Rather than choosing between institutes, choose the branch you are inclined towards. Determining your future prospects is an indispensable factor when choosing your college. You need to find out what you are willing to do after getting your degree; pursuing higher studies or getting employed.
Had I been in your place, I would have chosen NIT Surathkal because of the branch CSE you are getting. In this high-tech era, CSE is in full bloom and is one of the most coveted branches. Someone who is getting CSE at an NIT should never give that chance up for any other branch that too at a new IIT.
Here is why one should go for NIT Surathkal
The following points prove enough that NITK Surathkal CSE is better than IIT Dhanbad EE. In fact, I would have chosen IIT Dhanwad CSE over electrical or other core branches at old IITs. however, my answer is not directed towards someone who has a particular interest in Electrical, for them IIT EE is the best.
You will find that both NIT TRICHY and BITS Goa are excellent colleges for EEE, and they can be rated on par based on the following parameters:
If you have a financial constraint, you may find it beneficial to join NIT TRICHY since their fees are less than half of BITS.
Alternatively, if you value having a flexible timetable where you get to choose your own professors, or if you prefer the concept of zero attendance policy, BITS may be a better fit for you.
Keep in mind that BITS does not have a reservation policy for SC/ST/OBC.
NIT Sikkim is one of the 10 newly sanctioned NITs built by the Government of India. Here is what you need to know about the EEE branch at the institute.
Therefore, if you have an interest in the fields of electrical and electronics, you can surely opt for the institute.
I am a third year B.Tech ECE student at IIT Bhubaneswar. ECE is one of the newer branches at IIT Bhubaneswar. Its first batch graduated in 2020.
The number of software companies that come for recruitment of ECE students is comparatively more than core companies. Marwell Electronics and Qualcomm are the core companies that recruit ECE students from IIT Bhubaneswar. Amazon, Microsoft, HSBC, Mathworks, Oyo, and Razorpay offer software related jobs to ECE students.
Here are the 2023 placement figures for B.Tech ECE at IIT Bhubaneswar and B.Tech Chemical at IIT Madras:
Branch | IIT Bhubaneswar ECE | IIT Madras Chemical |
---|---|---|
Percentage Placed | 90.91% | - |
Highest CTC | INR 44.62 LPA | INR 66.00 LPA |
Lowest CTC | INR 9.65 LPA | INR 6.00 LPA |
Average CTC | INR 22.85 LPA | - |
Median CTC | INR 18 LPA | INR 17.00 LPA |
I would recommend B.Tech ECE at IIT Bhubaneswar over Chemical Engineering at IIT Madras because the former offers better placements in terms of median and lowest packages.
Yes, Kongu Engineering College is best for EEE, and faculties are well stuffed to mentor throughout Engineering.
Most probably on the core side, you will be getting an opportunity for some good companies like Robert Bosch, Vedanta resources, Soliton solutions, and some small scale companies.
On the other hand, you will get opportunities from IT firms like Accenture, Zoho, Wipro, Infosys, Harman, Cognizant, etc. But keep in mind that if you are dreaming of joining a core company then you have to be very much strong in your EEE subjects both theoretically and practically.
One of my friends is an alumnus of Kongu Engineering College. In my friend’s batch, only 5 students got placed in core companies out of 100+ eligible students. Others including him got placed in the IT sector.
If you are considering doing an EEE from anywhere in Bhopal, please reconsider. Be it LNCT or OIST or RGPV, none of them provide you with good opportunities that you may push your career forward.
The syllabus of EEE is very vast and hard to grasp. It is considered one of the toughest branches. One of my friends opted for it and she thinks that it was a big mistake.
Getting good grades with just an average amount of studies sounds like a dream because if you are not willing to work hard, this branch is not for you.
Most of the students like my friend accepted a career outside of their branch. Though it is somewhat disheartening for EEE students to get jobs in their core fields, even after investing 4 years in them. Most of them ended up in corporate houses or IT firms, doing technical jobs.
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.
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.
BITs is autonomus. It sets up their own program. You can download this curriculum from the Anna university portal if you have any doubts about the curriculum part. The autonomous university curriculum and university curriculum are both identical. But the college curriculum itself varies slightly from the university curriculum of Anna. (For example) You can only do one project at the end of the last year in the Anna university program. But you can do projects for each semester at BIT since it’s autonomous.
Below are some of the subjects with codes mentioned to help you out:
Each department will have common topics in the first year and your core topics begin from year 2.
Apart from these, there are going to be practicals which you will have to attend compulsorily as they contain marks as well.
Out of the two branches, Civil Engineering from CUSAT is the better choice. The following reasons will justify the choice.

EEE at CUSAT |

TCS, Infosys, Cerium, Vedanta, etc. |
The placements of both the branches are bad. Civil Engineering packages are not excellent across India, but CUSAT is a preferred choice.Civil Engineering is decent for the students if they want to work in core companies. However, if you are choosing EEE, then you can appear for civil services examinations and a job guarantee will be there.
EEE and ECE are both totally different branches and both of them have their respective job opportunities. After a lot of research, I got to know about NIT Meghalaya and Nagaland. Let me discuss them, which might give you a better idea.

The most important thing is to make a choice based on your preference of course rather than the institute name since both of them are on equal terms in all aspects.
