Which is better, electrical at IIT Bhubaneswar, IIT Dhanbad or NIT Trichy?
NIT Trichy offers a great learning experience, especially in CS. EE at IIT Dhanbad and IIT Bhubaneshwar is also decent and the placements are quite good and with either of the IITs, you would get that IIT tag. So, it actually boils down to your choice between an IIT and NIT and if you want to give preference to IITs.
The average package for EE at NIT Trichy was around 6 LPA with a 97% placement rate for EE students. On the other hand, for IIT Dhanbad, the placement percentage was 76% with the average package of around 15.5 LPA. In IIT Bhubaneshwar, the average package for 2019 was around 11 LPA and the placement rate was around 86% from EE.
Although, the tag isn’t only something one should go after. NIT Trichy’s EE is excellent and the placements are equally great. Good infrastructure, excellent teachers, and a decent learning and developing environment are what one should seek, and thereby, NIT Trichy would be an excellent choice since IIT Dhanbad and IIT Bhubaneshwar are newer IITs. NIT Trichy, Warangal, Surathkal are better than most IITs.
So, it completely comes down to your personal preference.
Which one to choose, lower NIT or College of engineering, Pune or DTU ?
DTU is a tier 1 engineering college and has a distinct legacy of its own. It is one of the oldest engineering institutes in India and according to the 2020 NIRF Ranking, it ranks 34th among the top technological institutes in India. The placement scenario at DTU is quite impressive and students receive an average package of 6.5 LPA on placement drive.
Although COEP is also a reputed college, most of the students are local and Marathi speaking. So if you are comfortable in Marathi and can strike a balance between Marathi and English, then you might consider COEP. The biggest advantage of COEP is it is located in the automation hub Pune which helps in the placement, especially for the mechanical branch.
Although the ‘NIT’ tag offers certain advantages, except for IT and ME branches the placement scenario in lower NIT’s is not up to the mark. Besides, these lower-ranked colleges also offer fewer opportunities for startups and entrepreneurship. DTU on the other hand has an excellent coding culture and conducts a vast number of fests for coders. However, a major difference between DTU and lower NITs is that the fee in the latter is much less as compared to the institute fees in the former. All NITs have a common fee structure as they all come under the reserved list of “Centrally Sponsored Institutes”. Furthermore, NITs also offer many scholarships for students.
However, considering all the aspects and the associated pros and cons, DTU should be the first choice.

Is IIM Kashipur worth joining or should I join NIT Trichy and reappear for the CAT?
IIM Kashipur was founded in 2010 and will celebrate its 12th anniversary in 2022. It has a phenomenal alumni base, faculty, and campus. It has everything you could want in a good business school.
NIT Trichy is not a business school. Their MBA program can never be compared to that of IIMs. So enrolling in NIT Trichy and reapplying for the CAT makes no sense. If you simply want to reappear, you should not enroll in NIT T and waste a year.
And if you are a GEM and are confident of getting a 99+ percentile, only reappear because you will only get calls from Old IIMs and other top 10 B-schools if you have good academics. If you need to do an MBA this year, IIM Kashipur is a good option. If not, make a good percentile and reappear.
