This is one of the most debatable questions. Both NIT Trichy and BITS Hyderabad are well-known institutions that have their strengths and weaknesses.

Here are a few parameters on which one can compare the two-

• Reputation: BITS Hyderabad was established in the year 2008, and NIT Trichy was established in 1964. NIT Trichy is ranked 9th in the NIRF Rankings 2023 for Engineering and is consistently listed among the top 10 Engineering institutions in India.

• Peer groups: Both institutes are good and can not be compared because both institutions select candidates through different entrance exams.

• Location: BITS Hyderabad is better in terms of location because Hyderabad is a better city than Tiruchirapalli.

• Reservation: NIT Trichy does have reserved seats while BITS Hyderabad does not.

• Cost of Study: NIT Trichy costs around 10 Lakhs, while BITS Hyderabad goes to around 22 Lakhs.

• Infrastructure- Both the institutions have a good infrastructure but the BITS Hyderabad infrastructure is better.

• Placements- The average package at both is at par but Apple visits BITS Hyderabad which is a point in its favor.

If the fee is a matter of concern, I would suggest you go with NIT Trichy. Also, for Mechanical Engineering, NIT Trichy is an ideal place. For a JEE aspirant, NIT Trichy is a dream come true. 

My personal preference is in this order-

1. NIT Trichy
2. NIT Surathkal
3. NIT Warangal
4. MNNIT Allahabad
5. NIT Rourkela ~ BITS Hyderabad
6. MNIT Jaipur

Both NIT Trichy and BITS Hyderabad are equally good institutions and you can choose either of the two after considering each of the above aspects. 

MANIT Bhopal and NIT Kurukshetra are both renowned engineering colleges, and have their own strengths and weaknesses. 

As far as placements are concerned, here are the details of 2022 B.Tech placements at both of them-

Both the colleges offer decent placement opportunities in various B.Tech courses. As far as the branch-wise curriculum, faculty, etc. are concerned, you should consult seniors from both these colleges to get a clearer picture. 

Try to find the branch of your interest,and then research on which of the two is a better option for that particular field. 

IT in SGSITS is better than CSE in IET DAVV. It is older and more recognized in the industry. It has an excellent student crowd. The environment on campus is competitive. 

SGSITS placements are great for IT, due to the legacy of the institute. The median CTC of the branch is INR 5 LPA. L&T Infotech, ZS Associates India Pvt. Ltd., and Adani Group are some of the major recruiters for the branch.

IIM Kozhikode and IIM Lucknow are both highly reputed institutions in the field of management education in India offering top-quality education. However, they seem to have some differences in terms of their focus areas and curriculum.cIM Kozhikode focuses more on research and academics with an upper hand in the areas of finance and economics. IIM Lucknow on the other hand is known for its focus on management education and its strong reputation in the areas of marketing and human resources. My friend was a student of IIM Kozhikode but stayed at IIM Lucknow for a while so he had a picture of both the institutes.

• IIM Kozhikode fairs better in terms of climate and weather conditions than IIM Lucknow
• IIM Lucknow has a better quantity and quality of recruiters during the placement season
• South Indians are more friendly than people in Lucknow
• IIM Kozhikode has better opportunities in terms of student Exchange programs.
• IIM Kozhikode offers a better campus view and has a serene ambiance in comparison to IIM Lucknow which is mostly arid dryland.
• The food offered at both the institutes may highly vary in taste but the quality is equally good.

Both institutes have a strong alumni network and good placement records. Ultimately, the choice between the two will depend on the individual's interests and career goals.

There are two options available to you. Choose between IIIT Jabalpur and NIT Raipur for CSE.

Why choose NIT Raipur?

• As of now, the placement scenario is favorable.
• Seniors would provide you with sound advice.
• There is a greater emphasis on practical hands-on experience among peers.
• The highest salary package offered to three students was 32.5 LPA, and the lowest salary package offered was 6 LPA.
• You'd almost certainly get a job.

NIT Raipur, why not?

• If you want to pursue higher education, NIT Raipur is a no-go.
• There are few opportunities for research.
• The brand name NIT does not help with the GRE.
• Higher education is entirely theoretical. Peers get together and must put in extra effort to gain hands-on experience.
• The syllabus is not focused on the current business world.

Why choose IIIT Jabalpur?

• It would teach you CSE from the first year, unlike other NITs, which require you to study common subjects like chemical, civil, and mechanical engineering.
• The placement scenario is nearly identical to that of NIT Raipur. However, it will improve as IIIT Jabalpur improves.
• There will be far more research opportunities than at NIT Raipur.
• The brand name may be beneficial for the GRE.
• The IIIT experience is more enriching than the NIT experience.
• IIIT Jabalpur has a competitive coding culture.

Why not IIIT Jamshedpur?

• The students have stern words for IIIT Jabalpur.
• The situation is similar at NIT Raipur but much more serious.
• Jabalpur is not a pleasant city to visit.
• It is in the lower echelons of IIITs that Extra-curricular activities are not spectacular.

I would like to highlight a few points in favor of choosing IT at NIT Surathkal-

1. IT and CSE have more or less the same curriculum.
2. NITK offers excellent placements. This is especially true for circuital branches- CSE, IT, ECE and EEE. Top students from these branches are offered placements at brands like Google and Microsoft.
3. NITK is a brand in itself. Since it is an NIT, it offers much more exposure and opportunities. 
4. NITK admits JEE Mains toppers from all across the country. So it has a very rich crowd.
5. As a Bangalorean, you can frequently visit home from NITK. 
6. As a hosteller at NITK, you’ll learn important life skills. 

Thus, based on these factors, I would recommend you choose IT at NIT Surathkal over CS at RVCE Bangalore.

The final decision should be solely based on your interest in the core subject. Here is a detailed comparison of both IIT Delhi and BITS Pilani

Brand Value – Today, IIT has more brand value than BITS since it is one of the most rapidly advancing institutes in India. But there was a time when BITS was considered the top brand, and as time passed, the interest and perspectives of the students also changed.

Curriculum – IIT Delhi has the most updated curriculum structure, which is absent at BITS Pilani. If you are into the software field, IIT Delhi would be a better choice; they gave you the opportunity to explore Python, Java, and Linux in the first year itself.

Location – IIT Delhi is situated in the center of the city, which is far better than the location of BITS Pilani, which is situated in a remote area

Infrastructure – BITS Pilani is one of the oldest institutes in India, so they lack good infrastructure. Meanwhile, IIT Delhi has air-conditioned classrooms, projectors, and well-equipped research labs.

Campus Life and Hostel Life – BITS Pilani offers a more social life to the students than IIT Delhi. Life inside the campus and hostel is extremely beautiful at BITS Pilani

Getting into IIT is a big achievement only if you manage to choose the right branch for yourself.

You should analyze your ambitions and interests in a particular field and determine what you possibly imagine yourself to be doing in 5 years and then make an informed decision. Clarity of goals is extremely necessary to make this crucial decision of choosing a branch.

If you want to enter politics, then your branch hardly matters. 

If you want to become an entrepreneur try to get an idea of the type of company you want to start

Basically, the choice of the branch is strictly a personal preference and cannot be objectively decided.
