Campus
The comparison between Electronics and Communication at NIT Delhi and Mechanical at PEC Chandigarh is entirely dependent on what the candidate wants, both being completely different streams. But PEC still stands a step ahead, being a more reputed institution.
It's nearly impossible to get any branch in any of the colleges mentioned above. The colleges mentioned above are all NITs in particular NIT Goa, NIT Jaipur, and NIT Delhi.
None of the NITs open admission for the rank of around 180k so it would be better if you should prepare well and appear for the exam in the next year or take admission in any private college. There's no chance that any NIT would offer admission for 180k rank.
No, lateral entry, or direct second-year admission, is not available at NIT Agartala for B.Tech computer science or any other subject. Like all other NITs, NIT Agartala only admits students for the first year of B.Tech through JEE Main and then JoSAA counselling.
NITs do not offer lateral entry (after diploma). The facility is typically available at private and state-level colleges, but not at NITs or other central government institutions.
Colleges like Tripura Institute of Technology (TIT), Agartala, which offers lateral entry B.Tech after diploma, or any state technical university that accepts lateral entry through LEET or state-level entrance exams are options for diploma holders.

Placement at NIT Delhi are good for CSE department. Students are eligible from 7th semester for their placement. Companies like Amazone, Oracle, Goldman sachs visit. Highest placement in 2025 was 58LPA , average package was 17LPA . And around 100% students get placed . I plan to start a business after completing my graduation..
NIT Delhi has a good faculity to student ratio of around 1:15, which allows decent intresction between students and professors. Most faculty members are approachable during office hours, labs and projects discussions. The overall faculty - student relationship is professional and many many professors are supportive when it comes to acedmics, research guidance and higher studies. I like all faculty. The course includes DSA, OS, CN, DBMS and elective from 5th semester..Each semezter has mid sem , end sem exam, assignments, viva, projects, and continious evaluation. Exams are moderate to difficult and logic based. Some students get backlog in math and core subjects. Overall curriculum is relevant and rigorous, helping in placements and higher studies both.
Campus life at NIT Delhi is vibrant or not so good due to limited area of campus. Annual fest Inspire(Feb) and tech fest Innovation (Mar) are highlights. Library has wide books/ journals; classrooms have smart tech board. Sports, clubs and student portals enhance learning and social interaction, creating a balanced campus experienced.
The hostel facilities at NIT Delhi are average and usable, though the campus is still under construction. Most hostels come with single, double, or triple occupancy types of rooms, and these are minimally furnished, Wi-Fi is available, and there are some common areas for socializing. Mess is served with regular meals, but hygiene standards are usually good, though students sometimes depend on their own arrangements for snacks. Sports grounds, indoor games, and study areas can also be found within the hostel premises. There are also some rental apartments for those students who want to stay off-campus, but hostels are still preferred because of the closeness, safety, and integration into the campus life. Generally, the hostel life is comfortable and keeps alive the spirit of a strong community.
