Both IIEST and NIT Sikkim are excellent institutes for engineering in India. There are several aspects in which one of the two institutes is ahead of the other. The points below elaborate on those factors for both the institutes to give a brief overview of both the campuses.
Overall, both the colleges are decent in their own aspects, providing several opportunities to students in fields of placement and research. It is on you to do good research about both, observe the key highlights, and then make a decision.
Before choosing an institute, think about what your requirements are. Here are some points that might help you make a decision.
Therefore it is suggested that if you aim for an immediate job opportunity, go for NITs. For students who feel confident that they can get a job off campus or are more inclined towards academics and research can go for TU.
The placement in CSE at NIT Sikkim is very good, having offers from top MNCs across the world. The points below give a brief overview of the placement of NIT Sikkim, specific to Computer Science and Engineering.
Therefore, it is clear that placements in CSE at NIT Sikkim are as good as any other institute of the national importance of the same level.
EE from NIT Agartala is better. The EE department is among the best department on campus. It department has a great faculty pool. You will also get many subject options compared to other departments in the college.
NIT Agartala EE placement average is 70%. Students get an average CTC of 6-7 LPA. Many private companies as well as PSU recruit students through the campus placement drive.
Both NIT Goa and NIT Sikkim are decent options considering the atmosphere surrounding the campus. But, NIT Sikkim has some disadvantages. The points below state some of the advantages and disadvantages of both the institutes.
Here is an overview of the recent placement statistics for the institutes.
Institute |
NIT Sikkim |
NIT Goa |
Average CTC |
8 LPA |
7 LPA |
Highest CTC |
18 LPA |
15.9 LPA |
Major recruiters |
Infosys, DRDO, Huawei |
ZS Associates, Samsung R&D, HFCL |
Thus, it is clear that NIT Goa is a clear winner among the two.
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.
You should choose NIT Sikkim EC. The department has a great faculty base. Most of the faculty members are alumni of reputed IITs. The institute offers good placement opportunities to students. For 2020-21 academic year, NIT Sikkim placements have seen a 72.86% placement rate. Reputed companies such as TCS, Godrej, Infosys, etc. take part in the placement drive.
NIT Sikkim is one of the 10 newly sanctioned NITs built by the Government of India. Here is what you need to know about the EEE branch at the institute.
Therefore, if you have an interest in the fields of electrical and electronics, you can surely opt for the institute.
Do not come here with too many expectations because you are most likely to get disappointed. My friend is currently in 3rd year of B.Tech at NIT Sikkim, and according to his first-hand experience, the hostel scenario is as follows:
BOYS HOSTEL
GIRLS HOSTEL
The hostels might not be the best in terms of infrastructure or facility, it all boils down to the memories you make during your journey. However, if hostel facilities are your topmost priority, then NIT Sikkim is not the place for you.
Many students go through this dilemma and the right way to choose a college is to compare them on various aspects. As some of my friends are from these institutes, I can provide a bit of information about them.
Civil Engineering Department of NIT Sikkim
Categories | Civil Engineering at NIT Sikkim |
Course Fee | 5.35 lakh |
Highest CTC | 12 LPA |
Average CTC | 5-7 LPA |
Recruiting Companies | Tata Steel, Ambuja Cement, Aditya Birla, BHEL, etc. |
Hence, NIT Sikkim is a very good college to pursue civil engineering and you should definitely go for it over any other private institution. It will give various opportunities which will be very helpful for your career.
