Tezpur University - [TU], Tezpur - Affiliated Colleges

It is recommended that you go for any of the NIT Agartala or NIT Silchar over Tezpur University (TU). Here’s mentioning some points as to why it will be a better option.

• The major thing the NITs possess is the brand name. This name could turn out to be really beneficial for your career ahead.
• Overall placements at NITs are much better. Whereas TU is known only for its CSE department.
• Top companies like Goldman Sachs, Wells Fargo, KPMG, ICICI Prudential, American Express, Barclays, etc. take part in NITs placement programs.
• These companies offer salary packages ranging from 12-14 LPA. The average CTC rises upto 8.5 LPA.
• The administration of NITs are well organized unlike TU.
• Tezpur University being a newer establishment has very less industrial exposure, this is certainly better in the NITs.
• NITs faculty is highly qualified and well experienced.

If you are interested in studying CSE then only consider TU, otherwise NITs are the best at everything. Being a more experienced institute NITs can provide you the proper guidance and connections required to move forward in your career.

• 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.
