Ans: Harsha, Your options present distinct advantages with NIT Patna CSE achieving 89.6% placement rate consistently across 2023-2024, while NIT Trichy Instrumentation Control Engineering maintains 100% placement rate in M.Tech ISE programs with overall 88.9% UG placement rate. IIT Jammu Electrical Engineering shows 70.8% overall placement rate with 68.1% BTech placement rate, though the IIT brand provides significant prestige value. The software engineering sector demonstrates exceptional growth with 22% demand increase projected for 2025, creating 9-10 lakh additional jobs across banking, telecom, and healthcare sectors, while core engineering faces declining opportunities as IT companies now prefer coding-proficient candidates offering higher packages to CSE graduates. CSE continues dominating as the most demanded branch in 2025 with dynamic careers in AI, software development, and data analytics, whereas core branches like Instrumentation require pivoting to software-oriented roles for better prospects. NIT Trichy's superior NIRF ranking (9th position) compared to NIT Patna (55th position) and IIT Jammu's newer establishment (2016) with declining placement trends from 85% to 70.8% further influence this decision. Recommendation: Choose NIT Trichy Instrumentation and Control Engineering for its excellent placement record and prestigious institution ranking, while simultaneously developing strong coding skills to leverage software opportunities and maintain flexibility for both core and IT career paths. All the BEST for the Admission & a Prosperous Future!
