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

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.

Both fields come with their own pros and cons.

NIT Rourkela in a nutshell.

There are some subjects that are not related to the branch but we have to study them for grades so i think those subjects should be removed.The subjects should be related to the branch.
There is a 85% attendance in NIT Rourkela and it is strict. So we have to attend the classes even if we don't like some of them.Skipping classes can result in penalty. I think it should be 75% like other colleges.

Total Fees i am paying yearwise is around 200000-210000 as in the first semester i paid 136000 but after that i have paid around 100000 for every semester and i think most likely it will be 100000 tile the end of the fourth year.1 year has two semesters. For any semester tution fess is 62500. Other fess include activity fees- 2000, medical fee-2000,hostel seat rent -5000, and exam / library fees-5000. F The hostel fees has two parts establishment fee which is 5000 and mess fee 18000-20000. For students whose income is less tha 500000 per annum they give 1/3 pf the tution fees which is around 20700. For students whose income is less than 100000 or SC/ST students they don't give any tution fees.

Not the best but quite good college

This college has a lot of branches for engineering including Management

The tuition fee is very similar to other nits. Other fees are also very affordable but recently the mess fee has increased by approximately twice the previous one . And the mess food is also not very good.
