The institute observes a good blend of ECE core companies as well as IT companies, for students who may be interested in getting into the software sector.

Apart from this, your skills, individual performance in interviews, and overall CGPA will determine the results of your placements at Acharya Institute of Technology within the ECE branch.

As your choice of course is different, it’s hard to select between IIT Bhubaneswar and NIT Surathkal.

According to the NIRF 2019, IIT Bhubaneswar is ranked at 26, which is a good rank considering it’s a new IIT. The Mechanical Engineering department is quite good at IIT Bhubaneswar. According to the 2019 placement record, 83% students got job offers from Mechanical Engineering in IIT Bhubaneswar. Many famous companies such as Amazon, H Jindal Stainless Ltd, KEC International, KIIT, Rao Edusolutions, TATA steel, TATA Advance System, Thermax, TETCOS, TESCO, UHG, and other companies as well recruited students last year.

NIT Surathkal is a well-reputed name in Indian Engineering institutions. According to NIRF Ranking, it ranks at 22 nationally among engineering institutes in India. ECE in this NIT is even better as compared to a few IITs. The placement records of 2018-19 show that 97% of placement offers were received by students in this department. The average placement offer was 12-13 LPA.

Both IIT Bhubaneswar for Mechanical and NIT Surathkal for ECE are good choices with their own advantages. So, choose wisely according to your convenience.

ECE is a great branch and has a lot of research scope as well. IIIT- Allahabad is a great college with awesome infrastructure, amazing placements, and a growing reputation. Despite all this, some people say that ECE in IIIT- Allahabad is not up to the mark or appreciable.

Most of the students join IIIT Allahabad keeping in mind their coding culture. If you have an aptness for programming and want to pursue a career in the IT industry, go for IIIT Allahabad. People who have an interest in CSE/IT but fail to get a seat in a good engineering college join ECE in IIIT Allahabad just to get an IT-like atmosphere. 

Not many students who come to IIIT Allahabad are interested in the core fields or the core ECE material. But this doesn’t indicate ECE here to be bad or not up to the mark. The ones who work hard in the core fields reach different levels of heights in their academic career. They have great courses with the core subjects right from the first semester. The robotics lab and club are very well established and have a great reputation.

Talking about labs, IIIT Allahabad is known to have one of the best class labs in the country with all the required aid and mechanisms. The core subjects start from the first semester itself. So, you don’t need to study physics, chemistry, etc. The teachers are very nice and well educated. They are really very helpful, co-operative and approachable. 

The placement opportunities are great here, particularly in the IT sector. There is no point comparing EC with IT. IT/CSE placements are inferior in any college in India. The only disadvantage of joining ECE in IIIT Allahabad would be the peer group not taking interest in the core stuff. But if you are more concerned about yourself, it won’t matter much.

IIT Dhanbad ranks 15th among the Engineering category by NIRF 2019. It is a much older establishment than IIT Bhubaneswar. The fee structure for BTech in ECE at IIT Dhanbad is 2,30,120 for one year. It Requires a JEE ranking of 3000-10000 for ECE.

IIT Bhubaneswar ranks 17th in the Engineering category by NIRF 2019. It is one of the newer IITs. The students with JEE ranking between 2000-7000 are eligible for Electrical Engineering in IIT Bhubaneswar. IIT Bhubaneswar in 2019 has seen 89% placement in the Civil Engineering Department with an average annual salary package of 11 lakhs per annum, 39 lakhs per annum being the highest. IIT Bhubaneswar has a total of 145 faculty members who are highly qualified and Ph.D. holders. IIT Bhubaneswar has 2 hostels for boys and girls each.

IIT Bhubaneswar is the better option in this case. Civil engineering from IIT Guwahati has less scope as compared to ECE from IIT Bhubaneswar. Although IIT Guwahati is in the category of old IIT’s unlikely IIT Bhubaneswar and also comes at 7th among the engineering colleges in India.

IIT Bhubaneswar offers better placements for electrical and electronics & communication engineering. In 2019, electrical engineering had an 86% placement rate and the average package was around INR 11.44 LPA at IIT Bhubaneswar. At IIT Guwahati there were 77% placements for civil engineering.

If we compare on the basis of streams; Civil Engineering lacks behind ECE. Civil is easier than ECE but the decision depends on your interest and whichever course interests you more should be the first priority.
