If you are considering pursuing engineering studies in Central India, you might want to explore the NIT Raipur. Here are some reasons why NIT Raipur could be a great choice for you:
Comparing NIT Raipur with NIT Goa, it is important to note that each institute has its strengths and weaknesses. However, based on the information available, NIT Raipur seems to have an edge in terms of academic reputation, faculty expertise, research opportunities, infrastructure, and placements.
The top four IIITs in the country are – IIIT Hyderabad; IIIT Bangalore; IIIT Delhi; and IIIT Allahabad
If you get CS in any of the above-mentioned IIITs, just go for it The next two top IIITs are IIIT Gwalior and IIITDM Jabalpur. But there is a huge gap between these two. You may consider these two as well over NIT Goa. But then it is tricky and it should be left on your preference.
Generally, if you go to any NIT, then the topmost paying salary jobs are usually taken up by the CS guys of that college. So you will get a very good placement opportunity at NIT Goa as well if you get CS. If you are getting any other IIIT other than the top 6, then I would suggest you stick with NIT Goa.
It depends on which NIT you are comparing it to. NIT Goa is a tier-3 NIT and is still on its way to exhibit its credibility, except for the name received from the government. This is possibly the only resemblance it has with other top-tier NITs.
NIT Goa can reasonably be ranked alongside other bottom quartile NITs, including the ones situated in North-Eastern India (except NIT Silchar) and other NITs located at Puducherry and other similar places. All these NITs are struggling to prove their values as of now.
Among these two courses and colleges, you should probably choose EEE at NITK. Having to know some people studying in both these institutes, I can say that the infrastructure and facilities provided at NIT Goa are very poor, it is also below NITK in terms of rankings.
Categories | EEE at NIT Surathkal |
Course Fee | 5.40 lakh |
Highest CTC | 14-15 LPA |
Average CTC | 8-9 LPA |
Recruiting Companies | Qualcomm, Texas Instruments, nVidia, Western Digital, etc. |
Hence, choosing EEE at NITK will be a better option as the faculty, infrastructure, and placements of this college is great and there is also a very good scope of higher studies.
I have a friend from NIT Goa and according to him, it will be really tough to get into NIT GOA with these statistics. The number of seats at NIT GOA is very few but also many of the students prefer it for its culture.
Here is the 2021 course-wise JEE cutoff for NIT Goa.
B.Tech Branch | OBC | |
Home State | Other State | |
Civil Engineering | 162072 | 9022-10969 |
Computer Science & Engineering | 14557 | 3349-3779 |
Electrical & Electronics Engineering | 26267 | 6218-7234 |
Electronics & Communication Engineering | 21032 | 5339-5567 |
Mechanical Engineering | - | 8608-8879 |
This should give you an idea about the cutoff required at NIT Goa.
Some of my friends studied at NIT Goa, so I might be able to answer your question. You can afterward analyze it and see if it matches your expectations.
They also prefer to explain the subjects effectively than to just cover up the syllabus and mug up. The exams are not just planned to pass a student, rather they are tricky and feel like an actual exam.
Both NIT Goa and NIT Sikkim are decent options considering the atmosphere surrounding the campus. But, NIT Sikkim has some disadvantages. The points below state some of the advantages and disadvantages of both the institutes.
Here is an overview of the recent placement statistics for the institutes.

Thus, it is clear that NIT Goa is a clear winner among the two.
NIT Kurukshetra and NIT Goa are reputed engineering colleges. But among these two colleges, choosing NIT Kurukshetra will be a better choice as it is better in terms of rankings and offers better placements to the students.
However, NIT Goa offers a better campus experience. Goa is a more happening place with beaches, tourist spots and its environment is more chilled and relaxed. But overall, NIT Kurukshetra is a better college with good faculty and placement opportunities.
Having some friends studying in these institutes, I can say that as per what they mentioned, NIT Patna arrives with a better placement rate than the other two counterparts.
Categories | Mechanical at NIT Silchar | Mechanical at NIT Patna | Mechanical at NIT Goa |
Course Fee | 5.42 lakh | 5.70 lakh | 5.38 lakh |
Highest CTC | 21 LPA | 12-14 LPA | 11 LPA |
Average CTC | 7.25 LPA | 6-7 LPA | 6 LPA |
Recruiting Companies | Wipro, TCS, Infosys, L&T, etc. | GE, L&T, Tata Motors, Alston, etc. | Bosch, Capgemini, HP, IBM, etc. |
But, apart from the factors mentioned above, NIT Silchar is several steps ahead because it has established one of the best campuses, unlike many. That is the only brownie point NIT Silchar enjoys. It is best if you still research vividly about the prospects implanted in either institutes, and see what suits you best.
PICT is one of Maharashtra's leading computer science and information technology institutions. The coding environment is quite competitive. There are numerous technical events held to test your knowledge. The placements have been slightly lower in the last few years. The main recruiters at the institute are TCS, Accenture, Cybag, etc.
NIT is doing well in CSE placement. Nowadays, the placement committee is providing better opportunities. Polaris FT, IBM, Samsung, Amazon, and Tesco HSC are the top recruiters. The average salary package offered of 5 lakhs per annum, whereas the highest is around 15-20 lakhs.
Here are the recent placement highlights for the courses.
Parameters | IT in PICT | CSE in NIT Goa |
Total course fee | 3.86 lakhs | 5.38 lakhs |
Top recruiters | Amdocs, CapGemini, Cybage, IBM | Amadeus, BARC, Bosch Ltd, BSNL, Cap Gemini, HFCL, HP, IBM, Infosys |
Highest salary package | 16.6 lakhs | 15.9 lakhs |
Overall, CSE at NIT Goa offers better placement.
