The teachers and professors here are quite qualified and pretty knowledgeable, and they know what they are teaching. The course curriculum is not quite relevant, though, but it covers all the subjects of engineering nicely, with core subjects as well as the software side of subjects. The college exams are actually not that hard if you attend classes regularly and practice the questions that the professors give you.

which is best Mechanical engineering in nit nagpur or ece in NIT Raipur or CSE in iiitdm kancheepuram

IIITDM Kancheepuram – CSE


NIT Raipur – ECE


VNIT Nagpur – Mechanical


  • Go for IIITDM CSE if you're tech-oriented.
  • Choose NIT Raipur ECE if you're interested in electronics with strong placement.
  • Avoid VNIT Mech unless you're passionate about core mechanical.

which is better I have obc 23000 rank like I will most probably get mechanical in Nit raipur and ece Or dsai in IIIT Nayaraipur as CG home state. which one is better option? Are companies allowed people to sit in placement without tech field like mechanical in nit raipur?

When choosing between Mechanical Engineering at NIT Raipur and ECE (Electronics and Communication Engineering) or DSAI (Data Science and Artificial Intelligence) at IIIT Naya Raipur, it’s important to consider several factors, including your interests, career goals, and the long-term opportunities available in each field. Let’s break it down:

1. NIT Raipur – Mechanical Engineering :

  • Branch Overview : Mechanical Engineering is a traditional and well-established branch. It offers a solid foundation in core engineering principles, and you can work in various industries such as manufacturing, automotive, aerospace, and energy.

  • Placement Opportunities : NIT Raipur has good placement records for Mechanical Engineering, with many reputed companies recruiting for roles in design, manufacturing, production, and more. However, competition is stiff, and placements depend on the industry demand.

  • Long-Term Prospects : Mechanical Engineering offers long-term career stability, but the field may require advanced studies or specialized skills to stay competitive in a rapidly evolving job market.

2. IIIT Naya Raipur – ECE or DSAI :

  • Branch Overview : ECE and DSAI are emerging fields with a focus on modern technologies. DSAI, in particular, focuses on cutting-edge fields like machine learning, data science, AI, and big data, which have significant demand across industries.

  • Placement Opportunities : IIIT Naya Raipur has a strong focus on tech and research, and DSAI and ECE have a high placement rate in IT, data science, AI, and software development roles. The tech field has more rapidly growing job opportunities, and if you are inclined towards software and technology, DSAI might be a very good fit.

  • Long-Term Prospects : Both ECE and DSAI have excellent prospects due to the growing demand for technology professionals in industries like AI, software, and digital transformation.

3. Placements Without Tech Field Experience :

  • Mechanical Engineering at NIT Raipur : While NIT Raipur is known for its engineering strength, companies primarily look for candidates from relevant fields like mechanical design, manufacturing, etc. If you pursue a non-tech career, like in management or sales, you might still have opportunities, but they are usually less common.

  • Tech Fields (ECE/DSAI) : In tech-related fields, companies are more likely to hire students without prior technical experience if they possess a strong understanding of the subject and skills like programming, problem-solving, and relevant technical knowledge. For example, a DSAI graduate can get placement in software development or AI roles even without prior industry experience, as long as they have strong technical foundations.

Conclusion :

  • If you are passionate about working in traditional engineering sectors (like automotive or manufacturing), Mechanical Engineering at NIT Raipur could be the better choice.

  • If you are inclined toward modern technology and want to explore fields like Data Science, Artificial Intelligence, or Electronics , then DSAI or ECE at IIIT Naya Raipur might offer better opportunities, especially in tech-driven sectors.

  • Placements : Companies do hire students from non-tech fields, but tech branches like ECE and DSAI will give you a clear edge when it comes to job roles in IT, AI, and software.

Final Recommendation : If you're interested in core mechanical industries, NIT Raipur is a good choice, but if you want to dive into emerging technologies, DSAI or ECE at IIIT Naya Raipur could be a better fit.

Good luck with your decision-making!
