NIT Patna: 2 Answered Questions

Which is better: Civil NIT Trichy or CSE NIT Patna?

Raktim Tarafdar

NIT Trichy is one of the top 10 institutions in India for Engineering, NIT Patna makes it to the 56th position in the NIRF Rankings 2023 for Engineering.

Despite this, I would suggest you go for CSE from NIT Patna. Out of my experience of meeting different people, I would suggest you choose a better course over a better institution. CSE is in demand these days, while Civil might not be a good choice placement-wise.

A friend of mine pursued his B.Tech in Civil Engineering from a top NIT. He did not land a decent job. After that, he cracked GATE and went for his M.Tech in Civil Engineering from DTU. Even after his M.Tech, he landed a package of INR 5.5 LPA.

Civil Engineers from IIT Guwahati in my friend circle started preparing for UPSC because of not getting a job.

I believe that a course tag is permanent unless you switch your stream during your Masters. Therefore, I would suggest you take CSE from NIT Patna instead of Civil from NIT Trichy.

Which is better for civil engineering, IIEST Shibpur or NIT Patna?

Debarati NagMBA from Indian Institute of Engineering Science and Technology, Shibpur (2020)

Without a doubt, IIEST Shibpur is the definite better choice among the two institutes for Civil Engineering and is indeed one of the best Civil Engineering departments in the country. My friends who study at IIEST Shibpur boast about their college, that it is great in so many ways.

The points below state some reasons as to why -

The Civil Engineering department of IIEST Shibpur is the best department among all engineering institutes in India.
IIEST is a national government-controlled institute, and its curriculum and structure are mostly managed by the central board.
In IIEST, candidates can switch departments at the end of the first year through the stream change process. For this shift, they need a good GPA score in exams.
Civil Engineers of IIEST Shibpur have excelled in their field everywhere, and have excellent worldwide recognition.
Some of the alumni are among the world leaders of engineering. Ex- Dr. Fazlur Rahman Khan, who was the designer of the Willis Tower in the USA, Dr. Kajal Gupta, Chief Scientist and Technologist of NASA, USA.

Categories	Civil Engineering at IIEST Shibpur
Course Fee	1.55 lakh
Highest CTC	20 LPA
Average CTC	8-12 LPA
Recruiting Companies	Tata Steel, Coal India, Shapoorji Pallonji, L&T, etc.

Therefore, Civil Engineering in IIEST Shibpur is at its best among almost all the Civil Engineering departments in India and so is definitely a great choice.
