NIT

Dear Aswin,
I can totally understand your dilemma in this case as I have been through the same.
Now, you need understand that there are two important things to consider while seeking admission.
(i) A branch of your choice but from a not so good institute = Not much value.
(ii) A not so demanding engineering branch from a good institute= Not much value either.
In your case, both the institutes are at power to each other and thus it will be difficult to tell which will be better. However, below are some key points
About the branch
*Electronics and Communication Engineering*
Electronics and Communication Engineering opens up great career prospects for the students. The students after completion of the degree can easily avail job opportunities in manufacturing industries and service organizations such as broadcasting, consulting, data communication, entertainment, research and development; and system support.
After completing graduation, one can find gainful employment in variety of sectors such as Indian Telephone Industries, Civil Aviation, Development Centers in various States, Defense, NPL, A.I.R, Posts and Telegraph Department, Railways, Bharat Electronics Limited, D.R.D.O, Telecommunication, Software Engineering/IT, Power sector, Hardware Manufacturing, Home Appliance and VLSI design, Television Industry and Research & Development.

Architecture is one of the top career choices in India. There are multiple opportunities in this field for architects equally in private and public sectors.

Hi Pratik, I have a different way of looking at the situation. I fully respect your views and decision but choosing a career or stream should not be decided on the basis of salary alone. According to me first you will have to evaluate yourself. You will have to analyze whether you have good technical skills or you will do better as a manager in banking and finance industry. As you are in NIT ( REC ) getting a job for you will not be a big deal for you. I will recommend you to remain in India after your BTech for at least 2 years. Then you should decide. Going abroad is fine but at least you will have to spend 25-30 lakhs in INR for either MTech, MS or MBA from abroad. Instead of that why do not you think about IIM's, XLRI, JBIMS, NMIMS other prestigious business schools in India and side by side you can pursue International finance certifications like CFA, FRM etc. Even after doing all this you will save lot of money and also can expect exponential growth in terms of money and skills. Always think about salary in your second and third job change. In the first job you first have to learn the skills, understand corporate and then prepare for the challenges accordingly. BTech, Mtech, MBA, MS are just the license for entry level. Once you enter the job industry it is the way you perform and network. If you have further queries you can email me at chauhanrahul154@yahoo.co.in
