Which is better in terms of placements for an MTech in computer science, IIT Roorkee or NIT Surathkal?
I was in the same position as you last year. I too had the same options for my Bachelor and I chose IIT Roorkee due to the following reasons:-
- The IIT brand that gets attached to you is an asset that shall forever remain worthy.
- Older IITs like Roorkee boast a longer legacy and are highly esteemed for imparting quality Engineering education.
- IIT Roorkee is ranked 5th in the NIRF ranking while NIT Surathkal is ranked 12th.
- IIT Roorkee is better both in terms of the number of companies visiting and the average package.
- IIT Roorkee M.Tech CSE has an Average Package of 15 LPA while NIT Surathkal M.Tech CSE is at 12.64 LPA.
