Maulana Abul Kalam Azad University of Technology CSE is better compared to NIT Agartala ECE. It offers better placements. MAKAUT Kolkata placements are great for CSE. Each year around 85% of students get placed from the branch. The average CTC for the branch is around INR 4 LPA. While the highest CTC goes up to around INR 14 LPA. Major companies such as IBM, Infosys, Wipro, etc. recruit from MAKAUT.
The short answer is CSE at IIIT Guwahati. If you are primarily interested in programming and coding culture, CSE at IIIT Guwahati is the best choice. However, if you are strongly passionate about any branch then college must not make a huge difference.
I have friends studying in all of these colleges and honestly, they do differ according to their ranking and branch. But if you are keen on CSE then such factors become secondary.
Nevertheless, here are some things you must know before choosing.

All three institutes are well-reputed and have their advantages and disadvantages. You should compare the institutes based on the specific course you want to pursue and choose that one offering the better program for that.
There are many things to consider before choosing a college. It depends on your home town and the distance of your home from the institutes.
If you want to live in a place that looks like heaven on earth, then you may choose NIT Srinagar. But then you should consider that Jammu and Kashmir is not a very peaceful area. If you want peace then choose one from NIT Sikkim or NIT Agartala.
Here is a brief highlight of the placement statistics of NIT Srinagar, NIT Agartala, and NIT Sikkim.
Institute | NIT Srinagar | NIT Agartala | NIT Sikkim |
Highest salary | 22 LPA | 36 LPA | 18 LPA |
Average salary | 13 LPA | 4.5 – 5 LPA | 8 LPA |
Top recruiters | HP, Reliance, Honda | L&T Infotech, Vedanta, Axis Bank | Amdocs, DRDO, Bosch |
So, go through the above factors and choose according to your convenience.
NIT Silchar is the best choice in terms of placement & ROI for an engineering program among NIT Agartala, NIT Mizoram, NIT Nagaland, NIT Manipur, NIT Meghalaya, NIT Sikkim and NIT Arunachal Pradesh.
In 2023 companies like Microsoft, Amazon, Adobe and offered the highest package of 80 lakh per year and average package is 14 lakh per year and the placement percentage is 90%.
This indicates that NIT Silchar offers the best deals in placement with 100% opportunity. This university emphasizes industry exposure through guest lectures, workshops, and internships, which can enhance your employability. Jeez Lazar (Executive Director, JP MORGAN), Prasanta Kr Das (Country Manager, Enterprise Services, HEWLETT PACKARD), and many more notable personalities are alumni.
Selecting NIT Silchar for my placement will be a wise decision. The exceptional courses, expert faculty, and modern facilities ensure to provide an excellent education.
I will always suggest you give preference to the branch over the college. NIT Jalandhar and NIT Raipur are better colleges for CSE than NIT Patna and NIT Silchar. Another good option is ECE at NIT Allahabad or NIT Calicut as most of the companies let ECE students sit for software engineering roles during placements.
I am strongly against you joining mechanical engineering if you are already getting CSE/IT/ECE at NITs. Ultimately, it’s your preferences that will help choose the best college!

Students pursuing ECE can work as Electronics Engineer, Field Test Engineer, Network Planning Engineer, Electronics and Communications Consultant, Research and Development Software Engineer. CSE will provide more scope due to the rapid development and growth of the corporate world and IT sectors. There is a constant demand for CSE graduates by many top companies.
Both these branches are completely different in terms of the course content and then the future job description as well, so the important thing here is to know what you want and how you want to shape your future.

NIT is a prestigious government institute and its name on your degree adds a lot of weight to it but the major deciding factor here should always be what you want to do in terms of the course in both these fields. So, if you are interested in coding and want to pursue a career in the IT sector go for IT at UIET. Even if you fail to secure a job through placement, you can opt for off-campus placements.
