Which is better IIIT Pune ECE or NIT Durgapur biotechnology?

KN
Kanika Narula Posted On : July 7th, 2021
B.Tech Chemical Engineering, National Institute of Technology Durgapur (2020)

I have a friend who went to NIT Durgapur, so I can give you some idea about the Biotechnology branch at the institute, based on what I heard from her.

According to her, Biotechnology at NIT Durgapur does not get much importance as the other branches such as CSE, IT, or ECE. Also, people often tend to look down on the branch.

Here are the recent placement highlights for Biotechnology at NIT Durgapur.

Eligible Students 28
Total Placed 12
Percentage Placed 42.86
Total Job Offered 13

But Biotechnology is all about interest. If you are passionate about the subject, you can definitely do well in your academics. Don’t worry much about placement. If you have the required skills, you will have decent placement opportunities at NIT Durgapur.
