Bachelor of Technology [B.Tech] (Electronics & Communication Engineering) From NIT Trichy, Tiruchirappalli

NIT Trichy is better than NIT Calicut. But the CSE department of NIT Calicut is better than all NITs. The placement of CSE is better. You can choose any course according to your interest. 

The following table will give you the basic information of NIT Trichy ECE or NIT Calicut CSE. 

If you are a person who can spend hours before the computer and likes the challenging corporate life then CSE will be a better option for you after the 12th. If you are interested in studying various subjects and then choosing your specialisation, you work hard and are disciplined, then you choose ECE. You can also work on research in DRDO or ISRO. 

One of my friends studies in the NIT Calicut CSE department, and students get a decent placement there. The highest package offered to students at NIT Calicut is INR 49.75 LPA while the average package is INR 11.58 LPA. CSE students easily get internship opportunities in good companies which gives them pre-placement offers. 

If you are curious about the hostel life of a girl’s NIT Calicut then here are few details. 

1. NIT Calicut hostel rules are strict specifications for first year students.
2. In the first year, 4-5 students will live in one room, second and third-year students get two roommates and final year students get single occupancy. 
3. There are four messes in NIT Calicut, and one of them is pure-veg. Its mess food is better than other institutes such as IITs and NITs. It also has a night mess opened from 9 to 12.

Therefore, the NIT Calicut CSE department is good. After you get promoted in the second year, you will start enjoying your campus stay. The campus is also beautiful. The Calicut climate is also good, most of the month it is hot and rains in one semester. So, you can choose CSE if you're passionate about it.

I have a few friends from both NIT Trichy and CEG and here is what I gathered from my conversations with them. 

• In terms of ranking, NIT Trichy is placed higher than CEG. This is because NIT admits students based on JEE Mains ranking and CEG admits students based on board marks.
• In terms of placements, NIT Trichy would be way ahead of CEG. The college enjoys a better reputation and big firms come for placements.
• For ECE, then recruiting companies visiting the on-campus placements at NIT Trichy are Qualcomm, Texas Instruments, SanDisk, Nvidia, etc. The average CTC offered is 6 LPA. 
• You can also go for higher education if you have a good GPA and great projects.
• The faculty team is overall good. A few of them are extremely knowledgeable and conduct high-quality research. In terms of facilities, NIT Trichy has an edge over CEG. 
• Since CEG is in Chennai, there are other sources of enjoyment but NIT Trichy is 20 km away from Trichy.

Overall, NIT Trichy will be a better choice than CEG.

Both branchers are slightly different except for a few topics that overlap in the curriculum. Comparing it with one another is not worth it as both have their own differences.

Let’s take a quick comparison for clearing one’s view:

• Efforts: CSE is much more on the lighter side than ECE.
• Professors: Neither of the branches has good faculty members but ECE is probably better.
• Students: CSE will have a lot of North Indians if you want to look it that way.
• Placements: CSE has no comparison to other branches in terms of opportunities not only in jobs but even in internships. 70% batch gets internships after 3rd year in very good companies. 
• NIT-T Fest: This is one of the things which excites every student after placement statistics. It’s amazing out there.

It is suggested to select the field based on interest. Go for CSE only if you are inclined towards the field otherwise, both branches can give you ample opportunities to learn and grow.

ECE is in any way superior to Civil Engineering. NIT Trichy is also a really good institute, so don't just go for the IIT tag. Taking Civil in a new IIT (or even in an older IIT) will limit your options, in terms of location or something else. 

You might not get as many opportunities as you might get for ECE, given that the packages offered for ECE branches are comparatively always better. 

If you had the option of choosing a circuital branch in IIT BBS, then it would be highly recommended to you, but since you are considering Civil, it is a better choice.

NIT Trichy would be a better choice than IIT Bhubaneswar for Metallurgy because of the following reasons.

• The placements are better for in ECE than in Metallurgy.
• If students fail to get core placement in NIT Trichy, they can still try for top-notch coding and management companies recruiting from the ECE department.
• There are numerous Technical clubs for first years students who are passionate about Electronics.
• NIT Trichy has lower academic fees than IIT Bhubaneswar. But it may vary for different courses. The course fee of B.Tech in NIT is 72,100 whereas in IIT Bhubaneswar it is 1.4 lakh.
• In terms of quality of infrastructure and social life, NIT Trichy is better than IIT Bhubaneswar as it is much older.
• NIT Trichy ECE in 2019 has undergraduate placement of 95% and IIT Bhubaneswar Metallurgy has 90% placement in 2019.
