I am confused over joining IIIT Guwahati and NIT Silchar for Computer Science branch. Many of my friends have warned me of poor teaching in IIITG. How far is it true?

Both the colleges are not very good. But if you want to choose between IIIT Guwahati and NIT Silchar then it would be better to choose NIT Silchar. Because at IIIT Guwahati, the administration, infrastructure, and faculty members are not so good. If you will face any problem in the college then the administration does not even care. You will have to survive on your own.

NIT Silchar has better infrastructure as compared to IIIT Guwahati. The student union of the college will take care of the problems and they will raise their voices against them. If you have the option of not choosing northeastern colleges then you must go ahead. At the end of the day, it depends upon you how you want to spend your four years in college.

Which is better for CSE, NIT Patna, Silchar, or Raipur regarding placement?

SR
Sushmita Rajput Posted On : September 1st, 2023
Lives in Patna

In my opinion, choosing NIT Raipur is the best for CSE. CSE branch requires inculcating skills that will give you an upper hand in placements. The faculty, curriculum, and the institute do not matter much. That being said, NIT Raipur seems to be the best option because it has flexible attendance policies. You might lose a few marks in your TA if you skip classes often but trust me that doesn't really matter in the long run. You will be preparing yourself for something big in exchange. 

However, if you want to base your choice on placement statistics, you can refer to the table below

Is NIT Patna better than NIT Silchar?

SK
Sanjana Kapoor Posted On : October 19th, 2023
Lives in New Delhi

NIT Silchar is a leading and highly reputed institution, as it is the oldest one. NIT Silchar has better faculties, placement support, a resourceful atmosphere, and infrastructure, but the weather conditions are very bad. If you want to explore North India, then you can opt for NIT Patna; otherwise, you can go with the option of NIT Silchar for a better future.

Which is the better choice in terms of placements, NIT Silchar Civil or NIT Sikkim ECE?

AB
Akriti Banerjee Posted On : August 31st, 2023
lives in New Delhi

It is difficult for me to say which department is better NIT Silchar Civil and NIT Sikkim ECE as both have their own strengths and weaknesses. I recommend researching both options and considering factors such as program curriculum, faculty, research opportunities, and job prospects before making a decision. 

From what I know, ECE is a better branch than Civil in terms of job opportunities in India. However, if you consider the institutes, NIT Silchar is much better than NIT Sikkim. NIT Silchar Civil department has many experienced and qualified faculty. Usually, PSUs recruit the students of this branch, and the core jobs are limited. 

I dont think you should choose NIT Sikkim ECE as it's a relatively new institute and hasn't established a strong rapport with the recruiters yet.

Ultimately, the decision depends on your personal preferences and career prospects.

Which is better, NIT Silchar's electrical or NIT Surathkal's metallurgy?

TA
Tithi Aggrawal Posted On : August 31st, 2023
Lives in New Delhi

One of my friends studied in NIT Silchar and also has friends in NIT Hamirpur. I asked him the same question and he claimed NIT Hamirpur to be a better choice. 

Stating reasons for the same he said:

  • NIT Hamirpur campus is extremely beautiful and well-equipped with modern facilities.
  • The level of academics is better at NIT Hamirpur than at NIT Silchar.
  • The faculty pool of NIT Harimpirbis more experienced and approachable.

The major issue that NIT Silchar faces is the connectivity between cities. As a result, many recruiters are interested in coming here affecting the placement scenario and crowd quality largely. NIT Hamirpur on the other hand is located close to Delhibso the exposure r and opportunities are better.

Which is better in terms of academics for CSE, placement, fee and location, NIT Arunachal, NIT Silchar or PEC Chandigarh?

MA
Madhav Aneja Posted On : August 31st, 2023
Lived in Chandigarh, India

My sister is an alumnus of NIT Arunachal Pradesh and has also visited NIT Silchar several times. As per her experience, the preference order to follow while making a choice between these institutes should be 

  • NIT Silchar > NIT Arunachal Pradesh>PEC

The reason I placed NIT Silchar first is because it has better rankings, and even the connectivity issues have been resolved. One can now reach Silchar by road, train and via air. This has improved the placement scenario to a great extent.

Is it better to take metallurgy in NIT Rourkela or electrical in NIT Silchar?

RH
Rituparna Hazra Posted On : July 5th, 2021
B.Tech in E.C.E from National Institute of Technology Silchar (2020)

You need to compare the two universities to make a decision between the two. Having friends studying in both the institutes, I might be able to help you with the question.

Metallurgy at NIT Rourkela:

  • Campus-wise, the college has a very large campus.
  • But, if you are planning to pursue metallurgy, let me tell you that you will have lesser job opportunities in both the public and private sectors in India.
  • You might have to shift to another country to get a well-paying job and earn decently in your field of study.

Electrical at NIT Silchar:

  • There are also some really good facilities here including the largest digital library in South Asia.
  • The campus is really good too.
  • The placement records are amazing. Moreover, electrical is an evergreen branch with decent scope in the public sector. This would surely make a good alternative.
