How are placements for EEE at BIT Mesra, and does the big electrical MNC visit the campus?
The placements for EEE at BIT Mesra differ according to the year. However, they are not as good as they were a decade ago. Since the advent of GATE for the recruitment process of PSUs, they have stopped recruiting students from the campus.
A wide range of companies allows BIT Mesra EEE students to sit for the placement process-
- Coders are offered packages from Goldman Sachs, DE Shaw, Direct-I, etc.
- Freescale offers jobs to those who are good at core electronics.
- TATA Steel, Maruti, Mahindra, L&T, Trident, Mitsubishi, Orient, etc. offer positions to those who are good at core electrical.
- EXl, Mu-sigma, Stellium, etc. recruit students with good analytical skills.
Unless you are passionate about coding, as a EEE student, it is unlikely for you to be good at it, that is too good enough to beat a CSE/IT candidate. Also, EEE at BIT Mesra is negligent towards electronics. Therefore, in reality, only the last two categories are left for EEE students.
Thus, as a EEE student at BIT Mesra, you can get placed in the core electrical companies or companies like EXE, Stellium, etc. But if you wish to go for core electronics or coding, you will have to strengthen your knowledge and skills in these domains, all by yourself. The above-mentioned companies are the big MNCs that visit the campus with core electrical profiles.
Is an ENI in BITS Goa good, and is it better than NIT Surathkal's EEE?
ENI stands for Electronics & Instrumentation Engineering while EEE is Electrical & Electronics Engineering. Having known some people studying at both these institutions, I can say that BITS Goa is better than NIT Surathkal.
- In terms of infrastructure, BITS Goa is obviously better than NIT Surathkal.
- Better companies visit BITS Goa campus than NIT Surathkal.
- The course curriculum and the quality of academic projects are also better at BITS Goa.
- The faculty at BITS Goa is also top-notch.
- In between the two branches, both are almost the same barring a few subjects (3 subjects to be precise).
- The course load, placements, and projects all are similar between the two.
- As these are core branches, getting placed in the core companies is going to be difficult at either of the institutes.
| Categories | ENI at BITS Goa | EEE at NIT Surathkal |
| Course Fee | 19.19 lakh | 5.40 lakh |
| Highest CTC | 25 LPA | 30 LPA |
| Average CTC | 12-13 LPA | 15 LPA |
| Recruiting Companies | Arcesium, Goldman Sachs, nVidia, Texas Instruments, etc. | Qualcomm, L&T, Microsoft, Samsung, etc. |
Finally, I would say that ENI at BITS Goa is very good and actually might be a little better than EEE at NIT Surathkal.
BITS, Pilani EEE or IIT-BHU Mechanical?
I would always recommend you to go for BITS Pilani EEE over IIT BHU Mechanical. Here are a few points justifying my stance.
Academics: BITS Pilani EEE curriculum is modern and as per industry standards. The branch has a highly qualified pool of professors who make use of modern teaching methodologies and conduct lively sessions. the number of top-tier MS in EE, the infrastructure, and top-notch placements all prove the same. The infrastructure at IIT BHU is deteriorating and the labs are equipped with obsolete instruments bringing down the academic quality of the institute.
Network: BITS has a very elaborate alumni network and gives an edge to IIT BHU.The BITS network (BITSAA) is very well organized and the close-knit nature of the BITSian community is rarely matched by IITs.
Brand: Society in general considers the IIT tag to be of superior quality whereas the recruiters and top universities are aware of the BITS influence and thus it enjoys an equally good brand name. Moreover, the IIT branch seems to have diluted with the increase in batch size and the opening of new IITs. The top recruiters know the difference between old and new IITs and thus the packages offered are different. BITS is known for its cutting-edge infrastructure and no-reservation policy.
Overall, BITS is the best option for you!
Is it worth joining the EEE branch in the Amrita Amritapuri Campus?
I have a friend who is an alumnus from the 2007-11 batch of the EEE branch and based on her input, I would highly recommend you to join this campus! In case you miss out on getting into NIT/IIT, trust me, you should go for Amrita as your third-best choice.
My friend had completed her B.Tech from Amrita and went to a top-notch government college for her M.Tech. It would provide you exposure like no other renowned college in the whole of Kerala. My friend and her batchmates were experts in the microcontroller program. Their expertise led them to participate in programming for FPGA.
- The department and its faculties are highly qualified as expected. Most of the faculty members are doing their PhDs. Plus, some faculties are doing their PhDs from IITs as well.
- Reputed conferences and journals consist of work by the institute's faculty members and students. Good funding is carried out to food projects wherein my friend's batch was one amongst them too.
- The curriculum pattern is super flexible. A lot of spare time can be put into important projects and fast-track courses can be completed too.
- My friend got herself the extremely prestigious student exchange program- Erasmus Mundus. She is currently doing their research for reputed companies in the country and abroad.
- Since most of my friends and her batch-mates were offered jobs by that time, traveling to Coimbatore for that placement was not a big deal. This job opportunity came from companies like Renault, Schneider, Ericsson, etc.
Therefore, one should always consider joining Amrita for the EEE branch.
Which is better, IIT Hyderabad EEE or IIT Madras mechanical engineering?
IIT Bombay and IIT Madras were established in 1958 and 1959 respectively. Both these institutions have emerged as highly renowned centers of Engineering studies in India. Both IIT Bombay and IIT Madras are more than an institution, they are in fact a brand with a high relevance and strong network in the industry.
The ‘Bombay’ or ‘Madras’ is a part of this brand name. This is not the address of these institutions, as both these cities have long been renamed as Mumbai and Chennai respectively. The institution name has not been altered because of the prestige and legacy carried by both these titles.
Thus, IIT Bombay and IIT Madras haven’t been renamed over the years.
IIT Hyderabad and IIT Madras are some of the most prestigious engineering institutes in India. There’s a huge competition to get into either of them, and both accept JEE Advanced results for B.Tech admissions.
Here is a comparison between B.Tech EEE at IIT Hyderabad and B.Tech Mechanical at IIT Madras-
| Parameters | B.Tech EEE at IIT Hyderabad | B.Tech Mechanical at IIT Madras |
|---|---|---|
| Highest Package (2023) | INR 63.78 LPA | INR 66.26 LPA |
| Average Package (2023) | INR 20.07 LPA | INR 15.92 LPA |
| Top Recruiters on Campus | Google, Oracle, Deloitte, Paytm, Accenture, Jio, Razorpay, L&T, Paypal, KPM. | Texas Instruments, Bajaj Auto Ltd, Cetak Ltd, Qualcomm, and others. |
| Total Fee | INR 8 Lakh | INR 2.15 Lakh (1st Yr Fee) |
| Curriculum | Microwave Engineering, Communication Theory, Semiconductor Packaging Technology, Introduction to Automated Testing, VLSI Digital Signal Processing. | Functions of Several Variables, Physics 1, Thermodynamics, Introduction to Programming, Chemistry, Engineering Mechanics, etc. |
Both the options offer equally good academics and placements. But if Mechanical Engineering truly interests you, I would suggest you opt for IIT Madras without second thoughts. Take some time and thoroughly think about your interest and passion before choosing one branch over the other.
Which one is better, NIT Trichy CSE or IIT Delhi EE?
NIT Trichy and IIT Delhi are two highly ranked engineering colleges in India.

The branch-wise placement details for IIT Delhi are unfortunately not available. However, as seen above, both the colleges offer really good placements in B.Tech programs.
But IIT Delhi Electrical is a better option because this institution carries a bigger brand name, and the ‘IIT’ tag. This will be immensely important for you when applying for higher studies after your graduation. Moreover, plenty of employees give preference to an ‘IIT’ tag over an ‘NIT’ tag.
IIT Delhi is located in the national capital, which is really beneficial in terms of exposure. Moreover, IIT Delhi will give you much more opportunities as compared to NIT Trichy. You can learn coding in your leisure time while studying electrical, in case you are interested in working in the IT sector.
Because of these reasons, I would recommend you choose EE at IIT Delhi over CSE at NIT Trichy.
Which is better EEE at IIT Guwahati or CSE at DTU?
While IIT is a globally recognized brand, DTU is no less the mother institution of reputed colleges like IIT Delhi and FMS. It has been established got 83 years and is older than IITs. However, the institute is always the secondary thing to consider, the branch being the primary factor to focus on. Determine whether your interests lie in becoming a Computer Science engineer or an Electronics Engineer.
Personally, I would suggest you go for DTU CSE because of the following reasons:
Faculty: DTU has a rich pool of highly esteemed and well-qualified Professors with over an experience of more than 30 years of teaching
Campus: Located in a metro city, you are exposed to city life. You can also prepare for IAS, MBA, GRE, Language Courses, or coding courses as Delhi has the best coaching institutes.
DTU has a rich campus culture with over 120+ societies and 15+ Technical Teams.

Which should I choose: Electronics and Instrumentation in BITS Pilani Goa Campus, or Electrical and Electronics in NIT Surathkal?
Since both the colleges are considered highly reputable and among the best in the country, you should focus on the branch. The choice of the branch directly depends on your inclinations and future goals.
To make it easier for you I have explained each branch in short:
Electrical and Instrumentation:
- Instrumentation engineering is the engineering specialization that focuses primarily on the principle and operation of measuring instruments that are used in the design and configuration of automated systems in electrical, pneumatic domains, etc.
- These engineers usually work at chemical or manufacturing plants and their job role involves improving productivity, reliability, safety, optimization, and stability.
- They are responsible for designing devices that measure physical quantities such as pressure, flow, and temperature. You will require a lot of knowledge in physics much more than electromagnetic theory.
Electrical and Electronics:
- In this students learn to design electronic circuits, and computer systems and also develop control systems. Electronics play a key role in the implementation and control of electrical machines.
- The course mainly focuses on designing and testing ICs, inductors, capacitors and resistors and includes fundamentals and principles of physics, mathematics, computer science, and project management.
- The sub-disciplines of this branch are power, control, electronics, microelectronics and Signal Processing, Telecommunications, Instrumentation and Computers.
Although the choice depends on your own interests, EE has a better scope than EIE.
Which is a better option: IIT Guwahati CSE, IIT BHU CSE, IIT Bombay mech or IIT Kharagpur electrical and electronics communication?
- College wise - IIT Bombay > IIT Kharagpur > IIT Guwahati > IIT BHU
- Branch wise - CSE > ECE ~ Mechanical
However, this is simply a popular trend, and you don't have to follow it. It is best to make a decision based on your individual preferences.
Doing something that interests you is considerably superior in the long run to doing something you dislike solely for money since, after a few years, money no longer motivates you.
Here are some information to make your decision easier:-
- The placement scenario for ECE in IIT Kharagpur is good and stands next to the CS department in the table.
- Though ECE is the largest department when compared with others it still maintains its record well in placements.
- The NIRF Ranking of IIT Bombay is 3rd, IIT Kharagpur is 6th, IIT Guwahati is 7th and IIT BHU is 15th.
- The Average placement at IIT Bombay Mechanical is 21.82 LPA with IIT Kanpur ECE is 26.27 LPA, IIT Guwahati CSE is 25 LPA and IIT BHU CSE is 22.7 LPA
- More than 250 companies visited the IIT Kanpur campus in 2024.
What should I choose between BITS Pilani EEE or IIT Guwahati engineering physics?
Both BITS Pilani and IT Guwahati are reputable institutions with strong engineering programs. It’s highly recommended that you go through the contents of the curriculum once before opting for any major. Most students skip this and regret it later as they are forced to study courses they least expected. Go through the books of these courses and determine if the matter intrigues you or not.
IIT Guwahati Engineering Physics program covers a wide spectrum of fields. Although the placement scenario is average, it definitely quenches your thirst for knowledge of Physics and also prepares you for higher studies.
Another good option for core physics is MSc at Kanpur or Kharagpur. Although EP will expose you to multiple options, you will require another degree. It’s better to analyze your interests deeply before making the final decision.
As far as the EEE at BITS Pilani is concerned, I am strongly against anyone joining BITS irrespective of the branch they choose. The curriculum is poorly structured and lacks flexibility. The placement scenario is deteriorating day by day. The exposure offered is null and thus BITS Pilani should be your last option when all doors are closed. You will end up wasting your time and money with no solid knowledge up your sleeve by the end of 4 years.
Ultimately, the decision of which program to choose depends on your personal preferences and career goals.
