The answer to this question depends on your future goals. Here are a few highlights of electrical engineering at NIT Durgapur-
The department has a fair share of weaknesses. Despite this, it is one of the oldest departments of NIT Durgapur. After CSE, ECE and ME, EE is the best branch at NIT Dgp.
Thus, you should definitely consider Electrical at NIT Durgapur.
There are two things you should be aware of: current arrears and arrears history. The current arrear is the one for which you have not yet cleared the paper at the time of placement. To put it simply, they are the unresolved papers you have in the seventh and eighth semesters, i.e. during the placement season.
The history of arrears is the one you cleared at the time of placement, but it will remain in your academic records. Every company has its own criteria for selecting candidates, but the majority of companies (say, 98%) will not hire a student who is currently in arrears. What's more, you wouldn't be able to attend even large IT companies.
So, to get to the point, having an arrear in the first semester will not affect your placements, but you should complete the paper by the sixth semester (for non-circuit branches) or the end of the second year (for circuit branches) as placements begin a little earlier, such as having internship opportunities in the third year in great companies such as Microsoft ( for CS and IT). If you are a mechanical engineer and have an arrear and clear it, you will be unable to attend some good companies such as Hyundai, Daimler(Benz), and others.
Thapar University is one of the oldest and most reputed universities with a legacy of more than 60 years. It usually is a backup choice for those who couldn’t make it to IITs and NITs. Here are some snippets of the institute
In all, Thapar University can be considered for engineering if you did not make it to IITs, NITs, BITS, DTU, and IIITs.
If you plan to change to CS, it is quite difficult to shift from EE to CS at IIT Hyderabad. It is easier for other branches to change to CS.
Mechanical and Chemical students get CS during branch change, but the chances are less for Electrical students. This is the experience of one of my friends at IIT Hyderabad.
CS at IIT Hyderabad is better than CS at other new IITs. IIT Hyderabad is one of the best among the new IITs. IIT Hyderabad is showing tremendous growth.

When it comes to EEE, NIT Trichy is one of the very best. NIT Trichy is the top NIT and is far better than the new IITs. The department of EEE is reputed at NIT Trichy. Every year multiple students from diverse backgrounds take admitted to this department to pursue their dreams. However, it also depends on your convenience. If you can shift to Trichy for your graduation, then NIT Trichy is your best option.
The campus environment of NIT Trichy is wonderful. You will get to meet people from diverse backgrounds as well as the facilities that are provided are top-notch. The EEE department also excels in research so if you want to pursue research in your future then you should definitely opt for NIT Trichy/ Also, the faculty members are helpful and knowledgeable and their lectures are just mind-blowing.
Academics is the top most priority of IIIT Delhi. Everything else takes a backseat. This may be because it is branded as a research institute.
If you wish to pursue research in CSE or complete your MS/Ph.D. from a foreign university, choose IIIT Delhi. Academically, IIITD is comparable to IIT Bombay, IIIT Hyderabad, etc. But don’t choose IIIT Delhi if you are planning for an MBA later on. In this case, you might end up dropping out due to a loss of interest in this course.
As for placements, more than 95% of B.Tech CSE students are placed each year. However, very few non-tech companies visit the campus. As ECE receives very few core companies, students from both branches compete against each other for tech jobs.
Based on your own priorities and goals, decide whether or not to choose IIITD for your CSE course.
The word better is a competitive form. Since you haven’t mentioned better than which college I have done a general comparison. Well yes, NIT Jalandhar is better than:
Other private colleges are just money-making machines
New NITs
Some new IITs as well
Established in 1987, this college has a strong alumni base so it’s better than many new colleges.
I am a student of CSE at NIT Hamirpur. Here are a few facts about my branch-
Considering all these factors, and the fact that it offers the best placement records, I would say that CSE is the best branch at NIT Hamirpur.
NIT Silchar is ranked 40th for Engineering and 83rd for overall performance by the NIRF 2023 Rankings. It is a tier 2 institute.
However, NIT Silchar carries the prestigious ‘NIT’ tag. Its worth shouldn’t be underestimated simply because it is located in a lesser-known city. It is in fact one of the oldest NITs and has one of the largest digital libraries in South Asia. It covers an area of 680 acres and has good academic and research facilities. The faculty is quite good and the placements are also increasing year on year. Top companies like Microsoft, Directi, Sap Labs, Oracle, Oil India Corporation, Power Grid, Bharat Electronics Limited, etc. visit the campus for placements.
Thus, NIT Silchar is a good choice to pursue your Engineering studies.
