Which is the better branch between mechanical engineering and chemical engineering in MNNIT Allahabad?
I am a student of B.Tech Chemical at MNNIT Allahabad. Here is some information to help you arrive at a conclusion-
- Placements- Chemical has better placements. Its batch strength is almost one third that of Mechanical. Moreover, a good number of companies visit the Chemical department with job offers. The average package for Chemical and Mechanical is 10 LPA and 7 LPA respectively. In recent years, the Chemical department has attained 100% placements, while Mechanical receives around 80% placements.
- ESE- For Engineering Services (IES), you’ll have to choose Mechanical Engineering as Chemical students can not give ESE.
- GATE- Both Chemical and Mechanical are equally good for public sector jobs/ M.Tech/ Phd. The competition is much higher in Mechanical, but the number of vacancies in PSUs through GATE is also higher for it.
The GATE syllabus for Chemical is comparatively smaller.
- ISRO/ BARC/ DRDO- Both the branches carry equal opportunities in these areas.
- PSU through campus- Branch toppers are selected by PSUs for placements. The selections are made on resume based shortlisting, GD and interview. Companies like BPCL, GAIL and IOCL visit the campus for recruitments. Sometimes GAIL does not allow Mechanical students to sit for placements. Thus, Chemical students have better chances of placement in PSUs. The smaller batch strength of Chemical is a big aid in placements.
Both the branches are good in their own way. You should select the one that suits your goals and future plans.
Should I choose NIT Jamshedpur for a CS/ECE or NIT Allahabad in chemical? Can I go for a branch change next year?
NIT Allahabad is a better choice than NIT Jamshedpur, especially for CSE. If you are not getting CSE, try going for IT because the branches are somewhat similar. Moreover, NIT Allahabad has options for internal sliding too so you can try your luck there. Chances of sliding to CSE are rare so you can try going for IT instead.
Also, If you are considering joining a core branch, except CSE, IT, and ECE, remember that you will have to appear for GATE in the last year to get a job in PSUs.

Which one should I choose for M.Tech: NIT, Trichy, NIT, Warangal, NIT, Suratkal, NIT, Allahabad or Delhi College of Engineering in thermal/design?
All NITs are well-reputed institutes that ensure quality education in India. Let us look into the features of NITs in detail.
Daily Life – All the NITs follow the same system, and there is no significant difference between them. The classes begin at 9 a.m. and end at 5 p.m., with a one-hour break in the afternoon.

Which is better: IT at NIT Surathkal or CSE at MNNIT Allahabad in terms of placement and environment?
Two of my close friends are studying at NIT Surathkal and MNNIT Allahabad respectively and often I hear them comparing their colleges based on some aspects.
- Environment: Both NITs have a well-maintained and lush green campus. NIT Surathkal has a slight advantage because of its private beach. So, if you love beaches and swimming NIT Surathkal is for you. NIT Allahabad offers scenic views at Sangam and students enjoy taking holy baths and spending evenings there.
- Faculty: MNNIT Allahabad are very friendly and often use their native language during lectures while NIT Surathkla professors are a nit professional and never use their native language in the classroom.
- Placements : The average package of IT at NIT Suratkal is INR 23.03 LPA while that of CSE at MNNIT is INR 27.07 LPA. MNNIT Allahabad has slightly better placements although NIT Surathkal has a better location.
- Food: It may be difficult to get non-veg food in Allahabad within the hostel premises. In NIT-S, there is no such restriction and a variety of non-veg food is offered.
Ultimately, the choice is yours!
MNNIT is much more famous than IIIT Allahabad. None of my relatives have heard of IIIT Allahabad. Should I join MNNIT IT instead of IT at IIIT A just because it's not so famous and less enjoyable?
An institute should not be judged according to its popularity. Among the above two options, IT in IIIT Allahabad is a much better choice, considering the infrastructure, faculty, and overall environment in IIIT Allahabad. The table below gives a brief level of comparison among the two institutes.

What are the things a fresher should carry to MNNIT Allahabad?
There are some important things one must carry as a fresher to the hostel of MNNIT Allahabad, or for that matter, to any other technical Institute as well.
Some of them are-
- Some 12th standard books to brush up basic concepts, they are of use during the first year.
- A laptop. ‘Avishkar’- the college tech fest is held even before the first vacation, and a laptop is very useful for participating in it. Besides that, the internet connectivity is good on campus, and one should make proper use of this facility.
- A pair of formals for the ‘Avishkar’ interviews.
- A party-wear for ‘Swagat’.
- Some good novels for leisure reading.
- Some rough notebooks, and if possible, first year books. Upon stepping into the hostel, one can not move around for the first month. So having the books all this while helps in maintaining a proper study routine from the very start.
The first year hostels have a general purpose shop. It has all the basic necessities like drafter, copies, flip-flops, buckets, soap, shampoo, chips, pens, etc. But they have a limited variety of everything.
Bonding with seniors and one’s batchmates is the best way to ensure a smooth stay at MNNIT Allahabad.

Who is the best professor in CSE department, MNNIT Allahabad and why?
MNIT has had quite a few good teachers over the years but some of them have really resonated with the students to leave an everlasting impact on our minds. Some of the most reputed teachers of the institute according to student reviews are as follows.
- Ranvijay Singh: Professor Singh has a really thorough knowledge of his subjects and one of the few teachers who deeply care for their students. You can also approach him for extra classes in case of any difficulties even if it is not his subject. He is also great at career advice and a teacher who just wants to genuinely help and is truly one of the best teachers of CSED.
- Neeraj Tyagi: Professor Tyagi was quite instrumental in developing my friend’s interest in networking. In my friend’s batch, he did not teach this subject but did so for IT. He was also fortunate enough to get to work with Tyagi sir and completed quite a few projects under his guidance. One of these included FTP quota on server accounts. He is open to learning new ideas and keeping himself updated, discussing things, quite accessible, and a humble teacher.
- BD Chaudhary: It is quite possible that professor Chaudhary has retired now but he used to teach databases. His classes were miles apart from other teachers. He was a professional at teaching, much like an IIT professor, and would make you understand even the minute details of the subject. You would never feel like missing his lecture. His test papers were also quite different where he set a single 100 mark question for the half-yearly exam. He would instill the hunger for learning in students.
These were some of the teachers that made college memorable for a few of my friends. You can hope to see a few of them taking your classes too.
What department in MNNIT Allahabad has the best faculty?
Mechanical Engineering Department in MNNIT has the best faculties. However, the following are the reasons for this consideration.
- Professors of this department are mostly highly qualified. However, a majority of them have done Ph.D., on the contrary of CSED.
- Besides, the professors from the Mechanical Department of MNNIT are also well-experienced.
- Most of them have a research profile, which influences the student’s mind towards the research-based work and study. They are also very helpful; if you want to pursue a research-oriented study, they welcome it from the heart.
Moreover, the most dissatisfactory thing about this department is the lack of cheering the students. My friend told me that he never saw anyone from his batch work on a research-based project or doing any further research-related studies.
