Hello aspirant!!

Yes it is true that IIT Jabalpur is a very good institute providing every facility from academics to faculty etc. Electronics and Communication Engineering is second most sought out branch after CSE in almost all colleges in India. Talking about research, it demands highly qualified and skilled faculties without them nobody can even think of research. IIIT Jabalpur has some fairly young and good faculties in ECE department. Though nothing is perfect in nature so is the Institute, as it is comparatively new Institute(almost 12 years). Well, placements are nice, but the harsh reality is that the students are not taught enough in UG to get into core electronics businesses, which require deeper knowledge of core electronics. If you wish to work in core electronics, you'll need a master's or doctoral degree. Otherwise, if you want to work in the IT field, you'll have the same options as CSE folks.

Hope this information proves to be helpful.

Good luck!!
