There isn't a universally "better" option between Bangalore and Mangalore for pursuing an Allied Medical course. The choice depends on individual priorities and what aspects of the programme are most important. Bangalore offers a larger selection of institutions, a vibrant environment, potentially more career opportunities, while Mangalore might provide a more focused, smaller-scale learning experience.    

You can get CSE in GFTI as per the JoSSA counselling cutoff last year. You cannot get any branch, like CSE, ECE in NIT at this rank.
