NIT Patna: 2 Answered Questions

Which is better, NIT Patna in ECE or PEC Chandigarh in mechanical?

Madhav AnejaLived in Chandigarh, India

Choosing between NIT Patna in ECE and PEC Chandigarh in Mechanical Engineering can be a difficult decision. It depends on your interests, career goals, and personal preferences. Here are some factors to consider that can help you make an informed decision:

NIT Patna in ECE:

ECE is a rapidly growing field with plenty of job opportunities.
NIT Patna is an esteemed institute, known for its excellent faculty and research facilities.
ECE offers a wide range of specializations, such as communication, signal processing, VLSI, and embedded systems.
The course curriculum is rigorous and includes both theoretical and practical aspects of electronics and communication engineering.

PEC Chandigarh in Mechanical Engineering:

Mechanical Engineering is a traditional field that offers various job opportunities in diverse industries, such as manufacturing, automobile, aerospace, and energy.
PEC Chandigarh is a reputed institute, known for its strong industry collaborations and research facilities.
Mechanical Engineering offers various specializations, such as design, manufacturing, materials science, and robotics.
The course curriculum is comprehensive and includes theoretical and practical aspects of mechanical engineering.

Therefore, to choose between the two, you need to consider your interests, career goals, and your preferences. If you are interested in electronics, communication, and signal processing, and want to pursue a career in this field, NIT Patna in ECE may be the best choice for you. However, if you are interested in mechanical engineering, design, manufacturing, and robotics, and want to work in industries such as manufacturing, aerospace, or energy, PEC Chandigarh in Mechanical Engineering may be a better option for you.

Which is better, IIIT Lucknow for CSE or NIT Patna for ECE?

Anuj SinghB.Tech Computer Science, National Institutes of Technology (2020)

I have friends studying at both IIIT Lucknow and NIT Patna, and according to their first-hand experience, IIIT Lucknow is the better choice here. Here’s what you need to know.

Curriculum: IIIT Lucknow has a great curriculumin terms of syllabus, classes, and coding culture. The competitive environment drives you to excel in every field.
Facilities: You will get high-tech facilities in IIIT Lucknow designed for engineering and coding. Events like Hackathons and other tech fests are equivalent to IIIT Allahabad.
Placements: My friend who completed his B.Tech from IIIT Lucknow experienced that your placement highly depends on how much you use online videos, courses to excel in your respective branch. Overall you need to be active and focus on improving your skills which might help you grab decent job packages. Moreover, the highest CTC recorded to 43 LPA while the average CTC is 18.4 LPA.

Check out some of the reasons why you shouldn’t choose NIT Patna.

Poor infrastructure: Unfortunately, the institute is not making much effort to improve facilities, organizing tech events. This is because they are currently focusing on the construction of the new campus of NIT Patna at Bihta near IIT Patna which is bound to be completed by 2024.

Poor accommodation: You will have to adjust to double or triple seater rooms because you won’t get a single-seater room in all of your 4 years. Also, the PG options are not good in the surrounding area.

Poor mess food: Just like the infrastructure, the Hostel Mess Committee is too reluctant to improve food quality in spite of knowing everything. Also, you won’t get any good quality restaurants nearby or any online food ordered after 10 pm.

Outdated curriculum: Institute is still following the old curriculum and has outdated labs. Even the Classrooms are too outdated with broken benches and no Projectors are used to teach.

Lack of extracurricular: There is a lack of proper clubs, sports facilities, tech-fests, and coding culture.

Overall, ECE at NIT Patna is not a good option. Go for CSE IIIT Lucknow any day for a great curriculum, great facilities, great location, and great placements. Also, the CSE branch gets you more chances of better placements in most colleges in India.
