One of the major challenges NIT Silchar faces is its remote location. This has led to many issues such as fewer companies visiting during placements, no industrial visits until the institute pays for the airfare, lack of projects and construction materials, and long travel hours for students. Here are a few solutions I have come up with that might solve this issue to a certain level
I hope these solutions can be implemented as soon as possible to improve the situation at NIT Silchar.
One of my friends was in a similar situation and with her rank she got NIT Silchar Mechanical. However, she changed her mind at the last moment when she heard of the poor placement scenario of NIT Silchar. Sbe enrolled for the special round and luckily made it to IIIT Guwahati. She took the risk of choosing a new institution only because its placement scenario seemed more promising and the curriculum was well-updated.
IIIT Guwahati also has an excellent research culture since the faculty comprises professors who are Ph.D. holders from renowned IITS. Students get the chance to work on projects under their excellent guidance. The resources are limited but their excellent course makes up for it. The courses in the 2nd semester are very interesting like data structures, calculus, differential equations, Computer architecture, etc
Unless you have a specific interest in Mechanical go for IIIT Guwahati.
Frankly speaking, both Electronics and Instrumentation and CSE are equally good branches that open up ample opportunities in the future. Let us have a brief comparison of the NIT Silchar, E&I, and TEZU.
Infrastructure – TEZU is leading in terms of the best infrastructure and well-equipped lab facilities, especially in the CSE branch.
Faculty – TEZU is gifted with more highly qualified and experienced faculties than others.
Placement – NITs and TEZU have had a good record of placement in recent years.
Research – CSE has an active and advanced research environment at TEZU.
Other than the qualities of the institute, your initial preference should be given to your interest in the core subject.
