Should I study IT from IIEST Shibpur or EC from SVNIT?

IT from IIEST Shibpur is a better choice than EC from SVNIT Surat. Both my classmates and I agree to the fact that IIEST Shibpur is a much better institute than SVNIT. The reasons for the same are given below –

• It is a common observation that many of the EC engineering graduates eventually work as software engineers, which is not their core domain.
• IT is very close to CSE in terms of coding and related works. You will definitely learn more in IT rather than EC even if you are interested in software.
• If you want you can learn software development and coding on your own, then go for the EC branch of SVNIT.
• But that will require a lot of effort, time management, and discipline.
• IT at IIEST, Shibpur will also give a mental satisfaction that you are working in the same field as intended while in EC at SVNIT you will probably have to join a job that is not related to your core EC subjects.
• Even if you are passionate about EC, the faculty in this department at SVNIT are not very good. They are too young for the job.
• Of course, there will be seniors and various clubs to help you out but faculty are at the core of any teaching system.

If you are really interested in EC then choose SVNIT. But if you are interested in coding and that is the job you want, then definitely IIEST, Shibpur should be your primary choice.
