Which is easier, EEE or ECE at NIT Surathkal?
I have a few friends at NIT Surathkal and based on the conversation I had with them, I will say at NIT Surathkal, ECE is considered to be the toughest branch.
- The academics and research are taken very seriously in the department.
- The professors are demanding and highly qualified than other departments.
- In this department everyone, from HOD to lab assistants, everyone is serious about studies and making a point about academic rigor.
- The exams are also very tough and students even fail in lab examinations too.
But the scenario at the EEE department of NIT Surathkal is slightly different and its biggest advantage is that it has a relaxed attendance policy, unlike other branches.
The recent placement statistics for the branches are as follows.

Even if you intend to further research and hold the IIT tag, Mandi is a good alternative. Anyway, BITS is a decent choice, but for the rest of your life, you will miss the IIT tag. In the end, it will be your decision which college you want to opt for or go with.
What should I do I am getting civil at MNNIT Allahabad in first round? This is my first attempt and I'm interested in ISI, IISc or IISER for research.
ISI, at the undergraduate level, teaches statistics and mathematics and IISER is in charge of General Sciences and MNNIT Allahabad offers engineering programs. Think thoroughly about what you want to pursue because the paradigms are different and the impact on the industry is also different.
If you go for civil engineering at MNNIT Allahabad you will find that the subjects are similar in the first year. You can top your class if you study hard. Only the top 2-3 students get the opportunity for changing their discipline after completing the first year. Changing your discipline will enhance your eligibility to the other institutes you have mentioned in your postgraduate.
ISI gives you five options at the postgraduate level:
- MS in Quantitative Economics
- M.Tech in Computer Science
- M.Tech in Reliability, Quality, and Operations Research
- Post Graduate Diploma in Business Analytics (this is co-hosted with IIT Kharagpur and IIM Kolkata)
- In case you want to pursue mathematics then you can go for M.Math.
IISc offers a number of specializations in engineering and general sciences. The eligibility, however, was restricted to undergraduates and the disciplines related to them. For shifting disciplines, you will have to appear for the GATE exams for the discipline you are converting to.
My friend appeared for his GATE exam in CSE to pursue the same in M.Tech. ISI is unique in this case because there are no restrictions here.
Should I take aerospace in PEC or CS in CCET Chandigarh?
It totally depends on your career interest. In India, there are very few jobs in the aerospace industry than in Computer Science Engineering. However, you should definitely pursue ‘Aerospace Engineering' at PEC University.
Aerospace in PEC
- Aerospace Engineering (PEC University) is an excellent choice. It has a good reputation, personal development opportunities, better placements, and experienced faculty members.
- Companies providing placement are Airbus, Rolls-Royce, BAE Systems, Bell Helicopter, Boeing, Honeywell Aerospace, Rockwell Collins, etc.
CS in CCET Chandigarh
- Computer Science from CCET, Chandigarh, on the other hand, is not a good option. It is not as well-known as PEC University.
- Campus placements are limited. CSE is now equivalent to MCA, and MCA graduates can apply for the same job as a Computer Science engineer.
- Companies Provided placements are Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), Infosys, Wipro, HCL, Cognizant Accenture, and many more.
