  • The institute calls parents if they don’t attend your class. 
  • The hostel curfew timing for girls is strict. You need to be inside the hostel premises at 6 pm during winter and 6:30 pm during summer.

Which is better at CUSAT, IT or EC?

SR

Sikha Rajput

20 Jul 21

Both the options are good. There is no such difference in the quality of education, either in these two branches, or any other branch in CUSAT.

They make you work hard, focus on every detail, and stress a lot on the practical classes and labs.

As for the faculty, 85% are permanent. As for the quality of faculty, everyone will have a different view. According to my friends at CUSAT, the only difference you will find between the branches is that the EC people toil 3 times harder than the other branches.

According to the overall placement statistics the average and highest CTC offered to the students is 4 LPA and 15 LPA.

You should choose the branch that is better for you. Think about the branch where your interest lies, will you be able to manage the workload efficiently, does the subject interest you, or which branch has the better placements matter. However, I would like to advise you not to be bothered by placements any more.

IIIT Allahabad offers a great ECE program. The course curriculum is well-structured and covers many subjects. You will learn the core subjects of ECE in the first year itself. The first-year course work doesn’t include subjects like Mechanical, Chemistry, Engineering Drawing, etc. This is one of the major advantages of choosing IIIT Allahabad. 

IIIT Allahabad placements are good for ECE. Here are the recent placement highlights.

Parameters Statistics
Average CTC  INR 12.5 LPA
Highest CTC  INR 39 LPA
Placement rate  85%

Goldman Sachs, Citi Bank, Morgan Stanley, etc. are among the major recruiters that take part in campus recruitment.

How is the Electronics and Computer Engineering Branch of Thapar University in terms of faculty and placement and is it good to join thapar now?

TS

Tania Sharma

12 Aug 21

ECE at Thapar University is more Hardware orientated. You may find yourself dealing with semiconductors for about 3 to 3.5 years. In addition to this, will be the onslaught of programming languages and a little portion of database and networking. 

In case you opt for the Computer Science program, you'll notice that it is purely software-oriented and has a lot more on programming languages, architectures, databases,, and networking.

ECE is the 2nd best option after CSE as its cut-off is just below it. This year, cut off score for ECE is as listed below:

Particulars General Category (Outside Punjab) General Category (From Punjab)
10th Marks (PCM) 95.66% 85%
JEE Main 2021 65.05 percentile 87.47 percentile

As for placements, some well-known companies which visit for recruitment, are Texas Instruments, Whirlpool India, TCS, HP, Larsen and Toubro, ST Electronics, Philips, Mu Electronics India, and others. The placement rate is an amazing 99% for most of the departments. The highest package offered this year is 43 LPA and a total of 970 students got placed.

  • The institute has a 300-acre campus of lush green. So, surviving here won't be an issue.
  • The institute organizes great workshops such as Hydraulics, Web Development, and Circuit Building, etc. He said after one and a half months, he realized that the institute offers lots of opportunities, and grabbing them is what you have to do.

  • Hostels have good Wi-Fi speeds ranging from 1.2 - 3 Mbps sometimes.
  • Professors are quite cooperative and they employ new techniques for teaching.

Which should I opt for, BITS Goa CSE or NIT Calicut ECE? I am having a financial crunch.

PN

Pooja Narayan

26 Aug 21

If finances are an issue, then BITS Goa isn’t the right place to go unless you come under the EWS category (total family income less than 11 LPA).

BITS Goa is one of the most expensive engineering colleges in India. A B.E degree can end up costing about 19 to 20 lakhs for 4 years and an M.Sc degree about 19 lakhs. If you are from general category, BITS Goa will dent your wallet for the next few years.

Besides being one of the best engineering NITs in the country, the fees for NIT Calicut are much, much lighter around 5.5 lakhs for 4 years. Getting a Circuit branch is no easy task as the cutoffs are pretty high. If you’re getting ECE here, and money is an issue, then this is the place to go.

Although, if you’re under the EWS section, BITS Goa will offer scholarships based on your performance in the first year. If you’re able to obtain a CGPA of 8.5+, then a scholarship of 80% is awarded. For a CGPA of 7.5, a scholarship of 40% is awarded, and so on.

If you are a person who can spend hours before the computer and likes the challenging corporate life then CSE will be a better option for you after the 12th. If you are interested in studying various subjects and then choosing your specialisation, you work hard and are disciplined, then you choose ECE. You can also work on research in DRDO or ISRO. 

One of my friends studies in the NIT Calicut CSE department, and students get a decent placement there. The highest package offered to students at NIT Calicut is INR 49.75 LPA while the average package is INR 11.58 LPA. CSE students easily get internship opportunities in good companies which gives them pre-placement offers. 

If you are curious about the hostel life of a girl’s NIT Calicut then here are few details. 

  1. NIT Calicut hostel rules are strict specifications for first year students.
  2. In the first year, 4-5 students will live in one room, second and third-year students get two roommates and final year students get single occupancy. 
  3. There are four messes in NIT Calicut, and one of them is pure-veg. Its mess food is better than other institutes such as IITs and NITs. It also has a night mess opened from 9 to 12.

Therefore, the NIT Calicut CSE department is good. After you get promoted in the second year, you will start enjoying your campus stay. The campus is also beautiful. The Calicut climate is also good, most of the month it is hot and rains in one semester. So, you can choose CSE if you're passionate about it.
