Well the general trend is that people from south kinda prefer ECE over CSE while its just the reverse in North....and communication field is booming just like anything...it has got immense research areas and opportunities...as far as distinguishing Mech and EEE....Mech will involve applications of core physics and calculus...where as electrical willinvolve more loop laws ,circuit theories ,Vectors and Complex numbers

May be the ones you met were the interested in ECE...but ECE @Trichy is infact the best among NITs...its the only one doing research work on VLSI and even providing Stipends plus BV and Raghavan arehighly experienced ...although ECE remains a tough nut to crack its excellent in my opinion... again if civil is taken into account overseas placement doent really matter...Faculty of Civil is infact the best with accounting over 5 highly experienced professors...but the student quality isnt that great..

Thanks Prashant, cyclone, Nipun, Rishi and Chetan.. I really was astonished to see so many replies after I came online.. The good thing is that some were really great and some came from Trichians..

 

'faculties suck' - following is what I had heard in one other very trusted place.. Actually getting CS faculty is very difficulty, that is why ece closes far before in NITs as opposed to IITs.. This answer came directly from Prof, so I had some bad feelings about it..

I had filled my choice list as

 

  1. NIT warangal CS
  2. NIT Trichy CS
  3. NIT Surathcal CS

 

currently I will get IIIT Allahabad in first round while in later rounds, I will get all of the three as per my calculations.. I am not so sure about the first two, but atleast I would get one of them:) Lets see where I end up..

 

@rishi : "..the people most concerned about the departments and curriculum will be the ones neglecting it the most".. Dude I am not that padhaku types, but I lay much stress of faculty because I did not have good cs faculty in high school and blah blah..

 

@Prashant: Dude what's your mail id? just in case I need to talk to you later (you can mail me at ashu731  [at] yahoo.co.in

@ ashutosh - iread that article and completely agrees with it... These cases u may find even after doing MS after doing ur 4 years B-Tech... there is nothing new in this, because MS is mainly research based that's y it's difficult getting MS as it requires very good CGPA....If u have decided for IIITA then that too is a good option....

IIIT-Allahabad is much better than NIT Trichy. IT is the combination of EC & cs , & is much better than CS. Further Recession has gone, after four years there will be no sign of recession.

@ Prashanth - coll value can't be determined by the ranks at which students are taking admissions.... but u r right NIT Trichy is better in terms of its existence and brand value.. even IIITA is good for branch like IT or ECE@ Ashutosh - who told u IT is a combination CS and ECE ??I am in ICT branch that deals with all the three things IT, Elec, Communication.... so tell me is IT combination of all these two, I know u r working hard to find info but still be logical.... and my friend recession was not a one time terror, this may come in future as well, it is always a sine wave, so buddy IT is a risky one but safe if it is an integrated one like ECE or ICT...

DONT GO BY OPENING AND CLOSING RANKS. even if u dont go by opening and closing ranks NIT TRICHY AND WARANGAL were good even when they were REC.  now it has become even better after becomin a NIT and its rate of developement is gone fast track. so without doubt NIT W AND T better than IIIT A

its no point to compair iiit allahbad with top 5- 6 NITS at all the avg salary in all these nits in cse and ece branch is close to or above 6lacs and overall too some top nits are brand and iiit allahbad is not at all a brand.

 

so just becasue the college name includes information technoogy dont make it a very very good college

and it can be considered a good college and cheta its anand gupta who think that IT is combinaton of ec and cs my god wat can we say to these people

 @Chetan: glad that you came back and read that article.. But U have got me all wrong, I am not finalizing IIIT Allahabad.. I just told that I am getting it in the first round counseling as per the indicative seat.. Actually IIIT A is at choice number 9.. I will surely get something better in the next round probably NIT Surathkal in 2nd round.. and in 3rd round I may make to NIT W and NIT T.. Probably the counseling process was different at your times..

 

Also it was not me who said that IT is a combination of whatever.. I am trying to be logical, that why I am giving the reasons for my thinking.. In the first page I asked about NIT Surathkal and IIIT A? Just because I felt that IIIT A is specialised in IT and it 's new, so it might have better facilities and faculties.. Then after someone explained, I dropped that, see my question.. I did not compare NIT T with IIIT A.

 

@Prashant: Thanks for cycling back dude, your answers have been bang on target.. I will mail you later if I get any doubts.. 

 

@cyclone: dude, yeps ..
