How is NIT-Jalandhar for CSE now?
NIT Jalandhar is a reputable university. Not particularly extraordinary or so. It's just a quiet campus with standard instruction where CSE graduates have a good placement rate. It gradually lost its allure. It used to be one of the best NITs, but lately, it has declined.
However, it is still a very good college, with CSE, in particular, being a particularly lovely and developed branch.
Which is better for CS/ECE NIT Hamirpur, NIT Jalandhar, IIIT Kancheepuram, IIIT Jabalpur ?
First, I would like you to address your branch preference. Choosing a branch should be the top most priority. CSE and ECE are quite different from one another. Although IITs/IIITs/NITs do offer a branch change option, it is quite difficult to get it. So I would suggest you make up your mind on which branch truly interests you.
Now coming to the colleges. Choose IIIT Jabalpur for a CSE branch. This is because IIITs offer good placements, curriculum and culture in this branch. Even IIIT Kancheepuram is a good option for CSE. But the distance from home and food form an integral part of this decision-making. Assuming you aren’t from South India, the lifestyle and eating habits might be difficult to adapt to. As far as NIT Hamirpur and NIT Jalandhar are concerned, choose them if you are planning for an ECE degree. They are good colleges as well.
First prioritize your branch and then choose your college among these four. I won’t suggest you go by college rankings. Basically, choose your branch first and then decide the best college for yourself.
Is there any scope in industrial and production engineering in NIT Jalandhar?
Whatever the scope of the industry, the "average pack" one receives is determined by one's skills and abilities, not by the degree or institution.
Choose one track to which you can relate. Then, work hard to gain knowledge and skills so that you can one day demonstrate your worth to a selection board.

Which is better, NIT Kurukshetra or NIT Jalandhar?
Both NITs are essentially the same. In previous years, NIT Kurukshetra was ranked higher than NIT Jalandhar, but rankings don't really matter the most. In the end, it all comes down to how hard you work during your four years of college.
In terms of placement, choosing CS or ECE rarely makes a difference because the placements of these branches are remarkably similar in all NITs.
Why is the cutoff for computer science in Thapar lower than that of NIT Jalandhar?
The cutoff for computer science in Thapar has seen a fall in figures. This is because of the decrease in the fame of this college. There are so many better and popular institutes that people usually don’t consider Thapar as their first choice.
Even big companies prefer students from IITs, BITS or DTU. Students themselves opt for IIT because of its tag. They know the IIT tag will always be a boon for them.
The general decrease in its popularity has resulted in lower cutoffs and the situation seems to be worsening over the years to come.
