Have I done a mistake choosing MNNIT Allahabad CSE instead of IIT BHU Electrical Engineering? I am feeling very guilty. Isn’t there any way I could reverse this?
I don’t consider it wise to have left such a great opportunity to study at an IIT and choose MNIT Allahabad instead. Things would have been better if you had gone for a better NIT.
However, there is no use in whining now and you need to take things into your hands rather than giving up. While the choice of an institute is certainly important, it’s the students' capabilities that surpass all possibilities. I have seen great institutes produce average students and average institutes produce great students. You can be a part of that category. Moreover, CSE is always a better option than EE. You can still give your best and score better than your IIT counterparts. Even if you had taken Electrical, you would have had to study coding and CSE already has that. So it means lesser burden.
Ultimately, be positive, make the most out of the 4 years, and stop regretting.

How much are the packages offered in the electrical branch at IIT Delhi?
I am the right person who can answer this question because my brother recently completed his BTech in Electrical Engineering from IIT Delhi. He revealed the actual side of the placements in Electrical, the side that no media covers and is the dark reality.
Indeed there are packages as high as INR 70 LPA, but these opportunities are outside India in countries like Singapore, South Korea, the US or the UK. Other core jobs offered to Electrical students are limited to India and are very few with average packages.
The only perk of being a student of this branch is that it is a general branch covering diverse sectors and you are open to sitting for placements in all sectors be it Finance, Consultancy, Core, Coding, or Data Science. Electrical Engineering is a generalized and vast branch. However, the packages for these are mediocre with the highest around 25 LPA (CTC). The in-hand salary is much lower.
The companies offering the highest packages in India include
- Samsung
- Goldman Sachs
- Tower Research Capital
- Quadeye
Other companies offer average packages in the range of 15-16 LPA only.

Should I choose civil engineering or electrical engineering at Thapar University? I have to choose one and enter in university counselling in 2-3 days.
A number of central government PSUs and other government firms hire Electrical Engineers. Some of these government institutions include- ISRO, DRDL, BHEL, PGCL etc. Therefore, for government jobs both Civil and Electrical Engineering from Thapar University are a good option.
However, for private sector jobs, Electrical Engineering from Thapar University is a better option. Even for research opportunities, Electrical is a better option than Civil Engineering. In areas like wireless power transmission, solar efficiency improvement, etc. a breakthrough will fetch you a lot of patents.
Go for Civil if you are genuinely interested in this branch. You can also go for research in this field. But for Civil, the importance of R&D in the Indian market is quite low. Internships will be difficult for you to get in this branch and switching to software is not easy. The Civil coursework will not challenge you and you might develop laziness. However, as a Civil Engineer, if you have a few contacts and can establish your own firm, you will make good money.
As far as streams are concerned, Electrical is a better option than Civil. However, I would suggest you talk to Thapar University alums to figure out which branch gets more placement offers at Thapar. You should find out which branch has a better faculty and placement offers before making a choice.
What is the average package of the IIT BHU electrical? Is it a good choice at an AIR of 2145 in the JEE Advanced?
IIT BHU Electrical's average package is around INR 26 LPA. The department observes a decent placement scenario with more than 98% of students getting placed every year. Out of these, 85% are placed in the non-coding sector. The institute does not release official data on branch-wise placements so I collected data from unofficial sources. Based on that, the highest salary package offered was around INR 66 LPA, the lowest was around 14 LPA, and the average was 26 LPA.
Top recruiters who recruited Electrical students are Microsoft, Amazon, Gravitron, BNY Mellon, etc. Some of the top roles offered are SDE, HFT, quantum computing, and data analysis. Almost all students got internships. My friend got an internship at Samsung, Delhi for 2 months.

I have got admission in IIT Indore electrical. How is the life there at IIT Indore? And how is the Electrical branch over there?
IIT Indore has started operating from its permanent campus. Life here is very fulfilling and vibrant. The first year is light on your academics and you will have enough time to participate in club activities and extracurriculars. The seniors help you in every possible way. Life here is very dynamic and college fests are held in even semesters.
The infrastructure of IIT Indore is relatively new and still needs development.
The EE branch of IIT Indore has a highly qualified faculty pool with the most learned professors. The curriculum is very challenging with many mathematical concepts. But if you attend the classes regularly you won’t face any major issues. What matters the most is your genuine interest in the branch.
All in all, maintain a good CGPA and make the most of your 4 years ahead! What matters is how well you avail the opportunities that compare your way.
How is IIT Indore electrical? Placement and opportunity wise.
The Electrical Department of IIT Indore is well-regarded and provides excellent education and opportunities to its students.The department has a qualified pool of professors and assistant professors who have expertise in their respective fields.
There are a number of technical clubs like the electronics club and robotics club which bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical exposure.
Here is a list of achievements of students from the IIT Indore electrical department.
- Many students opt for the MS and foreign exchange program
- Top companies like Intel, Qualcomm, Mentor Graphics and others come for recruitment
- Students also get great opportunities from non-core companies.
- The curriculum is well-structured and there is a good balance between theoretical and practical aspects.
- Students get enough time to prepare for competitive exams like GATE, GRE, TOEFL, and others.
- You have options to go for IAS and IES also.
Thus the electrical department is an excellent choice provided that you maintain good grades along with good coding skills.
What is the scope for Electrical Engineering (EE) students in DCE/DTU?
The Electrical Engineering branch of DTU has a wide scope in terms of academics as well as placements. Students are exposed to a wide range of future prospects and the opportunities are plentiful.
You will be highly disappointed with the academic environment here. The curriculum is poorly structured, obsolete, and irrelevant to industrial needs. The faculty is not passionate about teaching and tends to deliver bookish concepts only. The classes conducted are boring, the students do last-minute mugging up for concepts and get low scores.
Placements-wide, DTU will not disappoint you much. Decent companies come and hire those with decent grades. Some core companies also make great offers. Then again, EE placements cannot be compared to CS or IT placements.
As far as internships are concerned, not even a single core company offers internships to EE students. Usually, coding companies like Amazon and Directl offer internships but EE students hardly are able to secure one.
Eventually, if you are an EE student, you will get placed in core/non-tech companies. Some even go for PSUs or pursue MBA or MS. Remember that the growth of students in EE is more than those in the IT sector. You will need patience and dedication to stay in this branch and reap the benefits in the long run.
