Hello Sir My son is confused between three option First is MSRIT mechanical engineering second Dayanand sagar college of engineering Electronic engineering and lastly BIT mesra civil engineering. He is passionate about civil engineering but also not fully convinced due to bad placement of the particular branch. Please guide us sir

Ans: MSRIT’s Mechanical Engineering department is renowned for its robust curriculum, 90–95% placement consistency, and a faculty with extensive research credentials and over 40% holding doctorates. The institute offers modern labs, strong industry collaborations, and a vibrant alumni network, ensuring well-rounded technical and professional growth for students. Dayananda Sagar College of Engineering’s Electronics Engineering program is NBA-accredited, with modern infrastructure, research-oriented faculty, and a placement rate of about 70–75% for electronics-related branches; the college’s electronics graduates benefit from Bangalore’s tech ecosystem and active industry tie-ups. BIT Mesra’s Civil Engineering programme is NAAC-accredited with state-of-the-art labs, comprehensive exposure to modern tools, and a placement rate of 60–65% over the past three years, with many students opting for higher studies or government roles. While civil engineering placements are comparatively lower, the branch offers strong research orientation and prepares graduates for diverse opportunities in infrastructure and public sector domains.

Recommendation: If passion for civil engineering is paramount, BIT Mesra offers a solid academic foundation and research focus, but placement rates are modest. For a blend of strong placements and technical exposure, MSRIT Mechanical is the preferred choice; Dayananda Sagar Electronics is suitable for those seeking industry-driven roles in Bangalore’s technology sector. All the BEST for Admission & a Prosperous Future!

Sir my son is getting civil engineering in NIT Durgapur ECE in bhagalpur IIIT mechanical engineering in NIT Agartala which is best for him
Ans: Among the three options, NIT Durgapur Civil Engineering offers a reputable academic environment but has a lower placement rate (59.42% in 2024) and an average package of ?7.39 LPA, making it less attractive for immediate core placements compared to other branches. IIIT Bhagalpur ECE provides a modern curriculum with focus on AI and data science, and decent placements in IT and analytics, but the placement percentage is about 61%, and the campus is still developing, with limited infrastructure and mixed student reviews. NIT Agartala Mechanical Engineering stands out with a 99% placement rate for its 2023 batch and a robust average package, supported by a strong industry network and research output, ranking 132nd in India for engineering. NIT Agartala’s mechanical branch also benefits from a high number of recruiters and nearly all eligible students placed, offering better core and interdisciplinary opportunities than the other two options. While NIT Durgapur and IIIT Bhagalpur have their strengths, NIT Agartala Mechanical provides the most consistent placement outcomes and campus stability.

Recommendation: NIT Agartala Mechanical Engineering is the best choice for your son among the three, offering the highest placement rate, strong industry connections, and a stable academic environment. This branch will provide a solid foundation for both core engineering careers and interdisciplinary opportunities in the future. All the BEST for the Admission & a Prosperous Future!
