If you are planning between these two, NITC CSE is a really good option. They offer cushy packages and decent companies visit the institute.
According to the recent placement report, the highest package offered is INR 49.75 lakhs per annum with an average of INR 11.58 lakhs per annum. A lot of companies like Aakash AESL, Bosch, Nokia, and HDFC visit the college.
When it comes to MNNIT the course curriculum of both IT and CSE is the same and there is no such difference overall. The placements are good too. The highest CTC offered is INR 49 lakhs per annum whereas the average salary is INR 10.28 lakhs per annum. Companies like BYJU, Amazon, and Capgemini hire students regularly from the campus.
Eventually, it boils down to which college meets your needs better.
I have friends from both Heritage Institute of Technology Kolkata and Maharaja Agrasen Institute of Technology Delhi and based on the conversations that I had with them, I will say the former is a better choice for a CSE degree.
According to my friends, you will find that after enrolling in Maharaja Agrasen Institute of Technology, all you'll have to do is show up for sessionals and assignments. You must attend lessons or else the HOD will contact your parents. However, this opinion varies from person to person.
Here is a brief comparison of the two institutes.
Parameters | Maharaja Agrasen Institute of Technology in Delhi | Heritage Institute of Technology in Kolkata |
Tuition Fees (B.Tech) | 5.73 lakhs | 3.93 lakhs |
Placement Percentage | 85% | 80% |
Average CTC | INR 3.50 LPA | INR 4 LPA |
Overall, Heritage Institute of Technology in Kolkata is definitely a better option as compared to MAIT Delhi for CSE.
Srinagar is ranked 67th by NIRF in all engineering colleges category. Agartala, situated in the north-east is ranked 70th among engineering colleges by NIRF. JEE Mains is the qualifying exam for both these institutions. The fee structure is also similar and is around 1.40 lakhs as the first-year fees.
NIT Srinagar:
In the year 2019, more than 240 students from NIT Srinagar were placed in various companies
The recruiters consisted of MNCs and domestic giants like Punj Lloyd, DRDO, Power Grid, Wipro, Kirloskar Oils, Tata Motors, NTPC, Patel Engineering, American Insurance, Tata Power, Mu Sigma, etc.
CSE and IT branch had 100% placements while all other branches had approximately 70% placement on average.
NIT Agartala:
NIT Agartala conducts highly successful placement drives every year.
A total of 188 students got placed in the placement drive conducted in 2019. Other students opted for higher studies.
The recruiters consisted of various multinational corporations and domestic heavy-weights like Vedanta, L&T Infotech, Infosys, Future Group, Axis Bank, ABB Limited, Ashok Leyland, Samsung, Tech Mahindra, Cognizant, Mphasis, Karvy Group, Future Group, Oracle, Havells, etc.
Infosys recruited the most number of students with 69 job offers.
Almost 90% of students got placed last year with a 100% placement record in CSE & ECE branch.
The placement records of both institutions are quite similar. Students are advised to research other factors as well and not just join based on placement stats of a college.
Having friends at both the institutions, I can say that these are ‘decent ‘colleges. Selecting a stream is more important. I believe you should do some research on your own to obtain the exact picture of now. You can have a better option, of taking admission in Tier I colleges or obtaining a higher CAT score, if possible attempt MAT, with a target of above 95.
In between these institutes, it is suggested that you choose the Jaipuria Institute of Management.

There are certain things you need to consider before applying like your stream of choice, do a thorough alumni check, the salary package offered, etc.
The choice here ultimately comes down to your interest. First, decide whether you are interested in pursuing specialized MBA courses like MBA in finance or are you more inclined towards MBA general where you can opt for a specialization in your second year.
I have some friends at LBSIM Delhi. So, can give you some insight into the institute.
Specializations: You will be having a variety of specializations to choose from if you go for LIBSIM. You will get an enormous amount of exposure in terms of corporate, guest lecturers, meet-ups with major industrialists if you opt for this B-School.
Location: When it comes to location, there is an advantage too, located in Delhi which is India's capital and surrounded by two major industrial hubs, Gurgaon and Noida.
Alumni Base: Alumni base of LIBSIM is strong and the institute has maintained an amazing placement record as well.

I would like you to consider certain important things before making your decision-
According to me your college will last for 4 years. However, your branch will become an intrinsic part of your personality and profession. Unless you have an interest in Metallurgy or a good chance at sliding to another branch, choose CSE at NIT Durgapur.
There is nothing called a better college. One college can be good for you but bad for others. Similarly a college can be bad for someone else but perfect for you. Every college has its own flaws. So it depends on how much you are willing to overlook and get the best results.
Still if I have to make a choice among the above colleges, I will go for NIT Hamirpur. The peaceful ambiance and beautiful infrastructure is worth it.
According to the reviews online, both colleges have their own pros and cons, and here are some comparison points which might help you make an informed decision.
Lastly, it can be seen that PDPU, even being a newer institution has grown a lot compared to other colleges. They are visited by core companies which hire students offering them a salary package of 14-15 LPA. So, it will be better if you go for PDPU as it will give you proper industrial exposure and opportunities.
The simple answer to your question is no, the new HR programs of IIM Ranchi, NMIMS, or XIMB are not at par with the established ones XLRI, TISS, MDI, and SCMHRD. The established programs especially that of XLRI are the epitome of HR programs. They cannot be compared to the new ones at any given level or parameter.
Now one can say that the curriculum can be replicated and learned faculty can be sought to match the quality of the HR program at these institutes. But the truth is faculty and curriculum are the main but not the only factors that determine an institute's worth. Its own culture, ethics, and background have a lot to do with the programs it offers.
So one cannot match XLRIs programs no matter how much they try.
NIT Warangal is better in terms of infrastructure, faculty, campus, faculty, and placement support. But the recruiters prefer students from the software field; the metallurgical students only get an average salary package, which is pitiful.
The decision can be made by giving primary importance to your interests and you should keep in mind that the selection of a better branch decides your future and not the college
