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

NIT Trichy is always considered superior to its counterparts and rightly so. The institute has a record of excellent placements, a competitive environment, and a highly learned faculty pool. NIT Calicut is well-known for its exceptionally good CSE department. 

So, I think the decision of choosing between  NIT Trichy ECE and NIT Calicut depends more on personal preferences than the institute. However you would like to consider the following points before making the final decision,

• ECE is a bit more challenging than CSE in terms of the curriculum and the opportunities offered. However, hard work and assistance from faculty can help you. CSE on the other hand is an evergreen branch that has a record of providing hefty packages and great opportunities in general.
• NIT Trichy has a difficult campus life owing to its extremely hot climate and remote location. NIT Silchar has a pleasant climate with a beautiful lush green campus. 

If you look at the overall picture, both colleges have excellent departments and offer similar opportunities, so the major determining criteria should be your branch preference. If you are interested in electronic systems and communication, go for NIT Trichy ECE but if you have an interest in programming NIT Calicut CSE is better for you.

One of my close friends is pursuing EXE from IIIT Hyderabad and was all praise for the institute. She had come with zero expectations and the institute as well as the branch impressed her. 

• ECE is a whole different story from CSE wherein you need fundamental knowledge about concepts and coding skills alone are not enough.
• The faculty pool comprises highly qualified professors who are very passionate about research and adopting modern pedagogy.
• IIIT Hyderabad has the best lab facilities and modern instruments. Although there is no mechanical department, IIIT is well known for its strong focus on Robotics.
• IIIT Hyderabad placements are excellent and this year, the highest salary increased by 32% and was recorded at INR 74 LPA. B.Tech CSE average salary stood at INR 32 LPA and major recruiters included Bloomberg, Code Nation, Deloitte, Facebook, Google, HSBC, Indeed, etc

NIT Trichy has an advantage of a bigger campus and more experienced faculty.  So, NIT Trichy is a good choice if you want a great campus life along with studies but if you want to focus on academics only then IIIT Hyderabad is the place for you.

Since you have decided on a branch beforehand, comparing two institutes becomes easier. That being said, BITS Goa is a clear winner and you can go for it without any hesitation. Consider the following parameters

Infrastructure: Being a private institute, BITS Goa has excellent infrastructure and facilities. The campus is fully wifi-enabled with air-conditioned classrooms, well-equipped labs, and a well-stocked e-library. There are several MOOC or reverse classroom courses too. 

Faculty: BITS Goa has a thorough recruiting process and only then best professors are selected thus maintaining the standards of teaching here.  The faculty members are expected to be highly experienced and have published at least 5 papers. There is also a faculty monitoring committee, to ensure quality teaching.

Course structure: BITS Goa has a well-structured curriculum and the pedagogy adopted is modern.  

Campus life: Being located in a tourist city, the campus life experience is full of fun.

Placements: BITS Goa placements statistics are excellent and this year the average package stood at INR 30.37 LPA.

Unless you have any financial constraints, choosing BITS Pilani over NIT Trichy will prove to be a more fruitful decision.
