Your decision completely depends on your priority as to what is the most important to you, the branch or the college. Being a graduate from NIT Agartala, I would suggest you go for NIT Agartala rather than NIT Mizoram.
Categories | Production Engineering at NIT Agartala | ECE at NIT Mizoram |
Course Fee | 6.31 lakh | 5.43 lakh |
Highest CTC | 8-10 LPA | 6-7 LPA |
Average CTC | 5.5 LPA | 3.5 - 4 LPA |
Recruiting Companies | L&T, NTPC, JP Morgan, Reliance, etc. | Bharat Electronics Limited, Tech Mahindra, IBM, HP, etc. |
Both branches are equally good in their own ways. But ultimately it is your decision to choose where you want to study. It is suggested that you go for NIT Agartala as it is a more experienced institution than NIT Mizoram.
One of my cousins, being a part of the institute, mentions that NIT Agartala has been amongst the list of most underrated technical institutes all over India. Since it is unfavorably situated in the North East side, which is commonly not the best hub for technical industries.

However, if you drop down to choosing between either of the former institutes, then going for NIT Agartala will unarguably be better than the latter.
Hope this helps answer your query, wish you all the best!
According to my friends at NIT Agartala, it does not provide good placement opportunities and the highest CTC of the college is also decreasing day by day. But the placement at IIIT Allahabad is much better in comparison to NIT Agartala. The ECE placements are not better than CSE but you will get a good job from there.
The placement statistics of IIIT Allahabad and NIT Agartala is as follows:

Also, the infrastructure, faculties, placement, and location are also good at IIIT Allahabad. It is suggested you choose IIIT Allahabad over NIT Agartala.
The short answer is CSE at IIIT Guwahati. If you are primarily interested in programming and coding culture, CSE at IIIT Guwahati is the best choice. However, if you are strongly passionate about any branch then college must not make a huge difference.
I have friends studying in all of these colleges and honestly, they do differ according to their ranking and branch. But if you are keen on CSE then such factors become secondary.
Nevertheless, here are some things you must know before choosing.

Overall, IIIT Guwahati stands as the foremost priority if CSE is your choice. On the other hand, if you are still confused about the branch then go with ME at NIT Silchar without a doubt. Avoid ECE at NIT Agartala as the other two options are much better in terms of everything.
There are many things to consider before choosing a college. It depends on your home town and the distance of your home from the institutes.
