Which is better, VNIT for metallurgy or NIT Raipur for IT?

One of my acquaintances who has graduated from VNIT has asked me to choose my institute by keeping the following points in mind. VNIT for metallurgy would be a suitable choice for you if you don’t have a particular liking. Apart from that, the metallurgy of VNIT holds an enviable position in India. The syllabus for metallurgy is vast and involves a lot of memorization. If you want CS and unfortunately end up not getting it, the next logical step would be to choose IT. The syllabus of IT and CS are almost the same. In the big picture, it will have little importance if you complete your B.Tech from VNIT or NIT Raipur. You will have a degree and you will not regret the decision you made. IT has a lot of scopes. Later down the road, if you want to continue with your higher studies, you will be capable of switching to almost any department pertaining to computers. IT from NIT Raipur is an excellent choice. The scope in the metallurgy sector is limited nowadays. It is obviously your call, though. There is vast scope in IT like research, job, etc.

VNIT- The paradise as well as hell

Per semester fees is 133000 as tuition fee. for SC ST and PWD students there is 100% fee waiver and hence no tuition fee but they have to pay the hostel fees if and only if they are opting for it.For general obc or ews students with parental income less than 500000 , they get 67% fee waiver. But at the start of the each semester they have to pay the entire fees and at the end they get refund of 67% fees. hostel fees is 64500 per year for everyone. But everyone can get an educational loan from SBI VNIT branch ver easily so there should be no financial issues.

My first year experience at Vnit Nagpur

Visvesvaraya national Institute of technology nagpur is a tier 1 nit and being a national Institute it's fees are very nominal for btech. Per semester, it's around 67750 rupees as the tuition fees for general students. For obc and ews it's only 1/3rd pf this and for sc , st it's completely free. It includes a caution fee at the start of course. There are a lot of merit based scholar ships available in this Institute.
