Whether a backlog affects placements in NIT Jalandhar or not varies from company to company. These are various circumstances of backlogs and their consequences:

1. No current backlogs: this means you had a backlog in previous years that has already been cleared. In this case, most companies allow you to sit for placements.

2. Current backlog: This means you have a backlog in the current semester. Most companies don’t let you sit for placements but some ask you to clear your backlog and then join.

3. Backlog after placement: If you get a backlog in a subject after the placement, then you will have to clear it before joining. In case you have more than one backlog and are unable to clear it, you will end up losing your job.

So it’s better you focus on your CGPA, especially in the last semester. We know that prevention is better than cure. Rather than losing your job, it’s better you work hard on your grades.

Both the NITs Jalandhar and Jamshedpur are equally good in all aspects. Be it faculty, placements, rankings, curriculum or facilities, both the NITs give each other tough competition, NIT Jamshedpur will give some extra benefits because it’s like:

• Strong alumni base as it is older

• Better location as it is managed by TATAs

• Covers major industrial areas of our country so better opportunities.

The ultimate factor to decide should be your proximity and regional parameters.

It’s good to see institutes other than IIT gaining fame. But the parameter of such assumptions is not good. Why do we Indians judge an institute mere based on the packages they offer. There are so many other false factors that increase or decrease the value of a man institute. So before deciding that NITs have become better than IITs consider the following points:

• Placements and packages alone cannot determine the worth of a college. 

• Including IITs no college in India actually conducts the type of research a country needs.

• There are many instances wherein companies prefer going to an average college for recruitment than a better ranked one. This is because they can than assure the sustainability of talents. 

• The starting salaries don’t help you succeed in the long run.

So we cannot say with certainty that NITs have overpowered IITs just because they were able to land better packages.

In every way, the two NITs outperform Anna University. Students' quality, infrastructure, teaching, labs, hostels, campus life, job placements, and festivals are all important factors. Please keep in mind that job placement is not everything. It cannot be the sole criterion for selecting a college. You should consider the teaching, library, and lab infrastructure, and, most importantly, the student intake.

If you're going to live in a hostel for four years, make sure the student peer groups are on your wavelength. You should consider staying in a hostel because it will enable you to gain life experience and mature as a person.
