Is DTU better than NIT Jalandhar, Jamshedpur, Raipur and Silchar?
There is nothing such as a better college. It all depends on where you want to see yourself 10 years from now. But considering the current scenario, DTU is ahead of NIT Jalandhar.
-
Being located in the capital, the environment and culture at DTU are better. You will also get to avail better facilities here.
-
You can prepare for TOFEL, CAT, UPSC for which the college institutes in Delhi are best.
Apart from this, the placement scenarios are equally good at both colleges. The only thing better at NIT Jalandhar is its tag.

What should I choose between IIT BHU pharmaceutical and NIT Jalandhar CSE?
In my opinion, if you are interested in CSE, you should go for IIT BHU Pharmaceutical. Some points to prove my opinion right are:
-
IIT BHU offers better packages than NIT Jalandhar.
-
IIT tag is very valuable
-
Study environment, facilities and academic culture at IIT BHU is much better than NIT Jalandhar.
Initially Pharmaceutical may seem challenging. But with time you will adjust.
How good or bad is NIT Jalandhar in terms of study, culture, research and placements?
I am here to tell you how good or bad NIT Jalandhar is based on the parameters you mentioned.
Study: At NIT Jalandhar, the study does not really depend on professors. You will have to retort to self-study. The professors are either too busy or just read out bookish knowledge. So in this term NIT Jalandhar is average.
Culture: The culture at NIT Jalandhar is excellent. Ragging is banned and seniors are very supportive. Hostel facilities are also pretty good. Besides this, the college hosts 2 events every year. There is TechNiTi which is a technical fest and Utkansh which is a cultural fest.
Research: The research scenarios at NIT Jalandhar are very lacking. The professors don’t pay emphasis on research at all. They just focus on teaching the topics that will be covered in the theoretical exam. However recently some professors have started helping B.Tech. students write research papers.
Placements: Generally NIT Jalandhar offers good placement opportunities. The CSE, ECE, ICE, MECH branches get 100% placement rates. But the same has decreased for Textile, BioTech, civil, chemical and are decreasing since 2015.

Will software companies allow me to sit in placements? I am a 1st year mechanical student at NIT Jalandhar.
Most of the top colleges like IITs and NITs allow all branches to sit for placements. But it’s a fact that Mechanical Engineering has stooped to a new low since 2020. The placements have become miserable now. Some tips you can follow to sit for placements are:
-
Maintain a good CGPA ( 8.5+)
-
Become proficient in coding
-
Maintain a good rank in websites like CodeChef, Hackerrank, Hackerearth, etc
-
A good resume is always the top priority for any candidate
But it mainly depends on the placement cell whether they want to allow you for a CS job or not. In most cases they do but if not you can always go for off-campus placement with your NIT tag.
Is the branch change option after the 1st year available at NIT Jalandhar?
- Whether all of the seats in the branch you want to choose are filled or there are some seats available.
- If you discover that seats for the branch you want are unavailable, you must ensure that you have a higher CGPA depending on the branch you want to attend. Because many students want to change branches, there is a real battle going on, which is being decided by CGPA.
- Another consideration is the category, such as the need to reserve some seats in a branch for a specific category.
Which one should I choose, NIT Jalandhar for chemical or NIT Silchar in CS?
Your choice should depend on your own interests and preferences. Make the choice based on your own preferences. Consider factors like closeness to your home, Coaching/guidance for GRE and alumni network.
In my opinion, CSE in NIT Silchar is a better choice.
Pros-
-
The branch and the course itself are very popular and demanding. Will give you amazing results in the future.
-
Campus placements are the best part of NIT Silchar.
-
The infrastructure and facilities are top-notch
-
The crowd here is qualitatively better hence the competition is also better
-
Amazing extracurricular facilities
-
Silchar is well connected to major cities in India through rail and Air networks.
-
The best feature of this college is its Start-up Centre which encourages entrepreneurship culture.
Cons-
-
A little less developed than metropolitan cities
-
You will lack the benefits of a popular title like IIT
NIT Silchar will help you realize your goals and be your constant support. Hence, rather than gaining mere tag benefits, you should focus on your career.
Can we do biotechnology at NIT Jalandhar?
No, personally I wouldn’t suggest pursuing biotechnology at NIT Jalandhar. But still, if you have decided on that consider the following points:
-
Learn to code also. This is because the number of placements for biotechnology is very few. So you can get into an IT Company.
-
If you are seriously interested in biotechnology then the best option is to sit for the GRE or TOEFL and do masters in a foreign university.
-
The last option is to prepare for an MBA.
So to pursue biotechnology in the long run you must aim at moving abroad. The scope is high in foreign universities.
What should I choose mechanical engineering at top 3 nits or CSE at NIT Jalandhar?
Students these days focus more on placements than general potential development. They rank branches on the basis of the placement opportunities they render. But this viewpoint is totally unfair.
Recent years have seen a drastic change in interest from Mechanical Engineering to CSE. People prefer sitting in front of the computer for the rest of their lives just to earn better than Mechanical Engineers.
My advice in this regard is that you should go for Mechanical Engineering at the top 3 NITs over CSE at NIT Jalandhar. Else choose CSE only if you are crazy about coding.
