Which is better for B.Tech. mechanical at NIT Jalandhar or mechanical at NIT Rourkela overall
My friend is an NIT Jalandhar pass out so I can speak about that only. She regretted getting admission into NIT Jalandhar. She faced some serious problems
-
Faculty: The professors were below average in their teaching methods. Most lacked the basic knowledge and just read out from books. Moreover, if you don’t win their favor you get fewer marks in assignments. This affects your overall CGPA.
-
Crowd: It will be hard to find a diverse crowd here as most of the students hail from Punjab itself. Even their language is common within the campus.
-
Placements: Talking specifically about Mechanical Engineering placements, the condition is pretty bad. The average package this year was INR 7.87 LPA while the highest CTC was just INR 8.4 LPA.
-
Hostels: The first and second-year hostels do not have Wi-Fi connections which is a major drawback. Hostels 3-7 are also averagely built. Mega Hostels have better facilities in comparison to other hostels at NIT Jalandhar.
These are some shortcomings of NIT Jalandhar which might affect your overall experience. You can research the same for NIT Rourkela and make a comparison. In case NIT Rourkela is even worse, then NIT Jalandhar is your last option.

The faculty of this department is really cooperative, they will not pressurize you during their B.Tech. It is your responsibility to take the initiative and explore the opportunities because you will not be spoon-fed in college. But you can always approach the faculty regarding any problem.
If we talk about the placement scenario, there are a good number of companies that come to the campus and you can only get placed if you study hard. The campus scenario for the previous years has not been good but it has still ranked among the best campus placements. You can also try and study some advanced courses in classes that will help you to improve your CV.
Which one should I choose, IIIT Allahabad (IT), MNIT Allahabad (IT), NIT Bhopal (CSE), or NIT Jalandhar (CSE)?
IIIT Allahabad is better than MNIT Allahabad if you are interested in coding. Although NITs and IIIT Allahabad both are centrally funded technical institutes. The only difference is the course curriculum as IIIT Allahabad focuses only on IT and ECE. Due to this, minor subjects like Chemistry, Applied Mechanics, Engineering Drawing are dropped in 1st and 2nd semester itself.
NITs have a long legacy making it more reputable with strong alumni across all domains. On the other hand, IIITA is a young institution and follows innovative academic policies. Its alumni members are even present in Silicon Valley in a short span of time.
You can decide your own priorities in the career. If you are interested in coding culture and look forward to great internships and placements with a small cozy campus, you should prefer IIIT Allahabad. You should opt for MNIT Allahabad if you are interested in meeting new people with diverse backgrounds. It will help you in enhancing your personality.
If you ask me, my vote goes for IIIT Allahabad on all these below parameters.
- College Life: IIIT Allahabad is an institute of national importance, and boasts one of the best campuses in the country. Whereas, MNNIT is not even on the edge.
- Placements: 96% of the students got placed and received job offers from more than 120 companies. All major Computer Science companies like Google, Facebook, Amazon, and Adobe come to IIIT Allahabad's campus and make offers.

IIIT Allahabad has placements in Google Mountain View/ Europe/ Australia/Japan from almost every Batch from the past 4-5 years. IIIT Allahabad was preferred by these companies because a lot of alumni already worked in these companies and better industry perception has been built up.
The strength in NIT-A is approximately twice as compared to IIIT-A. And every year this strength keeps increasing. As you know that the quality decreases with the increase in strength, I would again suggest you choose IIIT-A.
What would be the right choice between an ICE at NIT Jalandhar and a CSE at IIIT Guwahati?
According to my friends studying at IIIT Guwahati, CSE is a better choice than pursuing ICE at NIT Jalandhar. Though there are various reasons why ICE at NIT Jalandhar is also a very good program. As NIT is an older institute, they have more alumni and industry connections and a decent placement record compared to that of IIIT Guwahati.

However compelling all these might me, there are many reasons for choosing CSE at IIIT Guwahati over the other which are listed below –
- CSE is one of the most demanding branches currently and will continue to be.
- All IIITs in India including IIIT Guwahati have a robust mechanism in place for prepping up their students for Google Summer of Coding (GSoC). This instills a coding culture among the students.
- The proximity of IIT Guwahati makes it favorable for IIIT Guwahati in terms of placements. This also gives it an edge over NIT Jalandhar.
- Guwahati has its own commercial airport which makes it easier for the placement committee to bring top officials of big companies to the campus.
Even though its placements are very much close to that of NIT Jalandhar, in some cases it exceeds it as well. The growth potential of the institute is higher in comparison to NIT Jalandhar. Hence, it is advisable to go for CSE at IIIT Guwahati rather than ICE at NIT Jalandhar. However, if you prefer ICE, then go for it.
Which is better, CSE in NIT Jalandhar or CSE in IIITM Gwalior?
I have few friends from both IIITM Gwalior and NIT Jalandhar. Based on the review I got from them I will say CSE at IIITM G is better. The campus of the college is astonishing along with the many hostel facilities provided to the students. It is better than almost all the NITs in terms of education provided, quality of faculty, opportunities provided, and placements.
During the summer internships and placements in IIITM Gwalior, many opportunities are provided to all the students of B.Tech or students pursuing five years of integrated courses in CSE. Prestigious companies like Flamingo, Brightmoney, Aditya Birla Group, and many others provided a chance to all the students. According to the placement statistics of 2021 the average CTC offered was 11 LPA.

How are internships at NIT Jalandhar?
Internships at NIT Jalandhar are good. One of my friends studies at the NIT Jalandhar campus, so I will give its fair review.
- For an internship at Dr. B R Ambedkar National Institute of Technology, Jalandhar you can contact the NIT faculty. The faculty of NIT Jalandhar is available through email. You can find the faculty’s email address on NIT’s official website.
- Getting an internship also depends on faculty experience and how much knowledge they are sharing. But you will gain knowledge by working under experienced professors.
- Several companies such as Amazon, Samsung, G.E, and many more have offered internships previously. Mostly these companies conduct their online test to select candidates. You can also find more about NIT Internship on its Facebook Page name 'NIT Jalandhar Placements’.
