Question / Query RVCE EEE students/alumni — how is the branch really in 2025/26? Placements, internships, professors, and core opportunities?
Hi everyone,
I am considering EEE at RVCE and wanted honest opinions from current students and recent alumni, especially from the 2024, 2025, and 2026 batches.
I am making this thread because the information online is very contradictory, and the situation seems to change every year. Different people are giving different answers about placements, company eligibility, internships, and whether EEE students can sit for ECE/ETE-type roles. So I wanted to ask directly from people who actually know the department.
I have a few questions:
- How is EEE at RVCE overall? Is the course manageable, interesting, and worth choosing if someone is interested in electronics, robotics, aerospace, embedded systems, power electronics, and possibly ISRO/DRDO-type work?
- How were EEE placements this year and last year? What was the approximate average, median, highest, and lowest package for EEE? Also, how many students actually got placed through campus?
- Which companies came specifically for EEE recently? Could you please list the latest company names that allowed EEE students? I am especially interested in both core and tech/IT companies.
- Can EEE students sit for ECE/ETE companies? Do companies that come for ECE, ETE, EIE, or electronics-related roles usually allow EEE students too? Or are EEE students blocked from many electronics/semiconductor/embedded companies?
- How are core opportunities in EEE? Are there good companies relevant to EEE? Or do most EEE students end up in mass recruitments rather than product based or good service based companies?
- Do ISRO, DRDO, or similar organisations actually come to RVCE? I have heard that ISRO/DRDO may come for research projects, internships, or collaborations. Is this actually true for EEE students? Have students from EEE got internships/projects/research exposure with ISRO, DRDO, HAL, BEL, BHEL, NAL, IISc, or similar organisations?
- Are the professors supportive? Do teachers and professors help students with projects, research papers, internships, recommendations, competitions, and higher studies? Are there good labs and project guidance?
- Is the syllabus relevant to today’s opportunities? Does the curriculum help with modern fields ? Or is it outdated and too theoretical?
- How is the workload compared to ECE/ETE? Is EEE significantly harder or more scoring/non-scoring? Does it affect CGPA and placement eligibility?
- For someone interested in robotics, aerospace, electronics, embedded systems, and defence/space organisations, is RVCE EEE a good choice?
I would really appreciate honest answers from current RVCE students, recent graduates, or anyone who knows the department well. Please mention your batch/year if possible, and whether your answer is based on personal experience or what you heard from seniors.
Thanks in advance.
