One of my friends pursued his undergraduate studies at NIT Calicut. I will try to give an insight into the EEE department at NIT Calicut based on the things I heard from my friend. 

Student Crowd:

NIT Calicut has an approximate 50% home state selection policy. So, almost half of the student base is from Kerala. Other than that, there is a major portion of the other half from Telegu states and some from Northern India. So, very few students are from other South Indian and East Indian states.

Faculty:

• Most professors are extremely strict in class, attendance, and evaluation. 
• Most professors of EEE have good teaching capabilities and conceptual knowledge. There is information about faculties and their experiences on the college website.

Laboratories:

The labs in the electrical engineering department are quite decent, and up to the required standard, with some faulty machines too.

Overall, the EEE department at NIT Calicut can be considered a branch with enough resources and strict discipline.

If the arrangement for the fee which is charged by MIT would not be a problem for you then It is suggested that you opt for admission in Electronics and Instrumentation Engineering at MIT Manipal. Having some friends studying there I can say that there are many things that make MIT Manipal stand out.

Some of the good things about MIT Manipal which makes it a better option include the following:

• The rank of MIT in the NIRF rankings is much higher than that of NIT Goa.
• MIT Manipal offers better campus facilities and opportunities as NIT Goa is a relatively newer college.
• Some of the well-known firms from the domain of electronics and other core branches recruit students of MIT Manipal.
• Even if they are not in large numbers, they are more than other institutions where just one or two key companies from the electronics field visit to recruit candidates.
• I am not familiar with the faculty of EEE at NIT Goa, but at MIT the EI department faculty is excellent.

Summer internships are available at companies like Western Digital and Reliance for students in their fifth or sixth semester. If you get an internship through campus recruitment, you may be able to convert it to PPO if you do well during the tenure of your internship.

My friends had studied at NIT Trichy in CSE and EEE. The placements for both of these branches are top-notch.

Here are the placement statistics of NIT Trichy for the year 2020.

In the EEE branch, the highest CTC offered is around 32 LPA while the average CTC is about 8 LPA. Some of the top recruiters include Volvo, Wipro, Yahoo, HDFC Bank, HP, HNG, HCL, Godrej, Ford, etc.

One of my friends completed her EEE from NIT Trichy. Here is her insight regarding the department and the college. 

• College life: It is more or less similar, regardless of the department. In EEE they used to have classes or labs all day long. The schedule for other branches is not that hectic. In clubs and festival events, they obtain an edge over you since their free time is more. But if you are interested in something you can make time for it. 
• Professors: EEE has, arguably, more professors than any other department. Most of the faculty are friendly and cooperative. However, don't rely too much on them for lessons. You will have to cover most of your academics by self-study.
• Peers: The peer group for EEE at NIT Trichy is great. From your classmates, you'll learn things that you won’t from your teachers. 
• Placement: NIT Trichy boasts of a great placement record and EEE is one of the departments with nearly 100% placements. According to the recent placement highlights, the average CTC offered was 6 LPA. Many students also go for MS, MBA, and M.Tech, both in the nation and outside. 

If you have a good CGPA throughout all the semesters, you don't have to worry because hundreds of firms visit the school each year. Not only that, but in your pre-final year, certain firms may give you internships which will lead you to a pre-selection offer.

Living on the Campus is a great experience. You will feel like you are in a home away from home. When you graduate, it will certainly make you sad. So, try to make the most out of your stay at the institute. 

Electrical and Electronics Engineering (EEE) and Electronics and Communication Engineering (ECE) are two different branches of engineering. As some of my friends had these courses, I can share some details about them, later analyzing which you can make a decision. 

• EEE is concerned with electrical engineering, which encompasses circuits, transformers, electrostatics, magnetics, and other related topics.
• ECE is concerned with the electrical and communication aspects of the subject. Communication is learning a programming language, VLSI, and coding. After CSE, it is the most popular branch among students.
• As a matter of interest, both the ECE and EEE branches are fascinating and demanding. 
• Hence, one should choose either of the two based on his or her own personal interests.
• If you don't have a particular interest and want to choose based on placement opportunities, then ECE is recommended. 
• It has a scope that is even greater than CSE. 

Because CSE is currently at its pinnacle and will almost certainly reach saturation in the next 4 to 5 years. So, at this time, it would be wiser to choose ECE. regardless of the college, whether it is NIT Trichy, NIT Warangal, or any other NITs or IITs in India.

Considering different factors like placements, activities, infrastructure, Electrical and Electronics Engineering at NIT Surathkal will be a better option. The table below gives a brief level of comparison among ECE at RVCE and EE at NIT Surathkal.

Key Highlights - NIT Surathkal: 

• NIT Surathkal, being one of the top NITs, is a premier institute in India. In NITs, infrastructure and placements are always top-notch and even compared to IITs sometimes.
• The placement in Electrical and Electronics Engineering at NIT Surathkal is excellent. There are many core companies, IT-based companies, and even some PSUs coming for placement.
• The campus of NIT Surathkal has a serene environment, close to the shore, which is worth living for four years.
• In NITs, there is a lot of involvement in extracurricular activities and several technical and cultural events are organized inside the campus.

Considering the above points, it is evident that EE at NIT Surathkal is the better choice.
