Your rank is too high. Kindly participate in the counselling round. You may get admission.

IIT-Guwahati EEE is far better than IIT BHU in all terms. Be it infrastructure, environment, alumni associates, faculty and students.

Yes, Hardware and Networking is the core for ECE. ECE students have the maximum chance of getting into those Industries compared to other Dept.

Sorry to inform but you should have above 75% in your under graduate degree, (I. e) CGPA 7.5/10, for courses because their is heavy competition out there and you also need to give competitive exam depending on the country you choose.
I hope this helps you.
Good luck.

The placements are good enough for the starting. This branch fetches approximately 3.5-4 lacs per year packages.

Yes, you can as this would be beneficial for you in the future. Being an ECE student it is very important for you to learn programming and if you do this course then you can built a brilliant IoT product that cannot be hacked.

Well, if it is to make sure you get a job, personality development and soft skills is a good option. If it is a technical course in testing or programming or networking, depending on which area you want to pursue, and which area of work you have been recruited for at an organisation.

You have very less chances for getting a good college for any stream. However, you have to look for some top private colleges/universities like VIT, Amity, Galgotia and Bennette, etc. Because these will give you the benefit of CBSE scores.
