When comparing NITT with the BITS Pilani campus, there are several parameters that you can consider to make an informed decision. Here are a few key points to keep in mind:

Quality of peers:

At NITT, the general candidates who are admitted tend to be slightly academically superior to those at BITS Pilani. However, due to reservations about NITs, the overall peer group is dampened to some extent. Nonetheless, you will still be sitting with some of the best minds in the country at both institutions.

Placements:

The placement opportunities are more or less the same for both colleges. However, BITS Pilani has a slight edge due to its Dual Degree program. Around 40% of the students enrolled in this program get their B.E. in CSE, which leads to better placements in that field.

Academics:

BITS Pilani is known for its unique and innovative academic policies. However, this has both pros and cons. You can use the 0% attendance policy to master a skill or build your own startup, or you can waste it on partying and playing games. Professors at both institutions will be equally qualified, but BITS Pilani lets you choose your own professor. Keep in mind, however, that "the more flexible it is, the less stable it gets." You need to choose what will inspire you.

Fees:

BITS Pilani has very high fees that increase every year, while NITT has a moderately low fee structure. Both colleges offer different kinds of scholarships, but expenses will likely be higher at BITS.

Alumni Network and Reputation:

Both institutions have large alumni networks and are among India's top engineering colleges. To learn more, you can search for information online.

Fests:

Both colleges have awesome fests. BITS Pilani has Apogee and Oasis, while NITT has Pragyan and Festember, a fest to remember.

If you have a specific interest and are willing to bear the higher expenses of BITS, then it may be the right choice for you. Otherwise, NITT is a great option. If you don't have a specific interest and want to explore more, join BITS if you are getting circuital branches in both and join NITT if you're getting non-circuital branches in both.

Out of BITS Pilani and NIT Trichy, BITS Pilani should be your preference as it is better because of the following reasons mentioned below.

The rank of BITS Pilani is higher than NIT Trichy.
The location of Pilani is better than Trichy and also BITS has a different brand value.
BITS have a comparatively better infrastructure.
As there is no state quota, the exposure and opportunities of BITS Pilani are better than NIT Trichy.
The course structure of both colleges is almost the same. The difference occurs in the name of one of the branches, where NIT Trichy has a branch names ECE that is Electronics and Communication Engineering whereas, in BITS Pilani, it's I&E, Instrumentation, and Electronics which is a study of instruments including transducers, sensors, etc.

BITS Pilani has more fees and is better than NIT Trichy. Plus, NIT Trichy is a government college with a little lesser brand name than BITS being a private college. But then, if you are someone who isn't branch-specific, the branches which are of lower preference in BITS Pilani are not better than the higher ones in NIT Trichy. In that case, one can go for NIT Trichy. Also, NIT Trichy offers many courses.
