All you need to know about MNNIT

I got a good rank in JEE MAINS 2021 examination. I wanted to become a Software Development Engineer, but I couldn't get CSE in any good NIT, but got seat in ECE branch of MNNIT Allahabad. The companies which do visit for SDE profile almost all of them allow circuital branch students to sit for their test, so I chose this branch. There are very good opportunities available after you graduate with a degree in ECE branch, around all SDE profile companies allow you to sit in their tests, you can go for PSUs, also there are ample opportunities present in core domain, companies like Qualcomm, Analog Devices, Intel, etc do visit our campus to hire students.

The faculty at MNNIT are well-qualified professors, almost all are PhD holders from various IITs and NITs. Some of them really have good knowledge of their subject, some professors also come among the list of top 2% of scientists released by Stanford University, USA. The teaching style of a few professors is really good, they are good at teaching but most of them are not really very good at teaching. Sometimes they just wrap up the syllabus before exams and ask all the topics in exam though not taught by them. The professors are approachable. The profs in civil and mechanical departments are very strict, they don't give marks easily, its really difficult to score a good CGPA in these branches. Talking about our branch ECE the profs are light many of them give marks but yes exceptions are always there.There are enough number of faculty members according to students.
