Which is better, VNIT, Nagpur or MNIT, Jaipur?
The choice between VNIT Nagpur and MNIT Jaipur actually depends on many personal factors. You need to first determine your expectations from the degree and college only then can you make a sound decision.
The truth is that every NIT has its unique strengths and weaknesses and you alone can choose what to overlook and what to consider. Every NIT has unique professors with their unique pedagogy, different Infrastructure, and different placement scenarios. That being said, you need to choose wisely based on the factors that you prioritize.
Which is the best department of NIT Rourkela?
My brother is pursuing his B.Tech Electrical from NIT Rourkela. Sometimes he feels that he made a mistake by choosing Electrical over CSE because of the popularity of the latter.
However, he soon overcomes these thoughts. This is because Electrical has a really good scope on a global scale. Even if he doesn’t land a dream job through placements, the option of higher studies is always open for him. The curriculum of Electrical includes topics from allied branches- ECE and CSE. Unlike the popular belief among NIT Rourkela students, Electrical is not just about electrical machines and power systems. Microprocessors, Embedded Systems, Signal Processing, Communication Engineering, Measurements and Instrumentation are all included in the Electrical curriculum.
B.Tech Electrical has a very interdisciplinary nature wherein you will not learn about one specific arena, but, the curriculum will allow you to understand what really interests you. You can then pursue your higher studies in your field of interest. B.Tech Electrical is so flexible that it allows you to migrate to almost any other engineering field that you want.
I would highly recommend B.Tech Electrical if you have a passionate interest in Maths and Physics. Also, a PG in this branch will allow you to truly understand its nuances and become a specialist in this field. Thus, Electrical is the best department at NIT Rourkela according to me.

Is Karunya University too strict?
Karunya University is very strict for all the students. The college hostel feels like captivity with high-rise walls, strict rules, and regulations.
- There is a complete curfew for girls from 6.30 and boys from 8.30 in the evening.
- You must stay in the hostel no matter whether they live in close vicinity to the college campus.
- Even mobile phones are completely banned on the campus and no one is allowed to use them.
- If anyone is found smoking on the campus, he/she is straight away suspended and a copy of the suspension letter is sent to the home.
Apart from strictness, the college provides many facilities that the students can avail and enjoy studying.
Lastly, we can conclude that by being very strict, Karunya University may not find its place in the hearts of many students due to the unnecessary restrictions that are imposed on students.
Which one should I choose, NSIT CSE or NIT Surathkal IT branch or MNNIT Allahabad CSE knowing that I stay in Delhi?
NSIT CSE is the better choice than NIT Surathkal IT and MNNIT Allahabad CSE. This is because it's located in the capital city which is a hub of budding startups and companies. Delhi also has excellent coaching institutes for preparation for CAT, coding, and GATE. The institute, therefore, offers better opportunities for development and learning. Additionally, the capital city has many places to explore so you can have a fun off-campus life too.
NIT Surathkal on the other hand is away from the hustle and bustle of the metro city so if you prefer a peaceful college experience then choose NIT Surathkal.
So, if you want to stay in the capital and experience a dynamic life, choose IIIT Delhi or NSIT else go for NIT Surathkal.
