Firstly IIITs are newly established colleges and hence they are far behind from good NITs. I have a friend in NIT Silchar. I heard good things about the institute from him. 

Here are some of the things that make NIT Silchar a good choice.

• It is 9th on the list of top 10 NITs.
• It is the second most premium institute in the northeast after IIT Guwahati.
• Placements here are top class with great infrastructure and world-class faculty.
• NIT Silchar is known for its Digital Library which is the biggest, not only in India but in entire South Asia.

You should go for NITs and you won't regret it. Rest depends on your research and feasibility.

I have a few friends from both NIT Trichy and CEG and here is what I gathered from my conversations with them. 

• In terms of ranking, NIT Trichy is placed higher than CEG. This is because NIT admits students based on JEE Mains ranking and CEG admits students based on board marks.
• In terms of placements, NIT Trichy would be way ahead of CEG. The college enjoys a better reputation and big firms come for placements.
• For ECE, then recruiting companies visiting the on-campus placements at NIT Trichy are Qualcomm, Texas Instruments, SanDisk, Nvidia, etc. The average CTC offered is 6 LPA. 
• You can also go for higher education if you have a good GPA and great projects.
• The faculty team is overall good. A few of them are extremely knowledgeable and conduct high-quality research. In terms of facilities, NIT Trichy has an edge over CEG. 
• Since CEG is in Chennai, there are other sources of enjoyment but NIT Trichy is 20 km away from Trichy.

Overall, NIT Trichy will be a better choice than CEG.

Electrical and Electronics Engineering (EEE) and Electronics and Communication Engineering (ECE) are two different branches of engineering. As some of my friends had these courses, I can share some details about them, later analyzing which you can make a decision. 

• EEE is concerned with electrical engineering, which encompasses circuits, transformers, electrostatics, magnetics, and other related topics.
• ECE is concerned with the electrical and communication aspects of the subject. Communication is learning a programming language, VLSI, and coding. After CSE, it is the most popular branch among students.
• As a matter of interest, both the ECE and EEE branches are fascinating and demanding. 
• Hence, one should choose either of the two based on his or her own personal interests.
• If you don't have a particular interest and want to choose based on placement opportunities, then ECE is recommended. 
• It has a scope that is even greater than CSE. 

Because CSE is currently at its pinnacle and will almost certainly reach saturation in the next 4 to 5 years. So, at this time, it would be wiser to choose ECE. regardless of the college, whether it is NIT Trichy, NIT Warangal, or any other NITs or IITs in India.

At first, the term 'best faculty' is not an extensive classification basis. As we know Electronics and Communication are a vast field of engineering, and here we can classify roughly into Digital and analog domains.

The faculty members have different specializations and some are indeed true masters of their trend.

• For Signal Processing - Dr. G Abhilash – He is the perfect blend of Dedication and discipline redefined. He makes students learn subjects through the blend of excellent lecturing skills as well as practical sessions.
• For Communication - Dr. lillykutty Jacob and Dr. P C Subramanian (Chaos Theory)
• For Semiconductor Physics, VLSI - Dr. Rama Subramanian – He is also very popular among students for his student-friendly nature.
• For Embedded - Lyla B Das – Also the author of some textbooks, she has the industry experience and is also student-friendly.

Dr. Sathi Devi and Dr. Elisabeth Elias are also doing remarkable work in their fields.

Dr. Praveen Sankaran, Ameer P M, Dr. Rama Subramanian, and Abhilash are some of the coolest ones among the faculty members and personal favorites of most of the students. They just not come to deliver lectures but also motivate the students and share their industrial experience.

Yes, they are enough but only if you do not miss a single class, and are very serious about every assignment and internal mark.

Your professors and seniors would definitely suggest you the reference books and you should their advice. Everything is not about marks. You should have surplus knowledge about your subjects which brings completeness into the course. 

Due to time limitations, everything cannot be taught in the class. Also, engineering is beyond your semester syllabus.

Well, I cannot say whether the decision you took is right or wrong because if you have taken the decision you have given certain thought and time into it. 

Very few have the guts to leave a premier institute like IIEST and join Heritage. If you changed institute because you wanted to change your branch there but you couldn’t, then you made the right choice. 

If you’re interested in higher studies after B.Tech then Heritage does offer good opportunities. ECE has huge scopes. Coming to Heritage, ECE faculty and labs are very good, the teachers will guide you in the best possible way to help you pursue your dreams. One of my friends left civil at NIT, Durgapur for ECE here. Heritage has a decent placement record. According to the recent placement highlights the average CTC offered is 4 LPA. 

If you’re interested in higher studies, then choosing the branch you are passionate about is always a better option than choosing a good institute. 

Both branchers are slightly different except for a few topics that overlap in the curriculum. Comparing it with one another is not worth it as both have their own differences.

Let’s take a quick comparison for clearing one’s view:

• Efforts: CSE is much more on the lighter side than ECE.
• Professors: Neither of the branches has good faculty members but ECE is probably better.
• Students: CSE will have a lot of North Indians if you want to look it that way.
• Placements: CSE has no comparison to other branches in terms of opportunities not only in jobs but even in internships. 70% batch gets internships after 3rd year in very good companies. 
• NIT-T Fest: This is one of the things which excites every student after placement statistics. It’s amazing out there.

It is suggested to select the field based on interest. Go for CSE only if you are inclined towards the field otherwise, both branches can give you ample opportunities to learn and grow.

CSE at JIIT is clearly better than ECE at Thapar. You must have a minimum JEE rank of 51,000 to get CSE at JIIT Noida. 

There are no state quota, caste quota, or NRI quota at JIIT but Thapar offers a 50% quota for Punjab state students. This results in a superior quality of students at JIIT Noida than Thapar. Due to quotas and an increase in the number of seats, anyone can get admission at Thapar University.

If a student has a 300,000 rank in JEE Main, he will not be able to gain a seat anywhere, but if he is from Punjab, he may be able to secure a place in Electrical Engineering in Thapar. This explains how Thapar's situation has deteriorated.

JIIT will offer you great exposure which is actually required in CSE with regular industrial visits. CSE has more scope in terms of placements than ECE. 

Both the branches, be it ECE or IT are similar in LNCT. The branch to be taken should not anyhow depend on the college rather it should depend on your interest. 

• Try choosing the college based on your interests.
• Evaluate the academics, placements, facilities offered, etc. before finalizing your answer.
• LNCT has a good reputation, with proper well maintained infrastructure.
• They offer the students with all the necessary facilities and modern equipment.
• IT at LNCT is really good, it has much better reviews than ECE.

It is suggested that you go for IT at LNCT, as it has more placement on campus and opportunities for IT students.
