The faculty at CIT Kokrajhar is from reputed colleges such as IIT, NIT, and ACE. They are quite helpful towards students who work sincerely. A friend of mine has studied in CIT Kokrajhar and he recommended me not to go there.  It does not offer good placement opportunities. It lags behind when compared to national universities such as NIT or IIT. It would be advised to join CIT Kokrajhar only if it is your last resort.  Below listed is a detailed comparison of these two universities on various important factors: Particulars CIT Kokrajhar NIT Silchar Courses Offered B.Tech, B.Des., Diploma B.Tech, M.Tech, PG Diploma, and Ph.D. Entrance Accepted CITEE, CITDEE, CITLET, CITBDAT JEE Main, CAT, GATE, and NET Highest Salary Package (LPA) INR 5,00,000 INR 33,05,000 Ranking (as per surveys in 2020) 36 by India Today and 46 by NIRF None Facilities And Infrastructure: CIT Kokrajhar is adding new facilities for its students such as medical, hostel, internet, sports, and technical support gradually. Infrastructural facilities are better when compared to other state colleges. The central university library on campus is one of the first in Assam that has RFID Technology available. Placements: CIT Kokrajhar is still struggling in terms of providing placements. Very few students from the respective batches get placed through campus placements. If you are looking for job opportunities while studying at CIT Kokrajhar then you should try and appear for GATE as that will aid in job opportunities. Although, the CIT campus is growing gradually. It will take time to come at par with NIT Silchar. Due to the uncertainty of placements, you must consider opting for this university if this is your last option.

CIT Kokrajhar is deemed to be a university that mainly specializes in engineering courses. A friend of mine has done a designing course from CIT and found out that it was very average. Also, the information mentioned by the university is not sufficient.  You should consider exploring more options if you are interested in pursuing B.Des. There might not be many opportunities for you if you are looking forward to pursuing a designing course at this university. Below mentioned are the important points relevant for pursuing a B.Des course at CIT Kokrajhar: Particulars CIT Kokrajhar – B.Des Fees INR 4,25,000 Duration 4 Years Entrance Exam Accepted CITBDAT Seats Available 30 Placement Type On-Campus It is recommended that you prepare for NIFT or NID which are much better options for designing.
