Bachelor of Technology [B.Tech] (Electronics & Communication Engineering) From DTU, New Delhi

Both of the colleges have their own specialties. It depends on your purpose for doing any of the mentioned courses. One of my friends graduated from DTU and he mentioned a few points about the same which may be helpful for you-

• If your focus is on taking a decent job after graduation or earning money, opt for other options than physics.
• But if you have your interest in the field of research in physics or you want to do your higher studies in the field of physics, then go for Engineering in Physics.
• My friend from the physics branch in DTU straight away mentioned that the physics department in DTU doesn’t have decent placement opportunities, be it the on-campus placement or off-campus placement.
• ECE being a practical-oriented subject has a lot of demand in the industry.
• Also after graduating with ECE, you can sit for placements of both core companies and IT firms. Thus there will be a lot of job opportunities.
• Half of the students who have enrolled themselves on the physics branch were misled and the other half was too sure and passionate about this branch.
• Whereas, ECE at IIIT UNA can provide you with a good job right after you graduate.

Hence, it is up to you what is your purpose behind taking a course, if it’s research, go for engineering physics and if it’s about taking a decent job in the field of Electronics, then go for IIIT Una.

IIT Bhubaneswar and DTU are both well-reputed institutes for engineering in India. Between the branches, COE offers more opportunities as compared to ECE. However, you should choose the institute based on the branch you are interested in.

IIT Bhubaneswar is considered among the top engineering colleges in India. NIRF has ranked IIT Bhubaneswar at 17th among the engineering colleges. Admission to the ECE program at the institute is done based on the performance of the student in JEE Advanced and the minimum eligibility criteria for admission is 75% aggregate in 10+2. The course fee is 2.14 lakhs (1st-year course fee).

ECE is a new branch in IIT Bhubaneswar. The first batch of ECE graduated in 2020. Before 2016, electrical engineering was a combination of EEE and ECE. In 2020, 97% of the students from ECE got the placements in many top MNCs.The average CTC offered was INR 15.8 LPA. However, the highest domestic CTC offered was around INR 43.3 LPA.

DTU is ranked 2nd and 34th as the best technological university as per TES and NIRF. The admission to the program is done on the basis of the performance of the student in JEE Mains. The course fee for COE at DTU is 1.66 lakhs (1st-year fee).

According to the placement statistics of 2019, a total of 122 students of COE got placement offers. The highest CTC offered to the COE students was INR 40.63 LPA.

The ECE branch at DTU is very competent. It has a pool of talented, intelligent, and hardworking students. The reason being that the cutoffs for ECE usually are high. DTU ECE students get placed every year in MNCs like Qualcomm, SanDisk, TI, Samsung, and other such reputed firms that hire electronics engineers. A good percentage of the students also pursue an MS from renowned universities across the globe. Students also prepare for competitive exams like CAT, GATE, UPSE CSE, and even succeed in them.

The faculty here is very knowledgeable and teaches lucidly. They are also very lenient in their evaluation.

The curriculum is entirely focused on hardware, communication, computer architecture, advanced integrated circuits, signals and systems, superior probability, networking, and control systems. This is just a broad classification, the actual curriculum is vast, and students can find a lot of interesting sub-fields in electronics. The only drawback of the curriculum is that it does not offer any CSE electives. Assignments are scarce and can be efficiently dealt with as the solutions are readily available from various sources.

The workload is at the bare minimum level. The exams require just a couple of weeks of diligent studying. For the rest of the semester, one is free to explore his/her skills, hobbies, and interests.

75% and above GPA is straightforward to achieve and maintain. Pushing a bit more during the exam period can fetch even 80% and above. This all makes the college life here very exciting and rewarding. To sum up, ECE at DTU is a good option that can be exercised if one compares among the top NITs.
