I have a few friends in both institutes and from what I heard from them, NIT Kurukshetra is much better than NIT Hamirpur. Here are some obvious reasons for the same
Based on the above points, you can decide which ones are the best for you!
No, NIT Hamirpur is not a very cold place. Its surrounding area of snow-clad mighty Dhauladhars might give the impression that it's extremely cold here but in reality, there isn't any snowfall. This is because the campus is situated approximately 4km from the main town and is at a higher elevation.
The climate here is very pleasant and the vegetation is also impressive. Even during the hottest days, the temperature does not go beyond 27°C). During winters, the temperature ranges between 16-18°C, and it is mostly sunny outside. However, if you are from the Northern area of India, you might find the winters in even semesters (January) very cold. Winter is followed by spring, one of the best times of the year. Most of the summer days are spent on holidays so that isn't a big problem.
Overall, the winter season at NIT Hamirpur does not ring in extreme weather conditions and the cold climate is usually bearable. You can pack accordingly after considering the weather conditions throughout the year.
Keeping in mind the academic environment and placement statistics, the following should be the preferences:
CSE at NIT Hamirpur, IIIT Jabalpur, NIT Jalandhar, and IIIT Kancheepuram.
ECE at NIT Hamirpur, ECE at NIT Jalandhar, IIIT Kancheepuram, and then IIIT Jabalpur.
Choose a college with a broadband internet connection in the hostels for CSE. In general, the faculty at all of these colleges will be mediocre, and you will be forced to rely on the internet for your education. Once the CSE and hostel broadband requirements have been met, consider which college is closer to home, near a city, and not in a country where you do not speak the native language.
First, I would like you to address your branch preference. Choosing a branch should be the top most priority. CSE and ECE are quite different from one another. Although IITs/IIITs/NITs do offer a branch change option, it is quite difficult to get it. So I would suggest you make up your mind on which branch truly interests you.
Now coming to the colleges. Choose IIIT Jabalpur for a CSE branch. This is because IIITs offer good placements, curriculum and culture in this branch. Even IIIT Kancheepuram is a good option for CSE. But the distance from home and food form an integral part of this decision-making. Assuming you aren’t from South India, the lifestyle and eating habits might be difficult to adapt to. As far as NIT Hamirpur and NIT Jalandhar are concerned, choose them if you are planning for an ECE degree. They are good colleges as well.
First prioritize your branch and then choose your college among these four. I won’t suggest you go by college rankings. Basically, choose your branch first and then decide the best college for yourself.
