Manipal Institute of Technology or NIT Nagpur? Which one should one choose and why?

In my opinion, NIT Nagpur would be a better choice than Manipal Institute of Technology. Here are some key reasons why 

1. NIT is a government institute so receives huge funds and also charges less fees.
2. Some of the NIT Nagpur departments are at par with that of IITs.
3. The crowd is more diverse and you get to interact with people from different walks of life and cultural backgrounds.
4. MIT Manipal has a better placement scenario. Its average package is INR 14.10 LPA while NIT Nagpur's average package last year was INR 10.36 LPA.
5. The institute has a decent campus life with all basic amenities
6. Connected to National knowledge network (provides highest available internet speed in India +100mbps)

It’s advisable to talk to students from both colleges and compare their reviews before making the final decision.
