Which is the better choice in terms of placements, NIT Silchar Civil or NIT Sikkim ECE?
Posted On - Jul 16, 2021It is difficult for me to say which department is better NIT Silchar Civil and NIT Sikkim ECE as both have their own strengths and weaknesses. I recommend researching both options and considering factors such as program curriculum, faculty, research opportunities, and job prospects before making a decision.
From what I know, ECE is a better branch than Civil in terms of job opportunities in India. However, if you consider the institutes, NIT Silchar is much better than NIT Sikkim. NIT Silchar Civil department has many experienced and qualified faculty. Usually, PSUs recruit the students of this branch, and the core jobs are limited.
I dont think you should choose NIT Sikkim ECE as it's a relatively new institute and hasn't established a strong rapport with the recruiters yet.
Ultimately, the decision depends on your personal preferences and career prospects.
Among NIT Silchar and NIT Sikkim, NIT Silchar is better. The placement and faculty at NIT Sikkim are not that great since it is a newly formed NIT. NIT Silchar is one of the oldest NITs and hence the placement here is good, for the civil department as well.
According to 2020 placement highlights, the average and highest CTC offered at NIT Silchar are 7 LPA and 35 LPA. The average and highest CTC offered at NIT Sikkim are 8 LPA and 18 LPA respectively.
Many students leave NIT Sikkim when they get NIT Silchar in spot rounds, you will find a lot of such students at NIT Silchar who earlier were at NIT Sikkim.
If you work hard and score a CGPA of or above 9, you can apply for changing your branch after the first year. In every college, you will find an ample number of students who changed their branches after the first year.
I recommend NIT Silchar.
