Every college has its strengths and weaknesses and so does NIT Raipur. What matters is if those drwbakc affect you or not and you are willing to compromise on those or not. Here are a few drawbacks of NIT Raipur

1. The hostels are allotted on the basis of your ranks and then their CGPA later. So not every student gets accommodation facilities. This might be a major point of concern for many.
2. The institute has below average infrastructural facilities in terms of sports, and provision of basic items. However, there is a market right behind NIT Raipur.
3. NIT Raipur has no huge auditoriums for workshops and convocation. The largest auditorium accommodates merely 200 students so huge events like. fests and convocations are held under pandals on the college grounds.
4. NIT Raipur does not encourage a research culture, unlike other NITs that have an active research culture. 
5. The curriculum is nit at par with industrial trends and many irrelevant courses are included.

Hope this solved your query.

My brother graduated in B.Tech (CS) from Sant Longowal Institute of Engineering and Technology. I have heard about the advantages and disadvantages of enrolling in SLIET.

Campus:-
 

• The campus is moderately large with 448 acres.
• Fully furnished labs, well-maintained furniture, and a huge library with a good collection of books and journals, and research papers. 
• It has 13 clean hostels with a very good connection of high-speed LAN. It has sports facilities, medical services, a temple, a Gurudwara, ATM, banks, a shopping complex, and student activity centers.
• One huge stadium to play multiple sports such as cricket, football, etc, a swimming pool, one beautiful lake, and two ponds, a hygienic canteen, and a restaurant with multiple eating joints.

Placements:-

If you spend your four years in this university, it wouldn’t be a waste of your money. Earlier, the placement of this college wasn’t good enough but last year a total of 41 companies visited the university and 195 students got placed in the best companies. Due to COVID, the placement is still in progress.

The top recruiters who came to the university in 2020 were Cognizant, Hindustan Unilever Limited, Nestle India, Capgemini, Softstar, Nature Bio Food, TCS, Ralson, Godrej, and many more. 

Thus, the University keeps academics on priority and fun at the same time.

It’s highly illogical to compare DTU or even IIIT Delhi with the top 3 NITs that enjoy the status of Institutes of National Importance. The NITs are second only to the IITs and fall in the same league as old IITs and BITS Pilani. They are way ahead of these Delhi colleges in terms of exposure, placements, and coding culture. 

Despite a huge batch size, DTU has limited offers with good packages. While NIT Warangal has a small batch yet a huge number of students getting above 20 LPA.

NIT Surathkal has an excellent record of GSOC Selections while DTU is not even among the top 12 engineering colleges in terms of GSOC selections. Additionally, NIT Surathkal is the first campus that ATTLASIAN visited for placement. 

Overall, the top 3 NITs are way superior to DTU and IIIT Delhi in terms of peer groups, academics, research, return on Investment, NIRF Ranking, campus life, and brand value.

Personally, I will recommend you to follow the following preference order

NIT Trichy CSE>NIT Surathkal CSE>NIT Warangal CSE>NIT Surathkal Information Technology (IT)>DTU CSE>IIIT Delhi CSE

It is not a hidden fact that IIT Kharagpur has one of the biggest college campuses in India. It is larger than IIT Bombay, Delhi, and Kanpur combined together. In fact, the agriculture and food engineering department of IITKGP is bigger than IIT Delhi itself.

It has more than 20 departments offering a plethora of courses like Computer Science, Ocean Engineering and Naval Architecture, Aerospace Engineering, and Exploration geophysics.

Some major highlights of IIT Kharagpur's infrastructure and amenities are 

• Law School, Rajiv Gandhi School of Intellectual law
• A Management School, Vinod Gupta School of Management 
• Hospital, B.C.Roy Technology Hospital
• A medicine research center
• 3 helipads 
• 3 lakes
• Nehru Museum 
• Computer and Informatics Centre 
• The Tagore Open-Air theater 
• Gymkhana Lake 
• Own Hangar (Where Airplanes were kept during the world war) 
• A Bomb house (used during world war) 
• Prison cells where Nationalists were kept by the British
• The Lal Bahadur Shastri Hall of Residence, the largest hall in Asia that can accommodate around 1800 students

IITKGP is one of the most beautiful colleges in the country. One can visit the campus to really understand its uniqueness. Being the oldest and biggest, IIT Kharagpur is called the Mother of IITs.

Before joining NIT Agartala, even I had many misconceptions about this institution. These were mostly regarding the connectivity, environment, culture, diet, infrastructure, faculty and placements.

Now that I have experienced life at NITA, I am in a position to break these misconceptions about NITA and NITS-

• Lack of connectivity- Maharaja Bir Bikram airport is just 26 km away from NIT Agartala, and Jirania railway station is just 3 kilometers away. NIT Silchar is just 35 km away from Silchar Airport, and the railway station is 10 km away from the campus. These towns have an absence of traffic jams and efficient transport services.

• Terrorism problem- This is a complete myth. Both Agartala and Silchar are really peaceful places.

• Culture and People- No, the people aren’t ‘uncivilized’. Tripura has one of the highest literacy rates in India. Silchar is an eminent trading center and knowledge hub in the Northeast. Both have medical colleges, research centers, and central universities. 

• Infrastructure- NIT Agartala has one of the most advanced infrastructures among Indian colleges. NITS has all the infrastructural facilities. Some facilities included in NITA and NITS are- Supercomputers, Scanning electron microscope, and ISRO innovation incubation centre (NITA). NITS has Asia’s largest digital library. Besides that, both have good workshops and labs, a modern sports complex, auditoriums, restaurants, wifi facility, a swimming pool and a gym.

• Placements- Both offer decent placements. The average package goes to around 5-7 LPA for them. 

• Food- The food at mess is good. It caters to the dietary needs of people from all across India, and even foreign lands.

• Faculty- The faculty is excellent at NITS. At NITA, some teachers aren’t good while others are very helpful and learned. 

I hope that you will consider NIT Agartala and NIT Silchar for your higher studies. Both are very good colleges. 

In terms of academics and placements, Anna University is decent. The university has eight faculties and 30 departments. It offers UG, PG, and doctorate courses. It has collaborated with 37 international universities for student exchange programs. 

Anna University placements are good. Ashok Leyland, Accenture, Infosys, Wipro, etc. are among the major recruiters that take part in the campus placements. During the recent placement drive, students received an average CTC of around INR 7 LPA. While the highest CTC offered was INR 36 LPA.
