NIT Kurukshetra and NIT Goa are reputed engineering colleges. But among these two colleges, choosing NIT Kurukshetra will be a better choice as it is better in terms of rankings and offers better placements to the students.
However, NIT Goa offers a better campus experience. Goa is a more happening place with beaches, tourist spots and its environment is more chilled and relaxed. But overall, NIT Kurukshetra is a better college with good faculty and placement opportunities.
My sister did her B.Tech from NIT Kurukshetra as it is one of the top-rated NIT and she had a wonderful time there.
So, I would suggest you to go for Electrical Engineering at NIT Kurukshetra. However to help you make a better decision here’s a comparison between the three colleges:
Particulars |
NIT Kurukshetra (EE) |
IIIT Lucknow (CSE) |
IIIT Guwahati (CSE) |
Fees (total) |
2.36 lacs |
9.72 lacs |
9 lacs |
Highest Package offered |
17 LPA |
43 LPA |
17 LPA |
Average package offered |
7.44 LPA |
18.4 LPA |
10.2 LPA |
Placement rate |
66.09% |
100% |
76% |
If you choose a better college over a branch then you will have an advantage during placements as companies would be aching to visit for hiring new students. You can have a better branch but it won’t matter as you wouldn’t get enough placement opportunities. Students from NIT are placed in some of the top multinational companies.
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.
Categories | BITS Goa |
Course Fee | 19.19 lakh |
Highest CTC | 23 LPA |
Average CTC | 14 LPA |
Recruiting Companies | Infosys, Schneider Electric, Reliance, Microsoft, etc. |
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.
This totally depends on your choices and interests. As the college administration is unknown towards your logical mind in doing computer programming all day or managing a manufacturing unit.
If you choose Mechanical Engineering as a branch, it is far better than Computers, where the second one is more subjective than the first one. For this reason, you can easily become an expert in computer programming, and it is not so easy to become a mechanical engineering expert.

But if you are interested in mechanical, or want to appear in IES after completing the BTech degree, then studying mechanical from MNNIT will be the best decision for you.
Besides, if you want to take Computer Science to be settled in top MNCs, studying CSE in PEC will be the best decision for you, rather than studying it in NIT K.
If you want to go to a technical branch then Delhi Technological University (DTU) should be your first choice.
In the following table, you will get basic information about IIIT Allahabad, IIIT Delhi, NIT Kurukshetra, DTU, and IIT Jammu.

Therefore, if you have a choice between IIIT Allahabad, IIIT Delhi, NIT Kurukshetra, DTU, and IIT Jammu then DTU is the best option. IIIT Allahabad and Delhi have good placement too. It is on you which institute you choose for your study.
A few of my friends graduated from IIIT Pune and here are some review points for you from their experience.
The location of IIIT Pune is not good. It is away from the city. It is situated in a small Maharashtrian village. No good facilities, not so developed, and no good roads.
Here is a brief overview of the two institutes.
Particulars | IIIT Pune | NIT Kurukshetra |
Placement percentage | 90% | 80% |
Highest CTC | 36 LPA | UG - 43.31 LPA PG - 17 LPA |

If you have any confusion, visit the place and check for yourself.

However, it is a choice that should be made by you. Refer to this while making a choice.
I have few friends from both NIT Kurukshetra and BITS Pilani, so I think I can answer the question. First, I would like to clarify that NIT Kurukshetra does not offer EEE, it offers EE. These two branches are quite different.
The only advantage of NIT K is the low course fee. So, given the option choose BITS Goa.
NIT Kurushetra and PEC both the institute are well-reputed and offer good CSE programs with Decent placements. NIRF has ranked NIT Kurukshetra at 40 and PEC at 68 among top B.Tech colleges.

NIT KKR has a great coding culture. Students participate in many competitive coding contests like CodeChef, Codeforces, Hackerrank, etc. The final year students also take competitive programming classes. Some of the students of this NIT also joined Google as software engineers or interns. Although improving the coding culture at PEC is not as developed.
A few of my friends graduated from NIT Kurukshetra and MNNIT Allahabad. According to them, MNNIT is a better institution. Here’s presenting some facts as to why they prefer MNNIT over NIT KKR.
Particulars | NIT Kurukshetra | MNNIT Allahabad |
Placement percent | 90% | 92% |
Highest salary | INR 43.31 LPA | INR 47 LPA |

It is suggested you go for IT at MNNIT but if you live near Kurukshetra you can go for NIT KKR. Check all the parameters before you finalize your option.
