Between the options, you should choose NIT Surathkal IT. Here are the reasons why. 

• The syllabus difference between IT and CSE is not so much in this institute.
• The placement process in the institute is exceptional, specifically for the circuit branches, including IT, CSE, ECE, and EEE. However, in the last year, students are recruited by Google and Microsoft.
• NITK has its own brand name. Maybe it is an NIT, but the students here get a lot of exposure. JEE Mains toppers mainly take admission in this institute every year.

Here is a full overview of NIT Surathkal

You will have to stay here in the hostel, which provides a good experience for them. During the tenure of the course, you will learn how to take care of yourself. Also, if your hometown is Bangalore, then you can frequently visit home.

Considering different factors like placements, activities, infrastructure, Electrical and Electronics Engineering at NIT Surathkal will be a better option. The table below gives a brief level of comparison among ECE at RVCE and EE at NIT Surathkal.

Key Highlights - NIT Surathkal: 

• NIT Surathkal, being one of the top NITs, is a premier institute in India. In NITs, infrastructure and placements are always top-notch and even compared to IITs sometimes.
• The placement in Electrical and Electronics Engineering at NIT Surathkal is excellent. There are many core companies, IT-based companies, and even some PSUs coming for placement.
• The campus of NIT Surathkal has a serene environment, close to the shore, which is worth living for four years.
• In NITs, there is a lot of involvement in extracurricular activities and several technical and cultural events are organized inside the campus.

Considering the above points, it is evident that EE at NIT Surathkal is the better choice.

Last year my brother had the same option between these two institutes. He opted for CSE at PESIT, owing to its brand existing credibility among Bangalore's leading tech firms.

PES University has great industry-wide potential. When it comes to hiring outstanding talent, it is still the first choice for many of Bangalore's top companies. According to the recent placement highlights the median CTC offered at the institute is 6 LPA. 

PES will also offer you excellent faculties, great research culture, and a good peer learning experience.

I have friends from both RV College of Engineering and MIT Manipal, civil engineering holds the same value from either of them. It is because they both follow the same curriculum and guidelines laid by UGC and AICTE. However, both of them hold an edge over each other in their own way. Here’s why:

• MIT Manipal holds a bigger brand value as civil engineering was one of the branches it started and is known for. Other such branches include chemical and mechanical.
• If you are looking for better placements, RV College might be the right choice as it is located in Bangalore which clearly means more opportunities.
• Even if you are getting a computer science branch in MIT Manipal, go for it without a second thought.

The table below shows a brief insight of both institutes:

At the end of the day, your pool of interest matters the most. If you are getting your preferred branch, set the preferences that are more important to you. Are you looking for a great placement or great brand value? The choice is up to you.

Many people would suggest RVCE over MIT mostly because of the quality of faculty members. The faculty for CSE at Manipal Institute of Technology is pretty bad. You have to do all the studying yourself. You can't rely on more than a couple of faculty members for projects. Hence, the institute is not good if you're looking to do a lot of projects.

Since RV College of Engineering is in Bangalore, you are more in the loop and connected to the industry. If you choose to get into research, you have IISc and IIITB situated in the city. If you choose to get a job, there are tons of startups and companies recruiting freshers frequently throughout the year.

If you look at both the colleges with non-academic perspectives, you can feel that RV College of Engineering still has an edge over Manipal Institute of Technology.

If you like the feel of a small town, you might feel better in Manipal as Bangalore is a crowded city with a metropolitan outlook. The choice can be pretty tough while choosing between Manipal Institute of Technology and RV College of Engineering as both the colleges have an extremely good reputation among Indian Engineering colleges.

The dilemma of choosing an engineering branch is one of the most common situations for students who just cleared their 12th boards. Now coming to the question, there are two pieces of advice to be followed in this case.

1. Firstly, it’s high time to sort out your preferences. You need to take time and decide where you are inclined towards. As both of them are totally opposites of each other, it is very crucial to follow your interest as you will be dedicating 4 years of your life. Most importantly, it will decide your career too.
2. Secondly, if you are okay with any of these and the only thing that matters to you is the college name, then go for BITS Goa. There you can also enquire and opt for the dual degree option. Despite one extra year, it will prove worth it. Also, in other parameters like brand name, faculty, etc, BITS Goa outshines RV College any day.

Overall, it's best recommended to follow your interest first as these will be career deciding years of your life, and you don’t wanna regret it later. After all, your hard work and passion are what determines your success.

The short answer is Yes. If EIE is your interest and you want to build your career here then there is no reason to stop. My brother is an alumnus from RV College of Engineering, and here’s why you must definitely go for it.

• If you are good at academics and really into your subject, you will get good placements. 
• For the 2019-20 batch, the department observed 84.09% placements. A total of 37 students got placed among 44 students. 
• The college has a good reputation and history hence, good companies visit there for placements. 
• Any branch will get you a good placement especially CSE and IT. No doubt it’s the same scenario in every institute.

The table below shows the placement statistics of EIE at RVCE:

All in all, if you give your 100% in any branch, you are most likely to get placed. Though the intake of EIE is quite low, all matters are your interest. In most cases, if you have a good rank in entrance exams then you can get EEE in BMSCE or MSRIT with the same rank. However, if your interest lies only in EIE, then don’t give it a second thought.
