NIT Goa is an Institute of National Importance. A lot of my friends studied at NIT Goa and here are some things about the college I got to know from them. Let us look at the various aspects of the institute to decide if it is really good for you or not.

Infrastructure

• It operates from the temporary campus at Goa Engineering College (GEC) at Farmagudi, Ponda in Goa. 
• Though the campus is small, it is really a lush green campus and has all the modern facilities. 
• All the necessary machines and equipment needed for running a fully functional lab of an engineering college are present. 
• The faculty are really good and cooperative.

Hostel and sports facilities

• The college houses the students in rented 2 BHK flats on the GEC campus. 
• The hostels are not cleaned properly and there are frequent water shortages. 
• The mess food is also quite average. Thus mess and hostel are the weakest links of NIT Goa. 
• For sports, the campus has courts and grounds nearby. 
• The college also has its own mini sports room which has many indoor sports equipment.

Campus life

• You are in Goa and thus beach parties, waterfall visits, and nature trails are very common. 
• You will also have many events going on throughout the year in Goa. 
• Apart from that, the campus hosts a tech-fest (Technival) and a cultural fest (Raag). 
• The temporary campus has its own day canteens which you can enjoy during study breaks.

Placements

Below given are some of the details of the campus placement drive at the college during the year 2020-21.

To conclude, the college is actually good. Yes, you will not get the full facilities of a permanent campus and the hostel facilities are sub-par. But for an educational institution, it is quite good.

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. 

• The campus of NITK is very beautiful with lush green surroundings. NIT Goa is much smaller and might be built inside a state government-run college. Students can enjoy leisure time along with their studies. 
• The faculty is very talented and highly experienced. 
• The course curriculum is updated according to the recent industry trends.
• The placement opportunities are excellent. A lot of companies visit the campus for interviews. 
• NITK is also better if you want to do higher studies like machine learning, 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. 

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. 

• The faculty of this college are very talented and qualified in their fields. They have years of experience in teaching and they are very helpful too. 
• The placement records of this college are amazing too as a lot of top companies visit the college for interviews. Companies such as Amazon, Microsoft, Adobe, Flipkart, DirectI visit the campus during interviews and offer jobs to many students with decent packages. According to the recent placement statistics the average CTC offered at the institute is 10 LPA.

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. 

• In a nutshell, there are multiple core companies that visit the campus during the placement drive. 
• These include major firms like Alston transport, L&T HED, L&T Constructions, Thermal, Havells, TATA Motors and many others.
• Other than these few, various other students secure placement offers in companies belonging to the IT sector and the Consultancy services. 

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. 

Overall, CSE at NIT Goa offers better placement. 

One of my friends is a student of NIT Goa and according to him, he didn’t study a whole lot. It came as a complete surprise to him. During his 12th grade, his aim was to focus on Board examinations and not prepare for any entrance exam. After that, he intended to take a year off. Following his 12th board examinations, he took JEE Main and a few more exams to gauge the amount of hard work he needs to put in over the next year.

The paper results were likewise as expected. He just made the cut-off by 20–25 points. JEE Advanced was difficult for him to finish. 

Surprisingly, board scores were taken into account when JEE ranks were released that year. Because he was studying for his boards that year, his 12th-grade scores gave him an advantage, and as a result, he was able to earn a reasonable grade, which eventually brought him to NIT Goa.

No one can tell you how hard you need to work. You will know how to prepare yourself best. 

It is suggested that you choose the institute that is in close proximity to your location, since both the institutes are rather tier-3 Indian Engineering Colleges. 

• The major similarity both Goa Engineering College and NIT Goa share is that fresh graduates often go on to become clerks at several service based companies. 
• They often get an average salary package ranging anywhere between 3 LPA to 4 LPA.

In any case, nobody can apparently have access to the actual placement report of either institute because most of them generally spike their records for unjust purposes. Yet, here is a detailed placement statistics, as is claimed by the institutes in general.

Indian students generally should enroll at colleges near to their residence. And later start to impel the administration to offer basic amenities, if any missing, thereby gradually incrementing the possibility of them obtaining industry relevant skills. Your placements and overall college life has to provide you with the necessary facilities, only then you can grow as an individual.

NIT Goa is a new institute whereas NIT Agartala is not the right choice as it has poor infrastructure.
