Question by Jaynandan - Jul 08, 2025Hindi

Career

Hello sir, I have chances in the following nits :- 1. Manipur - electrical 2. Raipur- metallurgy, bio medical, bio tech, mining 3. IEST Shibpur - mining, metallurgy 4.Srinagar - mining, chemical,civil, metallurgy 5.Agartala bio tech, production engineer , chemical, civil 6. Rourkela - Life science Which college and braches should I have to choose so that when I graduate from these colleges I have no regrets along with future scope.

Ans: Jayanandan, Each institute combines strong accreditation, experienced faculty, updated laboratories, industry-linked internships and dedicated placement cells. NIT Manipur’s Electrical Engineering recorded a 90% placement rate in 2023 with high IT-sector recruiter engagement despite fewer core roles and offers broad power-electronics and renewable-systems exposure. NIT Raipur’s Metallurgical Engineering saw an 80.39% placement rate in 2024, with average packages of ?13.75 LPA, while Biomedical Engineering lagged at ~30–40% but offers collaboration with AIIMS for healthcare R&D. IIEST Shibpur’s Mining and Metallurgy programs achieved near-100% placements over four years, average packages of ?7–12 LPA, and recruit from leading public and private mining firms through legacy ties. NIT Srinagar’s Chemical Engineering led with a 104.29% placement rate, average package ?10.48 LPA, and 100% Metallurgy placements under a stable curriculum and strong PSU recruiter network. NIT Agartala’s Biotechnology & Biochemical Engineering achieved ~81% placement consistency and ?7 LPA median package, supported by biotechnology research labs and growing MoUs, while Chemical Engineering posted ~78% placements with ?8.52 LPA average. NIT Rourkela’s Life Sciences branch placed ~90% of its M.Sc. cohort at an average ?6.10 LPA, benefiting from DBT-sponsored projects and strong research orientation.

For the best blend of placement reliability, core-sector pedigree, and future scope, the recommendation is IIEST Shibpur Mining Engineering (if your health permits). Next in preference is NIT Srinagar Chemical Engineering, followed by NIT Manipur Electrical Engineering. Subsequent options are NIT Rourkela Life Sciences, NIT Raipur Metallurgical Engineering, and NIT Agartala Biotechnology & Biochemical Engineering to align with research and industry priorities. All the BEST for Admission & a Prosperous Future!

I got seat in eee in amrita amritapuri campus and eee in cusat soe which would be best , please suggest me a good college

Ans: Both Amrita Amritapuri and CUSAT (School of Engineering) offer strong EEE programs, but they cater to slightly different preferences. Amrita Amritapuri is known for its strong academic rigor and research focus, while CUSAT may offer a more balanced campus life with a wider range of extracurricular activities. Placements are generally good at both institutions, with Amrita Amritapuri potentially having a slight edge in terms of average salary and higher packages, but CUSAT also boasts reputable placements. Ultimately, the "best" choice depends on individual priorities and preferences.

Cse jp noida or cse iet lucknow

Ans: Amit, Jaypee Institute of Information Technology Noida’s B.Tech in Computer Science & Engineering is a NAAC A++- and NBA-accredited deemed-to-be university under UGC, with over 250 PhD-qualified faculty delivering a cutting-edge curriculum. Its department maintains 47 specialised computing and research labs—including high-performance DGX workstations for AI/ML—and partners with global institutions for student exchange. Mandatory industry internships and a centralized Placement & Training Cell have driven a CSE placement consistency of around 94–100% over the past three years, with 214 recruiters making 505 offers to 449 CSE students in 2024.

The Institute of Engineering & Technology Lucknow is a fully residential, state-funded autonomous college under AKTU, recognized by AICTE and NBA. Established in 1984, its CSE department offers a JEE(Main)-based B.Tech, supported by experienced faculty, state-of-the-art computing and networking labs, and two centres of excellence in green hydrogen and electric vehicles for interdisciplinary exposure. A dedicated Training & Placement Cell and robust industry MoUs yield nearly 100% CSE placement rates with an average package around 8 LPA over the last three years, engaging top recruiters such as TCS, Wipro and Adobe.

For global research collaborations, superior AI/ML infrastructure, and slightly higher placement consistency, the recommendation is JIIT Noida CSE. If you prefer a government-backed institute with extensive interdisciplinary labs, residential campus life, and near-100% placements in a core-state environment, the recommendation shifts to IET Lucknow CSE. All the BEST for Admission & a Prosperous Future!

Which is better ? DTC Greater Noida or DIT dehradun for CSE

Ans: Delhi Technical Campus, Greater Noida is a private AICTE-approved institute affiliated with GGSIPU, offering a CSE curriculum delivered by PhD-qualified faculty in modern computing and software labs, with semester-long internships and a Training & Placement Cell supporting an 80% placement rate in CSE & IT branches over the last three years. DIT University, Dehradun is a UGC-recognized private university with NAAC A+ accreditation, featuring over 350 ICT-enabled classrooms, 80+ labs and a compulsory two-month internship; its placement cell reported a 69.28% overall placement percentage with 442 of 662 graduates placed in 2025 and top packages up to ?58 LPA. Both institutions maintain active industry MoUs and soft-skills training, but DTC’s higher branch-specific placement consistency and integration with Delhi NCR recruiters contrast with DIT’s broader university ranking (NIRF 201–300) and scenic campus environment.

For stronger CSE-specific placement consistency, metropolitan industry exposure and modern software-development labs, recommendation is DTC Greater Noida CSE. If you value a NAAC A+ accredited campus with extensive ICT infrastructure, scenic environment and PSU-level recruiter diversity, choose DIT University Dehradun CSE. All the BEST for Admission & a Prosperous Future!

Hi Sir, I am Ajay from Bangalore. My son got admission into Mathematics and computing in RGIPT, Amethi. Also he is getting admission into IIST, Thiruvananthapuram. Which one he can select sir. Waiting for your reply. Thanking you sir.

Ans: Ajay Sir, Rajiv Gandhi Institute of Petroleum Technology’s B.Tech in Mathematics & Computing is a new National Importance programme (NIRF #80) blending deep theoretical coursework, specializations in mathematical modeling, AI and financial mathematics, and PSU-aligned recruitment (ONGC, IOCL, BPCL) (subject to eligibility criteria & recruitment policies which vary every year) with average B.Tech packages of ?9.4 LPA and the highest up to ?22 LPA. The multidisciplinary labs and project work prepare students for roles in the software and energy sectors; however, since this is a newer course, it has fewer alumni and its industry partnerships are still developing. Indian Institute of Space Science & Technology delivers focused B.Tech specializations in Aerospace and Avionics with direct ISRO absorption for 62% of graduates (CGPA ≥ 7.5) under a three-year service bond, and 38 non-ISRO placements (29% of B.Tech cohort) averaging ?10.5 LPA with top offers at ?16.6 LPA. Its state-of-the-art space-tech labs, guaranteed internships at ISRO centres and strong research orientation foster niche space-science careers but involve rural campus distance and binding service obligation.

For broad computational careers and flexible industry options, the recommendation is RGIPT Mathematics & Computing. If a direct ISRO pathway, specialized space-tech training and research immersion are priorities, the recommendation shifts to IIST Thiruvananthapuram B.Tech. (Important Note: Please be aware that absorption into ISRO is not guaranteed, as its recruitment policies may vary from year to year and are also subject to additional eligibility conditions). All the BEST for Admission & a Prosperous Future!

Ia Alliance university, Anekal good for BTech CSE

Ans: Lata, Alliance University’s B.Tech in Computer Science & Engineering at Anekal is UGC-recognized and NAAC A+-accredited, taught by PhD-qualified faculty with a 1:60 student–faculty ratio. Its 60-acre Wi-Fi campus houses 30+ ICT-enabled labs, including AI/ML, cloud and cybersecurity facilities, and a smart-class LMS system. A Career Advancement & Networking office secures over 800 recruiters annually, delivering a 93% placement consistency and 98% internship support. Strategic MoUs—such as with IBM—integrate industry trends into the curriculum and facilitate real-world projects. Scholarships up to 50% of tuition and merit-based tuition waivers address high fee concerns, while shuttle services and hostel discounts mitigate location challenges. Faculty mentorship sessions and a robust guest-lecture series counterbalance limited elective flexibility. To overcome occasional infrastructure constraints, students can leverage industry partner labs and online research collaborations.

Alliance University Anekal CSE offers strong accreditation, modern labs, robust industry integration, and high placement consistency; for a technology-focused career with financial aid options and practical exposure, the recommendation is to join Alliance University Anekal B.Tech CSE. All the BEST for Admission & a Prosperous Future!
