Should I join IIIT Guwahati for ECE, or should I join NIT Silchar's EEE?

Having a few friends studying in both of these institutes, I can provide you with some details based on my interaction with them. IIIT Guwahati and NIT Silchar are both institutes of national importance. The NIRF Ranking for Engineering 2020 is 66 and 46 respectively.

• If you want to join the Electrical and Electronics Engineering (EEE) branch, IIIT Guwahati is the only choice because NIT Silchar does not offer this branch.
• But for others, like Electronics and Communications Engineering (ECE), NITS will be the best selection.
• Even the alumni of NITS are biased towards their institute.
• The campus of IIIT Guwahati is new. The institute is well-equipped but yet far behind NITS.
• IIT Guwahati has a weaker base of alumni. The reason is that it came into existence after NITS.

The faculty of NITS has a rich experience. Out of 209 faculty members, 195 are Ph.D. holders. Overall, NITS is a better choice for ECE.
