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.

IIT Roorkee and IIT ISM Dhanbad had more students registered for placement than the number of students enrolled. It may be because of some lateral entry of students after the enrollment process.

Questions related to JEE Main

On Question asked by student community

Have a question related to JEE Main ?

Yes , you might be able to change your Aadhaar / identity-proof details during the JEE Main 2026 correction window. The JEE Main 2026 correction window for Session 1 is Scheduled at December 1 to 2, 2025.

Hello,

If your family income is actually less than Rs. 1 lakh, then you must correct it during the JEE correction window .
If you keep the wrong income (up to Rs. 1 lakh), the college may not give you fee waiver or EWS-based tuition fee benefits. So correcting it is better.

About the correction fee:
Usually, JEE does not charge extra for changing basic details like income or category documents during the correction window. But if you change something that affects the application fee (like category), then a fee difference may apply.
For income detail change only, you normally do not need to pay anything .

So yes, correct it if your real income is below Rs. 1 lakh. It will help you during counselling and fee waiver.

Hope it helps !

Hello,

It should not cause a big problem , but you must correct it during JEE Main form correction window .

Here is the simple rule:

  • Your JEE application name must match your Aadhaar details as much as possible.

  • If you wrote only name + surname from your Class 10 marksheet, and your Aadhaar has name + father’s name + surname , then it is better to update it in the correction window .

What to do:

  1. Wait for the form correction window to open.

  2. Edit your name in the JEE form to match your Aadhaar card .

  3. Save and submit.

If correction is allowed, everything will be fine.

If correction is not allowed, don’t worry too much. Carry your Class 10 certificate and Aadhaar card during exam, the NTA usually accepts it if your identity is clear.

Hope it helps !

Hello,

No, there is no correction window for changing your Aadhar photo after you have already submitted the JEE form, and it could be a big issue during the exam. You must visit an Aadhaar enrollment center to update your Aadhaar photo, which can't be done online.

I hope it will clear your query!!
