Before choosing an institute, think about what your requirements are. Here are some points that might help you make a decision.

• If your aim is a job in a corporate sector then the NITs will definitely be better options. Opt for either NIT Meghalaya or Nagaland. 
• Do not compare their placements with older NITs as it could prove disappointing.
• Tezpur University (TU) is also known to provide good placement opportunities but it is more concentrated to only the CSE department. 
• You may get placements from a few IT companies, but overall placements are concerned NITs are definitely better than TU.
• Students who are interested in learning and exploring research fields can opt for TU as well. 
• Tezpur University has very good faculty strength in ECE & CSE. 
• The two departments are much older too. 
• The CSE faculty and labs of TU are better than NIT Silchar. 
• TU has got a good research environment as there are multiple departments of Science and Engineering, which is not the case of the mentioned NITs.

Therefore it is suggested that if you aim for an immediate job opportunity, go for NITs. For students who feel confident that they can get a job off campus or are more inclined towards academics and research can go for TU.
