Having to know some people studying at both Simsree and KJ Somaiya and here are some things that you should know. They both are equally good.

• Both the institutes, for their MMS course, teach the same syllabus specified by the University of Mumbai. So, according to the content, there is no difference.
• This is generally a good thing that you are specializing in something that roughly 4 to 5% of the batch will specialize in. 
• It is not as difficult for the placement committee to get companies with specific profiles.
• The institutes have been there for a fairly long time and both have a steady pool of recruiters. Therefore, placements are not very problematic. 
• Having said that, placements depend on multiple factors, and nothing can be guaranteed.
• K J Somaiya has more full-time faculty members whereas SIMSREE has more visiting faculty members. But cannot say the same about the operations specialization.

Irrespective of where you go, your responsibility is to get better, participate in competitions, do certifications, and improve yourself holistically. The institute cannot impose anything if you have no intention of doing it.

My brother did PGPDE from NTTF, so I have some idea about both courses.

PGDE:

• It is a two-year program that includes Industrial Design (ID), but engineering is also taught alongside ID.
• Design studios, labs, model shops, and tools are all in poor condition.
• There will be only one experienced faculty, others will give you assignments only.
• The emphasis is primarily on engineering, with little or no emphasis on ID.
• There is no research going on there, and you will not get as much exposure as you would at a Tier II college.

PGTE:

• PGPDE is a two-year program that focuses on tool and die design, engineering, and analysis.
• Workshops are available, but the availability of machines does not match the strength of the students, making it difficult to complete projects.
• There are experienced staff members available, and the teaching is comparatively good. A lot of CAD assignments must be submitted for each semester (which is good for learning in the beginning), but one major disadvantage is that you will never receive feedback on the assignments you submit.
• AutoCAD and Creo software have been taught. However, in the industry, UG NX and Catia are widely used.
• Last but not least, many students enroll in PG school NTTF because of placements. To tell you the truth, only a few companies come to campus. Many companies advertised in advertisements visited the campus last decade, but they still keep it in the ad.
• Nowadays, placements are very poor, either because service-based companies do not visit campus or because the salary offered by them is too low. For the PG programs, the median and maximum CTC offered in current years is 2.5 lakhs and 3.4 lakhs. 

I will advise you to take all these factors into consideration, before choosing PGDE or PGTE at NTTF.

NIT Nagaland is one of the best institutions when it comes to the field of technology. It offers a wide range of options to choose from along with a great number of scholarships to back you up financially. Here are some of the major elements which make the college one of the bests in India.

Placements: The rate in which students get placed every year from college is remarkable and it is one of the most important reasons that make it a good institution.

• The highest salary package remains around 9LPA-10LPA. The average package is 4.5 LPA-5 LPA.

• Various companies offer internships and jobs to the students. Some of the companies are Amazon, BSNL, Wipro, Bharat Electronics Limited, IBM, LAVA, Polaris, and more.

• More than 90% of students get placed in different companies every year.

Course fees:

• The course fees vary from each course to the other. However, the major thing to note here is, the course fee is relatively less compared to the private universities of the country. It, therefore, offers affordable education to the eligible ones.

• Those who want to pursue M. SC here, have to pay around 15000 per year, and the range increases when it comes to courses like B. Tech and M. Tech.

Scholarships:

A lot of supportive sources are there that help students financially to complete their education in this institution. Some of the major providers are the Foundation of Academic Excellence and Access India, District Welfare officer UP, District Welfare Officer, Bihar, District Welfare society Puru, Bihar, and more.

Hostel facilities:

• NIT Nagaland provides hostel services to both boys and girls with a sufficient amount of necessary essentials like study table, almirah, iron bed, and more.

• There is another paying guest which is available inside the campus for boys.

Infrastructure:

• There is a huge library containing more than seven thousand books for all the courses along with a well-designed cafeteria.

• The sports complex is also remarkable. It provides separate space for every sport including football, tennis, basketball, and indoor games like chess and more.

These are some of the major reasons why NIT Nagaland has evolved to be one of the best technical colleges in India. It has ranked 91st among the best engineering colleges in 2019 by JEE cut off across the country.

If you are deciding to prepare for any competitive exam, then Lucknow University can be a good choice. You will additionally secure a degree from a state-run university which can help contribute to providing ample time for personal studies.

The faculty of Lucknow University does not specifically concentrate on teaching students everything. If ever required, the faculty takes initiative to cooperate, despite unnatural pitfalls. But, the motive of preparation depends entirely upon you.

It is suggested that you study and prepare for further exams on your own, alongside the assistance of faculty, if deemed necessary at any point.
