BITS PILANI is a well-known institute for students who do not have good IIT or NIT scores. However, BITS GOA is not very good, and it will never be able to replace NIT Surathkal.
NIT Surathkal is one of the top three NITs in the country. Trichy and Warangal are the other two. Surathkal is substantially better than Goa for getting a seat. It also has good placements and a good coding culture.
Here is a brief comparison of the two institutes.
Parameters | BITS Goa | NIT Surathkal |
Average CTC | 24 LPA | 17 LPA |
Highest CTC | 43 LPA | 43 LPA |
Major recruiters | Microsoft, Oracle, Deloitte | 09 Solutions, EXL Service, BYJU’s |
Compared to BITS Goa, NIT Surathkal is definitely a better option.
