Keeping in mind the academic environment and placement statistics, the following should be the preferences: CSE at NIT Hamirpur, IIIT Jabalpur, NIT Jalandhar, and IIIT Kancheepuram. ECE at NIT Hamirpur, ECE at NIT Jalandhar, IIIT Kancheepuram, and then IIIT Jabalpur. Choose a college with a broadband internet connection in the hostels for CSE. In general, the faculty at all of these colleges will be mediocre, and you will be forced to rely on the internet for your education. Once the CSE and hostel broadband requirements have been met, consider which college is closer to home, near a city, and not in a country where you do not speak the native language.

NIT Silchar is one of the top engineering colleges in India. Recently in NIRF Ranking by MHRD, NIT Silchar holds 46th rank among best engineering Institutes in the country. My brother is from NIT Silchar and this is the best thing that ever happened to him. But also every institute has its own advantages and disadvantages. Pros: Weather: Pristine green and calm climate, No pollution, Beautiful lakes, and amazing tea gardens. Professors: The teachers here are extremely friendly. They will advise you on your future choices and point you in the right direction. Other Activities: Apart from your academics, you have the freedom to explore your hobbies or create new ones, develop other skills, go on a tour to nearby amazing places like Mizoram, Shillong, Sikkim, Twang, and so on.  Internet: The best thing among all facilities is unlimited internet access. Many colleges have high-speed internet, but they do not provide unlimited access without a time limit. Placement: Many notable companies visit the campus every year for good placements like Samsung, Goldman Sachs, L&T, Flour Daniell, Snapdeal, Gammon, BPCL, HPCL, Reliance JIO, etc. Start-up Culture: NIT Silchar has recently established a startup center under the Government of India to promote entrepreneurship among students and in surrounding areas, with the goal of being a Job Creator rather than a Job Seeker.  Festivals and Celebrations: All the festivals are celebrated on college campuses like Diwali, Bihu, Holi, etc. This college also organize cultural fests every year such as the Technical festival — Tecnoesis, Cultural festival, Incandescence and Posua, Management festival, Paarbon, Innovation festival. Cons: In-time for girls: Girls are not allowed to go out after 8 P. M. Food: Be it mess or canteens or restaurants in the city you will crave good food. People will tell you about a few restaurants for their amazing food, but they will not tell you about their food serving time. But if you have Subway on your campus then there is no problem. I hope my answer is helpful to you.

When I asked a senior of mine the same question, she told me to exclude NIT Raipur. The reason is, NIT Raipur is one of the newer institutes and to be considered worthy, the institute has to improve a lot. The other two institutes, however, would be a tough call. My senior said BIT Mesra is slightly ahead of NIT Hamirpur just because the former has been around for much longer than the latter. Despite all that, NIT Hamirpur is located in pleasant surroundings. In addition to that, it will also give you the NIT tag and is an INI. So, in the case of comparison by merit, it all depends on who has the higher cut-off in a particular session. NIT Hamirpur is also a new NIT and it is improving with each day. On the other hand, the quality of education, placements in the electrical branch of NIT Raipur are going down with each passing day.

My brother is from PEC Chandigarh, so I might be able to share some facts with you. Some important factors regarding placements of PEC include the following: PEC has an academic policy that requires you to complete a 6-month internship in an industry or a research laboratory during the fifth semester. It strengthens the industry-academia relationship while also securing good PPO. This policy does not apply to NITs. PEC's alumni-institution relationship is one-of-a-kind because of its long history. Try to construct it at NITH so that in upcoming days it'll be fruitful. A dedicated Career Development and Guidance Cell (former TPO) is required to contact and invite large corporations to the campus. With the practical approach to teaching and the freedom to participate in extracurricular activities, PEC students have a lower academic load than NITH students. The final but most important factor is the ability (not to be confused with talent) that the students develop here being a part of a club or society. Above all, study hard to gain good core knowledge, use your nit tag, and try to land good off-campus placement offers. This will certainly change the atmosphere on campus and your college's image in the eyes of industry. The change will come gradually with time.

My friends have been studying in both NIT Hamirpur and PEC Chandigarh and according to their first-hand experience, PEC Chandigarh holds an edge. Here’s why: It lies in a prime location viz. Chandigarh. The city has better and numerous opportunities. It is an education hub in the North, hence making it easier to plan and implement your higher education goals. There are ample coaching centers as well in case you want to prepare for government exams. PEC has better placement and internship options as well, again it is due to the location advantage. Categories Civil at NIT Hamirpur Civil at PEC Chandigarh Course Fee 6.86 lakh 6.39 lakh Placement Percentage 70-80% 85-90% Highest CTC 12 LPA 15 LPA Average CTC 5 LPA 6.5 LPA Recruiting Companies L&T, Accenture, Capgemini, Godrej, etc. Google, Amazon, Goldman Sachs,  Overall, while both the colleges offer good education, NIT holds a big brand name. However, factors like location and opportunities come first when in such a dilemma. Also, as you are getting the same branch in both the colleges, choose PEC Chandigarh any day.

NSIT/DTU is far better than NIT Hamirpur for CSE.  Be it academics, placement, research culture, peer group, exposure, etc. NSIT/DTU will offer better opportunities. These two institutes also have a locational advantage. Due to the favorable location, you can easily get good exposure in the CSE domain. NSIT and DTU both will offer you plenty of opportunities. However, many students prefer NSIT for their small student intake. 

It is unfair to compare IIIT Allahabad with NIT Hamirpur. If you take a look at the closing cutoff for IIIT Allahabad and NIT Hamirpur, the difference will be clear. If you have the option to choose IIIT Allahabad, go for it without giving it a second thought. Now if you clear the cutoff for IT at IIIT A, you will be eligible for ECE as well. Here is a brief comparison of IIIT Allahabad and NIT Hamirpur. Institute IIIT Allahabad NIT Hamirpur Course Fee 5.85 lakhs 5.84 lakhs Highest CTC 43 LPA 42 LPA Placement Average 96% 100% Top Recruiters Vehant, ZScaler, Infosys, Wipro IBM, Reliance, Wipro I have many friends at IIIT Allahabad and based on what I heard from them I will suggest you choose the institute.

Before selecting among institutes, you should decide which branch to opt for. As per the question asked, you must have an interest in both EE and CSE at the two specified institutes. The points followed will give certain guidelines, based on which you can come to a conclusion. CSE has a much better placement opportunity in the private sector all over India. But for electrical engineers, there is a good scope in the government sector. Considering the reputation of institutes, NIT Hamirpur is a much better institute than IIIT Vadodara. In NIT Hamirpur, the alumni base is obviously much stronger than that of IIIT Vadodara. The campus life too is much better in NIT H. The only disadvantage is its location with no direct access to the city. On the other hand, Vadodara is a well-established city with proper communication to other cities. But, Hamirpur is not as bad a location as Mandi, and so is somewhat accessible. NIT Hamirpur has one of the most beautiful campuses in India. So, the four years of engineering are very spent inside the campus of NIT H. No one regrets being on the campus by any means. Considering the above points, it can be deduced that EE at NIT Hamirpur is a better option, having a better college reputation and good campus life.

My cousin recently enrolled in NIT Hamirpur and definitely loves the state-of-the-art facilities. It provides and its modern infrastructure. It has excellent facilities in its 320 acres area which includes a computer centre, a library with over 100,000 books, an auditorium, a guest house, sports grounds, solar heaters, hostels, gym, and of course- lifts. NIT Hamirpur has a lift facility in the departments which offer UG programs. Some more lifts have been added in some of the newly built hostels which are for students in the second year and beyond, much Iike NIT Nagpur has a lift in the new academic block and the new hostel. Another point here, the New Hostels are for girls and boys in the first year, only.
