A relative of mine used to be a student of NIT Agartala. If you are talking in terms of the quality of the education, then NIT Durgapur is better than Agartala. NIT Agartala is good, though. You will be able to prepare for your ESE, PSU, GATE examinations here.

After completion of your first year in NIT Agartala, you will get the opportunity to change your branch. This is called the ‘Sliding Process’.
