I have a friend from NIT Goa and according to him, it will be really tough to get into NIT GOA with these statistics. The number of seats at NIT GOA is very few but also many of the students prefer it for its culture.

Here is the 2021 course-wise JEE cutoff for NIT Goa. 

This should give you an idea about the cutoff required at NIT Goa. 

If you are a General category, Goa origin student then 70,000 should be enough to get you a seat. With your rank, you can get a seat for Mech or Civil. You have a good chance to get EEE or ECE too. 

Here is the recent cutoff for the branches. 

This should give you an idea about the cutoff required for NIT Goa. 

According to some of my friends studying at NIT Goa, their hostel facilities are not that great in all terms be it food, internet, and cleanliness. 

• No one can find good food at any hostel but it at least should be hygienic. 
• The internet speed is also not that great and on top of that students use that for entertainment purposes. 
• When it comes to cleanliness, It is even worse than the food and the internet. 
• The hostel which NIT Goa provides in the final year is the worst. It is recommended that you stay outside rather than live in the hostels like the M.Tech students. 
• The only thing you need to do to stay out of the hostels is to manage the transportation, and then you are good to go. 

Hence, it is quite evident that it's not worth staying in the NIT Goa hostels and a student should prefer to stay out as paying guests or flats.

One of my friends is a student of NIT Goa and according to him, the new campus is being built at Cuncolim, Goa.

Most essentially, the director of NIT Goa once went on to mention that the new campus of the institute would be established within 1 and a half years, back in December 2020. As of now, it seems that the construction will last until mid-2022. 

However, the anticipation of the final construction date cannot be determined. But since there is a locational advantage, the campus would be a successful attempt in the near future. Besides, students will have access to beaches in close proximity to South Goa. 

At present, the construction is at the very initial stage, while the office of construction has only been recently set up. 

According to the 2021 cutoff trend, the required cutoff of CSE for OBC category students is 14577 (HS). If you are an out-of-state student then the cutoff is 3779. So, getting admission to the institute will be tough if you are not a resident of Goa. 

The counseling process is done based on the AIR and not the category rank. The category rank is just a measure to rank you in your particular category. If your category is OBC NCL then your category rank would be the position among the other OBC students who had appeared for the examination. 

Both the institutes are famous. But for the CSE branch, NIT Goa is the better alternative. The reason is placement and recruiters that visit the campus are much better than IIITM. The placement statistics of NIT Goa are below.

But if you are looking for an excellent hostel and campus life, NITG is not a choice for you. NITG does not have its campus. The current batches adjust in the campus provided by Goa Engineering College (GEC).

There's a change in rules and the student's thinking manner every year and also the cut-off changes. So, these are the factors to attain admission in NIT Goa or any other lower-ranked NIT. Some new rules are imposed every year. 

To be safe and have admission in NIT Goa or any other lower-ranked NIT, the OBC students could attain a score of 150 out of 360. Through this score, a student from the OBC category can have admission to the average NIT. 

This is not the score for the general category students as they need to attain a higher score because of the reservation policies. 

The preference should be firstly based on the branch and not on the colleges. Opt for the college where you get the branch of your choice. It's not college that matters but rather it's the branch. If you get the branch of your choice, you will be more likely to study that well and attain a successful future. 

• If you are more into the programming languages, the technology and are passionate about learning the subjects associated with the CSE, then opt for GEC as there's nothing above the branch. 
• If you have an interest in EEE, opt straight for the NIT Goa as it is an institute that will never disappoint in terms of placement, academics, faculties, or higher studies. 
• NIT Goa is a brand in itself. But opt for it only if you are sure about the branch.

If you think that you will take EEE in NIT Goa and then change the branch to CSE, then it's nearly impossible. There are high cut offs for changing the branch and it happens after following a certain set of rules that is not possible. So choose wisely as your career depends on it.

Basically, a comparison between the colleges can be made according to the choices and interests of the students. The various factors are taken into consideration when we are choosing M.Tech in VLSI. 

• NIT Goa owns a very attractive and appealing infrastructure. 
• At the same time, the college usually focuses on the holistic development of students rather than just focusing on academics. 
• Also, NIT Goa has well-qualified faculty members imparting quality education to all the students. 
• Also check the fees, placement statistics, and the number of students who got placed in various companies. 
• The course fee for M.Tech students is affordable, unlike many other popular colleges.

NIT Goa has affordable fees and decent placement offers can be a preferred option for many. So before making the choice weigh all the pros and cons before getting admission in the college.

Some of my friends studied at NIT Goa, so I might be able to answer your question. You can afterward analyze it and see if it matches your expectations.

• The faculty at NIT Goa at the initial phase was very ordinary. 
• Most of the faculty was the graduates who have completed their graduation recently. 
• The initial phase or this phase was in December 2011. 
• The current scenario is different too in a positive aspect. 
• The Institute has developed drastically. 
• In comparison to the fresh graduate faculty, now the professors are from the IITs, IISC, and NITs who have completed their Ph.D. 
• The faculty is well experienced and knowledgeable. 
• Their way of teaching is good and impactful. 

They also prefer to explain the subjects effectively than to just cover up the syllabus and mug up. The exams are not just planned to pass a student, rather they are tricky and feel like an actual exam.
