I feel LMNIIT CSE is a much better choice than NIT Agartala CSE provided that you have the financial means to get admission there. Here is why I feel it's better than NIT Agartala
So, is better to look beyond the NIT tag and choose LMNIIT because the tag does not matter much more than academics and placements.
Based on the reviews that I got from my friends at BITS Goa, I will suggest you take ECE, given the chance.
Well, it is true that ECE is new but the department for all the Electrical streams especially the ECE, ENI, and EEE is the same and so are the faculties. In fact, half of the EEE/EnI faculty at the institute have specializations in communication. So, there won’t be a lack of good faculty.
So ultimately what will finally matter is the course and looking at the present scenario even many dual degree students are choosing for ECE over EEE. Overall, it is a great branch to study.
According to some of my friends studying there, the institute has managed to show good placement records every year. Students often receive Pre-placement offers by top companies in their 6th semester after they had training or internship with them.
Placement highlights:
The students of B.Tech score the highest number of placements every year at Thapar University. The institute has even managed to get more than 90% of students placed in the last 6 years. You should make sure to contact a currently enrolled student and know the scenarios.
Computer Science Engineering at IIT Bhubaneswar is not at its full potential under the current situation as compared to other IITs. Being inaugurated in the year 2008, CS still does not have its own separate dedicated department or school and comes under the School of Electrical Sciences. However, the School of Electrical Sciences is one of the fastest-growing schools in IIT Bhubaneswar. This school offers an intensive research-oriented learning environment.
Although IIT Bhubaneswar is still in it’s developing phase, the placement scenario has improved significantly over the years. In 2019 there was 100% placement from the CSE department. The average CTC offered was around 11.5 LPA while the highest went up to 39 LPA. Many MNCs and PSUs took part in the placement drive.
Though still developing, IIT Bhubaneswar offers a decent CSE program both in terms of academics and placements.
I completed my B.E. CSE from BITS Hyderabad in 2021. Thus, I can share with you the placement statistics for my batch.
As on 3rd December 2021, 91.73% was the placement percentage for our batch. The median salary was 27.5 LPA, the highest salary was 43.31 LPA, and the average salary was 26.8 LPA.
These records are quite impressive, and at par with the top IITs, Pilani, Goa, and IIIT Hyderabad. As for placements, BITS Pilani is the best, followed by Goa, and then Hyderabad.
If you are given a choice between IIITA and IIITD, take admission in IIIT Delhi hands down. You will never regret it. IIIT Delhi has everything that a good IT institution needs i.e. Great faculty, excellent domestic and international placements, and an overall great experience.

IIIT DELHI
The cut-off for admission at IIITD ranges from 16694-28261. IIITD has a great set of faculty members and the curriculum is excellent.IIITD lacks diversity. With around 85% of the student community belonging to Delhi, it isn't catering to a pan-Indian audience. IIIT-Delhi students seemed frustrated with the workload and students are left with deadlines every single day and thus have no life out of academics.
IIIT Allahabad
The candidate must have cleared the JEE Mains. The cut off for admission at IIITA ranges from 1291-5330. IIITA has a great coding environment. Faculty is not up to the mark.
They both have a good curriculum but IIIT Delhi has so much more to offer. So If I were you, I would definitely choose IIITD.
To help you choose between UIET and Thapar University, here are a few comparisons-
Thus, after considering various parameters, I would suggest you to opt for Thapar University for your CSE if its high fees is not an issue.
One of my friends studied at Mizoram University (MZU). According to him, it is not a good choice to opt for MZU to pursue engineering.
Here are some reasons why:
Therefore, it is suggested that you do not opt for MZU to study engineering, because it will not be worthwhile. As you will learn less and even fall out of job opportunities.
Go for the one which is nearer. Although, IIIT Lucknow is a fair enough option to consider for chemical engineering. All the above-mentioned colleges are national-level recognized colleges.
You can go for HBTI Kanpur only when you have no other options of IITs or NITs. It is a state-level college and not as reputable as the others.
For Civil Engineering Thapar University placements are great. Here are the recent placement highlights of the branch.
Average CTC | INR 5-6 LPA |
Highest CTC | INR 15 LPA |
Placement rate | 90% |
Percentage of students getting placed in core companies | 25-30% |
JP Morgan, Larsen and Toubro, L&T, are some of the major recruiters that visit the campus placement frequently.
