National Institute of Technology - [NIT], Jamshedpur

No, VIT is not better than NITs at all. In fact, its a private engineering college so it will cost you much more than studying at a government college like NIT. Here is why I think NITs in general or NIT Durgapur, in particular, is better than VIT

• Although NITs have a reservation policy, it does not suck as much as the Management Quota at VIT that lets in a huge number of average students.
• The placement statistics clearly put NIT Durgapur ahead of VIT. 
• NIT Durgapur has a rich legacy and is highly reputed among recruiters. 
• You will get the advantage of the NIT tag and one can deny the fact that it does give you an edge over others

Here is a brief overview of these colleges

Ultimately, it depends on your passion for studying because if you are passionate enough, even an average college will bring out the best in you.

Honestly, I don’t know if there is any bias between the students of IIIT Ranchi and NIT Jamshedpur. However, I can point out some common differences between these institutes that might help you get the answer yourself

• Infrastructure: NIT Jamshedpur has very poor infrastructure and the campus has 1960s buildings with poorly equipped classrooms. IIIT Ranchi on the other hand has air-conditioning and hygienic learning conditions.
• Curriculum: IIIT Ranchi has a CS-tailored curriculum whereas NIT has diverse branches so the curriculum is quite different. 
• Campus life: Both the institutes have an active campus life with NIT Jamshedpur having a slight advantage in terms of the students-run clubs like RAYS, DAKSH, REVANTA, DRIFT, etc .
• Crowd: IIIT Ranchi has no Home State Quota so the crowd is much more diverse and talented than NIT Jamshedpur. 
• Hostel: The hostel and mess facilities of both institutes are similar. 

Here is a detailed comparison of these institutes

BIT Mesra is better than NIT Jamshedpur, especially for branches like Computer Science and Information Technology. It offers excellent placements for these branches. Companies such as Microsoft, Amazon, Walmart, Direct-I, etc. recruit from the institute. While many of these institutes don’t visit NITJ. According to the recent highlights of BIT Mesra placement, the average package for CSE is around INR 13 LPA.
