Birsa Institute of technology is best engineering college of Dhanbad after IIT, Dhanbad. Admission in BIT Sindri is done through JCECE. The Institute is very old and is located in Sindri town which is 20 kilometers away from Dhanbad. The university is affiliated to Vinoba Bhave Univesity, Hazaribag. The institute has very good Placement for all the branches. Computer science engineering department of BIT, Sindri is not as good as the other branches there. Even the metallurgy department is far better than CSE department of BIT, Sindri. That is why cut-off for CSE goes down.
However, placement is good for CSE. Highest salary offered was 12 LPA and average salary is 3-4 lakhs per annum. Companies like Tata consultancy services, IBM India, Cognizant, HP, etc. recruited students from CSE. Fee is very less faculties are good and Infrastructure is just average.

IIT, Kanpur in no way is a better choice than IIT, Kharagpur due to various reasons.
IIT, Kanpur students enjoy lots of freedom and can feel independent as the college administration makes you feel mature enough to take rational judgements whereas norms are strict at IIT, Kharagpur.
IIT, Kanpur has an average placement of 12 LPA and highest reaching up to 23 LPA whereas in IIT, Kharagpur it is 10.5 LPA, highest reaching up to 19 lakh.
Although, the labs and all other equipment related facilities are remarkable in both the institutes but still, Kanpur campus is more vibrant than Kharagpur consisting a pool of talented minds in it.
Now, in terms of sports facilities, both the institutes provide sufficient equipment and sports related accessories but, the court at IIT-Kanpur is better and much modern than IIT, Kharagpur which is reflected in the inter IIT sports meet.

NITs are the premier engineering institutes in India. NIT Calicut is one these NITs and is pretty well known all over India. According to the National Institute ranking framework it stands at 44th rank among all the engineering colleges in India.
For Chemical Engineering out of 70 students who enrolled for placements only 38 were placed. Minimum salary offered was 4.5 LPA while the average salary offered was 7.4 LPA. Maximum package offered was 12.5 LPA. So the placements for chemical were decent at NIT Calicut.

Placements were fine, means at least 90% of the seniors got placed. The lowest salary was 4 lakhs and the maximum was 18 lakhs. Companies like IBM, Microsoft, Infosys and Wipro came. This year, 30 to 40% got internships were from the college itself. The stipend was offered from a minimum of 1,000 to maximum of 5,000. The college offers a placement rate of 99%. TCS, Wipro, CTS etc., but around 10 to 12 people got placed in core companies like IBM, Amazon etc. The packages vary from company to company and most students got around 3.5 to 4.5 LPA. If you manage to get placed in core companies, the packages offered are around 12 to 16 LPA.

It depends upon your interest whether you choose computer science engineering or aeronautical engineering.
Vellore Institute of Technology and Manipal Institute of Technology both of them are the best private engineering colleges of India.
According to me, computer science engineering from Vellore Institute of Technology is much better than aeronautical engineering from Manipal Institute of Technology because of the following reasons
1. Fee structure of Vellore Institute of Technology is about 7.8 Lakh and fee structure of Manipal Institute of Technology and aeronautical engineering is about 12.8 Lakh .
2. Faculty of Vellore Institute of Technology is much better than Faculty of Manipal Institute of Technology.
3. Facilities provided to the students of computer science engineering in Vellore Institute of Technology is much better than facilities provided to the aeronautical engineering students of Manipal Institute of Technology.
4 Placement:
IN VIT:
The average package offered by the companies is about 6.5 Lakh per annum and the highest package is about 24 Lakh per annum.
IN MIT
The average package offered by the companies is about 3 Lakh per annum.
Hope it helps.

When the comparison is between IIITs and IITs, the war is always in favour of IITs whether it be any branch or stream.
The reason being the quality of students, management of IITs, the large-scale organization of events as well as technical and cultural fests from which students learn a lot.
Although, a IIIT may have a better infrastructure due to its late establishment but is overcome by the vibrant lifestyle of IITs.
Now coming to the placement statistics, the average there at IIT Guwahati is around 18 lakh per annum whereas 12 lakh from IIIT Vadodara.
Also, the highest package ever from IIT Guwahati is around 92 lakh in google whereas is 27 lakh from IIITvadodra creating a huge difference between the two.
Now, one may get into IIIT through Mains and through advance in IIT.
Sincerely, there is a lot of hard work needed for getting into CSE for any of the IITs, NITs and IIIT, but the preference should always be given to the IITs than top NITs and then top IIIT. Although some IIITs are working exceptionally well up to the mark of IITs, which are IIIT Hyderabad and IIIT Allahabad.
Thank you. Hope it will help you.
