Are least ranked NITs like Agartala, Srinagar, etc. good? Or should one prefer colleges like VIT/SRM/Manipal?
I graduated from VIT Vellore in 2023, with a B.Tech degree in ECE branch.
You’ll probably come across people who’ll tell you that low ranking NITs like NIT Agartala, Srinagar, etc. still carry the ‘NIT’ tag, and thus, they have a higher brand value compared to VIT Vellore. However, that is not the case.
My sister is currently studying at NIT Agartala, and according to her, VIT Vellore has a much higher industry reputation and a bigger brand name in comparison to lower ranking NITs.
I have personally come across NITians who were unplaced after graduation. But as far as VIT Vellore is concerned, it delivers a high placement record each year. Many of the NITs suffer from poor infrastructure and shortage of facilities because of lack of funding and bad administration. As a private institution, VIT Vellore does not suffer in these areas.
These are some reasons why I chose VIT Vellore for my B.Tech despite getting lower ranking NITs after 12th. If you are happy with the location, and you get your desired branch at VIT Vellore, I would recommend you to join this institution.

In my opinion, the VIT brand name is better than NITs these days especially as far as the lesser ranked NITs like Agartala and Srinagar are considered. My friend appeared in an IIIT Delhi interview and met many NIT alumni who were still unplaced. Moreover, VIT enjoys a better reputation in the industry and also has better ranking and placements. The trust is due to lack of funding and poor administration, the NIT brand name has degraded.
I feel one must take into consideration important factors like location, branch, and industry relations while choosing their college.
