Q: Which is better: NIT Hamirpur Electrical Branch or VIT Chennai CSE Branch?

I don't know about this comparison, but I can guide you about Lovely Professional University.

At LPU, instead of comparing colleges, you should focus on choosing the right branch based on your interest and career goals. If you take Electrical or EEE, LPU gives you good exposure through labs, projects, and internships, especially in areas like power systems, automation, and emerging technologies like EV and smart grids. If you choose a computer-related branch like CSE, then the placement opportunities are generally higher because many IT companies visit campus and offer better packages.

In general, at LPU and most universities, CSE has higher placement potential, while Electrical is more core-focused and requires deeper conceptual understanding. So if your priority is high packages and IT jobs, go for CSE. If you are interested in core engineering, government jobs, or technical fields, Electrical is a good option.

So the better choice depends on your interest, not just the college or branch name.

B.Tech. in Mechatronics and Automation - Batch of 2028

A great campus, AC labs, library, skilled faculty, clubs, and manageable exams.

Placements: Almost 80 to 90 percent of people got placed. The rest are those with backlogs and arrears. Everyone got placed in good companies starting from an average salary package of 7 LPA. Super dream offers came for people with good CGPA and good skills (CGPA above 9+). This course requires the person to have more skills because it is mechanical and electronics. So without skills, you won't be considered as good. The lowest package went up to 3 LPA to 5 LPA.

Infrastructure: Library offers books, articles, and access to research papers. Spacious AC labs have large-screen PCs. Classrooms can occupy 60-70 seats with fans and black & white boards. Wi-Fi credentials are provided in the first year. Hostellers can use Wi-Fi from 4:00 AM to 12:00 AM on hostel premises and inside the library. Whereas, day scholars can use Wi-Fi in the library with their Wi-Fi credentials.

Faculty: Mechatronics covers both mechanical and electronics, giving broad knowledge rather than deep specialisation. Faculty are knowledgeable and industry-focused. Exams are manageable if you study consistently instead of waiting until the last week. Semester exams are not that hard and not that easy. They are of mid-level depending upon your subject knowledge and the difficulty of the exam paper, as every paper is set by the faculty. Students should study consistently.

Other: Campus is lively, clean, and well-maintained. Students can join clubs, hackathons, sports, and cultural events to build skills. Cultural fest is paid, while most teach fest events are free. Fee vary by admission category, hostel room, and mess type. Regular events help improve communication, networking, and overall personality. Campus has some restrictions for both girls and boys regarding out-timing. We are allowed to go for an outing for only 6 hours, and we need to be inside the college premises before 6:00 PM. Girls' in-time for the hostel is 8:00 PM, and for boys it is 9:00 PM.

Not a bad college. You can join it if you want to gain exposure.

Placements: VIT Chennai is a very good college. It offers very good placements. I think the median package is around 9 LPA, so it offers good value for money. Even average students can get good placements. Around 80% of the students get placed. The highest package is 1.25 crore, and the lowest package is 3.4 LPA.

Infrastructure: A lot of facilities are available at the college. The Wi-Fi is good. Labs are well-equipped. The library is high-tech, with computers available and an RFID-based book borrowing system. However, the classrooms are a bit outdated. The food available in the canteens is also bad. The medical facilities are too good. There is a separate block for medical services.

Faculty: Teachers are well-qualified, helpful, and knowledgeable. Every faculty member has at least one Ph.D. The quality of teaching depends on the faculty you choose through FFCS. The curriculum is relevant, does not include unnecessary subjects, and prepares students for the industry. The semester exams are a bit tough due to the introduction of the new ACE curriculum.

Other: The college is not bad. The cultural events are good, but the management is very poor.

Overall, it is a bad college. Be wise.

Placements: Almost every student gets placed, but the package varies. Hardly any high-paying roles are offered. Most students get placed in mass recruiting companies. Shortlisting is random as well, so students should not keep high expectations for college placements. They need to work hard for off-campus opportunities.

Infrastructure: Labs and classrooms are good. Wi-Fi is available, but it is provided only from 6 AM to 12 AM. The speed is slow. Hostels are okay, and rooms are fine, but beds are bunked, which is a problem. The hostel is quite strict. The mess food is very bad.

Faculty: Some faculty members are good, while some are extremely bad. The curriculum is fine and up to the mark. Some teachers are egoistic and do not evaluate properly. A few teachers show favoritism toward South Indian students, but it is what it is. Semester exams are not that difficult. Just studying for two weeks before exams is enough to pass.

Other: Fests are organized, but are not very good. They are very restrictive and too expensive. So they are not worth it.

Overall, the college is good with decent campus life, but it is overcrowded.

Placements: Almost 80–90 percent of the students who applied for placements got placed last year, mostly through mass recruiters. They offer around 4–6 LPA. The highest package in my course was 44 LPA, and the lowest was around 3 LPA. Companies like Whirlpool, ABB, Honeywell, and Alstom are top recruiters. Almost everyone here gets an internship offer by the 3rd year, either via college or outside. Because it consists of credit which is necessary to complete the degree.

Infrastructure: Classrooms and lab facilities are decent. Library has a separate building which is open from 6 AM to 12 AM. The internet is sometimes good and sometimes poor. On average, the speed is around 2 Mbps and works from 6 AM to 12 AM. The quality of food in the mess is decent. There is a health center on campus where medical help is available free of cost. Sports and games are based on personal interest, but sports club frequently conducts various tournaments.

Faculty: It depends on the professor you choose. Most of them are Ph.D. holders, but not all Ph.D. holders are necessarily good teachers. Overall, the teaching quality is good. From the first year, they ask students to make projects and teach practical skills, which makes students industry-ready sooner or later. The difficulty of the semester depends on the subjects and total credits taken. Almost 80–90 percent of students pass every course.

Other: EEE is one of the core courses which is stable and always has scope. But to be honest I always wanted ECE but I made a mistake in online counselling and landed in EEE. Festivals and events are conducted regularly by various clubs in the college. Approximately 152 clubs on campus such as sports, dance, tech, music, and cultural clubs. So the academic pressure does not affect students much.

VIT Chennai in 2026 worth it or not.

Placements: VIT Chennai make sure that every student will get placed. So the placement is 100 percent but there is a cache. If your CGPA is below 8, then you will get placed at low packages like 3.5 LPA. If you are lucky then maybe you will get above 6 LPA. Your grades are much more important in this college than your skill. Many companies will give you above 20 LPA package if your CGPA is 8.5 or above.

Infrastructure: Overall facilities are really good. In the hostel the infrastructure is good except the Wi-Fi which is very slow and it is turned off after 12:00 AM till 4:00-5:00 AM. If anything needs to be repaired in your room. You just need to put the complaint on the website and within a few hours a technician will come and fix your issue. There are so many restrictions in the hostel. You have to be inside the hostel building before 9:00 PM and you can't play table tennis after 9:00 PM as it may disturb other students.

Faculty: Academic pressure is really high in VIT. In one semester you have to give 3 exams. In one of the exams they ask you to bring your handwritten notes in the exam but the exam is really tough so it is barely helpful. There is a relatively strict grading system so there is a huge competition among students. Class average is really important to get good grades. If you are a category 5 student then you have extra pressure to get good marks as you have literally paid more than 25 lakhs for 4 years.

Other: The course is good except for a few courses which are not necessary to be included like Indian studies.

It has really good infrastructure.

Placements: VIT offers an average package that ranges from 8-9 LPA. Some students also get a high package that ranges from 20-30 LPA, and some even get 1 crore per annum, but that would be only for the top students. Many companies also come here, like Google, Microsoft, Deloitte, TCS, etc.

Infrastructure: Hostel quality and maintenance are really noticeable. Unlike other friends' hostels I have heard about, VIT hostels have better rooms, washrooms, washing areas, and free washing service as well. The mess food is also decent. The quality check of food is done quite often, and if any problem arises, then hostel staff members are always a call away. We also get free medical services anytime and an ambulance that works 24x7 and is only a call away. We also have a ground, a badminton court, and sports equipment.

Faculty: Exams are difficult, but they are average, which finally matters at the end. The pass percentage is 40 percent in the main exam, while students must also maintain above 50 percent in overall marks, which includes final exam marks, mid-semester marks, and all the assignments, so everything counts. We can't be sure that it will make us industry-ready, but our theoretical concepts do get stronger.

Other: The main reason for choosing this course is that I wanted to get my degree from this college, as it is a reputed one, and this course is well-known by many. Besides all that, the combined field of Electronics and Computer Engineering would be something that many students like me, who are confused a bit at the early stages of their college life, can decide what they really want to pursue.
