ECE: Jobs Data

As per previous year's placement data, the ECE branch's placement rate is quite impressive compared to the other branches of engineering. Among the eight colleges that shared placement data 2020-21, for the analysis, the placement percentage for ECE ranged from around 70 to 100 per cent. The highest placement took place at the IITs. But for the below graph, IIT Kharagpur and NIT Surathkal did not share how many students enrolled for the placement process and have been removed from the list.

ECE Department: Placement Rate

IIT Roorkee, one of the oldest engineering colleges, had a low placement rate compared to other newly-established colleges for ECE branch. But as per data shared with the NIRF, many IIT Roorkee students go for higher studies, which could be one explanation for the low placement percentage.

IIT-ISM Dhanbad, where the programme is relatively new, showed the lowest placement percentage for ECE. IIT Kharagpur remains at the top of the placement rate table just like its NIRF rank.

Hello,

No, your mistake in selecting "Haryana" instead of "Delhi" as the state of 12th-passing during JEE Main form filling will not affect your eligibility for the Delhi quota in JAC (Joint Admission Counselling). Here’s why:

  1. Eligibility for Delhi Quota: The Delhi quota is determined by your school’s location (where you passed your 12th), not what is mentioned in the JEE Main form. If your school is in Delhi, you remain eligible.

  2. Document Verification: During JAC counselling, documents like your 12th mark sheet and school address will be verified. These will confirm your Delhi eligibility.

  3. JEE Data Correction: Even if the correction window didn’t allow the change, it won’t impact your JAC counselling since NTA (JEE Main authority) does not share this detail for quota determination.

  4. Action Needed: Ensure all documents reflect your Delhi schooling. If doubts persist, contact JAC or JEE Main authorities for clarification.

Hope it helps !

if you want you can attempt JEE mains up to 6 time over the period of 3 years this means if you want to attempt you can attempt then in 2025, you can attempt it again and 2026 and then 2027 . These attempts in this increases the number of times of opportunity for students improve their chances of admission in a good engineering university as you can get a good score in them. Practice hard with PYQ question , practice time management and you can see yourself passing with flying colors. JEE MAIN

Hello aspirant,

Students studying for the extremely challenging JEE Mains test will benefit greatly by using the practice papers available. Following the most recent JEE Mains format, these papers offer a range of multiple-choice (MCQ) and numerical-type problems in the subjects of mathematics, physics, and chemistry in one location. Students who practice with sample papers become more accustomed to the format of the JEE Exam and improve their accuracy, speed, and confidence.
