Which is worth taking, BITS Hyderabad ECE or NIT Surathkal ECE?

JS
Juby Sam Posted On : November 5th, 2022
B.E (Hons.) from BITS Pilani, Hyderabad Campus.

To be honest, it depends on who you are and what you are looking for.

BITS Hyderabad is completely lenient. You will learn if you want to, otherwise, things could go horribly wrong. But one thing is certain: no matter which branch you choose, BITS Hyderabad will assist you in discovering your true passion.

NIT Surathkal, on the other hand, is one of the top NITs where a certain percentage of attendees is required. That's beside the point. If you truly feel and believe that your true interest lies in ECE, it is safer to enroll at NIT Suratkal. However, no other college or university can offer you the freedom that BITS can.

 It is always recommended to choose what you feel is good for you and work accordingly.

What are the marks required for the JEE Mains to get into NIT Surathkal for mechanical engineering?

RM
Rachita Mitra Posted On : July 8th, 2021
B.Tech Computer Science Engineering, National Institute of Technology Karnataka, Surathkal (2020)

The degree of difficulty of JEE MAIN varies every year. A great score one year may not be necessarily a great score next year. Some years paper is very easy and everyone gets high scores so the cutoff required also becomes high. The opposite is also true.


So what you can do is keep your focus on All India Ranks of JEE Mains and go through to the cutoffs as admission is based on that.

Here are the cutoff trends for Mechanical Engineering at NIT Surathkal in recent years.

Is an ENI in BITS Goa good, and is it better than NIT Surathkal's EEE?

KA
Kriti Anand Posted On : August 20th, 2021
B.E. EEE from BITS Pilani, K. K. Birla Goa Campus (2019)

ENI stands for Electronics & Instrumentation Engineering while EEE is Electrical & Electronics Engineering. Having known some people studying at both these institutions, I can say that BITS Goa is better than NIT Surathkal.

  • In terms of infrastructure, BITS Goa is obviously better than NIT Surathkal. 
  • Better companies visit BITS Goa campus than NIT Surathkal. 
  • The course curriculum and the quality of academic projects are also better at BITS Goa. 
  • The faculty at BITS Goa is also top-notch.
  • In between the two branches, both are almost the same barring a few subjects (3 subjects to be precise). 
  • The course load, placements, and projects all are similar between the two. 
  • As these are core branches, getting placed in the core companies is going to be difficult at either of the institutes. 
Categories ENI at BITS Goa EEE at NIT Surathkal
Course Fee 19.19 lakh 5.40 lakh
Highest CTC 25 LPA 30 LPA
Average CTC 12-13 LPA 15 LPA
Recruiting Companies Arcesium, Goldman Sachs, nVidia, Texas Instruments, etc. Qualcomm, L&T, Microsoft, Samsung, etc.

Finally, I would say that ENI at BITS Goa is very good and actually might be a little better than EEE at NIT Surathkal.

What is better to choose between NIT Surathkal IT and BITS Goa ECE?

SS
Shreeyash Sethiya Posted On : August 24th, 2021
Studies CSE at NIT Warangal, 2022

If you are efficient and hard-working, then NIT Surathkal can be the best choice for you. If not, then you can go for BITS Goa. 

Depending upon various factors, the IT department of NIT Surathkal is slightly better. It is so because it is one of the most reputed NITs in the country, and IT is several steps ahead of ECE.

If BITS Pilan would have been your other option, the thoughts would have turned around. But since it is BITS Goa, then your choice must remain NIT Surathkal.

Which college should I choose among NIT Nagpur and NIT Surathkal?

NS
Neetu Shastri Posted On : June 22nd, 2021
M.A. from Jadavpur University (2018)

One of my friends is an alumnus of NIT Surathkal and was in awe of it since the beginning of his academic program.

  • That institute is better than most in terms of campus life, placement, rank, and other essential parameters.
  • It has a 90% placement rate in 2020 and ranks #13 on the NIRF ranking portal.
  • Despite its excellence, my friend used to say that if you have a choice available, don’t go for NIT.
  • Over the years it will come to your notice that the whole system is a scam, and although it has excellent facilities and good basics it's really overhyped.
  • You'll find that any other good engineering college will have equal or better opportunities for you.
  • If you can, try taking admission to a university that supports your dreams, which is the right fit for you - do not opt by just checking the placement rates. As it is untrue.

Another friend of mine was in the third year of chemical engineering in NIT Nagpur and felt as if he did not gain any technical knowledge after studying for three years. This is something overlooked by most 'excellent' universities across India and they do not allow students to question it. Therefore, if you have a better option available- go for that, not any NIT.
