Which one should I choose, NIT Jalandhar for chemical or NIT Silchar in CS?

Both NIT Jalandhar and NIT Silchar are reputable institutes for their respective fields, Chemical engineering and Computer Science. However, the decision ultimately depends on your interests and career goals.

• If you are interested in studying Chemical engineering, NIT Jalandhar would be a great choice as it has a strong program in this field. It is known to have a well-equipped laboratory, experienced faculty, and a good placement scenario.
• If you are interested in Computer Science, NIT Silchar offers a good program in this field and has a good reputation. NIT Silchar has a strong faculty and good placement records.

In my opinion, it's better to choose NIT Silchar CSE because it's very challenging to upgrade your branch from Chemical to CS later. So unless you are confident of being able to change your branch, choose NIT Silchar without any hesitation. Ultimately, the decision should be based on your interests and career goals.

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.
