One of my friends is currently pursuing his Electronics and Computer Engineering at Thapar Institute of engineering technology, Patiala. Here are some snippets of his experience on campus so far. 

• The institute has a 300-acre campus of lush green. So, surviving here won't be an issue.
• The institute organizes great workshops such as Hydraulics, Web Development, and Circuit Building, etc. He said after one and a half months, he realized that the institute offers lots of opportunities, and grabbing them is what you have to do.
• The hostels are well-maintained and the food is good enough.
• Hostels have good Wi-Fi speeds ranging from 1.2 - 3 Mbps sometimes.
• Professors are quite cooperative and they employ new techniques for teaching.
• There is a well-designed playing area. There is a badminton court, tennis court, synthetic track, etc. 
• Juju’s Cafe, Pizza Nation, are some of the popular hangout places on campus.
• The rules and regulations are strict when it comes to discipline. Students are not allowed to leave campus after 7 pm.

Hope this gives you an idea of what to expect at Thapar University.

If you've decided to enroll at UIT RGPV and are interested in learning more about ECE, yes, compared to all other branches, ECE is a good option. As some of my friends studied there, I might be able to share some facts about the college I got to know from them.

• The faculty only guides you with certain things. 
• Here you have to work hard to prepare yourself. You'll have to do everything on your own, which is ultimately done for your betterment.
• You will receive more theoretical knowledge than practical.
• Some of the faculty members might help you with the practicals, but otherwise, you have to take the initiative yourself.

If you are in ECE, there are chances that you will be placed in MNCs such as TCS, Infosys, and other IT companies, but there are very few chances that you will be placed in a core electronics company.

CSE at JIIT is clearly better than ECE at Thapar. You must have a minimum JEE rank of 51,000 to get CSE at JIIT Noida. 

There are no state quota, caste quota, or NRI quota at JIIT but Thapar offers a 50% quota for Punjab state students. This results in a superior quality of students at JIIT Noida than Thapar. Due to quotas and an increase in the number of seats, anyone can get admission at Thapar University.

If a student has a 300,000 rank in JEE Main, he will not be able to gain a seat anywhere, but if he is from Punjab, he may be able to secure a place in Electrical Engineering in Thapar. This explains how Thapar's situation has deteriorated.

JIIT will offer you great exposure which is actually required in CSE with regular industrial visits. CSE has more scope in terms of placements than ECE. 

Both the branches, be it ECE or IT are similar in LNCT. The branch to be taken should not anyhow depend on the college rather it should depend on your interest. 

• Try choosing the college based on your interests.
• Evaluate the academics, placements, facilities offered, etc. before finalizing your answer.
• LNCT has a good reputation, with proper well maintained infrastructure.
• They offer the students with all the necessary facilities and modern equipment.
• IT at LNCT is really good, it has much better reviews than ECE.

It is suggested that you go for IT at LNCT, as it has more placement on campus and opportunities for IT students.

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.

According to one of my seniors, if the parameters of placement and college life are considered then the ranking would be as follows: -

Dayanand Sagar College> B.I.T> BMSIT and RNSIT

My senior is a student of B.I.T and he has also been to Dayanand Sagar College a couple of times for some cultural events. 

• According to him Dayanand Sagar College has a much better campus among the others mentioned above. 
• It is an autonomous college so it has its own perks. 
• Located in Bangalore it gets the advantage of being nearby corporate houses and IT firms. 
• It will be easier to conduct frequent industry visits, seminars, and internship opportunities.
• The places nearby have hostels and PGs available for both boys and girls. There are also numerous flats available.

B.I.T is located in V.V Puram and lacks all these facilities. In terms of placement Dayanand Sagar College is at a par with B.I.T however RNSIT and BMSIT both lag behind these institutes in terms of campus life and placement stats, records.
