I know people from both NIT Allahabad and NIT Surathkal and based on the reviews I got from them, I will say the former is better. Choose Civil Engineering, only if you are genuinely interested in the branch. If you want placement after the completion of the course, you will have to work hard as there are not many core companies visiting the campus placement drive. However, the placement record for NIT Allahabad is better as compared to NIT Surathkal.
Here are some of the other reasons why you should give preference to NIT Allahabad.
Average CTC |
7.35 LPA |
Highest CTC |

However, before you decide on any college you should do your own research on the branch at both institutes.
Given to choose, TAPMI is the college I would like to go based on ROI, faculties, Pedagogy, curriculum and placements. TAPMI’s NIRF 2022 rank is also 38th in the country which is above some 3rd gen IIMs. It is also accredited by AACSB (Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business) and AMBA.
It is also equipped with state of the art labs like Finance Lab, Analytics lab, Operations Lab and Creativity lab.
It offers Merit based scholarships to 50 students every year. Scholarships are awarded to students by categorizing them into four categories such as Category I, II, III and IV.
NL Dalmia has a specific focus on finance, which makes it a good option for candidates looking to specialize in finance. On the other hand, PUMBA offers a more general management education with a focus on practical learning and industry exposure.
BIMTECH, Greater Noida offers a good curriculum with a focus on innovation and entrepreneurship. The institute has a strong industry connection and offers a variety of electives to choose from. However, its ranking is lower than NL Dalmia and PUMBA.My sister did her B.Tech from NIT Kurukshetra as it is one of the top-rated NIT and she had a wonderful time there.
So, I would suggest you to go for Electrical Engineering at NIT Kurukshetra. However to help you make a better decision here’s a comparison between the three colleges:
Particulars |
NIT Kurukshetra (EE) |
IIIT Lucknow (CSE) |
IIIT Guwahati (CSE) |
Fees (total) |
2.36 lacs |
9.72 lacs |
9 lacs |

18.4 LPA |
10.2 LPA |

76% |
If you choose a better college over a branch then you will have an advantage during placements as companies would be aching to visit for hiring new students. You can have a better branch but it won’t matter as you wouldn’t get enough placement opportunities. Students from NIT are placed in some of the top multinational companies.
Without a doubt, IIEST Shibpur is the definite better choice among the two institutes for Civil Engineering and is indeed one of the best Civil Engineering departments in the country. My friends who study at IIEST Shibpur boast about their college, that it is great in so many ways.
The points below state some reasons as to why -
Categories |
Civil Engineering at IIEST Shibpur |
Course Fee |
1.55 lakh |
Highest CTC |
20 LPA |
Average CTC |
8-12 LPA |
Recruiting Companies |
Tata Steel, Coal India, Shapoorji Pallonji, L&T, etc. |
Therefore, Civil Engineering in IIEST Shibpur is at its best among almost all the Civil Engineering departments in India and so is definitely a great choice.
Among RIMS Imphal and NEIGRIHMS Shillong, the latter is a better option. In the northeastern region, it is the first post-graduate medical institute. It is an autonomous institute, which is run by the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare. The faculties at the institute are great. Many guest speakers visit the institute from Delhi. It also has a better patient flow. Although the campus of NEIGRIHMS is smaller as compared to RIMS Imphal, it offers better infrastructure.
One of my friends studied at SIBM and according to him, the college is known for its placements. Small batches and teaching standards. They only accept SNAP scores.
Although both NIDM and SIBM Hyderabad are very good management institutions you should choose SIBM Hyderabad because of the following reasons:
Categories |
SIBM Hyderabad |
Course Fee |
1.52 lakh |
Highest CTC |
10.8 -12 LPA |
Average CTC |
6 - 7.5 LPA |
The placement cell is very dedicated and will help you in getting good placements. Reputed MNCs like Amazon, Deloitte, EPAM, ICICI, IndusInd Bank, etc. visit the campus every year.
Yes IT and CS are both similar in nature. There is no such difference in the curriculum as well. Both the streams get equal job and placement opportunities. Even the mechanical students learn to code for getting placements.
KJ Somaiya is an autonomous institution and you will get an advantage due to this. The placements at KJ Somaiya are much better than VESIT.
The placement statistics of KJ Somaiaya is as follows:
Highest CTC offered |
INR 40 LPA. |
Average CTC offered |
INR 5.71 LPA. |
No of companies visited |
64 |
No of IT students places |
160 |
No of CSE students placed |
157 |
Both the IT stream and CS streams get similar kinds of positions in the market. You should definitely go for IT from KJ Somaiya College.
PEC Chandigarh and NIT Meghalaya, neither of them are good colleges as of now due to some major reasons.
NIT Meghalaya:
PEC Chandigarh:
It is suggested to take a year drop and start preparing for JEE Main properly and aim to score higher marks. Appear for the January exam and not the April exam as almost every student targets for it and it can be very difficult to score higher rankings as competition will get very tough. January exam will have less competition and it will be easy to get higher rankings which can indeed open possibilities to get admission in one of the top IITs or NITs.
XIMB-HR and XAHR are both one and the same. The former has been renamed to the latter. XAHR ranks above IMI New Delhi in HR. Not because of the placement prospectus but because of the faculties. Most of the faculties are from have great industry experience.
The course is as per the global standards of SHRM. They provides 100% placement in both finals and summers.
You also get the experience of the outbound learning program organized by TSAF or TATA steel adventure foundation. The new campus is a little outside the main city and the only advantage of IMI New Delhi is its location. XIMB-HR and XAHR are both one and the same.
