National Institute of Technology - [NIT] Meghalaya: 9 answered questions

Which one is better-NIT Uttarakhand or NIT Meghalaya?

Niti Shukla,

25 Oct 21

The choice generally depends on the certain individual and what he prefers. Both of these institutes started in the same year. They are both new NITs so they come with their fair share of pros and cons.

One of my friends did his Master’s from NIT Meghalaya. According to him, it still has a lot to work on and improve, be it their infrastructure, research grants, etc.
The permanent campus is under construction.
The Electrical Engineering department has better-equipped labs than the other departments.
If you are willing to pursue a Master’s program then it is recommended you opt for any other college rather than the two mentioned.

Categories	NIT Uttarakhand	NIT Meghalaya
Course Fee	5.82 lakh	6.1 lakh
Placement Percentage	80%	80%
Highest CTC	15 LPA	11-12 LPA
Average CTC	6 LPA	6-7 LPA
Recruiting Companies	Amazon, TCS, etc.	Vedanta, L&T, etc.

NIT Uttarakhand and NIT Meghalaya are both tier 3 institutions, so the outcome of graduating from these will definitely differ. Though NIT Uttarakhand has been known to improve their placements every year. But they have a lot to develop to reach the status of tier 1 or 2 colleges.

Which is better academically (preferably CSE and ECE branch), NIT Manipur. NIT Meghalaya, NIT Sikkim, NIT Nagaland or Tezpur University?

Dona Ghosh,

11 Nov 21

Before choosing an institute, think about what your requirements are. Here are some points that might help you make a decision.

If your aim is a job in a corporate sector then the NITs will definitely be better options. Opt for either NIT Meghalaya or Nagaland.
Do not compare their placements with older NITs as it could prove disappointing.
Tezpur University (TU) is also known to provide good placement opportunities but it is more concentrated to only the CSE department.
You may get placements from a few IT companies, but overall placements are concerned NITs are definitely better than TU.
Students who are interested in learning and exploring research fields can opt for TU as well.
Tezpur University has very good faculty strength in ECE & CSE.
The two departments are much older too.
The CSE faculty and labs of TU are better than NIT Silchar.
TU has got a good research environment as there are multiple departments of Science and Engineering, which is not the case of the mentioned NITs.

Therefore it is suggested that if you aim for an immediate job opportunity, go for NITs. For students who feel confident that they can get a job off campus or are more inclined towards academics and research can go for TU.

Which one is better, NIT Sikkim EC or NIT Meghalaya EC?

Akhil Chowdhury

12 Sept 22

You should choose NIT Sikkim EC. The department has a great faculty base. Most of the faculty members are alumni of reputed IITs. The institute offers good placement opportunities to students. For 2020-21 academic year, NIT Sikkim placements have seen a 72.86% placement rate. Reputed companies such as TCS, Godrej, Infosys, etc. take part in the placement drive.

Is it better to take ECE in NIT, Nagaland or EEE in NIT, Meghalaya (on the basis of future job prospects)?

Rishi Tiwari

05 Jul 21

EEE and ECE are both totally different branches and both of them have their respective job opportunities. After a lot of research, I got to know about NIT Meghalaya and Nagaland. Let me discuss them, which might give you a better idea.

In today’s world ECE has more opportunities in the private sectors whereas EEE has got more opportunities in government sectors.
They also have different requirements for the jobs.
In ECE you just need to maintain a good CGPA, with the basics fully memorized and you are good to go.
For EEE and getting a government job like PSU, you need to apply for GATE and get a good rank and score.
Placement in the ECE stream is easier than the EEE stream.
The placements of NIT Meghalaya are a little above Nagaland.
You can change your course in NIT Meghalaya to ECE even after selecting EEE in the first semester.

Categories	ECE in NIT Nagaland	EEE in NIT Meghalaya
Course Fee	5.40 lakh	6.10 lakh
Highest CTC	11 LPA	17.2 LPA
Average CTC	5 LPA	5.2 LPA

The most important thing is to make a choice based on your preference of course rather than the institute name since both of them are on equal terms in all aspects.

Which is a good choice, PEC Chandigarh or NIT Meghalaya?

Pavan Sharma

02 May 21

PEC Chandigarh and NIT Meghalaya, neither of them are good colleges as of now due to some major reasons.

NIT Meghalaya:

NIT Meghalaya is situated in the northeastern part of India and it is a newly built NIT.
It now comes at the bottom among all the NITs of our country. This is because of the poor and temporary management faculty and it doesn't even have a campus of its own.
The placements here are currently very poor as this college is newly built. It will take its time to get exposure and recognition which can attract top companies to visit for campus placements.

PEC Chandigarh:

PEC Chandigarh is not a great college as students scoring lower ranks like 40k or more can also get admission at PEC.
The placement records are also very poor here. And being at PEC Chandigarh you will also not get the NITian tag which can be very helpful while looking for jobs.

It is suggested to take a year drop and start preparing for JEE Main properly and aim to score higher marks. Appear for the January exam and not the April exam as almost every student targets for it and it can be very difficult to score higher rankings as competition will get very tough. January exam will have less competition and it will be easy to get higher rankings which can indeed open possibilities to get admission in one of the top IITs or NITs.
