When choosing between Mechanical Engineering at NIT Raipur and ECE (Electronics and Communication Engineering) or DSAI (Data Science and Artificial Intelligence) at IIIT Naya Raipur, it’s important to consider several factors, including your interests, career goals, and the long-term opportunities available in each field. Let’s break it down:

1. NIT Raipur – Mechanical Engineering :

• Branch Overview : Mechanical Engineering is a traditional and well-established branch. It offers a solid foundation in core engineering principles, and you can work in various industries such as manufacturing, automotive, aerospace, and energy.

• Placement Opportunities : NIT Raipur has good placement records for Mechanical Engineering, with many reputed companies recruiting for roles in design, manufacturing, production, and more. However, competition is stiff, and placements depend on the industry demand.

• Long-Term Prospects : Mechanical Engineering offers long-term career stability, but the field may require advanced studies or specialized skills to stay competitive in a rapidly evolving job market.

2. IIIT Naya Raipur – ECE or DSAI :

• Branch Overview : ECE and DSAI are emerging fields with a focus on modern technologies. DSAI, in particular, focuses on cutting-edge fields like machine learning, data science, AI, and big data, which have significant demand across industries.

• Placement Opportunities : IIIT Naya Raipur has a strong focus on tech and research, and DSAI and ECE have a high placement rate in IT, data science, AI, and software development roles. The tech field has more rapidly growing job opportunities, and if you are inclined towards software and technology, DSAI might be a very good fit.

• Long-Term Prospects : Both ECE and DSAI have excellent prospects due to the growing demand for technology professionals in industries like AI, software, and digital transformation.

3. Placements Without Tech Field Experience :

• Mechanical Engineering at NIT Raipur : While NIT Raipur is known for its engineering strength, companies primarily look for candidates from relevant fields like mechanical design, manufacturing, etc. If you pursue a non-tech career, like in management or sales, you might still have opportunities, but they are usually less common.

• Tech Fields (ECE/DSAI) : In tech-related fields, companies are more likely to hire students without prior technical experience if they possess a strong understanding of the subject and skills like programming, problem-solving, and relevant technical knowledge. For example, a DSAI graduate can get placement in software development or AI roles even without prior industry experience, as long as they have strong technical foundations.

Conclusion :

• If you are passionate about working in traditional engineering sectors (like automotive or manufacturing), Mechanical Engineering at NIT Raipur could be the better choice.

• If you are inclined toward modern technology and want to explore fields like Data Science, Artificial Intelligence, or Electronics , then DSAI or ECE at IIIT Naya Raipur might offer better opportunities, especially in tech-driven sectors.

• Placements : Companies do hire students from non-tech fields, but tech branches like ECE and DSAI will give you a clear edge when it comes to job roles in IT, AI, and software.

Final Recommendation : If you're interested in core mechanical industries, NIT Raipur is a good choice, but if you want to dive into emerging technologies, DSAI or ECE at IIIT Naya Raipur could be a better fit.

Good luck with your decision-making!

Hello aspirant,

The chemical engineering placement rates of six engineering universities were disclosed. With 74% of the total, NIT Raipur has the highest. 81.08% of the chemical engineering graduates who registered for placements the previous year were placed. NIT Raipur also had the highest average compensation in placements 2024, at Rs 21.52 lakh a year.

Thank you

Hope this information helps you.

Your Overall Rank will be in the range of 397640 - 447005.

Talking about the chances you will be having a tough chance to get a seat in NITs, IIITs, thorugh JoSAA Counselling.

But you go for state counselling, where you might have a chance to get a seat, try first in your home state counselling as there you will be having a reservation

Hope this helps you. Thank you.

Hi,

First of all, congratulations on your rank. It is a pretty decent category rank. Now, cutoffs change every year based on a few factors which are as follows -

• Number of applicants

• Number of candidates appeared in the exam

• Difficulty of JEE Advanced 2022

• Total number of seats available at NIT Raipur

• Previous year cutoff trends

• Category of students

If we go by NIT Raipur 2021 cutoff then, closing rank for Computer Science and engineering for ST category (other state quota) was 2586. And your rank is 2428, so you have a fair chance of getting CSE if cutoffs follow last year's trend.

Now for Electronics and Communication, closing rank was 1318, so unless cutoffs are eased a bit this year, your chance of getting ECE are slightly less.

I hope that was helpful.

Hello,

Hope you are doing well. NIT Raipur has built itself a good name by providing cutting-edge research with global standards. There are several sponsored projects supported by the funding agencies like DRDO, DST, DeitY, Space Application Centre (SAC- ISRO), CSIR, CPRI, MNRE, ICMR, RDE, CCOST, and  various other Ministries of Govt. of India. The other Govt./non-Govt. organizations, industries and international funding agencies like State Council of Education Research & Training Raipur, Human Settlement Management Institute, CECB, Revenue & Disaster Management Dept., BALCO, Royal Academy of Engineering, UK  DST (India-Taiwan), NMDC, NSU, NCSU, USA Partnership Program, etc., have also contributed to sponsored research over the years. Important consultancy projects with agencies like NMDC, CPW, BALCO, PWD,   are also undertaken across different departments of the Institute. A record 820 articles were publihed with NIT Raipur affiliation. It is fair to say NIT Raipur is good in this case.

All the best!

hlwo aspirant

hope you are doing well

. both colleges are equally good in terms of academics. The faculty is well-qualified and cooperative in both NIT raipur and IIEST Shibpur with a slight difference.

As per the NIT Raipur placements BTech course in Computer Science & Engineering is best because of the maximum number of offers. so if you are interested in cs then go for nit raipur

if you are interested in research then IIEST Shibpur is best for you. But lastly, your efforts to develop skills in yourself matter immensely, as you are the only person who needs to do hard work. If you do not then even the best college in the country would not help. .

IIEST was always among the top Institutes proving excellent education in engineering

IIEST Shibpur receives similar funding as compared to IIT's which is 40% more than NIT raipur. The campus of Shibpur is much cleaner and greener and the crowd is also better. The hostels of Shibpur are much better than rai pur. Placements are more or less similar in both colleges.

so I'll suggest you to go in iiest shibpur for mechanical engineering. .

hope this helps you

all the very best for your upcoming future
