What should I choose, IIT Bhubaneswar or NIT Hamirpur ?

IIT Bhubaneswar is one of the new IITs but still has a better ranking than NIT Hamirpur. These rankings are done on the basis of a lot of factors. IIT Bhubaneswar will be the right choice because an IIT has a lot of advantages that NIT does not.

NIT Hamirpur is an old and well-established institute which means it has larger alumni which IIT Bhubaneswar lacks because it was established in 2008. The average salary package offered in 2019 was 11.44 LPA at IIT Bhubaneswar and 6.78 LPA at NIT Hamirpur. NIT Hamirpur claims that the highest package offered in 2019 was of 120 LPA, you can check this at their placements cell website. NIT Hamirpur is a really good institute but it has a few drawbacks as it is located in a hilly region due to which the number of companies which come for placements is less although there is not a very big difference between these institutes.

There is a big difference between an IIT and an NIT. The IIT tag will give a lot of advantages only if you know how to use it like it may help you in getting jobs off-campus or if you want to go for higher studies.
