I’m currently evaluating my options and will likely be choosing between ECE and EIE at NIT Silchar.

I would really appreciate some honest insights, advice, or reality checks from anyone currently studying there or recent alumni. I’ve broken my main doubts down into a few specific questions:

1. Placement Realities & Coding: What did the actual placement statistics look like for the latest batch in both ECE and EIE? Do most tech companies allow EIE students to sit for interviews alongside CSE/ECE? Also, is coding absolutely compulsory to get a decent package, or do solid core electronics/instrumentation companies recruit heavily on campus?
2. The "Remote Location" Factor: Silchar is geographically quite isolated. What are the practical, day-to-day consequences of this during the 4-year B.Tech journey? (e.g., travel hassle, food/climate adjustments, access to external resources).
3. Corporate Outreach: Does the distance/location actively discourage major tier-1 tech or core companies from visiting the campus physically for placements and internships? Are online/virtual hiring processes the norm here because of the location?
4. ECE vs. EIE Decision: If you were back in my shoes, which one would you choose and why? Is the academic workload in EIE slightly lighter than the notoriously hectic ECE curriculum, or are they equally grueling?
5. Campus Culture & Facilities: Any other insider info you can provide regarding the campus culture, coding environment, labs, or professor mentality would be incredibly helpful!

Yes i did use AI please help me im very worried! ❤️
