IIIT Guwahati is a relatively new institute so its placement might not be at par with NITSilchar. Here is a brief comparison of the placement statistics of both institutes

Particulars	IIIT Guwahati	NIT Silchar
No. of Companies	-	94+
Total No. of Offers	233	537
No. of Students Placed	156	397
Highest CTC	INR 61.5 LPA	INR 44 LPA
Average CTC	INR 15.34 LPA	INR 13.58 LPA
Top Recruiters	Juspay, L&T, Sigmoid Analytics, Legato Healthcare (PPO), C-DOT (Govt. of India), etc	Amazon, Microsoft, Adobe, Arcesium, Intuit

Moreover, the academic environment is much better at NIT Silchar than at IIIT Guwahati. As for the location, NIT Silchar is gradually overcoming all connectivity issues and the situation is only going to get better.

Ultimately, the final choice depends on your preferences. If you are inclined towards Mechanical, choose NIT Silchar but if you want to pursue a career in CS, definitely go for IIIT Guwahati.

Based on my friend's input on the academic environment and the placement records, my suggestion would be to go for CSE from Nirma University. You should not miss this opportunity as you would witness that it makes a lot of difference when you end up opting for CSE than ECE.

I would not recommend you to go for NIT Silchar, as their placement record and academics is not that appealing. It is also one of the lower-ranked NITs of India, so try to not opt for it. People are aware of the fact that any lower NIT is not that fulfilling and does not match the standards of the other NITs established already.

Because of all of these factors, my friend ended up leaving NIT Silchar and got into Nirma University which is much better.

Categories	CSE at Nirma University	ECE at NIT Silchar
Course Fee	7.24 lakh	5.42 lakh
Highest CTC	16-22 LPA	18 LPA
Average CTC	7-9 LPA	10 LPA
Recruiting Companies	Bosch, Havells, Honeywell, JP Morgan, etc.	TCS, IBM, Dell, ZS Associates, etc.
