That I can choose, and then focus on higher studies like cat or gate in tech related field, or core or, whatever I feel ike

Also I their branchism?? Like lower branches treated differently?? Like superiority among others..

Also how is college life

I'd recommend incoming students, as well as those in their UG/PG programs to take a careful look at this Stanford Emerging Technology Review document to have a clear picture about the future of technology, and the opportunities available in different fields.

This might help you move from the software engineering craze to be able to see the bigger picture where expertise in domains like materials science, biotech, quantum and semiconductors, will be of much more value than only software engineering skills. Also to be noted is the emphasis on how professionals in almost all STEM fields need to be proficient in AI (not just using AI tools, but be able to build them).

I currently have EE but as I saw in the labs , EE is pure hell, the professors shout and sometimes even slap for every small mistake. Our EE class professor even made some people do sit ups while holding their ear in a class of adults, its too much . I have 9.5 cgpa , I want to change branch and this year many people have left the seats and went to JU as JU counselling was late. Ofc I will choose cse and ece as options, should I keep MNC as option too ?

How is MnC branch ? Will the predicted placements be good? Its better for future and opens more doors for us ?

Can I get time for coding is EE is very tough and we don't get time ??

Not trying to offer unsolicited advice, but as someone who has seen a bit of the world and how AI is transforming the future of work, here are a few thoughts:

1. Aim for higher studies after graduation: The next wave of in-demand professionals will be those with strong domain expertise (at least at the Master’s level, if not a PhD) combined with knowledge of AI. So, try to maintain a strong CGPA (CGPA matters, irrespective of what you're told by peers or seniors) and consider applying to PhD programs abroad (with full funding/scholarship) in your field of interest (STEM fields). Many of the consulting roles where top B-School alumni opt for, are being fast replaced by AI, so I'm not sure if pursuing MBA is the right choice now (except from the top schools).
2. Regardless of your department, learn AI on your own. It is not very difficult, you just need knowledge of basic Python programming, probability and statistics, some calculus, and, most importantly, be curious about solving problems. The ability to ask the right questions and continuously learn new concepts is key.
3. Do not treat materials science/metallurgy or biotechnology as "lower branches": These are fields of the future, where rapid progress is essential for the advancement of humanity, and there are many unanswered questions. Jobs involving repetitive work (e.g., basic to mid-level software engineering roles) are already declining, while fields with unsolved problems are set to grow significantly, with the integration of AI and computations.
4. If you’re studying CS, treat it as an applied mathematics/applied physics field, not just for software engineering or coding. I’ve seen many accomplished computer scientists who are not great coders, but they are awesome mathematicians and problem solvers. Coding alone is no longer a skill, but you need to know enough to ask, understand and evaluate what AI models generate. Instead focus on having a strong foundation in algorithms, recent hardware (GPUs, new architectures from Cerebras, Groq, etc), and coding for specific hardware, and AI/quantum computing. Of course, if you are an exceptional coder who can heavily optimize production systems, you will still be in high demand.

Try to use the NIT tag to explore opportunities at top universities around the world, particularly in the US and Europe (preferably with full scholarship), rather than settling for a job immediately after graduation. Do not focus only on salary packages after your BTech, learn to aim higher, and stand out among the hundreds of thousands of engineers graduating every year. You have the potential to change your own life and your family’s future, as well as make an impact on the world.

Most of the recent posts in this group have been about packages and complaints or rants about seniors, peers, and professors, so I thought of introducing something different. I hope this interests you and encourages you to ask more questions here about becoming the engineers and scientists of the future, instead of focusing on trivial things.

Happy to answer any questions you may have, so please feel free to post them publicly for everyone to see.

i have submitted my income certificate during the joining should I have to again submit it in the 2nd year as well or the same can be continued further 4th year. do I have to submit every academic year?

Hello , i'll be getting civil , MME mech, in nit dgp this year . But I had a few questions ...

Do these branches have good placements ?

Since a lot of them involve on-site jobs, are women usually hired by core companies?

How difficult is it to shift to software roles ?

Will these branches lead to a good/stable career prospects?

Requesting the seniors to please help out 🙏

crl rank 45k, gen female

Can any senior please share the information 🙏🏻

Every club has done post dec but not our seniors at LC. We want to know who the next president will be. When will you guys do the post dec? Even non existent clubs like chemical society have done their post dec. We are fed up of the LC batch of 2026. Good for nothing seniors who did nothing for our club in this entire academic year and just did night outs with all the reimbursement money they got and spent all the money on themselves. They care so less for the club that they haven’t even considered doing post dec even after half may has passed. I regret joining this club. People are so late and useless specially the final years who have graduated just now.

Give me suggestions please

Recently I think a batch completed its B.Tech. Many people must have shared pics and from one of my relative's son (he finished 2nd year) I too saw those pics.
I saw students mingling freely with the profs. I saw one guy in black t shirt playing basketball with students, profs posing for pictures etc.
The relative's son told me about farewell also that happened.

My question is, I thought ME deptt. was bad but from the pics it didn't appear so. So what is the truth ?

How would you rate NIT DGP ECE based on curriculum, internship opportunities and placements?
