Which is the better choice for mechanical engineering, NIT Raipur or HBTU Kanpur?

Having talked to people at NIT Raipur and HBTU Kanpur, I have gathered reasons why students should opt for NIT Raipur instead of HBTU Kanpur for B.Tech. 

These are described below - 

• NIT has a brand value as it has a renowned name and fame, which will benefit you in many ways.
• There is a more competitive environment in NIT if compared to HTBU.
• There are more technical, cultural, and sports events in NIT than HTBU which helps the student to develop their personality and intelligence.
• NIT is a government-funded college so more funds are given to NITs, which help them to provide more facilities to the students like Advance labs and classes.
• The alumni reach of NIT is more than HBTU.
• The average placement of NIT Raipur is better than the HBTU. 
• Students can avail 100% fee waiver if the students have low family income.

Overall, NIT Raipur is the potential choice for B.Tech rather than HBTU Kanpur. Even students of HBTU also prefer NIT Raipur over their college.
