Both the NITs Jalandhar and Jamshedpur are equally good in all aspects. Be it faculty, placements, rankings, curriculum or facilities, both the NITs give each other tough competition, NIT Jamshedpur will give some extra benefits because it’s like:

Strong alumni base as it is older
-
Better location as it is managed by TATAs
-
Covers major industrial areas of our country so better opportunities.
The ultimate factor to decide should be your proximity and regional parameters.

Apart from this, the placement scenarios are equally good at both colleges. The only thing better at NIT Jalandhar is its tag.

How good or bad is NIT Jalandhar in terms of study, culture, research and placements?
I am here to tell you how good or bad NIT Jalandhar is based on the parameters you mentioned.
Study: At NIT Jalandhar, the study does not really depend on professors. You will have to retort to self-study. The professors are either too busy or just read out bookish knowledge. So in this term NIT Jalandhar is average.
Culture: The culture at NIT Jalandhar is excellent. Ragging is banned and seniors are very supportive. Hostel facilities are also pretty good. Besides this, the college hosts 2 events every year. There is TechNiTi which is a technical fest and Utkansh which is a cultural fest.
Research: The research scenarios at NIT Jalandhar are very lacking. The professors don’t pay emphasis on research at all. They just focus on teaching the topics that will be covered in the theoretical exam. However recently some professors have started helping B.Tech. students write research papers.
Placements: Generally NIT Jalandhar offers good placement opportunities. The CSE, ECE, ICE, MECH branches get 100% placement rates. But the same has decreased for Textile, BioTech, civil, chemical and are decreasing since 2015.

Will software companies allow me to sit in placements? I am a 1st year mechanical student at NIT Jalandhar.
Most of the top colleges like IITs and NITs allow all branches to sit for placements. But it’s a fact that Mechanical Engineering has stooped to a new low since 2020. The placements have become miserable now. Some tips you can follow to sit for placements are:
-
Maintain a good CGPA ( 8.5+)
-
Become proficient in coding
-
Maintain a good rank in websites like CodeChef, Hackerrank, Hackerearth, etc
-
A good resume is always the top priority for any candidate
But it mainly depends on the placement cell whether they want to allow you for a CS job or not. In most cases they do but if not you can always go for off-campus placement with your NIT tag.
Is the branch change option after the 1st year available at NIT Jalandhar?
- Whether all of the seats in the branch you want to choose are filled or there are some seats available.
- If you discover that seats for the branch you want are unavailable, you must ensure that you have a higher CGPA depending on the branch you want to attend. Because many students want to change branches, there is a real battle going on, which is being decided by CGPA.
- Another consideration is the category, such as the need to reserve some seats in a branch for a specific category.
Which one should I choose, NIT Jalandhar for chemical or NIT Silchar in CS?
Both NIT Jalandhar and NIT Silchar are reputable institutes for their respective fields, Chemical engineering and Computer Science. However, the decision ultimately depends on your interests and career goals.
- If you are interested in studying Chemical engineering, NIT Jalandhar would be a great choice as it has a strong program in this field. It is known to have a well-equipped laboratory, experienced faculty, and a good placement scenario.
- If you are interested in Computer Science, NIT Silchar offers a good program in this field and has a good reputation. NIT Silchar has a strong faculty and good placement records.
In my opinion, it's better to choose NIT Silchar CSE because it's very challenging to upgrade your branch from Chemical to CS later. So unless you are confident of being able to change your branch, choose NIT Silchar without any hesitation. Ultimately, the decision should be based on your interests and career goals.
I am getting computer science engineering at GNDU Amritsar and biotechnology at NIT Jalandhar. Which one should I prefer?
The choice mainly depends on the individual as both disciplines are entirely different. Firstly decide if you want a career in the corporate industry or not. Biotechnology is a very good subject with numerous opportunities, but it lags a bit behind in the Indian market.
On the other hand, there is a huge demand for CSE graduates both in India and abroad. Due to the immense popularity of and sudden rise of IT firms, there are many opportunities. You will never have to struggle to get a job in a reputed company.
Placements are better for CSE graduates than Biotechnology graduates. Choose the one that suits your interest.
