I have a choice of joining JNTUH or CBIT this year. I can also repeat to go for the NIT or BITS the next year. What should I do now?

A close friend of mine is currently pursuing an integrated program at JNTU and is not at all pleased with its standard of education. He stated a few points that clarified his stance further

• Majority of the subjects are taught by lecturers and not the actual professors. They have no interest in teaching and teach only a handful of subjects and leave the rest to untrained and underqualified lecturers.
• Introduction of new courses like IDP, IDDMP, IIDDMP is greatly affecting the quality of education. The high batch size affects the student-teacher ratio and the limited resources cannot be availed by everyone.
• JNTU  5-year course placements are very poor. CBIT has better companies than JNTU that offer better packages and opportunities.
• JNTU has a better location than CBIT which is in a remote location and has limited outside life. 
• JNTU has no transport facilities so this might be a major obstacle throughout your program.

In all, I would suggest you go for CBIT as it seems to be in a better position than JNTU both in terms of placements as well as quality of education.
