Which one is better for CSE: Jaypee Institute of Information Technology or NIT Hamirpur?
There are several factors which one can consider while comparing two institutions. Here are some things that I considered while choosing my college.
NIT Hamirpur will offer you the prestigious ‘NIT’ tag. As compared to other colleges in this region, the environment over there is superior. By environment I mean the learning, interaction and personal development offered at an institution. The placements are continuously improving with new companies visiting the campus each year, offering better packages. This college has shown positive growth in terms of exposure and student- teacher interaction as well.
Even though I’m a student of NIT Hamirpur, my opinion is devoid of such biases. Thus, according to me, NIT Hamirpur is a better choice for your CSE program.
What things need to be changed in NIT Hamirpur?
Though this is a subjective question, here are a few things I would personally like for NIT Hamirpur to change-
- The teaching methodology and overall administration should be changed. Things like semester registration and hostel allotment should be shifted to online mode.
- Hostel allotment shouldn’t be done on a first come first serve basis.
- Document verification should be moved online.
- There should be branch-specific subjects from the first year itself.
- Students’ feedback on teachers should be taken seriously.
- There shouldn’t be classes for open electives.
- Better senior junior interaction should be facilitated.
- Buses should be provided each day on time, so that students can visit the market.
Though NIT Hamirpur is a wonderful place, I would very much wish for these changes to be made in its overall management.
What should I prefer, MNIT Jaipur civil, NIT Hamirpur ECE, EE, or NIT Kurukshetra EE?
It's tough to choose between MNIT Jaipur Civil, NIT Hammirpur ECE, EE, or NIT Kurukshetra EE. The answer depends on your interests alone. However here are a few things you would like to consider
- Interest : This may not be the best criteria to determine the right branch because engineering students are mere class 12 pass-outs having no knowledge outside their PCM syllabus.
- Placements : If you are after hefty packages, then you will have to prioritize branch over college. Here is the preference order you can follow CSE>IT>Mech=ECE>EE>Civil
- Government jobs : If you are willing to work in the government sector or PSU, then NIT Kurukshetra is the right place for you. A lot of PSUs visit the institute every year. But here choice of branch and college both matters. The choice of the branch for this should be Mech>Civil>EE>ECE.
- Civil Services Preparation: If you are planning to prepare for Civil services, then choose NIT Kurukshetra over NIT Hamirpur because the workload is less and you will get a lot of free time to study. You can go for branches like civil, electrical, and mechanical.
- MBA : If you are planning to pursue an MBA then your branch doesn't matter. What matters is the brand of the college you hail from. NIT not only provides the NIT tag but also gives you enough time to prepare for the CAT.
- MS/Mtech/Research : If you want to pursue a career in research, or pursue an MS from a foreign university, then choose ECE. This field has a lot of scope in terms of research.
Ultimately, the final decision depends on your inclinations and future prospects so choose wisely.
Which is better: metallurgy in MNIT or civil in NIT Hamirpur?
Both MNIT and NIT Hamirpur are reputed institutes in India. Every coin has two sides, so you need to choose your path wisely at this point; otherwise, you will regret it throughout your life. Priority should be given to your interest in the subject. Now let's talk about the colleges.
MNIT Jaipur
- It is ranked 70th among the other Engineering colleges in India by MHRD
- The location is commendable, and connectivity to different parts of the nation is possible
- You can easily access all the shopping malls and famous shops
- The climate is very bad; it is difficult to tolerate the hot weather
NIT Hamirpur

- Well-road connectivity, you can easily access to bus, trains, or planes

- This institute is situated in the foothills of the Himalayas. You can enjoy the beauty of lush, green nature. Here, you will have the best days of your life
Therefore, NIT Hamirpur is a better choice than MNIT
Should I do chemical engineering from NIT Hamirpur or CSE from Jaypee Solan?
NIT Hamirpur should be your first choice. The NIT tagline will help you get more opportunities than students from other colleges. If your area of interest is coding, then go for the CSE branch. You should only go for your claim, and never force yourself to study; instead, your interest should drive your studies. So opt for NIT Hamirpur to get good opportunities.
