90.95%. The average CTC is INR 5.10 LPA and the highest CTC is INR 18.15 LPA. You’ll have amazing internship opportunities as well.
According to me, BTech ECE at KIET will be a good option if you want affordability as well as quality education.
BMS Institute of Technology and Management (BMSIT) is affiliated to Visvesvaraya Technological University, Belagavi. It is ranked 169 for BTech by NIRF 2020. It is set by BMS Educational Trust and is recognized by AICTE and NBA. They have 162 faculty members.
Acharya Institute of Technology (AIT) is affiliated to Visvesvaraya Technological University, Belagavi with a faculty strength of 300 members. The student population is 4,432 across all the departments. It is an autonomous institution recognized by UGC and AICTE.

CSE will be a better choice than Telecommunication Engineering because there is a constant demand for computer engineers in today’s rapidly growing corporate industry. CSE is the most in demand engineering course. Due to its scope and popularity it is better to choose CSE for moving your career ahead. But students interested in pursuing Telecommunication Engineering can always go for that.
The ECE program at IIIT Hyderabad is more focused on IT than Electronics because IIIT Hyderabad itself is an IT institute. Other colleges have a lot of non-IT courses in the first year of their ECE program whereas IIIT Hyderabad ECE has no such courses in the firsts year
ECE stands for many things in different places. ECE in IIIT is Electronics and communication engineering. However, unlike Electronics in other institutes. IIIT Hyderabad ECE program does not include courses such as electrical machines, electric drives, power systems, power electronics, and related labs and workshops.
The students of both ECE and CSE at IIIT Hyderabad are taught common courses sin the first year after which students can take CS courses as electives. Some of these include Statistical Methods in Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, Computer Vision, Artificial Neural and Networks (ANN).
IIIT Hyderabad does not have official CS and ECE departments enabling students from any stream to join any research center irrespective of the program they are enrolled in.
IIIT Hyderabad ECE placements are great

I am a second-year student of ECE at IIT Bhubaneswar.
I think you can go for B.Tech ECE at IIT Bhubaneswar. Even though DTU is a reputed institute, it is mostly known in the Northern parts of India. On the other hand, IIT Bhubaneswar carries the IIT tag, which is recognised nationally and globally.
As a central institution, IIT Bhubaneswar has a more diverse crowd as compared to DTU (also because DTU has a huge Delhi quota). This allows for a better exposure and exchange of values. This will in turn, help you in your profession when dealing with people from diverse socio-cultural backgrounds.
ECE is as good a branch as CoE/CSE, and you can easily get a job at an IT firm by learning coding on the side. Moreover, ECE students are allowed to sit for a large number of IT companies during placements.
Here’s a comparison between IIT Bhubaneswar and DTU for your reference:

Since the placements at both the institutions are good, I would recommend you consider the other factors and choose B.Tech ECE at IIT Bhubaneswar.
