Which is the better option in CSE at NIT (Goa, Jamshedpur, Srinagar, Surat, Patna, Durgapur, or Hamirpur)?

It is suggested that among these you should get enrolled in the institution which is nearest to your hometown. And if they offer good facilities for CSE courses you can then depend on it.

As per the NIRF Rankings your preference for choosing an institution among these should be as follows:

1. National Institute of Technology Durgapur
2. Sardar Vallabhbhai National Institute of Technology, Surat
3. National Institute of Technology Goa
4. National Institute of Technology Jamshedpur
5. National Institute of Technology Hamirpur
6. National Institute of Technology Srinagar

Considering that you choose from among the top two of the above-mentioned list. My brother went for SVNIT Surat in the year 2018 based on certain other factors involved.

You can refer to the tables mentioned below for the placement statistics of both these institutions for the year 2020.

For the other institutions mentioned, you can check out the official website or some online portal to get an idea about the status of placement at these institutions. Lastly, make your choice after thorough research and then only select an institution.
