It is difficult to say which is better between IIT Mandi and top NITs, as it depends on individual preferences and priorities. Both IIT Mandi and top NITs have their own strengths and weaknesses, and it would be best to research and compare them based on factors such as location, campus facilities, faculty, research opportunities, and placement records.
However, I feel the quality of college life offered is a very crucial factor. That being said, IIT Mandi offers a better campus experience than NITs.
Ultimately, the decision should be based on your own personal preferences and goals.
Every year, there is a change in the marking scheme and exam pattern of JEE Advanced so it’s difficult to tell you if you can get admission to IIT Mandi or Guwahati with a score of 250. The best way is to refer to the JEE Advanced cutoff. The IIT that will accept you depends on your JEE rank. You cannot predict the rank before the main JEE examination.
