What is the importance of NITs and IITs than that of other colleges?

Hi, Here are the advantages I can think of : 1. You're at a sweet spot in terms of competition. The culture isn't as competitive as IITs but way better than local engineering campuses. 2. You get as many opportunities to learn as you get in any IITs 3. Education is cheaper. Practically Free. In some cases even cheaper than IITs although if the recent bills are passed the cost is likely to rise. 4. Lot of scholarship opportunities - both merit and need based. There are few student grants also. 5. Placement statistics of top NITs are at least comparable to that of IITs 6. Most NITs are located far from Mega Cities unlike IITs. This has unique advantages (and disadvantages too). Our NIT has a private beach of its own. You just cannot beat it. 7. Since the peer group isn't as good as IIT and NITs follow relative grading too it is easier to get better grades at NITs. And since the opportunities available are comparable to IITs it's harder for talent to get unnoticed. The performance pressure and expectations is also lower which is very helpful. 8. Some NITs have much better hostels. I have seen IIT KGP, IIT Bombay, IIT Kanpur and IIT Madras hostels. NITK's hostel is much better than all those. New NITs had their hostel constructed recently. Thus it's equipped with modern facilities. Thank you.
