Moreover, the academic environment is much better at NIT Silchar than at IIIT Guwahati. As for the location, NIT Silchar is gradually overcoming all connectivity issues and the situation is only going to get better.
Ultimately, the final choice depends on your preferences. If you are inclined towards Mechanical, choose NIT Silchar but if you want to pursue a career in CS, definitely go for IIIT Guwahati.
Based on my friend's input on the academic environment and the placement records, my suggestion would be to go for CSE from Nirma University. You should not miss this opportunity as you would witness that it makes a lot of difference when you end up opting for CSE than ECE.
I would not recommend you to go for NIT Silchar, as their placement record and academics is not that appealing. It is also one of the lower-ranked NITs of India, so try to not opt for it. People are aware of the fact that any lower NIT is not that fulfilling and does not match the standards of the other NITs established already.
Because of all of these factors, my friend ended up leaving NIT Silchar and got into Nirma University which is much better.
