Hello,

Both the colleges stand good on the the factors below:

  • Overall ranking
  • Infrastructure
  • Location/accessibility
  • Branch that you are been offered(Core/interdisciplinary)
  • Placement opportunities
  • Industry Exposure

The branches you are getting are also good core branches wide wide career options, will provide a brief overview about both.

Civil Engineering is more concerned with structures, construction management, resource conservation and material studies.

Mechanical engineering on the other hand comprises all sorts of machinery, automations, materials and heat and mass transfer.

I would also like to add here that an engineering course should be very much taken with an interest in the field so I would suggest you to consider that factor and if you are not aware of the branches mentioned look them up on the internet more reliable will be to go through the syllabus on the respective colleges' website. An interest in the field is the key factor in deciding how your 4 years of college will be and what opportunities you will land for yourself.

Good luck, hope it helps!!

Go for Electrical at NIT Surathkal. The Academic and Employer Outlook of NIT Karnataka, Trichy and Warangal are a notch ahead of NIT Calicut, Allahabad, Rourkela and other good NITs. Secondly Electrical is a nice branch, with excellent career scope and prospects across PSUs, Private Sector, Research and Opportunities.

Dear Student,

According to me, you should go for NIT Calicut as it has better ratings, placements and it is outstanding college as well. Also, between ECE and EEE, both are almost similiar branches. I would suggest you to choose institute first as branches are almost same. Moreover, follow your area of interest too.

Thank You.

Please dont trust NITs when it comes to Department Change. The Probability of Getting your Department Changed at any NIT is quite low when compared to IITs. Secondly, in this Pandemic Situation, there is a higher uncertainity. Incase youre interested in CSE and Software, pursue CSE from NIT Calicut. Its one of the best NITs having 100% Placements for CSE. Most of the Top Software Companies, are very selective when they visit NITs and dont generally open below CSE and IT (By Top Software Companies, I refer to US Corporations, International Placements, Top Companies which visit Select IITs and NITs, 25 LPA+ Packages).

Incase you have no general interest, ECE at NIT Warangal is a good choice. ECE is a really flexible branch and exposes you to a number of Technologies, hence Opportunities across Industry Verticals, besides being a Top 3 NIT.

Verified Review

College Infrastructure

One of the largest engineering colleges in Kerala build a long time back standing out in infrastructure and a large campus. Classrooms are big enough to accommodate the large population of students, especially the first year classrooms, seminar halls and auditoriums are the finest. Regular maintainance of living spaces keeps it clean and tidy. Food is good offering us to try a very vast variety of cuisines across India all in one place.
