How is the MCA program at NIT Kurukshetra? Is it at least comparable to that of NIT Allahabad or Trichy?

The MCA program offered by NIT Kurukshetra is highly regarded and can be compared to that of NIT Trichy easily. It offers the resources, academic environment, and facilities necessary for a good learning experience. However, at some point, you have to resort to self-studying because the teachers cannot spoon-feed you all the time. 

You will have to make yourself eligible for the placements by working hard to add value to your CV. More than the reputation of the institute it's your efforts that matter. You can join various tech clubs to get better exposure and learn coding.

Here is a brief overview of the MCA program offered at NIT Kurukshetra

In my opinion, any college that has decent placements will offer great opportunities if you are determined and work hard to achieve your goals.
