NIT Silchar is definitely better than NIT Jamshedpur in all possible aspects. I am not saying this just because it's ranked much higher than NIT Jamshedpur, but NIT Silchar's research culture and placement statistics are way better than NIT Jamshedpur. Despite operating from a place where there are issues related to communication, transportation, and development, it has become one of the top NITs. The students are left in awe of the beauty of the campus.
I will suggest never comparing colleges on the basis of placements alone. N that case many private colleges have better placements yet people run after IITs and NITs because of the brand value, the crowd, the legacy, and the research activities. It's a well-known institute among the faculty and students of top IITs. The Director Prof. S. Bandyopadhyay is working on improving the institute's reputation by holding many national and international events.

Go for NIT Silchar without thinking twice!
The answer to this question depends on your interpretation of a good placement.
If you are looking for a decent core/ non core job, NIT Jamshedpur Civil won’t disappoint you. However, if you are looking for very high packages from top brands, you’ll be disappointed. In fact, any core branch (civil, mechanical, electrical, production, metallurgy etc.), won’t fetch you high packages. This can happen only if you have graduated from an old IIT, BITS Pilani, or any other top Engineering college.
For 2023, CE saw 97.29% placements and an average CTC of INR 9.57 LPA.
One can’t assess placement figures correctly through the average package. High salary offers for a handful of students inflate the entire figure. Try to research the future prospects of Civil, and explore your interests.
But overall, the placements are quite good at the Civil department of NIT Jamshedpur. You can expect plenty of offers and a decent salary package.
NIT Allahabad is a better choice than NIT Jamshedpur, especially for CSE. If you are not getting CSE, try going for IT because the branches are somewhat similar. Moreover, NIT Allahabad has options for internal sliding too so you can try your luck there. Chances of sliding to CSE are rare so you can try going for IT instead.
Also, If you are considering joining a core branch, except CSE, IT, and ECE, remember that you will have to appear for GATE in the last year to get a job in PSUs.

Placements: The placement scenario is slightly better at NIT Jamshedpur than at NIT Silchar. Last year the average package for NIT Jamshedpur stood at INR 14.72 LPA while that of NIT Silchar stood at INR 13.58 LPA.

Apart from the newly established hostels and a newly constructed grand academic building, there is nothing more to the college's infrastructure. NIT Silchar on the other hand has top-notch infrastructure with many facilities such as gymkhana, student activity center, auditorium, and other sports facilities. It has a very lush green campus that is heaven for nature lovers.
In all, NIT Jamshedpur and NIT Silchar offer similar job opportunities but NIT Silchar has slightly better campus life and infrastructure.

Mega Hostels are allotted only to boys. Girls are allotted RLB Hostel or BR Ambedkar Hostel, next to the Computer Centre.
The mechanical branch is ranked second in terms of placement at NIT Jamshedpur. The fact that it is located in the heart of the state of Jharkhand, helps the campus a great deal. It has easy accessibility via flights, trains, and buses from any part of the country.
Moreover, the infrastructure and the facilities on campus are developing at a rapid rate and the campus is remarkably grown and expanded ever since its inception.
One of my friends who used to be a student in Jamshedpur says that all hostels of NIT Jamshedpur have equal value. The faculty is also experienced and good at teaching as far as the academic background is concerned. The faculty takes enthusiasm in its teaching and is also energetic. One of the teachers was not only the associate Dean but also the chief warden at the same time. There was also talk that he might just be the next Dean of the students’ welfare department.
The cultural students, technical festival, sports meet, and alumni meet consist of a lot of students from the metallurgy. ‘Technica’ is also a popular event for metallurgy students. There are also technical teams like Daksh, Drift, Phoenix, etc where you can work in.
