Hello,

Comparing both the Institutes there's no doubt that IIEST has an upper hand compared to NIT Raipur.

In NIT Raipur around 60-80 students get placed in ECE department. The average Salary being around 6 lacs. The Major recruiting companies are basically software companies. Very few core companies visit the campus.

In IIEST Shibpur IT department was the Highest recruited department in 2019. The percentage of students getting placed is around 88% in IT department. The average salary package is around 5 lakhs.

NIT does have brand value but IIEST is no less. It has a NIRF ranking better than that of NIT Raipur and the placement chances of IT department is better than that of ECE. Also you should choose the department which you have the most interest in. If you're interested in ECE then go for NIT and if you're interested in IT then go for IIEST. Both the institutes are really nice and guarantee a decent chance during placements.
