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

So, if you prioritize skills over money then choose NIT Raipur but if your only goal is to get placed, then NIT Patna will serve you best.

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.

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. 

IIIT Guwahati is a relatively new institute so its placement might not be at par with NITSilchar. Here is a brief comparison of the placement statistics of both institutes

Moreover, the academic environment is much better at NIT Silchar than at IIIT Guwahati. As for the location, NIT Silchar is gradually overcoming all connectivity issues and the situation is only going to get better. 

Ultimately, the final choice depends on your preferences. If you are inclined towards Mechanical, choose NIT Silchar but if you want to pursue a career in CS, definitely go for IIIT Guwahati.

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.

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.

IIIT Guwahati is a relatively new institute so its placement might not be at par with NITSilchar. Here is a brief comparison of the placement statistics of both institutes

Moreover, the academic environment is much better at NIT Silchar than at IIIT Guwahati. As for the location, NIT Silchar is gradually overcoming all connectivity issues and the situation is only going to get better.
