One college can be better than the other in one aspect but not in another aspect. So we need to look into individual factors while comparing NIT Silchar and AEC.

• Academics : Academically both NITS and AEC are at a similar level. To be a topper you will have to work hard on your own at either college.
• Location : Location-wise, AEC in Guwahati fares better than NIT in Silchar a very remote area. Although both the institutes are in Assam, AEC is in the heart of the North East and enjoys good connectivity while Silchar is 340 km away from Guwahati. AEC has many places to explore in and around the city while NIT Silchar does not. 
• Placements : Both institutes have a good number of companies visiting during placements but NIT Silchar attracts the better lot mainly because of the NIT tag. AEC has mediocre placements and the highest package is around IN 20 LPA while the highest package of NIT Silchar recorded last year stood at INR 44 LPA. 
• Brand : Engineering students value brand names and tags a lot and NIT is a brand that is recognizable in every part of the country. So even if you dont belong to the top NITs, the NIT tag will help you stand out among a crowd of engineers. 
• Campus life: Both colleges encourage extracurricular activities to a certain extent but in NIT you get to experience events like Inter NIT Championships for any Sports/Robotics Competition etc

It's safe to conclude that NIT Silchar will offer a wider range of opportunities and exposure than AEC.

Scoring a CGPA of 9+ at NIT Silchar is challenging but not impossible. With the right mindset and strategy, one can easily attain this score. However, the study strategy varies from person to person to person. Here is what my brother at NIT Silchar followed that helped him score a CGPA of 9+

• Attend classes regularly : Oke can never underestimate the knowledge you gain during classroom sessions because when you revise the same afterward it engraves better. So try to attend classes for the important subjects. 
• Class notes: Maintaining and studying from the class notes is a crucial step while aiming for a high CGPA. For most subjects, going through class notes is more than enough to score decently. grades. However, you are aiming for a 9+ so you need to refer to other sources too. Make digital notes from the PPTs and PDFs.
• Study everything: Try not to skip any topic however minuscule it may seem to be. 
• Write concise answers : While attempting the paper, make sure your answers are crisp and to the point. Exaggerating won’t help you and might even result in a negative marking. Try to write the answers in points rather than paragraphs.
• Numerical: Don’t just go through numericals but practice them daily as they are very scoring.
• Time Management: Manage your time well while attempting your exam.
• Other sources : If you are targeting a high GPA, you cannot solely rely on class notes. Study from standard books and understand the concepts well.

Lastly, don’t make the purpose of your life to achieve a high CGPA and sacrifice your passions and hobbies in the process.

NIT Silchar is a prestigious engineering college that imparts quality education in various fields. However, the PG courses aren't very well-known and only the UG courses have gained fame over time. It is therefore advisable to check the profiles of the teachers in the respective department.

Additionally, NIT Silchar is located in a remote location and you might find it difficult to procure your equipment for projects. MTech depends on the quality of the research and project you have completed and if you fail to accomplish it your MTech degree is invaluable. 

Most companies visiting NIT Silchar prefer BTech students to MTech students. So getting a good job let alone a core job is very difficult here. The institute has no international ties so your future prospects may narrow down further.

Consider all the above factors before making your final decision!

If you look at all the criteria MHRD takes into consideration while ranking institutes, NIT Silchar is at par with most NITs but in terms of research, and infrastructure. The only parameter in which NIT Silchar was behind NIT Warangal was reputation and the difference was drastic. This affected the overall ranking of the institute in turn lowering the NT Silchar cutoffs.

I think the major reason behind its poor reputation is its remote location and the rumors related to it. It's falsely rumored to be in a Naxalite region and the exposure is believed to be minimal. The institute has a bad reputation, particularly in North India. 

I have friends from several NITs and I have safely concluded that NIT Silchar is better than many but it's difficult to convince people of the same and the institute has a bad reputation. 

To fix this problem, we need our alumni to be more active in portraying the right image of the institute. Additionally, the institute should hold more inter-college events and strive to build a reputation.
