NIET is better in terms of education standards and ranking. The job offers here are mainly offered in the Delhi NCR area. Both the colleges stand apart at different aspects and are good within their sphere but ultimately it is you who knows which option is better.

Government colleges in India are preferred by students because of their reputation and how easy it is on the pocket as compared to private colleges for engineering. The fee structure at GEC Manipuri for BTech programs rounds off to 1.05 lakh whereas the same course at NIET will cost somewhere between 1.85 to 3.5 lakhs.

Apart from that, NIET is known to offer funding and scholarships to students in order to help them with their tuition fees. It also facilitates summer internships for the top 3 students with an outstanding academic record. GEC Mainpuri on the other hand does not offer any grants or scholarships and students are required to pay their full tuition amount.

Let us have a look at the facilities provided by both the colleges:

• Infrastructure: Being a private institution with higher funding, NIET’s have better infrastructure and more updated campus facilities like smart classrooms, a well-structured library, Wi-Fi accessed campus, and hostels. GEC Mainpuri has a large campus but lack in technological facilities like providing well-equipped practical labs or library services to students.
• Placements: NIET observes a higher placement rate of 75% as compared to GEC Mainpuri. It also offers recruitments by top core companies like Microsoft, Amazon, Infosys, and IBM to students who are eligible for placements. GEC Mainpuri being a relatively smaller government college does not oversee placements from any core companies and mostly observes placements from IT and software development companies.
• Courses: NIET offers a wider range of popular engineering courses as compared to GEC Mainpuri. It offers a total of nearly 30 programs across graduate and undergraduate degrees whereas GEC offers a total of nearly 12 programs within the engineering stream.
• Location: NIET students are well connected to metropolitan life and are free to experience student life on and off-campus. The GEC Mainpuri campus is in a comparatively remote location which is not very well-connected to the city life.

Both the colleges offer a detailed and well-structured program in terms of the curriculum but differ in their teaching approach, campus facilities, placements, student demographics, and rankings. Keeping the above-given factors in mind, students can make their choice based on their requirements and preferences.

Course Fees and Structure:

• The total fees for the full-time four-year program are 4.65 lakh and students are also offered multiple scholarships in order to help with funding.
• The course is spread across 6 semesters with the first three semesters focusing on core foundation subjects like Fluid Mechanics and Bioprocess Engineering. The last two semesters offer industrial training through internships, an open elective specialization, and a compulsory live project based on which students are scored in their final results.
• The University also organizes multiple seminars, conferences, and workshops in order to help enhance student’s soft skills by conducting personality development and interview technique related informative sessions with leading personalities from the industry.

Faculty:The faculty employed for the biotechnology program is all academic experts in the field and have years of experience within the field of research and biotechnology. They are mostly IIT or NIT graduates.

Placements:

• It observes a placement rate of 75% while offering an average salary package of 5 to 6 LPA.
• Some of the top recruiting companies are Capgemini, HCL, Cognizant, IBM, Nestle, and TCS.
• Since biotechnology has been newly introduced as a specialization, NIET sees only a handful of core companies as part of their placement drive. Therefore, it is highly unlikely to receive a job offer through placement within a core biotech company.
• The Biotechnology department organizes multiple industrial visits throughout the year to companies like Mother Dairy, Yakult, and IIRT Ghaziabad in order to help students understand core concepts and make them industry-ready.

The points given above will help students to make a well-informed decision in terms of their choice of college.
