IIIT Allahabad has an awesome coding culture. You can note the difference when you interact with a lot of engineers from other colleges. In old engineering colleges for the first year, you would be doing foundry and welding. You might also end up learning English etc. but actual coding starts after 1st semester or in the second year. While at IIIT Allahabad coding starts from the very beginning of the course.

The table shows a brief overview of the institutions.

Also, there is a great culture of competitive programming in the institute. There are students in other premium engineering colleges who wouldn't have coded completely their engineering. This is unheard of in IIIT Allahabad.
There are several reasons supporting the cause that NIT Trichy is better than NIT Surathkal, with the fact that there are unemployed M.Tech graduates even from NIT Surathkal. The table below gives a brief overview of the institutes.

One of my friends got ousted from M.Tech in NIT Surathkal due to poor marks in the beginning semester. In the next year, he got into NIT Trichy and successfully secured a PSU job in placement. On the other hand, there were several students from that batch of NIT Surathkal who remained unemployed.
In the batch of 2012-14, about 29 students from M.Tech were unplaced in NIT Surathkal. Even the training and placement cell and the department did not care about the failure of so many students.
There are students from NIT Surathkal who are still struggling with odd jobs in hand, and some are even unable to settle in life.
So, if you have to choose between NIT Surathkal and NIT Trichy, prefer NIT Trichy. You will get better placement and opportunities at NIT Trichy as compared to NIT Surathkal.
My friend is currently pursuing B.Tech from NIT Raipur in the mechanical department. His honest opinion says that you should go for metallurgy at NIT Trichy. Here’s why
So, if you simply want to get into a better place then choose NIT Trichy. This is because you can get the advantage of branch sliding anyhow. However, if you don’t want to take risk of not getting the desired branch, then go for NIT Raipur.
At last, sort your preferences and know your sole aim. Because in the long run, your happiness and satisfaction are what matters the most!
As one of my friends studied at NIT Trichy, I might favor it among the others. Also I do not have much idea about the other mentioned colleges. Do interact with some ex-students of these colleges to get a proper understanding of them.
Let me share why I favor pursuing Chemical Engineering at NIT Trichy over other colleges:
Categories | Chemical Engineering at NIT Trichy |
Course Fee | 5.65 lakh |
Course Duration | 4 years |
Highest CTC | 18 LPA |
Average CTC | 7.5 LPA |
Lowest CTC | 4 LPA |
Recruiting Companies | ITC, Saint Gobain, Reliance, Shell India, etc. |
Therefore, it is suggested that you go for Chemical Engineering at NIT Trichy. It is a reputed institution and will help you in shaping your future ahead. It is the best among all the NITs.
Among BITS Goa ECE and NIT Trichy EEE, the latter is a better option. NIT Trichy will give you better exposure and opportunities.
Most companies that visit the campus placement of NIT Trichy allow EEE students to sit for placement. You can appear in interviews for IT, Management job roles along with core job roles. Also, PSU visits the campus placements and mostly prefers EEE students for recruitments. Which can’t be said for many campuses. Here are the recent placement highlights for NIT Trichy.
Average CTC | 6 LPA |
Placement average | 92% |
Major recruiters | Wipro, HP, HCL, Volvo |
BITS Goa is also a good option but comparably you will get better opportunities at NIT Trichy.
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.
Even though both institutes are good, one has the tag of being an IIT, and the other ranks #9 on the NIRF ranking scale; however, they can't be compared this way. One of my friends is from IIT Gandhinagar, I’ll describe it for you.

Moreover, there are no hostel timings or restrictions on movement for both boys and girls. The course structure is also very flexible and focuses more on an individual's interest and expansion of skills. IIT Gandhinagar is a new IIT and is still trying to establish its reputation as an IIT, whereas NIT Trichy has an excellent reputation that matches that of 6 of the old IITs. Some of my friends claim that it provides better funding for research.
IIIT Allahabad does not offer CSE as far as all the NITs in India are concerned, NIT Trichy is the best. The CSE department is quite well recognized too in the institute.

When it comes to IIITs, these mainly focus on academic life and not many extracurricular activities. So, if you are getting admission at both these colleges, you should go with NIT Trichy.
ECE is in any way superior to Civil Engineering. NIT Trichy is also a really good institute, so don't just go for the IIT tag. Taking Civil in a new IIT (or even in an older IIT) will limit your options, in terms of location or something else.
You might not get as many opportunities as you might get for ECE, given that the packages offered for ECE branches are comparatively always better.

If you had the option of choosing a circuital branch in IIT BBS, then it would be highly recommended to you, but since you are considering Civil, it is a better choice.
A few of my friends pursued ECE at NIT Trichy and IIT Gandhinagar and here are some tips for you from their experience.

NIT Trichy is a better choice. Don’t go for IIT Gandhinagar just because of the IIT tag, consider the above mentioned factors too.
