One of my friends pursued his undergraduate studies at NIT Calicut. I will try to give an insight into the EEE department at NIT Calicut based on the things I heard from my friend. 

Student Crowd:

NIT Calicut has an approximate 50% home state selection policy. So, almost half of the student base is from Kerala. Other than that, there is a major portion of the other half from Telegu states and some from Northern India. So, very few students are from other South Indian and East Indian states.

Faculty:

• Most professors are extremely strict in class, attendance, and evaluation. 
• Most professors of EEE have good teaching capabilities and conceptual knowledge. There is information about faculties and their experiences on the college website.

Laboratories:

The labs in the electrical engineering department are quite decent, and up to the required standard, with some faulty machines too.

Overall, the EEE department at NIT Calicut can be considered a branch with enough resources and strict discipline.

If the arrangement for the fee which is charged by MIT would not be a problem for you then It is suggested that you opt for admission in Electronics and Instrumentation Engineering at MIT Manipal. Having some friends studying there I can say that there are many things that make MIT Manipal stand out.

Some of the good things about MIT Manipal which makes it a better option include the following:

• The rank of MIT in the NIRF rankings is much higher than that of NIT Goa.
• MIT Manipal offers better campus facilities and opportunities as NIT Goa is a relatively newer college.
• Some of the well-known firms from the domain of electronics and other core branches recruit students of MIT Manipal.
• Even if they are not in large numbers, they are more than other institutions where just one or two key companies from the electronics field visit to recruit candidates.
• I am not familiar with the faculty of EEE at NIT Goa, but at MIT the EI department faculty is excellent.

Summer internships are available at companies like Western Digital and Reliance for students in their fifth or sixth semester. If you get an internship through campus recruitment, you may be able to convert it to PPO if you do well during the tenure of your internship.

My friends had studied at NIT Trichy in CSE and EEE. The placements for both of these branches are top-notch.

Here are the placement statistics of NIT Trichy for the year 2020.

In the EEE branch, the highest CTC offered is around 32 LPA while the average CTC is about 8 LPA. Some of the top recruiters include Volvo, Wipro, Yahoo, HDFC Bank, HP, HNG, HCL, Godrej, Ford, etc.

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.

After doing some research online, I would suggest not to go for IEM at Ramaiah, until and unless you are extremely interested in studying that particular subject. Since it will not pay you anything and you will eventually wind up in the same category of mass placement at one of the service-based companies. 

Double-check the topics you will be studying. EEE is usually less exposed than IEM, yet EEE is regarded as the most complex branch to be studied. 

The majority of EEE / ECE / other branches receive job offers from Infosys, HCL, Accenture, or Tech Mahindra.

So, what is the point of learning core Electronics if all you have to do at the conclusion of your engineering degree is code? If you want to build a career, think seriously about the branch you select. Regardless of the institution you attend, I believe EEE is far superior to IEM. Pursue EEE only if you are truly passionate about the subject.
