Electrical and Computer science is very different from each other and they have very few things similar to each other. 

  • In electrical engineering, the course module includes a lot of physics and classical and applied maths, but in computer science, the course module includes discrete and applied maths and there is no part of physics. 
  • In electrical engineering, there are a lot of theoretical studies of maths and physics but in computer science, there are mostly logical studies and coding. Although at the advanced level, these two branches do marge a bit, they are completely different for beginners. 

Here’s a brief overview of the two courses mentioned in the question. 

Parameters 

EE at Nirma University 

CS at SRM

Average CTC

6 LPA

6-8 LPA

Highest CTC

28 LPA


So, you should choose the branch according to your skills and knowledge, rather than choosing a branch, based only on placements. Otherwise, you may have to opt for branch change after 1st year.

The two things that help you choose between new IITs and old NITs (or top NITs) are the Tag Value and the Experience.

Better Choice

  • If you like to have a tag of IIT, then choosing IIT Jodhpur is a better option. But if you are comfortable with a good branch in top NITs, then NIT KKR is a better option for the long run, even though you have the option of IIT in your hand.
  • The reason for choosing old NIT over new IIT is that the old NIT will have a well-established alumni base. Even the professors are skilled.

Features of the institutes

The placements of NIT KKR for CSE are excellent. The highest package of INR 43.31 LPA in NIT KKR went for CSE branch. Even the placement percentage are:

Overall, the choice depends upon the above-mentioned factors and the branch in which you are interested. In NIT KKR, there is a competitive environment in terms of study. CSE branch is the best to be pursued from NIT Kurukshetra.
