NIT Jalandhar students secured 75 lakh packages. Is it beginning of the era of emergence of NITs over IITs

It’s good to see institutes other than IIT gaining fame. But the parameter of such assumptions is not good. Why do we Indians judge an institute mere based on the packages they offer. There are so many other false factors that increase or decrease the value of a man institute. So before deciding that NITs have become better than IITs consider the following points:

• Placements and packages alone cannot determine the worth of a college. 

• Including IITs no college in India actually conducts the type of research a country needs.

• There are many instances wherein companies prefer going to an average college for recruitment than a better ranked one. This is because they can than assure the sustainability of talents. 

• The starting salaries don’t help you succeed in the long run.

So we cannot say with certainty that NITs have overpowered IITs just because they were able to land better packages.
