It would be advisable to choose the branch as per your interest first. And then if you figure out that you have an interest in civil engineering, you should go to Thapar. On the other hand, if you have an interest in computer science then you should go to Jaypee Noida. 

• Thapar University and Jaypee Noida are both good. 
• The main thing to be concerned about is your interest in the stream. 
• Both the colleges are very reputed but Thapar has a slight edge over Jaypee. 
• The placement record for Jaypee for the past year has not been as good as compared to the previous year‘s records. 
• But if you compare Thapar’s civil and Jaypee’s CS, then you should opt for CS at Jaypee.

Being a student of Jaypee myself, I can say that Thapar’s placement records are better, especially recently.

To be very honest, Civil Engineering is a new branch relative to any other branch at IET DAVV. This brings the biggest drawback that there are no permanent professors for the Civil branch. The same situation is in the labs as well. The labs are well equipped but there is no experienced guide or lab assistant who can assist or demonstrate things to the students. 

Though, being an engineering student, you must be well prepared for the fact that you have to study by yourself. At the IET DAVV campus, despite having better facilities and faculties, they have the same condition. Although, some of the faculties are very brilliant and try to cover the syllabus in the most refined way. You may get less practical exposure here particularly in the civil engineering branch but if you are determined enough, you will get to learn a lot. 

You will also get sufficient time to prepare for competitive exams like GATE, CAT, etc. while you are pursuing B.Tech from IET DAVV because attendance is not a major concern here. 

The placements depend on how actively you participate in them and your academic records are good. If you fulfil the eligibility criteria, you will definitely get a package ranging in between 4-5 LPA which is quite better in such a core field. 

One important thing that you should not miss out on is that IET lets you grow, it is not like any other college which will load you with many assignments. Therefore, If you get a chance to get into IET DAVV, it’s a big yes!

I have friends from both RV College of Engineering and MIT Manipal, civil engineering holds the same value from either of them. It is because they both follow the same curriculum and guidelines laid by UGC and AICTE. However, both of them hold an edge over each other in their own way. Here’s why:

• MIT Manipal holds a bigger brand value as civil engineering was one of the branches it started and is known for. Other such branches include chemical and mechanical.
• If you are looking for better placements, RV College might be the right choice as it is located in Bangalore which clearly means more opportunities.
• Even if you are getting a computer science branch in MIT Manipal, go for it without a second thought.

The table below shows a brief insight of both institutes:

At the end of the day, your pool of interest matters the most. If you are getting your preferred branch, set the preferences that are more important to you. Are you looking for a great placement or great brand value? The choice is up to you.

Before diving into any conclusion, it is important that you understand the basic difference between B.Tech and B.E degrees. Following which, you have to clarify the doubts you have regarding both NIT Goa and Goa Engineering College.

• If you weigh the general brand value that arrives with the NIT tag, you will then already be more exposed to the industrial demands and explore better opportunities at NIT.
• However, there has been a genuine depreciation at Goa Engineering College. 
• You can possibly go out, looking for particular job offers after the completion of the B.E degree but you will obtain better placements by the college cell itself. 
• When talking about the faculty, there are several Ph.D graduates from most of the top institutions who have been teaching at NIT Goa. 
• The highest salary package was 16 LPA at NIT Goa. 
• On the other hand, at GEC, you might or might not secure placement. 
• Their highest package sometimes does not reach even up to 7 LPA. 

Therefore, it is suggested that you opt for NIT Goa, as it will provide you with better opportunities. They have an active placement cell, which not only helps with placements but also conducts seminars, internships and industrial visits.

LNCT is one of the best private colleges in Madhya Pradesh yet, pursuing civil engineering is futile. Following are the reasons for the same: 

• The placement scenario for core branches is very bad. Hardly, any core company visits for recruitment. Even if they do, only 2-3 students are recruited. 
• You have to look for a job on your own. Not many opportunities are provided for civil engineering. 
• The department offers less practical knowledge and more theoretical knowledge.
• The faculty members are not good at the college and the labs are not fully equipped. 
• LNCT Bhopal has a rule for 75% attendance which will only waste your time. You won't be able to prepare for competitive exams like GATE till the 3rd year.
• Preparing for these exams will be very hectic. Less attendance means fewer sessional marks which will degrade your CGPA.

LNCT Bhopal is not a good option if you are looking for a career in engineering. You will have to manage your studies on your own. 

First, you should decide which course you want to pursue B.E. in Electronics or B.E. in Civil Engineering as that would help in comparing institutes and choose the one with the better program.

NIT Surathkal is considered to be one of the best colleges in the country to pursue engineering courses. NIRF 2020 has ranked the institute at 13 for its BTech program. Whereas ranked at 68 for BTech by NIRF 2020, PEC is also one of the Pioneer engineering colleges of the country that imparts quality education in engineering.

Admission:

NIT Surathkal- The total fee for BTech in Civil Engineering program in NIT Surathkal is 5.39 lakh.

• The basic eligibility is that the student must have passed the 10+2 examination with 75% marks from any recognized board and the admissions are based on JEE Mains rank.

• The closing JEE-Main cutoff for Civil in 2019 was 17125 (Other State), 28144 (Home State).

PEC- The total fee for BTech in Mechanical Engineering at Punjab Engineering College is 3.87 lakhs.

• The basic eligibility requirement is that the student must have passed the 10+2 examination with 75% marks from any recognized board and the admissions are based on JEE Mains rank.

• In 2019 the closing cutoff for Mechanical at PEC was 30804.

Placement :

NIT Surathkal offers decent placements for Civil. However, there are not many core companies visiting the campus for Civil Engineering students. Some of the major recruiters like Microsoft, Intuit, Sprinkler, Goldman Sachs, etc. visit the placement drive each year.

On the other hand, Punjab Engineering College has an impressive placement rate. The major companies visiting the campus for recruitment are Google, Amazon, Hatach, Havells India, American Express, HCL Infosystems, etc.

These are a few of the factors that should be considered while choosing between Civil at NIT Surathkal and Electronics at PEC University. So, go through them and decide which option will be better for you.

Bannari Amman Institute of Technology falls under Anna University and has received an “A” grade by NAAC. BIT offers a Bachelor of Engineering degree for Civil Engineering.

The Civil Department organizes many industry-meets, guest lectures to give the students practical in-field experience and keep them updated with the recent industry trends. The department also has industrial MoUs with ACC CEMENTS COIMBATORE, Association of Consulting Civil Engineers, and EDIFICE PLACEMENT SOLUTION COIMBATORE.
