IIITDM Kancheepuram Mechanical is better in comparison. The department has four branches under the norms of Design and Manufacturing. The academics are practical-oriented. IIITDM follows an updated curriculum that is different from the traditional course structure of most engineering colleges. The Mechanical faculties are great. Most of them have PhDs qualifications from reputed IITs and NITs.
IIITDM Kancheepuram placements are good for Mechanical. Students of the branch get recruited as Project leads, Supervisors, Design Operators, etc. The average CTC for the branch is around INR 7 LPA.
The placement at NIT Jamshedpur is improving year by year in all the branches. The placements of the ECE branch are very good. The institute has already achieved 81% overall placement in the year 2021. 80 companies have already participated in the placements and 50 more companies are expected to participate by the end of July.

What your preference is and what interests you, these two are very important at making the right choice.
If any of the two branches is of your preference and interest, then you should go for it.
If you have no such preferences and interests and you are only looking at the job prospects after graduating, then I would suggest you consider the following things:
All these are relevant factors to keep in mind before making a choice. Now, the choice is yours.
The ECE branch at IIIT Ranchi is not that good. IIIT Ranchi is also being shifted to a temporary campus in Ranchi very soon. In the new temporary campus, the distance between the hostel and the academic block will be 10-15 km.
It is very unlikely that IIIT Ranchi will have a permanent campus any time soon. So, it will be better if you don’t go for IIIT Ranchi.
ECE has more job opportunities than Mechanical Engineering. After completing Mechanical Engineering, you will get jobs in PSUs, in government organizations.
In the following table, you will get basic information about Mechanical at NIT Calicut and ECE at NIT Jamshedpur.

Therefore, both Mechanical at NIT Calicut and ECE at NIT Jamshedpur are good options. It all depends on which field you want to make your career. ECE will be the right choice if you want to be a part of the corporate sector after completing B.Tech or M.Tech.
In my opinion, NIT Kurukshetra is better than NIT Jalandhar. Some strong points that support my opinion are:
The new director at NIT Kurukshetra has brought about a spike in the rankings of the institute. Reputed firms visit the campus for placements.
Before the reign of the new director, ECE from NIT Kurukshetra was considered a difficult task. But now things have changed for the better. You can pass your exams by studying hard and scoring well. The results are no more unpredictable.
The infrastructure is top notch and the labs are well-equipped with costly software. If you are motivated enough you can develop good skills here.
A major shortcoming of this NIT is its faculty. Some professors are really good while some even lack the basics. You might get frustrated but remember you need to keep yourself motivated to succeed.
One of my friends is a local of Jharkhand. He was eligible to get into all departments and ECE at NIT Jamshedpur except CSE, and he got into the same situation where he had to choose between IT at IIEST Shibpur and ECE at NIT Jamshedpur.
He chose IT at IIEST Shibpur and was satisfied with his decision. IIEST has a good campus which is given the INI tag, their seniors are also very good who motivate their juniors.
In the following table, you will get information on IT at IIEST Shibpur and ECE at NIT Jamshedpur.

Completed with a good campus, great seniors, and recently been given the INI tag, it has the energy and enthusiasm to excel and the Director of IIEST is a great person. He works hard to improve the place.
Many of my friends study at NIT Jamshedpur. It has a good infrastructure but not in better condition. Newly constructed hostels at NIT are also good. But officials of NIT are not promising.
Therefore, IIEST Shibpur is a better choice as it will give you many opportunities and give you a better experience.
Among both these institutes it will be better if you go for ECE at Heritage Institute of Technology (HIT) than CE at Mizoram University (MZU).
Categories | ECE at Heritage Institute of Technology | CE at Mizoram University |
Course Fee | INR 4.04 LPA | INR 6.85 lakh |
Placement Percentage | 70-80% | 50-60% |
Highest CTC | 28 LPA | 10 LPA |
Average CTC | 8-10 LPA | 3-5 LPA |
Recruiting Companies | TCS, Accenture, Cognizant, HCL, etc. | TCS, Tech Mahindra, Wipro, Infosys, etc. |
Therefore, as HIT provides such better opportunities for students it is recommended that you go for it rather than choosing MZU.
