Hi,

IIEST is a reputed institute so do NIT Rourkela is. According to Data available , Nearly 80-90% students gets placed during placement times with average placement Ranging around 5-6 Lakhs. NIT Rourkela do have similar Placement record. But if you look Career Oppurtunities in India, ECT has better placements Oppurtunities than Chemical Engineering. The Average package of ECT is more than Chemical generally.

So, according to me IIEST shibpur would be good choice .

Thanks!!!!

Hi,

If you are getting in EE in DTU then you should go for it. DTU is better Institute than Newly established NITs. Also EE has better career opportunities than Chemical. DTU has good reputation and it will surely help you in placement times. You can also do research work there if you like. Even if you opt for higher studies, being from DTU would certainly help you .

I hope this will answer your query.

Thanks!!!!

Hey,
Below i have mentioned the rank of NITs you have asked about according to the NIRF ranking.
MNIT JAIPUR 35
NIT WARANGAL 19
NIT ROURKELA 16
These rankings are given by Government of India after taking into consideration numerous factors such as
  • Training
  • Teaching
  • Research
  • Placements and exposure
  • Infrastructure and so on. So, you can rely on these ranks.

Now coming on the branches, it should be your choice. Choosing a branch is like choosing rest of your life. It is the decision that you will have to carry throughout your life. So i will suggest you too choose the branch first no matter what is the rank of the college you are getting your desired branch in. I cannot decide the branch on your behalf as i dont know which branch excites you and what will be better for you. So take your time, and then decide.
Hope that helps.

You need to have passion to have a culture. You can't have a passion about the things you don't know. The situation I went through at NIT is okay, lot better than many instututes, infact a thousand of India ( excluding IIITs, few IITs, and 2-3 NITs). But that is not satisfactory as we all know. The day people/teachers understand freshman year is not only to learn C and C++, and C,C++ is not everything coding, things will be way better. This can only be done by some persons who can inspire students by great speech on the first month of their arrival to college. What I understand, as a fresher when we join college, we are not smart enough to decide what to do, and we flow with the motion of academics. Thanks to many clubs of NIT, Rourkela people get exposed to many cultural and technical things. Similarly there are few clubs which tried to help with coding, but failed due to lack of inspiration they can provide. I am not smart enough to solve this problem, but this is the core problem I think.
