BE Electrical and Electronics Engineering & Advanced Control Systems, Jadavpur University

Jadavpur University is better than NIT Durgapur. In spite of being an NIT, NIT D fails to offer many basic facilities. The undergraduate laboratories are not well-maintained. The campus doesn’t have an active research interface for undergraduate degrees.

Jadavpur University students receive way better learning resources and guidance for higher studies. Located at the heart of Kolkata, there is better availability of coaching for competitive examinations. It offers better placements as well. More than 100 recruiting companies took part in Jadavpur University placements of 2022. The highest CTC offered this year was INR 1.8 CPA. Industry giants such as Apple, Facebook, Google, Amazon, etc. took part in the placement drive.

BTech in ECE from National Institute of Technology Durgapur (2015)

NIT Durgapur and Jadavpur University are institutes based in West Bengal. According to the reviews I got online, they both are equally good institutions. But NIT Durgapur is preferred among them by the students.

The following are the reasons as to why:

NIT Durgapur is ranked 29th in the NIRF Ranking for Engineering 2021 and 71st in the NIRF Ranking in Overall 2021.
It is an institute of national importance. It was one of the first eight RECs established by the Indian government.
The alumni base of the institute is strong. You may find at least one alumnus in every top company around the world.
The institute has a well-established infrastructure, including hostels, guest houses, a game and sports complex, a bank, a canteen, a workshop, and more. It is subject to upgrade.
Durgapur is a small green and clean city.

The placement details are below.

Average CTC	INR 8.5 LPA
Highest CTC	INR 44 LPA
Top Recruiters	VISA Steel, BYJU’s, Reliance Retail, Vedantu, JSW, LTI, Genpact, Capgemini, Lewis Berger, and more.

Several companies only hire students from National Institutes such as IITs, NITs, and IIITs. So, NIT Durgapur students will have an edge.

CERN in Switzerland, NUS in Singapore, MIT in the USA, and other renowned universities have signed research MOUs with NIT Durgapur. The institute sends students in their third year of BTech to such foreign universities for an internship.

As the filtered students clearing JEE Main cut-offs join the institute, there is diversity on campus. In conclusion, NIT Durgapur has more perks in the long-term perspective.
