NIT Jamshedpur, for any student, can be a good choice. However, it can be a good choice only if there is no further option left. In all the options that you have, the first try you should ever have is to enroll in IITs. On the other hand, if not IITs, then your second try should at least be for absolutely any tier-I NITs, such as the ones in the South.
Although, when you run out of your choices between institutions like IITs and tier-I NITs, then choosing NIT Jamshedpur as your last option is not considered overall a very bad choice.
NIT Jamshedpur is an institute that comes with brand value, which mainly is its USP. It is fundamentally well renowned across everyone for the CSE department, which has rather earned its name for being the most sought branch in the whole institution.
However, when speaking of the placement reports, it speaks otherwise. This means the overall placement record for almost all the branches in the institution is not highly praised. But, the improvement in the placement reports is somehow seen to climb the upper side recently.

But by ‘good’ I do not mean very high packages that you can boast of. If this is what you are looking for, you’ll be disappointed.

This is an inspiring placement story of one of my seniors from B.Tech CSE at NIT Jamshedpur. He is a dedicated, talented, and hardworking person.
In 2015, Amazon visited the campus to recruit interns. This senior of mine applied for the internship, along with others in the department. He cleared the written round and the 1st technical interview. But he failed to clear the 2nd technical interview. So he was not among the 5 students who secured the intern position.
A year later, Amazon visited again with a full-time software development engineer position. This time the guy was determined to crack the test. He was one of the only 2 students who cleared the written round and 4 technical interviews. So this time, he secured the position at Amazon.
Amazon offers one of the highest packages at NIT Jamshedpur. This guy cleared its difficult test against all odds. He cleared the test in 2016, and joined the company precisely one year later, after completing his B.Tech.
This guy enrolled at NIT Jamshedpur in 2013. His roll number contained the number 13, and so did his hostel room number. It feels like 13 is his lucky number after all!
Every year this dilemma strikes most of the students whether to opt for a good NIT but not the branch of choice or branch of choice at any NIT. What you should know is apart from the top five NITs, all the other NITs are equivalent. Therefore, go for the branch of your choice.
Now, answering that question that has been asked:
