Hi,
There are 31 NITs in our country and each one is unique and different in its own way. They vary in their infrastructure, campus life, academics, courses and many other parameters. You need to know about all these parameters in the top NITs so that you can make an informed choice. MHRD approved NIRF rankings also give a slight idea of the relative positions of the various NITs. Here is the top three ranked NITs:
I. National Institute of Technology, Tiruchirappalli: This is so far the best NIT and provides a really good exposure to its students. The cut-off ranks for admission to NIT Tiruchirappalli are really low and you need to get excellent marks in JEE Mains to get into it. Popularly it is also known as NIT Trichy and for top branches like CSE and ECE you need to have an under 2500 rank to get through. The campus life, placements and exposure is really good and the good student quality will further help you in going ahead. II. National Institute of Technology, Warangal: This is the NIT with a reputation just like NIT Trichy. It ranks second among all the NITs. The best branches here too are CSE and ECE. Apart from that mechanical is also quite good in this college in terms of the faculty and student quality. The placements might not be great for mechanical but the overall branch is good. CSE and ECE have really good placements as well. III. NIT Rourkela, Odisha: The institute offers a lot of facilities to its students and these help them develop nicely overall. The choice of courses is very vast here too just like MNNIT. However, CSE and ECE continue to remain the popular choices. For CSE an under 7000 rank is needed whereas for ECE a rank under 8500 works in general. You can go for any one.
