I can completely understand your fear. I am an NIT Jamshedpur alumni from the Metallurgy branch, and here are some details about this course-
Work hard but also enjoy your B.Tech life to the fullest. Also, don’t worry, Metallurgy from NIT Jamshedpur is a good choice, especially for future prospects.
A relative of mine who is an alumnus of NIT Jamshedpur and she has said that the institute is working on its boundaries to make them close. You can easily get into the premises of the institute. Even the locals do.
You will have to clear JEE to get into the Bachelors in technology. If you clear your GATE exams, you can get into M.Tech, PhD, and M.Sc. After you clear interviews, you can get jobs of technician, site engineer, etc.
Some requirements for admission are as follows:
It can be seen that JEE is very important for getting admission to NIT Jamshedpur. So clearing that exam with a decent rank is important.
Both Metallurgy at NIT Jamshedpur and IT at Jadavpur University seem to be good options so the choice really depends on your preferences. I hope you aren't someone who is obsessed with tags because, in the long run, the tag of your college does not even matter. Moreover, both NIT Jamshedpur and Jadavpur University have a considerably good reputation in the industry. However, it's true that Nit Jamshedpur metallurgy placements are slightly better than JU metallurgy placements because of their favorable location. JU IT placements are decent too with many 20_ LPA offers. Here is why I will suggest you go for JU IT instead of NIT Jamshedpur Metallurgy
Additionally, consider the following table before making the final choice.

One of my cousins was in a similar dilemma when she got selected for both Civil at NIT Jamshedpur and CSE at IIIT Ranchi. S he decided to go for NIT Jamshedpur as she had no interest in the IT sector at all. S he wanted a core branch and NIT Jamshedpur seemed to be her best choice. Moreover, its Civil branch placements are considered to be at par with the top NITs. In your case too, it's best to focus on your interests and future prospects to make a healthy decision. If you have even a slight interest in the IT sector, choose IIIT Ranchi because its CSE is way better than NIT Jamshedpur CSE.
Here is a brief overview of both the institutes'

NIT Jamshedpur does not release the branch-wise recruiters so it’s difficult to determine the number of companies that visit NIT Jamshedpur for EEE specifically. The placements this year though witnessed major recruiters like
A few past recruiters that my friends in EEE told me about are JSW Bellary , Bhushan Power & Steel, Tata Steel P&D, Burohappold, Boeing India Pvt ltd.
Hope the information helps you!
The moment you enter the college and attend classes initially, chances are that you may come across certain seniors from 2nd year who might lecture you. It would mostly be about how you should avail NIT buses/wear formals/regularly attending the library and so on.
Talking about rules at NIT Jamshedpur, you must understand that following every rule is not that necessary. Acknowledge what has to be followed and once you spend a month or two, you will get an idea yourself. In case you are still a bit skeptical, feel free to check out the instruction and rules that the college follows on its website.
The answer depends on what is more important for you - the college or the course.
NIT Warangal is overall ahead of NIT Jamshedpur in many respects. NIT Warangal offers better facilities, better academic infrastructure, and more opportunities. The academic infrastructure of NIT Jamshedpur isn’t that good, and the labs contain outdated equipment.
But if you have an interest in a particular branch, go for it, regardless of which institute you get.

Placement-wise, NIT Jamshedpur ECE has better statistics. But if you have an interest in your branch, you will definitely get good placements.
Thus, for better facilities, go to NIT Warangal. But if ECE is what interests you, NIT Jamshedpur will provide you with good placement offers in this branch.
There are several criteria on which MHRD ranks Engineering colleges/ universities.
According to me, NIT Jamshedpur lacks good academic infrastructure. This is one of the main hindrances in its path to glory. The teacher-student ratio isn’t that good. For a course like B.Tech CSE, the staff strength is not even one-fourth of the student population. By staff I also mean the Associate Professors, Ad Hoc faculties, Lab Assistants and clerks.
But NIT Jamshedpur has a good placement record. The academics of this institution are top-notch. It has given some of the best brains to this country.
There are several other criteria for NIRF rankings. NIT Jamshedpur lags in some of them but performs well in others. It did rank in the top 100 Engineering colleges in NIRF Rankings, a few years back.
NIT Jamshedpur has its own strengths. You should definitely visit the campus and talk to some seniors/alumni. Do not base your opinion strictly on rankings.
I will first give you a brief about each. Civil deals with building houses, bridges etc. Metallurgy deals with building high quality metals which are then used in houses, bridges, cars etc.
I’ll compare these two at NIT Jamshedpur to help you with your decision-making-
I recommend you research both these branches and then make your decision. If you have interest in one of these, go for that branch. Other than that, as per me, the Metallurgy branch is better.
Honestly, I wouldn’t suggest you forgo the offer from Tata Steel as it’s not everyone one gets to work in that prestigious company. In my opinion, I should try working there for at least a year and prepare for GATE also. You can go to the educational hubs, write mock exams, and give GATE in the coming year. If you manage to get a decent rank in GATE, you can resign and go for a PSU. But if you don’t then you will have a stable job already.
However, if you are very keen to get into a PSU, then resign from your current job and go to Delhi for full-time preparation. If you are to get a PSU well and good but if you don’t remember you have an experience of 1 year at Tata Steel that will help you.
Make a wise decision after considering all the factors!
