Having a few friends studying in both of these institutes, I can provide you with some details based on my interaction with them. IIIT Guwahati and NIT Silchar are both institutes of national importance. The NIRF Ranking for Engineering 2020 is 66 and 46 respectively. If you want to join the Electrical and Electronics Engineering (EEE) branch, IIIT Guwahati is the only choice because NIT Silchar does not offer this branch.

My life in IIITG

The fee structure is obviously mediocre. Not too high or too low, 12 lakhs approx for 4 years. There's no reduction in fees for category students. Hostel charges are seperate and cost around 12500 along with the mess charge of 4000. You can get scholarships if you are an OBC and apply on time.
