To draw a better comparison, let’s differentiate IIT Roorkee and IIT Mumbai on the basis of branches
CSE- On the basis of the research output, location, and popularity, Mumbai is the winner in this case while Roorkee stands in 4 or 5 positions.
ECE/Communications/Signal Processing: IIT Roorkee and KGP are the most preferred IITs. But considering the job opportunities, IIT Mumbai is again a winner.
EE: IIT Delhi's Electrical Engineering is considered the best-rank department internationally among other IITs. Mumbai and Roorkee are equally good but IIT Bombay again is slightly at an advantage.
Mechanical: Madras and Mumbai are the best. Roorkee is also decent but yet not at par with IIT Bombay standards.
Chemical: IIT Bombay has an upper due to its better research output and the number of practicing chemical engineers.
Physics: Applied science is definitely better at IIT Roorkee. Even though its research and lab quality is comparable, however, IIT Bombay is preferred owing to the diversity in handling research problems.
Mathematics: In this case, IIT Kanpur takes the lead followed by Roorkee and Mumbai.
Chemistry: IIT Bombay is the best in every aspect.
Civil- IIT Roorkee’s Civil is considered the best in Asia.
Space Sciences: Owing to its collaboration with ISRO, IIT Roorkee is the best.
Manufacturing: Although IIT Roorkee is decent when compared to BITS and KGP, it’s below average.
Life as a medico at KGMU Lucknow is very vibrant and unexpectedly fun. You will enjoy your time here thoroughly and create some amazing memories.

Manipal Institute of Technology does not release branch-wise placement statistics so there isn’t any official data available on that. Moreover, I will suggest you not to choose or reject a college solely based on its placements as there are many more criteria to be considered.

One can judge the worth and credibility of a Brand, Affiliation, Faculty, Return on investment, Infrastructure, Industry Linkage, Location, and Placements. I have done the same through my answer and hope that it clears away all your doubts regarding IIT KGP MBA.
Brand: The IIT tag is more than enough to make any course pursued worthy and credible.
Faculty: IIT Kharagpur's faculty pool is known to have the best professors, especially in Operations and Finance courses.
Pedagogy: The teaching methodology adopted to impart the course content is a case-based approach that ensures a better understanding of real-life business problems.

Infrastructure: IIT Kharagpur boasts top-notch infrastructure, with excellent amenities like sports facilities, a gymnasium, a big library, and a huge campus.
Industry relevance: Most professors conduct research/ consulting work for corporations, so you can get their help during live projects or Internship hunting.
Guest visits: IIT KGP witnesses a number of guest lectures and corporate meets and the college has managed to invite guest faculties and industry experts on campus.
Location: IIT Kharagpur has a very poor location and thus many top recruiters do not visit the campus despite it being an IIT.
Placements: Placements depend upon a lot of factors like work experience, nature of the experience, economic scenario for that year, etc.
VGSOM IIT Kharagpur has recorded 100% placements in 2022. All 97 students who opted for placements were placed during VGSOM placements in 2022. Further, the highest and average packages offered during VGSOM IIT Kharagpur placements 2022 were INR 31.98 LPA and INR 19.36 LPA, respectively.

Survival at KIIT can be judged on the basis of many criteria such as hostel life, campus life, or academics. Consider the following
Initially, the hostel life at KIIT is 6/10 in terms of hardship for survival. In the starting, you have to be punctual and check in at the hostel on time. But once the fresher party is done, you live a considerably free hostel life. There are no major restrictions and every query is taken care of at the reception area.
Campus life: KIIT has one of the most dynamic and vibrant campus life. You don’t have to follow many rules and are a free bird here. A number of societies promote extracurricular activities so make sure to enroll and pursue your passion.
Academic life: The difficulty of academic life varies from individual to individual but on average, it can be rated as 4/10. Attending classes regularly and doing frequent revisions can help you score good marks without any extra effort.
Exams: Sadly, KIIT does not conduct very challenging exams and you can score good marks just by solving the previous year's papers and attending classes regularly.
Lab sessions: The lab sessions are very easy provided that you are interested in them.
So, it can be safely concluded that it’s pretty easy to survive at KIIT. All you need is a positive and consistent attitude.
Every coin has two sides. Similarly the institute NIT Jalandhar has both pros and cons.
Pros-
Friendly ambiance. Seniors are there for support. Ragging is strictly prohibited
The mess food is usually Punjabi and quite delicious
Alot of emphasis is placed on extracurricular activities. There are various clubs like LADS, MADS etc. Various cultural events are also held.
The seniors here are literal genius and interactions with them is very beneficial
Placement opportunities are pretty good at every branch
Proper hygiene facilities and lush green infrastructure add to its ambiance. New lecture halls and departments are under construction.
Great exposure through technical and cultural events Techniti and Utkansh
New short term courses are launched under GIAN (Global Initiative of Academic Networks )
International workshops and conferences that are held frequently help you gain a lot of experience
Cons-
The quality of faculty here is below average. They focus more on bookish knowledge than a broader practical approach.
Technical events resemble cultural events
No assistance is provided for training.
Marks matter more than general excellence. Everyone is in a war to secure the highest CGPA.
The 75% attendance rule works against the favour of many students.
So we can say that the merits overshadow the demerits to a great extent. In fact every NIT has similar cons which are almost uncontrollable. So just be a great learner and focus on your own betterment.
Honestly, I wouldn’t call IIM Kashipur the least preferred but the most underrated IIM. It’s at par with all the IIMs with respect to placements, infrastructure, faculty, student-teacher ratio, and rigor. Yet it’s highly underestimated owing to its single disadvantage of location.
IIMs welcome students from all over India. But the students from South or North-East India find it rather difficult to first travel to Delhi and then travel by Road or Rail to Kashipur. They prefer their comfort over anything.
The other reason is that most IIMs have been able to establish a uniqueness about themselves. IIM Kashipur lacks in this aspect. IIM Rohtak is the oldest and closest to NCR, IIM Udaipur attracts students based on MHRD ratings, IIM Trichy made itself known as a CFA Recognised Institute under the Institute University Recognition Programme and IIM Ranchi has the best placement opportunities. IIM Kashipur has failed to market itself on a particular aspect and thus is underestimated.
IIT Kanpur and IIT Bombay are not even comparable given the advantages IIT Kanpur has over IITB.
Some of the north-eastern NITs are excellent in terms of quality of education and facilities offered such as NIT Silchar, and NIT Agartala. Academics at these NITs can be compared to old NITs such as Durgapur, Kurukshetra, and Raipur.
The rest of the north-eastern NITs are still in the developing period and ranked below the old NITs.
NSIT Branch change Rules
Branch change in NSIT happens after 1st semester. NSUT has unique criteria regarding branch change. If there are vacant seats in the branch of your higher preference(as filled during the choice-filling procedure of JAC Delhi) and your JEE rank is better than other students who applied for branch change, then your branch changed automatically after the first semester. However, if you have filled out the branch freezing form at the time of admission or students who got admission during the spot round cannot change their branch.
DTU branch change
DTU has no branch change policy. In rare cases, if someone from a higher cutoff branch withdraws his admission after the spot round then the seat is filled by those who opted for that branch and not froze their current branch. The chances are almost low though.
