Ans: IIIT Tier 1/2 CSE / ECE

Ans: Harsh, IIIT Bhubaneswar’s EEE program, NBA-accredited and ranked within NIRF 201–300, combines modern power-electronics and control labs with PhD-qualified faculty and MoU-backed industry internships. In 2024, 66% of EEE students secured on-campus offers. IIT Kalyani’s CSE branch, a young MoE-funded institute, delivers an AI-and-systems curriculum supported by dedicated coding labs and placement training; its 2024 BTech CSE placement rate was 89.33%. NIT Meghalaya, spanning four engineering disciplines, offers well-equipped core and computing labs under experienced faculty; its 2024 placement rate varied by branch—54.54% in EE, 66.6% in ME, 31.81% in CE—averaging around 45% overall. NIT Andhra Pradesh, with fresh infrastructure and a growing research ecosystem, recorded an 88.75% overall placement rate in 2024 driven by IT-and-core recruiters. NIT Arunachal Pradesh’s multidisciplinary campus, featuring cutting-edge research centers, achieved a 73% placement rate in 2024 across all streams, with CSE/ECE close to 100% and core branches between 16% and 62%. At NIT Raipur, Biotechnology and Biochemical Engineering students benefited from established biotech labs and hospital-industry partnerships yet faced lower placement rates of 30–40% in 2024, contrasting with 80–90% in core streams like CSE and Electrical. All institutes maintain active placement cells, strong alumni networks, and government-and-NBA accreditations, offering scholarships and industry collaborations. Infrastructure ranges from flight-simulation and instrumentation labs at IIIT Bbsr to advanced clean rooms at SRM for biotech and digital fabrication centers at NIT AP, supporting both teaching and research.

Recommendation: For highest placement certainty and a balanced core-engineering curriculum, opt for IIT Kalyani CSE or NIT Andhra Pradesh. IIIT Bhubaneswar EEE suits those targeting power-electronics careers with solid industry ties. NIT Meghalaya and NIT Arunachal offer emerging campus experiences, while NIT Raipur’s biotech streams are best for research-focused aspirations. All the BEST for a Prosperous Future!
