NIT Durgapur - National Institute of Technology Answered Questions

I think DTU is better option but if seen according to priority list which is best
NIT Durgapur, DTU, NIT Hamirpur & Jalandhar.
In NIT, Durgapur last year closing rank was 18112 so there is less chances but if take part in JOSSA counselling carefully then there will be a chances in Durgapur otherwise DTU is better option.

IIEST, Shibpur for sure. The placements at IIEST, Shibpur has always been better than that of NIT, Durgapur. And with each passing year, the placements are getting better. The highest package offered in 2016 was Rs. 46 Lacs per annum. Ever since its transformation from BESU to IIEST, it has been attracting the attention of reputed firms and the placements are getting better since then. Check the official website of IIEST, Shibpur for further details about placements.

Probably looking at the record, entrance in IIEST is quite tough at this rank. But, you may get admission in mining department. Last year, closing rank for your category in this department was 28098. Closing ranks for all other departments were less than this. As far as NIT, Durgapur is concerned, you may get admission in metallurgy and materials engineering or bio technology branch.

Let me tell you one thing, only core NIT's have good placement all other are also fine, but not as good compared to VIT University, because VIT University offers good placements in CSE, IT, ECE branch and as compared to NIT Durgapur. Chemical branch is not up to the marks, because in the end branch does matter, so it is better to take VIT.
