Is Jadavpur University better than NIT Durgapur? If yes, which stream would be preferred?
Both the colleges have their pros and cons. Your choice of college should be based on branch. I did my Mechanical from NIT Durgapur and my friend did his Mechanical from Jadavpur University. I am eligible to answer this question.
First of all, JU is much higher in ranking than NIT Durgapur. Also, the fees at JU are way more affordable. As JU is located in Kolkata, IT companies visit the campus more often. As far as core courses are concerned, the faculty for ME especially, is good at both the colleges. But core placements are much better at NIT Durgapur because PSUs visit the campus. On the other hand, JU students have to sit for GATE.
If you wish to study CS, IT or ECE, choose Jadavpur University without second thought. As far as core jobs are concerned, choose NIT Durgapur.

There are a number of reasons why IIIT Hyderabad is underrated, especially among the Indian masses. I will be stating three main reasons
- IIIT Hyderabad is more famous for its coding culture than its research culture. Due to its massive participation in GSOC and MNC placements, the masses fail to realize that it's a research university. It has done excellent research in some areas of computer science.
- IIIT Hyderabad has only two branches so it’s with CS is the main focus so it fails to attract a diverse crowd.

These are some of the common reasons for IIIT Hyderabad being an underrated institute today.
