One of my acquaintances who has graduated from VNIT has asked me to choose my institute by keeping the following points in mind.
IT has a lot of scopes. Later down the road, if you want to continue with your higher studies, you will be capable of switching to almost any department pertaining to computers. IT from NIT Raipur is an excellent choice.
The scope in the metallurgy sector is limited nowadays. It is obviously your call, though. There is vast scope in IT like research, job, etc.
For CSE, NIT Calicut is the best option among these NITs. It offers better placements and career opportunities. According to the recent highlights of NIT Calicut placements the average CTC offered for CSE students is around INR 17 LPA+. Around 100% of students from the branch get placed each year. Microsoft, Infosys, Amazon, etc. are the major recruiters for the branch.
BITS Goa is anytime better than all the NITs in India. The following are the reasons.
