Hi aspirant,

You asked for the comparison between smart manufacturing in IITDM & ece in iit kottyam.

Look, ECE is one of the top branches in engineering. But, on the other hand, smart manufacturing is not good at all. So, you should go for ece.

IIT Kottyam has good placement. NISSAN ,L&T, Reliance(JIO) and many more good companies come for campusing.

Good companies like NISSAN offered package starting from 6 to 10 lpa. Which is brilliant when seeing the first placement year of the Institute. Whereas other new iiits did not see this type of offers in  first year. So comparing the current scenario one can expect that the placement to be as well as old nits in coming 2–3 years. It is a well deserving institute for candidates securing rank between 5k to 15k.

So, it's better option for you.
