The best way to choose the right college for you is to give preference to the branch and not just the tag. As a NIT pass out my friend claims that the opportunities NIT provides, and the freedom it gives you to grow is unmatched. The institute does give you a high level of freedom that might break or make your career. It’s you who decides the choices you make.

The best part about NIT Durgapur is its active club culture, which ensures a good bond between like-minded people. Also, being a government college, NIT charges very low fees in comparison to MIT, a private college.

Placements in general are great here both for core and non-core branches. Here is the branch-wise report that will help you decide better

Branch	Average CTC	Placement%
Biotechnology	INR 9.02 LPA	64.91%
Civil	INR 7.39 LPA	78.69%
Chemical	INR 8.87 LPA	83.33%
CSE	INR 21.45 LPA	83.80%
ECE	INR 17.49 LPA	88.37%
Electrical	INR 14.61 LPA	87.50%
Mechanical	INR 9.72 LPA	82.21%
MME	INR 8.79 LPA	90.32%

Hope this helps you!

If you are interested in Electronics, then choose MIT Manipal. However, NIT Durgapur ranks among the top five NITs and top engineering colleges of India. It is one of the few engineering colleges having nearly 100% placements. The peer group at NIT Durgapur is also better than MIT Manipal as the selection is through JEE Mains.
