If you're interested in coding and considering a career in electronics, ECE at IIIT Allahabad is definitely worth considering and a better option than Civil at IIT Guwahati. With an impressive track record of placements, the ECE branch at IIITA has over 95% of its students placed each year, and more than 200 companies visited for the placement session from 2021-2022. This includes top MNCs like Google, Microsoft, Facebook, Amazon, and even Apple. 

The average package offered was 30.68 LPA, with the highest package reaching 1.21 CPA domestically and 1.25 CPA internationally. Additionally, around 100 students received internships with an average stipend of Rs.60000 per month. With roles like SDE on offer, IIIT Allahabad is a great choice for those looking to kickstart their careers in electronics.

It’s difficult to compare IIT Roorkee and IIT Guwahati as both are institutes with excellent infrastructure and educational opportunities. As far as VLSI placements are concerned, both have almost the same companies visiting for placements with similar packages. The only advantage Guwahati has over Roorkee is airport connectivity. However, Roorkee too has a winning element which is its larger alumni base in comparison to Guwahati.

Most semiconductor companies like Qualcomm, INTEL, Samsung, TI, NVDIA, NXP, and ON Semiconductor visit both institutes with similar job profiles. However, Micron Semiconductor visits only IIT Madras, IISc, and IIT Bombay.

Some more top companies that visit IIT Roorkee and IIT Guwahati for VLSI placements are

• Cisco systems
• AMD
• Cypress
• Redpine Signal
• Microchip technology
• Broadcom 

So we can say that the VLSI placement scenario at both institutes is equally good.

The choice of college and branch totally depends on your inclination and career prospects. Yet, a few pointers you might consider 

For MBA/ non-core jobs/Startups: IIT Delhi Textile is the best choice if you are looking for any 3 of these options. Its excellent location provides enough exposure to give you access to unimaginable opportunities. Many events hosted by industry experts, CEOs of big companies, and successful entrepreneurs will give a better insight into the startup culture. Moreover, students preparing for competing exams can easily access coaching centers nearby.

Research in Biotechnology: If you are interested in research in general or Biotechnology specifically, then the Biotechnology at KGP is an excellent choice. It is one of the most demanding fields in terms of research and general growth. With a good CGPA, you can find a research internship or you can apply for MS or Ph.D. Even job opportunities are plentiful. 

Campus: IIT Delhi is better because of its small size and location

Lastly, Engineering Physics from IIT Guwahati should be considered only if you are genuinely passionate about Physics and want to pursue a research career in the same. The curriculum comprises high-tech mathematical concepts and is a good option to pursue a career in economics and computer science.

It is difficult to say which program is better as it is more of a matter of personal interest than program worth. However, it is a well-established fact that IITs are highly respected and provide an excellent education in the field of computer science and engineering (CSE). Both the CSE programs; the 5-year program at IIT Kharagpur and the 4-year program at IIT Guwahati, IIT Roorkee, and IIT BHU are equally good academically.

If it’s placements you are concerned about, IIT BHU will satisfy all your expectations as it has the best companies, amazing coding culture, and an elaborate alumni network. The highest package for 2022-2023 placements was reported to be INR 1.2 CPA with top companies like Microsoft Google, and Facebook visiting the campus to hire for their Seattle/California office. Most reputed companies in India pay a visit to IIT BHU and sometimes offer more than one offer to each student. Some students even have PPOs way before the placement season begins. If placements are your concern you can rest assured as the CSE branch at IIT BHU offers the best packages in top companies. Some top recruiters include

• Rakuten
• Uber
• Zeta
• Microsoft SWE
• Oracle

Additionally, it would be important to consider your personal interests, career goals, and other factors when making this decision.

I assume that you haven’t decided on a specific branch and hence you have multiple options open from different institutes and branches. Before I give you my suggestion it’s important to know that most non-CS students at IIT Bombay and IIT Kharagpur try to get a job in CS only. For this, they learn programming and sit for non-core placements. 

For the same reason, I am recommending you join either BHU or Guwahati (CSE).

• BHU is known for its elaborate and old alumni base leading to better placements whereas Guwahati speaks highly of its infrastructure.
• BHU has much better connectivity owing to its city locations whereas Guwahati is situated outside the city.
• Guwahati has a larger faculty pool than BHU

In the end unless you are a North-Eastern, BHU is the best option for you. Either way you are good to go and thus can make a decision that suits your location.
