NIT Durgapur and IIEST Shibpur both are excellent universities for pursuing Bachelor's and Master's in Engineering. Both institutes are located in different parts of West Bengal in famous areas. NIT Durgapur has been ranked and 46th in Engineering Category by the NIRF Rankings in India. It does carry a reputation value to the degree by being a premier institute of Engineering. IIEST is a lesser-known institute but well advanced in their research faculty and content.

In a nutshell:

Courses:

• Metallurgy or Biotechnology at NIT can only be selected after the first year depending on the marks scored by the candidate. Since it is a premier institute, it will be relatively difficult to get the subject of your choice.
• At IIEST, metallurgy is offered in B.Tech however, mining engineering is only offered in the dual program of B.Tech + M.Tech. Thus students who wish to pursue mining engineering at IIEST Shibpur will have to go for the dual degree program.

Admission:

Admission at NIT would be much more competitive than IIEST. It requires a higher JEE mains rank. The choice of the subject involves even more competitiveness as it is done at the end of the first year based on CGPA. Most students who get selected at NIT do not wish to go for metallurgy, however, if you are interested, then it is one of the best institutes. IIEST is relatively easy when it comes to admissions and choice of subjects.

Placements:

• At IIEST metallurgy and mining are considered as research-based subjects and thus do not have high paid placements at the start. However, the mining course does offer better placements and opportunities to study at other premium and specific institutes in India which can land a good job in the future.
• NIT Durgapur, on the other hand, can provide better placements due to its reputation standard.

The B.Tech. program at IIEST may not hold much value, but it is supplemented by excellent research professors who encourage students to take part in national missions and research projects. The competitiveness at NIT won’t provide that opportunity to every student.

IIEST Shibpur holds rank #21 according to the NIRF ranking 2020. The admission is based on JEE Main/WB JEE scores and followed by counseling and interview. For graduate courses, GATE scores are the basis for admission.

Delhi Technological University (DTU) and MNNIT Allahabad have numerous opportunities for the students opting to do civil engineering. DTU has an upstanding ranking record as it was ranked at #2 in Best Technological Universities in India by Times Engineering Survey and #34 by NIRF. MNNIT on the other hand was ranked at #14 in the Top Public colleges in India 2020 by India today and #19 for B.Tech in India 2019 by The Week.

A comparison is presented below to explain the factors to be considered while choosing civil engineering course from these two universities:

Admission Criteria:

• DTU – Admission into DTU is granted based on 10+2 results and JEE Main exam results. The university gives 40% weightage to CBSE results and 60% weightage to JEE Main scores. Students applying in this college need a minimum of 60% marks in aggregate of Chemistry, Mathematics, and Physics along with English being one of the main subjects.
• MNNIT Allahabad – students require a minimum of 75% with science stream in their 10+2 results or feature among the top twenty percentile. Further, for selection JEE Main scores are considered.

Campus Placement:

• DTU – the placement cell of DTU has a stellar record by achieving 100% placement in the previous years. Outlook India ranked DTU as #1 college in the placement category. In 2019, 323 companies visited DTU and the highest package offered was a whopping 1.02 Cr. (INR).
• MNNIT Allahabad – a total of 285 companies visited MNNIT’s campus for recruitment in 2019 and out of the eligible 1174 students, 792 were placed.

Scholarships offered:

The University of Delhi offers certain scholarships to DTU students such as-

• Inder Kohli and Anand Kohli Scholarships to the students passing Senior Secondary School Examination with first division marks
• Pandit Man Mohan Nath Dhar Scholarship for undergraduate financially weak students

When it comes to placement and scholarship opportunities, DTU does have a certain edge and MNNIT has an edge in terms of lower course fees. But eventually, all the factors relevant in an individual case need to be analyzed before selecting in between these two universities.
