    Hi Deepika
    IITs and NITs are not the same when compared to the level of studies. IITs possess a high-grade infrastructure of courses, scope, faculty members as well as top-scoring students versus NITs. On the other hand, NITs do have batches with diligent and smart students, in comparison to the level of top private colleges.

    Best wish. And if it's help you like it.
