For civil engineering, what should be my preference order, NIT Agartala, NIT Jamshedpur, or BIT Mesra?

All the three colleges are good. However, according to me, NIT JSR and BIT Mesra are better than NIT Agartala. For a core Engineering branch though, NIT JSR is a better choice over BIT Mesra. So your preference order for Civil should be NIT JSR> BIT Mesra> NIT Agartala.

Here are a few comparison points between NIT JSR and BIT Mesra to helTithi agp you choose between the two-

1. Academic Infrastructure- The infrastructure at BIT Mesra is better than NIT JSR. However, NIT JSR has a new academic building and the old academic building underwent renovation some time back.
2. Hostel Infrastructure- The hostel infrastructure of NIT JSR is much superior with the rooms and galleries in very good condition.
3. Placements- For core branches, the placements are a bit better at NIT JSR.
4. The teacher-student ratio is better at BIT Mesra.
5. BIT Mesra is a private college, so the maintenance of campus, classrooms, etc. is much better. However, its semester fees are much higher than NIT JSR.
6. NIT JSR carries the ‘NIT’ tag which holds value if you go for your higher studies, and may also open more job opportunities for you.
7. For CAT, UPSC, IES, GATE, etc. aspirants, NIT JSR has a lesser attendance pressure and allows more free time that you can then use for your preparation.
8. Curriculum load- The curriculum load is more at BIT Mesra than NIT JSR.
9. The girls:boys student ratio is better at BIT Mesra.
10. The study environment is almost the same at both.

BIT Mesra is a better option for CSE. However, for a core branch, NIT JSR is a better choice. My brother chose Civil at NIT JSR over Civil at BIT Mesra and he did not regret his decision. Also, never choose an institution based off of NIRF rankings because they consider many factors, and many of them are irrelevant for you.
