Which one should I prefer between these two: NITs or IIITs? and Why?

It depends which IIIT/NIT you are getting according to your rank. In terms of placement, faculties and infrastructure some IIITs are far better than many NITs. Also coding culture of IIITs are far better than many NITs. If you are interested in CSE/IT then IIIT-H is the best option for you. IIIT Hyderabad, IIIT Allahabad, IIIT Delhi are far better than NITs in terms of coding culture, average package and infrastructure. You should prefer joining IIIT Ranchi because it is situated in the campus of NIT Jamshedpur which is among one of the best NITs in the country in terms of placement, coding culture and infrastructure also. If you are not getting these three than prefer few NITs like NIT Trichy, NIT Warangal, Surathkal, Allahabad, Jaipur, Bhopal, Delhi, Jamshedpur. But if you are not getting above mentioned NITs also then I would suggest you to join IIIT for CSE/IT. You can join IIIT Ranchi (situated at NIT Jamshedpur), IIIT Srirangam, IIIT Allahabad, IIIT Sri City. I think one has to go for IIIT if he or she is not getting top NITs.

Institutes of national importance. Previously, All India Engineering Entrance Examination (AIEEE) was the mode of getting admission in NITs, while IIT-JEE was the mode to get admission in IITs, but now both these entrance exams are replaced by a common exam called as JEE (Joint Entrance Examination). When it comes to the quality of education provided IITs are ahead of the NITs. The professors in the IITs are better and more qualified than the NITs. The way of education and approach is also better in IIT, but it doesn't mean that NITs are not good. There have been founder of companies in India and abroad from both IITs and NITs and they are considered to be as a perfect benchmark by their institutes to prove themselves superior over the others. The research conducted in the US proved that IITians are among the leading founders of the top startups in America.

NITs (National Institutes of Technology) and IITs (Indian Institutes of Technology) are the group of engineering colleges that are famous for their high standard of studies. Both of these have declared as institutes of national importance. Previously, All India Engineering Entrance Examination (AIEEE) was the mode of getting admission in NITs, while IIT-JEE was the mode to get admission in IITs, but now both these entrance exams are replaced by a common exam called as JEE (Joint Entrance Examination). When it comes to the quality of education provided IITs are ahead of the NITs. The professors in the IITs are better and more qualified than the NITs. The way of education and approach is also better in IIT, but it doesn't mean that NITs are not good. There have been founder of companies in India and abroad from both IITs and NITs and they are considered to be as a perfect benchmark by their institutes to prove themselves superior over the others. The research conducted in the US proved that IITians are among the leading founders of the top startups in America. Both IIT and NIT are equally responsible for the growth of the country in the fields of science and technology. Both IIT and NIT graduates are known to have achieved notable positions in leading companies both in India and abroad.

Hello, I am providing with the detailed comparison based on the basic and important parameters for engineering. To study in the right engineering institution, one needs to consider various factors of the institutions and view comparisons from different perspectives of the students. Below are few points that should be taken care about while making the selection. 1. Faculty When it comes to the quality of education provided IITs are ahead of the NITs. The professors in the IITs are better and more qualified than the NITs. The pattern of education and approach is also better in IIT, but it doesnt mean that NITs are not up to mark. Both these brands are extremely good in providing quality education and producing good engineers, but IITs have an edge over all others. IITs have much stricter guidelines about faculty recruitment. 2. Academic and Extra-Academic Environment IITs have much better infra-structure as they have good access to funding from the government. They have bigger campuses as well. But, the popularity of IITs among its engineering aspirants is highly driven by its educational and college environment. The ambience of IITs campus is both inspiring and vibrating with perfectly planned and aligned layout for the whole campus, libraries, and hostels. NITs infrastructure is good too if not the best. It is very impressive with its sophisticated libraries, hospitable classrooms, hostels in addition to computing facilities.The courses and electives offered by NITs are also highly appreciable. The chances of studying any subject of choice are rare in NITs. Yet, critics believe that the institution offers the best academic curriculum in engineering after IITs. 3. Research There is a lack of Research work in IITs but its almost non-existent at NITs. At Nagpur, only the ECE dept. & Chemical dept. are engaged in research, rest are busy in government jobs. 4. Entrepreneurial Culture IITs have a strong entrepreneurial culture which is missing at NITs. This trend is changing over time, but it'll take time. 5. Placements The top packages at top NITs is equal to those at IITs, but the average is considerably lower. Check placements in IITs and NITs for further details. The pay packages offered to students of IITs and NITs, depend entirely on candidates abilities, academic performances, and other important factors. Companies like Google, Microsoft, Facebook, Epic Systems etc. offer the same CTCs everywhere, but the recruitment number is

As per the companies perception, the package offered is equivalent and all recruiters are equivocal to say that both of the IITs and NITs are esteemed high-quality institution and at par. The only comparison comes when the newer IITs and NITs have seen moderate emerging placements. Hence, no conclusive evidence can prove which is better. My personal advice would be to stick with both but only older and established ones like IIT Guwahati, Madras, Bombay, Delhi, Gandhinagar, Kharagpur, Indore. With NITs you can go with Surathkal, Rourkela, Tiruchirapalli. Even for M.Tech, placements at above colleges are near 100% and all of them have demonstrated minimum average of 5 LPA as average salary on a consistent basis. In certain cases, IITs hold an edge in terms of global rankings, if you wish to apply for foreign universty for MS. Else, both have equal competitive edge and promise to give Lucrative career opportunities and best Faculty with wide experience across sectors. Hope this helps. All the best!

I will give you the answer by comparing the colleges of IIITs and NITs: IIIT (Indian Institute of Information Technology): The IIITs are of two types: Set-up, Funded and Managed by Ministry of Human Resource Development. Setup on Public Private Partnership (PPP), funded by Central Government, State Governments and Industry Partners in the ratio 50:35:15. The type 'a' college includes 4 colleges. These are also Institute of National Importance. These are somewhat old and well established. The type 'b' includes 20 colleges. The industry partners play a vital role in determining their syllabus and curriculum, which is advantage for them. As per the new IIIT Bill, these institutes are also Institute of National Importance. This college has a tag name 'Indian' and a brand name IIIT. In this college, the admission is base on the All India Quota, thus, its not like NITs where students having low rank get admission due to state quota. Like IITs, they also get a brand name 'Indian', instead of the 'National' tag. IIITs offer admissions only in the branches like CSE, ECE, IT, etc., which are core branches in the field of Information Technology. These branches offer a very high packages. This is the reason for the higher average salary of IIITs than NITs. The best IIITs includes IIIT Allahabad, IIIT Trichy, IIITDM Kanchipuram, etc. There are 24 IIITs in all. NIT (National Institute of Information Technology): These colleges were earlier RECs who later were changed to National Institute of Technology. These colleges are also Institute of National Importance. A few colleges are somewhat old and well established. For the admission to this college, 50% is reserved for the students of state quota and the other 50% to the other state quota. So, if you are going to join an NIT, its like similar that you are joining a college which is just similar and better than the state colleges. The top engineering colleges are IITs, I.e., Indian Institute of Technology, which got a brand name 'Indian'. NITs have 'National' tag instead. The NITs offer admission in almost all fields and branches, which is not in available in IIITs. The best NITs lies in the south, I.e., NIT Trichy, Warangal, Surathkal, Calicut. The other top NITs include NIT Allahabad, Jaipur, Bhopal, Nagpur, Kurukshetra, Durgapur, etc. There are 31 NITs in total. Thus, in my view, IIITs can be considered better than the NITs. All the best.

NITs and IIITs both take the admissions through JEE Mains ranks basis and are attractions for graduates and preferred by a completely different set domains per say. NITs were mostly regional engineering colleges that were renamed as NITs. There are 31 NITs funded by Govt itself. NITs almost give graduate programs in all domains. NITs provide all branches as mechanical, electrical, civil, electrical, chemical etc. IIITs were opened as a base for Information Technologies. There are total 23 IIITs out of which 5 are established and funded by MHRD. The remaining are set up as the Public-private partnership. Out of these 5 IIITs funded by MHRD, ones namely in Gwalior, Jabalpur, Allahabad, and Kanchipuram have been granted the status of institutes of national importance. Graduation from these IIITs is considered equivalent to NITs. First of all, decide which branch or domain you are inclined in. See, for example, all the IIITs won't provide you with mechanical engineering. Mechanically is only available in IIIT Jabalpur and IIIT Gandhinagar. IIITs might provide you with an upper hand when opting for branches like CSE or IT. For other branches especially core, you can opt for NITs as they offer these courses and also have better facilities. Choose Wisely.Best wishes!!
