BITS Goa is anytime better than all the NITs in India. The following are the reasons.

• BITS Goa has a huge brand name. It is a Tier-1 engineering college in India.
• The placement of the institute is excellent as compared to VNIT. BITS Goa has an average 90% placement success rate.

• The infrastructure of the college is breathtaking. There are various facilities like well-equipped separate hostels and mess for boys and girls, SAC (student activity center) for a wide range of sports, guest accommodation, medical center, central library, computer labs, and different laboratories.

Overall, the fee of BITS Goa is on the higher side. But it is worth paying for its brand name. BITS Goa offers a lot of scope to the students and encourages the holistic development of the individuals. Even the faculty is experienced and helpful.

Well, the answer to this question depends on your choice of discipline and score in the entrance exam. If you secured a good rank in the JCECE exam and a bit low rank in JEE Mains then it is recommended to opt for your favorite branch in BIT Sindri. If you are getting the same branch in NIT Raipur then placement figures will definitely fluctuate. 

Infrastructure: 

Talking about infrastructure, NIT Raipur is way better than BIT Sindri. Though the campus is BIT Sindri is large but the buildings, as well as the hostels, require a lot of renovation. 

Type of Institute:

Apart from that, NIT is a national level institute while BIT Sindri is regional due to which NIT provides you better exposure. 

Faculties: 

The faculties at NIT colleges are well educated as well as experienced. At BIT Sindri, there is a lack of guidance due to the inefficiency of faculties in many subjects.

So, if you decide to choose among both of these colleges, it is recommended to go through the placement records of the past few years as well as the type of companies visiting the campus. Ultimately, it's your decision so choose wisely.
