You won’t face any kind of dominance or bias studying at either college. The students are friendly and unless you provoke the other party, no one’s going to interfere in your business or harass you. It’s good to make friends belonging to diverse cultures rather than limiting yourself to certain cultural boundaries.  Usually, IITs and NITs have very friendly seniors and peers and there isn’t ragging in any form.

Remember you are not here just to score a high grade or win medals. Rather, you are here to change your life and yourself and only learning from others' experiences will help you go a long way. So don’t worry and go for either NIT Trichy or NIT Warangal and make the most out of the available resources. Be empathetic and always think from a broader perspective. Only then can you attain new heights. 

Comparing NMIMS to the old IIMs like A, B, C, K, I, and L is completely illogical so let’s not do that. NMIMS Mumbai Campus is still comparable to the new IIMs in certain aspects. It is slightly better than new IIMs. Some points that favor this statement are

• The infrastructure and in-campus facilities are a notch above the new IIMs
• The peers are passionate learners ready to face life challenges that occur as a result of staying in Mumbai.
• Another unique aspect of the college is its induction programs and tours that no other college offers. This helps develop students' confidence and provides maximum exposure to them.
• There is a certain level of harmony between the seniors and juniors 
• The grading system is strict and one cannot miss a class more than the limitations of the course. 
• classroom learning is an exciting experience that involves activities and other interesting learning methods.
• The total marks are a mix of every aspect like trimester exams, attendance, and class participation.
• Various clubs and committees host cultural and social events. They also hold business events which are very beneficial for students aspiring to become managers
• When it comes to placements, the average package in NMIMS is higher than that of new IIMs. Also, Mumbai Campus has 100 percent placement opportunities.

Therefore the excellent bridging of theoretical knowledge and practical approach makes it one of the most coveted B Schools in India.

To get into FMS or XLRI, you will need to meet their specific admission requirements and do well on their entrance exams. Here are the specific eligibility criteria for both the institutes'

FMS eligibility criteria to get admission:

• Candidates applying for admission to the MBA program must have pursued at least a Bachelor‘s Degree program after twelve years of formal schooling with at least 50% marks at graduation level.
• SC/ST, OBC, PWD, CW: 45% passing marks as per the University Rules or equivalent CGPA.
• Candidates appearing for the final year examination for a Bachelor‘s Degree may also apply.

Selection for FMS is done through 2 stages

1. Appearing for CAT conducted by IIMs
2. On being shortlisted, candidates are called for the second round which comprises Extempore Speech, Group Discussion, and Personal Interview (PI).

XLRI Eligibility Criteria:

• Recognized Bachelor's degree of minimum three years duration or equivalent in any discipline. Those completing their final examination by June 10 can also apply.
• All Indian candidates can appear for XAT. However, NRI and foreign candidates may apply either through GMAT score or XAT.

To get admitted to XLRI, the following parameters are considered 

• XAT / GMAT Score
• Essay Writing
• General Knowledge
• Academic Performance and Work Experience
• Group Discussion (GD) And Personal Interview (PI)

Some general advice would be to focus on your academics, get good scores in your entrance exams, and work on any extracurricular activities or leadership experience you may have. 

I have friends from both Manipal University Jaipur and Sikkim Manipal University. Here is a brief comparison of the two institutes based on their experience. 

• Cutoff: According to the recent cutoff trends, the closing cutoff for CSE at MUJ was 10867 while for SMIT it was 34422. It clearly indicates the difference in student crowd at these two branches. 
• Placements: Placements at both are quite similar. However, considering the location of the colleges, MUJ will be a better option. Big MNCs like Amazon visit the MUJ campus for placements. According to the recent placement highlights the highest CTC offered at MUJ was 42 LPA while it was 24 LPA for SMIT.
• Infrastructure: MUJ has a much better infrastructure than SMIT.
• Faculty: Based on my friends’ experiences I will say the faculty at MUJ is better. 

However, SMIT is an older institute. MUJ was recently established and it will take some time to reach the level of the college experience that SMIT provides.

A few of my friends from MUJ complain about the open book system in the examination. According to them, it is a poor way of conducting examinations in undergraduate as you will eventually need to memorize things for competitive examinations. 

The best choice will be to go for the main campus, i.e. MIT Karnataka. Take any branch that you are getting and you can upgrade your branch to CSE, in the second year. The main campus is far better than these two campuses.

CSE at BIT Mesra can easily be considered a good option in contrast to Jadavpur University. Consider the following points

• BIT Mesra is known to have an excellent coding culture which is reflected in the coding skills of the first-year students.
• The seniors are very cooperative and guide you in both coding as well as general issues related to college life.
• BIT Mesra conducts a weekly college-wide coding contest(CQM) held on the LAN to promote coding among students
• The college attracts some huge IT giants and other big MNCs like Facebook, Microsoft, Epic Systems, Flipkart, Directi, Goldman Sachs, DE Shaw, and several others.
• Most students here are so talented that big companies convert their internships to PPOs.

So it can be said that choosing BIT Mesra over Jadavpur University will prove to be more beneficial for you.

Both NIT Trichy, as well as NIT Warangal, are well-reputed engineering colleges of national importance. Both the NITs enjoy similar reputations and not much can be compared between the two. Nevertheless, let's consider the following points of difference.

• Both the NITs have a similar time schedule wherein classes commence in the morning at 8 or 9 a.m. and lunch starts in the afternoon at 1–2 p.m. The classes come to an end by 4 or 5 p.m. in the evening and students are then free to do anything of their choice. 
• Both NITs have a great extracurricular culture promoted through a plethora of clubs, and programs.
• Both NITs have equally good accommodation facilities.
• Both colleges are ragging-free with student-friendly ambiances.
• NIT Trichy serves more south Indian food whereas NUIT Warangal has a good combination of both north and south Indian food.
• NIT Trichy is better in terms of academics while NIT Warangal has a slight edge in terms of placemats. 

In all, both institutes are of similar brand value with very minor differences.

Manipal University Manipal is better than NIT Jaipur. It offers much better placements for CSE. Top recruiters like Amazon, Microsoft, VMware, Goldman Sachs, etc. are some of the major recruiters to hire from the CSE branch. The average CTC offered for the branch is around INR 8-9 LPA. The highest CTC for CSE is around INR 28 LPA. 

Manipal is a bit costly, but it offers better facilities and infrastructure.
