Dear Student ,

Electrical or Electronics and Instrumentation Engineering , both are equally good with the view of course content and teaching methodology ,  but if you ask related to placements , then I can prefer to go with Electrical rather than Electronics and Instrumentation as in most of the PSU jobs or core jobs(Ex: NTPC, GAIL, Railways etc)  , recruiters want EE or ECE branches more than EIE , No doubt that EIE also very challenging and conceptual subject. It will give you the knowledge of measuring instruments and other principals .. but due to the current demand in the job market scenario, you should prefer Electrical than EIE branch.

Hope this helps !

Best wishes !!

Hello aspirant,

According to my knowledge.....both colleges are good for these branches

Computer science will benefit you only if you are interested in it

Computer science and engineering at NIT is good choice for you because of the following points....

Job (Immediately after BTech) : Those who are really good at problem solving and competitive get placed in the top product based companies like google, Microsoft with salaries as mentioned above.

Those who are good at certain technologies and coding get placed in companies like JPMC, Wipro where they use those technologies to accomplish requirements of the company.

Average Starting Salary : 6–12 lpa (Depends on company)

Those who have good communication skills, decent skills in math logic and not expert in coding get placed in companies like TCS, Infosys where they work on certain tools used in projects.

Average Starting Salary : 3–6 lpa

Dear aspirant,

With a percentile of 96 it's very difficult to get electrical branch or any branch at nit Rourkela being from other state.

A minimum of 97+ percentile is required to grab a seat in nit Rourkela from other state. Although various factors are considered while deciding the cut offs like number of candidates appearing in the examination, number of vacant seats in college, previous years cut offs and difficulty level of the paper.
