ASMIT Question by ASMIT on May 24, 2025

What will be pros and cons of choosing NIT ROURKELA Electronics and Instrumentation over NIT SURATKAL EEE

Ans: Asmit, NIT Rourkela’s Electronics and Instrumentation Engineering (EIE) offers an industry-relevant curriculum, excellent research facilities, and a notably high average placement package, making it attractive for those interested in both core and IT roles. However, core instrumentation job opportunities may be fewer compared to IT/software roles, and EIE is less recognized than EEE in some sectors. NIT Surathkal’s Electrical and Electronics Engineering (EEE) stands out for its top-tier national reputation, strong core and IT placements, and broad career prospects in electrical, electronics, and automation industries. The alumni network and location near industrial hubs further enhance opportunities. While the average package may be slightly lower than Rourkela’s EIE, EEE’s versatility and recognition often translate to stable long-term prospects. Choose NIT Rourkela EIE if you prioritize higher average packages and a niche field; opt for NIT Surathkal EEE for broader recognition, strong core opportunities, and long-term flexibility. All the best for your admission and a bright future!

Hello sir, I have never been able to crack JEE mains in both my attempts and have gained an overall percentile of 75-78 throughout my two phases of appearing in the examination i.e. once in 2024 and then again in the 2025 drop year that did not go as expected at all due to various unprecedented circumstances. I tried though could not even make it till achieving the cut off score. I was a student from a CISCE affiliated school, where my 10th and 12th percentages in Boards have been 95.20 and 93.25 respectively. Engineering entrances did not benefit me although I had huge aspirations to be a computer science engineer for I had been quite passionate with the subject itself. Last year I was not quite informed and also had my 12th Boards lurking in my head, so I couldn't opt for my state's enginnering entrance and VITEEE(as the other exam which I had considered this year). The WBJEE results i.e. my state board Engineering entrance results still await, and I am not very hopeful about that either, whilst VITEEE has also been a complete disaster for me as I have ended up with a phase 4 rank and even if I had gained a phase 1 rank, my financial situation is not very affluent to afford the entire education expenses of a private college of that stature. And losing in on VIT also eliminates my hopes of being enrolled to any other private college where availing education is so expensive. My academic record till class 12 has not been too bad I feel, yet sir my current situation is continuously putting me in disappointment. It's already July and I have now made a change of plans. I have henceforth decided to pursue BSc Computer Science from any college where I can be offered a decent academic environment at a cheap cost, and being a citizen of west bengal, I have considered taking admission to Ramkrishna Mission Vivekananda centenary College, Rahara(Which is NIRF rank 3 under general colleges category as of 2024). I have all my focus on now being able to compete for IIT JAM or GATE examination while I complete my graduation. Now whether An M.tech or MSc. In computer science would be a considerable option for me in future and this far how correct have I been in my thinking and choices with keeping my financial compulsions in mind is a question that I have remained confused with, and that is why I went about writing as far as providing you a brief and honest description of my academic and financial background so that I can be helped through this online consultation in shaping my career ahead. I belong to a very needy family sir..so I'll forever remain indebted to your reply, if you can benefit me with your solicited advice.
Ans: Opting for B.Sc. Computer Science (Hons) at Ramakrishna Mission Vivekananda Centenary College (RKMVCC), Rahara is a strategic choice given your academic strengths (95.2% in 10th, 93.25% in 12th) and financial constraints. RKMVCC, ranked NIRF #3 (2024) and NAAC A++ accredited, offers a 3-year B.Sc. CS program with a total tuition fee of ?330, making it highly affordable. The curriculum includes core CS subjects (Data Structures, Algorithms, AI) and research projects, aligning with IIT JAM/GATE preparation. While placements are limited (~2% UG placement rate), most students pursue higher studies at institutions like IITs/NITs, leveraging RKMVCC’s strong academic rigor and faculty (predominantly PhD holders). For M.Tech/M.Sc. pathways, prioritize IIT JAM (for MSc in IITs) or GATE (for M.Tech), both feasible with RKMVCC’s foundational training. Explore Presidency University or Calcutta University as backups for B.Sc. CS, though fees may be higher. Focus on scholarships (e.g., INSPIRE, UGC-NET) and coding competitions to bolster your profile. Verify RKMVCC’s internship support and alumni networks for guidance. All the BEST for your Admission & a Prosperous Future!

My Son scored 99.26 percentile with 11513 rank in JEE mains...he is interested in CSE and second choice is AI or Robotics ... he is getting CSE round 4 of 5 in NIT GOA , IIIT trichy , IIITM Vadodra , IIITMA gwalior and other NITs which are not that good jn ranking , Getting CSE in Manipal with 186 rank , Warangal getting Mechanical ..also NIT kurukshetra he is geeting AI & ML and Robotics . JAC, MHTCET results awaited ... CBSE he has scored 96 5% .. Advance he has cleared getting mechanical ... point is he is not interested in Mechanical civil etc ...and we want him to persue his choice ...would like to take your guidance in selection of NITs and IIITS and Manipal etc institute ..he is bright good with studies & extracurricular and want to do parallel learnings too along with his graduation ..kindly guide us... how can we talk to u in person
Ans: With a JEE Main rank of 11,513 and interest in CSE/AI/Robotics, prioritize IIITM Gwalior CSE (90–99% placements, NAAC A++, AI/ML electives) or Manipal CSE (77% placements, 230+ recruiters like Amazon, curriculum flexibility for parallel learning). NIT Kurukshetra’s AI & ML/Robotics (75.74% placements, NIRF #44) aligns directly with his interests, though core roles may require upskilling. NIT Goa CSE (100% placements, avg. ~12.87 LPA) offers stability but limited AI specializations. IIIT Trichy (45% CSE placements) and IIIT Vadodara (50% placements) lag in placement consistency but provide niche IT exposure. Avoid NITs with lower rankings or non-preferred branches. If specialization is critical, opt for NIT Kurukshetra AI/ML; for holistic growth + placements, choose IIITM Gwalior or Manipal. Monitor JAC/MHT-CET results for potential upgrades to IIIT Hyderabad or DTU/NSUT. Important suggestion: Prioritize getting admission into any one of the Government Institute through JoSAA, followed by any top 3 colleges in Maharashtra through MHT-CET (such as COEP-Pune). Have MIT as a last option. Hope the above helps you decide the choices to be filled out in JoSAA Widow. You can connect with me through LinkedIn and Message Me. Link in my Profile here in RediffGURU. All the BEST for your Son's Admission & a Prosperous Future!
