The answer to the question may be crisp and short but a government college is better than a private college any day in India for higher education.

It is a comparison between two brands, BITS and NIT. The bigger and better brand is NIT when compared to BITS.

Apart from the great brand value of government colleges, studying and being graduated from a government-affiliated college has various advantages over other top private colleges. However, the option you prefer and want to pursue is completely your choice. Consider the parameters and opt for the best. 

BITS Pilani accepts international students who have attempted SAT. To be eligible you will need to appear for the Grade 12 (qualifying) examination, SAT, and SAT subject tests (in Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics level 2). 2390 in SAT is a good score and you are likely to get selected for admission. 

NIT Trichy will be difficult to get especially for CSE. The required cutoff is quite high for NIT Trichy. However, you can still apply for the program and if you are lucky you may get chosen. Generally, it is difficult because NIT Trichy is considered as one of the best NIT’s and it ranks over many IIT’s. You can also go through Google’s “DASA program in India” for admissions in other branches in different NIT’s. 

Go for NIT Rourkela if you are getting a seat in CSE. It is considered as one of the best NITs for CSE. 

The coding culture at the institute is outstanding and still developing day by day. You will be offered great exposure at NIT Rourkela. However, the institute has very high cut off and the competition is high.

Statistics –

BITS Pilani is a good option but not for ECE. It would be better if you go for CSE at NIT Rourkela.

Choosing neither of those choices would be outright foolishness. You would be foolish if you waste the chance of getting a seat here. 

BITS Goa and top NITs, both have their merits. Speaking from a friend’s experience with BITS Pilani Goa campus has great opportunities for CSE and for the overall development of students as well.

You can talk to someone from NITs about how things are there to get an idea, and then make a choice. Both institutions produce good engineers, so irrespective of what you choose, it will help you if you use the opportunity and facilities offered properly.

Among the 3 institutions mentioned above, I would suggest you go for BITS Pilani Goa or Hyderabad campus. Being a student of BITS Goa myself, I can say that it is one of the best colleges in the country.

• Most of these campuses are alike, differing just from the IITs.
• Academics at BITS are much better than NIT Kurukshetra (KKR).
• The placements at BITS are better than the newer IITs.
• The campus is well maintained and has modern infrastructure and facilities.
• They follow a no-reservation policy.
• It also has a better reputation than almost all NITs and newer IITs.
• The only thing which could be problematic for some students is the fees.

Finally, if you want to study in a good college, ECE at BITS Pilani Goa campus will be a really good option. As it will provide you with enough exposure.

NSUT is the winner among the two engineering institutes. The reasons for the win are below.

• NSUT has a superior ranking by the Ministry of Education. It is ranked 76th in NIRF Ranking for Engineering 2020. BITS has no place in the rank.
• NSUT has the location advantage as it is in the capital city. Delhi is more accessible to the students, guest faculties, and recruitment companies.
• Another main reason is the return on investment (ROI). ROI of NSUT is the best as compared to BITS. The fee of BITS is extremely high that it can take a toll on the pockets of students. Students do not have to worry about borrowing or paying back their education loans.

The details about fees and the placements of both institutes are below.

Overall, NSUT is the best as per the above points. The institute provides better growth opportunities for students.
