Which should I choose, CUSAT-SOE for mechanical engineering or NIT Jamshedpur for mechanical engineering?

A few of my friends graduated from CUSAT – SOE and NIT Jamshedpur, so I think I can give you some idea about the institute, based on what I heard from them.

NIT Jamshedpur:

• NIT is a global brand when it comes to pursuing higher studies, like in an IIM or an IISc.
• The placement record is better in the NITs.
• Tata Steel, Tata Motors, L&T, Jindal Steel are the top recruiters of the college.
• You will also get a chance to study in an institute that has a legacy of at least half a century.
• The faculty team is impeccable.

CUSAT – SOE:

• CUSAT-SOE also has good professors.
• The facilities for labs are good.
• The institute has got 40+ years of history and network.
• The placement for core Mechanical companies is not that great in CUSAT.
• MRF, IBM, Infosys, TCS, and Cisco are the top recruiters.
• If you have stayed in North India since birth it will take time to adjust food and culture-wise in CUSAT.

Here is a brief overview of the two institutes.

Go through the above-mentioned factors and choose according to your convenience.
