ECE at BIT Mesra or M.S. Ramaiah Bangalore: Which is the better choice for my son who loves electronics?

Ans: Chris Sir, please note some factors / facts and then let her daughter decide (1) She is more interested in Electronics or CSE? (2) ECE is slightly tougher than CSE and less number of Core Companies visit the Campus, though some IT-Software Companies prefer even ECE Students (3) Location Preference. Distance between college and home. College provides transport facility from / to your home? To stay in Hostel or stay as day-scholar? It is UP TO her to decide. However, just my suggestion: (1) NITTE-M for CSE (2) MSRIT-ECE. Please avoid forcing her what I have suggested. Let her decide Sir. All the BEST for your Daughter's Bright Future.
