My friend was a student of MSIT at IIIT Hyderabad. According to him, from a placements point of view, you should rather sit for PGEE conducted by IIIT Hyderabad and take admission into the M.Tech course offered by this institution.
If you wish to land a job at Google, MSIT won’t allow you to sit for its placements. This is because Google doesn't hire MSIT students. Only M.Tech and B.Tech students are allowed to sit for the placements of top brands like Google, Microsoft, Facebook, Adobe, Amazon, Cisco, Walmart, Indeed, Uber, Samsung, etc. More than 150 companies visit the IIIT Hyderabad campus to hire B.Tech and M.Tech students. M.Tech CSE students are placed with an average package of around INR 31 LPA.
MSIT course is like revising the concepts of Computer Science up to your B.Tech level. The only bonus is that you will get to do a project for every programming language. MSIT is useful if you belong to a non CS/IT background in B.Tech as it will allow you to learn Computer Science from basics.
Thus, for good placement offers, go for the M.Tech CSE/ M.Tech Computer Science and Information Security instead of the MSIT program at IIIT Hyderabad.
Choosing between NIT Agartala and a private university depends mainly on two factors, the branch you are getting at NIT and obviously your financial situation.
One needs to be financially strong if one wants to join private colleges. Moreover, not every private college is good and most of them have a poor crowd that got in by paying huge amounts. The most credible ones are BITS Pilani, BIT Meshra, VIT Vellor and VIT Bhopal. Unless you are getting these colleges, it’s better to join NIT Agartala.
If you have financial constraints or want to get the NIT tag, then NIT Agartala is a much better choice. However, the placements of some branches are really bad here so you can also upgrade your branch after your 1st year to CSE or ECE.
Ultimately, the decision will depend on your personal preferences and financial condition.

According to some of my friends who attended DU SOL, colleges are allotted but not on a frequent basis, just for Personal Contact Program classes only. These PCP classes are held in various colleges across DU and you will get assigned a college to attend these classes.
Further, they will assist you with the study material. So it's upon you whether you want to attend classes or want to study at home by yourself.
These classes are held on Saturday and Sunday. Also, these are not compulsory to attend. You won’t be able to enjoy the life of a regular student and will be able to attend only PCP classes in the allotted college.
IGNOU is a public university governed by the statutes of the Indian Parliament under the IGNOU Act, which authorises IGNOU to confer degrees and diplomas in any discipline and mode: regular, distance, online, or hybrid.
Because IGNOU is a self-governing authority directly under MHRD, India, and its Chancellor is the President of India, it does not require approval from UGC, AICTE, DEB, MCI, or any other statutory body.
However, IGNOU may, at its sole discretion, request that any of the aforementioned authorities state that they have recognised IGNOU programmes. When compared to internationally renowned universities, including Ivy Leagues, GNOU's curriculum, programme design, flexibility, grading methodology, quality of delivery, and evaluation system are on par or even above the bar.
Only hardworking, self-motivated, and 'creators of their own careers' individuals should pursue IGNOU programmes, while those who rely on institutions to help them get placed with good packages due to industry tie-ups should do otherwise.

Dr. A P J Abdul Kalam Technical University isn’t a good option for pursuing technical courses. The curriculum followed by the institute is outdated. You will only learn the theoretical aspects of engineering. It doesn’t offer the practical hands-on experience students require to excel in the technical field.

It can be difficult to get your hands on the previous year’s question paper of Patna University. Since the university takes back the question paper after the examination. However, you can get these question papers from the book shops situated opposite the university. There are also a few websites created by the students of the university where you can find the question papers.
