Sir kindly give me insights about BIT MESRA EEE. I have got this in CSAB mock allotment. I may get ECE in IIITs like Kalyani.. should I consider EEE as it is a hard & rigorous course

Ans: Mayank, Birla Institute of Technology, Mesra’s Electrical and Electronics Engineering department is staffed by PhD-qualified faculty working on power systems, electronics, and control, supported by laboratories for electrical machines, power electronics, and drive systems, and records a 69% placement rate with an average package of ?11.5 LPA. Its Electronics and Communication Engineering arm offers VLSI and signal processing labs, with a 60% placement rate and an average package of ?16 LPA. Tier-III NITs such as NIT Jamshedpur boast 100% ECE placements, NBA accreditation, long-standing alumni networks, and consistently >90% placement rates across core branches. IIITs at Kalyani, Ranchi, and Bhagalpur follow a public-private model with research-active faculty, modern computing and AI labs, and centralized placement cells, achieving CSE placement rates of 89.3%, 72.1%, and 98.6%, respectively. Robust CSE roles are available across these institutes through industry-aligned curricula, mandatory internships, and active T&P cells.

Considering your interest in CSE and the higher placement consistency of Tier-III NIT ECE (100% at Jamshedpur) and IIIT Bhagalpur CSE (98.6% placements), recommendation is to pursue ECE at NIT Jamshedpur or CSE at IIIT Bhagalpur over BIT Mesra EEE, ensuring stronger core?engineering roles and industry integration.

Ans: Hello dear
If you prefer core branch stability and BIT’s brand, freezing EEE at BIT Mesra may be the right choice; however, if you want a broader tech/placement scope, floating for ECE at IIITs (such as Bhagalpur/Kalyani) can be worth considering. The final decision will be yours. (Every tech course is tough!)

Good luck.y
