One of my friends has graduated from NIT Bhopal and knows the ins and outs of the college. Its infrastructure, its internal politics, quality of education, mess facilities, and against all odds its successful placements record.

Apart from just this, there are other factors that make NIT Bhopal more acceptable as compared to NIT Jamshedpur.

• NIT Bhopal will be a better choice as its reputation is higher than Jamshedpur. 
• The placements in NIT Bhopal are better than NIT Jamshedpur. 
• Faculty are experienced in both but I will say NIT Bhopal has its extremity.
• When we talk about infrastructure NIT Bhopal again wins it here. Against the dilapidated hostels of NIT Jamshedpur is the modest, home-like, hostels of NIT Bhopal with a 24x7 power supply. 
• Moreover, the mess is the place where half of the major fun takes place. 

Discussions, criticizing the teachers and the grading system, curse surprise tests all this amidst “enjoying” the mess food.

For the students of the first year who are studying in NLSIU, it is compulsory for them to stay in hostels. However, the option of going home on weekends will always be open for them. Just fill up a permission form and you are good to go. Someone I know used to be a student of NLSIU and she and her batchmates used to visit their families this way.

If you live in Bangalore, you can travel from your house to the institute without asking for permission.

After you have completed your first year you will be able to live off-campus. Knowing the busy traffic of Bangalore, it may get difficult to travel to and from the campus.

This is not allowed in NALSAR, though. You will have to spend the entirety of your course in the hostels.

The table given below gives a brief overview of both institutes:

Considering the placement stats after doing a lot of research, one thing is very clear that IIEST ends up with 100% placements every year among which 2-3 CSE/IT students get placed in top-notch companies like Google, Microsoft at an exorbitant compensation package as compares to average package figure of the institute. However, from an independent perspective, the average salary is still at the bottom-line if you consider other tiers 2 colleges. There are certain reasons for it such as:

Recognition:

This is one of the major reasons for such placement stats. Almost nobody outside West Bengal knows that there is an Engineering college name IIEST Shibpur and the same happens with the recruiters as well. People might ask you such questions like where is your college located. Which is this college? Etc.

Alumni Network: 

IIEST Shibpur does not have a very strong alumni base in the companies that can influence the companies to conduct any recruitment drive in the college.

Placement Cell:

Most of the students of IIEST Shibpur will agree to the fact that the institute really needs to work upon its existing placement coordination procedure.

Overall, the institute needs to work hard on their placement cells if they want to improve the placement stats. Then only there will be a scope that students of IIEST Shibpur will get some placements.
