How is ECE in IIIT Allahabad? Is it better than NIT Durgapur?

AB

B.Tech. Metallurgical Engineering, NIT Raipur (2018)

IIIT Allahabad is unquestionably superior to NIT Durgapur. But this isn't to say that NIT Durgapur isn't good. 

  • If you want a career in ECE, don’t go for NIT Durgapur. ECE branch at NIT Durgapur does not have good reviews. 
  • However, if you want to go for an MBA after your BTech, then NIT Durgapur can be a good option. 
  • In the ICT sector, IIIT Allahabad holds a special position for ECE and this institute specializes in the IT sector. I have a few friends at the institute who vouches for the course. 

Here’s a brief comparison of the ECE branch at these two institutes.

Parameters 

IIIT Allahabad

NIT Durgapur

Average CTC

43 LPA

32.54 LPA

Highest CTC

20.83 LPA

9.09 LPA

Fees

5.85 lakhs

5.56 lakhs

Apart from that, just like NITD, IIIT Allahabad is an institute of national importance that is entirely funded by the Ministry of Human Resources Development. 

So, for ECE, IIIT Allahabad is definitely the better option.

What are the drawbacks of NIT Durgapur?

SD
Shivani Das Posted On : September 8th, 2023
B.Tech from National Institute of Technology Durgapur (2019)

Though I love my college, here are some areas that need to work on with sincerity-

  • Learning Method- Students are expected to follow an orthodox learning style. To become a 9-pointer, you’ll have to memorize class notes. Students mug up answers and write them in their answer sheets. All this requires simply a week-long preparation before the respective exam. Professors don’t encourage creativity on answer sheets, they want an exact reflection of their notes.
  • Administration- The administration isn’t supportive at all. There is a fine/ charge for everything. You are expected to pay money for college ID, low attendance,  college bonafide, and practically every other thing.
  • Training and Placement Cell- They organize no training programs to prepare students for job interviews. Even if you find a training program that needs college approval, you’ll face many obstacles in acquiring their permission. Placements are good, but you’ll have to prepare on your own.
  • Hostel Infrastructure- The majority of hostels were built in the 1960s, and have never been renovated since. The rooms are in poor condition and the occasional paint job does minimum to hide the damages. 

NIT Durgapur has given me lovely seniors and amazing friends. I will always cherish these memories. But these (and some more) areas need serious attention from the college authorities.

Which is better if one is planning to apply for an MBA/PGDM from IIMs after graduation: ECE and/or CSE at NIT Durgapur, or IT at Jadavpur University? Why?

TA
Tithi Aggrawal Posted On : September 8th, 2023
Lives in New Delhi

Let me share with you some important details about these courses/institutes-

  1. NIT Durgapur is a residential campus so you’ll get ample exposure during your undergraduate studies. On the other hand, JU doesn’t even offer IT on its main campus.
  2. NIT DGP is an Institute of National Importance. This makes it more significant on a national level.
  3. NIT Durgapur is seeing a growing number of recruitments in its CSE branch. Startups visit the campus with interesting offers for CSE students.
  4. The student community of NIT Durgapur is more diverse.
  5. NIT DGP has no political interference. JU, on the other hand, is heavily influenced by state politics.
  6. In terms of extracurricular activities, JU is a better choice.
  7. The CSE/ECE departments of NIT DGP lack good infrastructure, have inconsistent course structure and content, and have a low teacher-student ratio. These departments lack quality research work.
  8. Phd.s in the CSE department of NIT Dgp are low in number.
  9. But NIT DGP carries the much-valued ‘NIT’ tag.

That being said, I feel you are at a very early stage of narrowing down your goals and aspirations to this extent. Enter your UG with an open mind, and an aim for self-discovery. Right now, you have a picture in mind of doing an MBA. But I don’t think you have a proper idea of the different specializations in this degree. 

You should have made a clear decision by the end of your 3rd year. Before that, pursue internships and discover your field of interest. Right now, look for the institute that will offer you the best technical education and the best future prospects.

Let us go with a side by side comparison of both the colleges on the basis of the following factors: NIRF Ranking, Faculty and Placements.

NIRF Ranking: As per NIRF 2020, NIT Durgapur has been ranked 47th whereas IIITM Gwalior has been given a rank above 100.

Faculty:Having friends in both of the colleges I can share their views, and according to their personal experience the faculty at IIITM Gwalior is one of the best faculties out there in India. Also, you will get good research facilities in IIITM Gwalior.

Placements: As many of you might find this a major point while choosing colleges, you should know that NIT Durgapur offers placements for CSE branch with an average package of 6.5 lac pa and 29 lac pa being the highest package. On the other hand, there is not much data available on placements at IIITM Gwalior as CSE is a newly introduced branch.

Which is better - NIT Durgapur Metallurgy or VIT Vellore CSE?

Sabeer Chalana Posted On : September 8th, 2023

As a CSE student at VIT Vellore, I was also faced with the same dilemma.

First of all, there is a ragging culture at NIT Durgapur. It does carry the NIT, but it lags behind the top NITs. Apart from that, Metallurgy does not offer much scope in India. 

The placement figures mentioned on their website, however, are quite promising. 

During the 2023 placement season, MME recorded 90.32% placements with an average package of 8.79 LPA.

Now coming to VIT Vellore, there is no ragging on campus. It offers all the top-class facilities, great environment and friendly crowd. CSE is the best branch of VIT Vellore. The college offers good placements and infrastructure.

According to me, choosing CSE at VIT Vellore is a better option.

What would be better option for me: ECE at NIT Durgapur or a Bachelor's of Technology/Master's of Technology dual degree at IIEST, Shibpur?

AR
Arnav Roy Posted On : September 8th, 2023
Lives in Kolkata, West Bengal, India

I did my dual degree in Aerospace Engineering from IIEST. I will list down the comparison points between an ECE from NIT Dgp and a DD (Aerospace Engineering) from IIEST-

  1. Placement opportunities are much brighter for ECE in India. This is because there are very few core companies for Aerospace Engineers over here. 
  2. IT companies prefer ECE students over Aerospace students. Also, R&D jobs are difficult to grab for B.Tech/DD students.
  3. Both are Tier 2 colleges and offer almost the same facilities. JU has better facilities than both of them.
  4. A dual degree from IIEST isn’t a great option. Rather, try to pursue your PG from a TIER-1 college.
  5. If you do good research work in your B.Tech, you’ll have better chances of pursuing your Masters from a Tier-1 college/ foreign university.

Try to figure out what interests you more. My personal recommendation is that you pursue B.Tech ECE from NIT Durgapur.

Why is biotechnology considered the worst branch in NIT Durgapur?

TD
Tezal Dahiya Posted On : September 8th, 2023

Here are some reasons why Biotechnology from NIT Durgapur isn’t a good choice-

  1. Like most Indian colleges, Biotechnology doesn’t receive ample attention from NIT Dgp administration. The department is underfunded, and understaffed, there isn’t proper space and the atmosphere is not ambient.
  2. The majority of Biotech teachers at NIT DGP aren’t good. They expect you to know and remember everything. Students with good pointers are treated fairly, while others become bad students without committing any mistakes.
  3. The academic section and placement cell have no proper communication in-between them. Students from Biotech don’t have proper interaction with other departments. No one wishes to bridge these gaps.
  4. When applying for foreign universities, you will be brainwashed on how you should intern at an Indian college.
  5. No core company visits the campus during the placement season. The only option left is mass recruiters. Many companies restrict only Biotech students from applying for a placement. Placement season is quite frustrating for Biotech students of NIT Durgapur.

Due to these reasons, pursuing a Biotech from NIT Durgapur might not be the right choice.

Is NIT Durgapur for electrical engineering a good idea?

Namrata Das Posted On : September 8th, 2023

The answer to this question depends on your future goals. Here are a few highlights of electrical engineering at NIT Durgapur-

  1. NIT Dgp offers good opportunities for higher studies from a foreign university. This is possible if you maintain a 9 CGPA or above in each semester. The electrical department has professors whose recommendations can get you into pretty good universities abroad for your MS or any other degree.
  2. Electrical has decent placements, with 89.66% of students getting placed in 2023. Core companies like Tata Power, Schneider Electric, Vedanta, JSL, Tata Motors, LnT, etc. visit the campus regularly for recruitment. With basic technical knowledge and good communication skills, you can easily grab a core job.
  3. The faculty of electrical is highly qualified, but few have good teaching skills. The professors are strict, they aren’t student-friendly.
  4. The infrastructure of EE labs is quite poor. The labs contain old and ill-maintained equipment.

The department has a fair share of weaknesses. Despite this, it is one of the oldest departments of NIT Durgapur. After CSE, ECE and ME, EE is the best branch at NIT Dgp. 

Thus, you should definitely consider Electrical at NIT Durgapur.
