NIT Goa can be more preferable to NIT Puducherry. One of the major reasons is because NIT Goa comes with better exposure since it has a leading locational advantage. Several top-tier companies are in close proximity to the institute.

Here is a brief placement record of both institutes.

It’s better to choose NIT Goa since you will have better placement opportunities at the institute. 

IT from MNNIT Allahabad is the better choice. The following are the support points.

• MNNIT ranks among the top NITs in India. In the 2020 ranking, NIRF ranked MNNIT Allahabad at 48. 
• MNNIT Allahabad has a better placement record than NIT Goa. 

• The hostel life of the college is amazing. However, the food quality can be a big problem for you.
• The coding culture, club activities, and competitions in MNNIT make it a better choice.

Overall, MNNIT will offer better opportunities as compared to NIT Goa. 

I have a few friends from the institute and according to them with a rank of 11900 in JEE Mains it will be difficult to get into CSE at NIT Goa. You should look for other colleges in order to get into your preferred branch. Here is the cutoff of NIT Goa for 2021.

Look for the previous year's cutoff on the previous JEE main website, which will give a pretty rough idea about what branch and college you can get into. However, I will not recommend NIT Goa for CSE. Since it is a new college and no big or well-known companies come there for placements. Infrastructure and resources are not as par according to NIT standards. You can also try some private universities such as BITS, Thapar, VIT, or MIT.

As one of my friends studied at NIT Jalandhar, I can tell you his experiences with the college. According to him, NIT Jalandhar is far better than NIT Goa or UPTU College, especially the CSE branch. 

• The college is well established and has been earning a name for many years when compared to NIT Goa or UPTU College. 
• There is proper equipment available for the students of the CSE branch along with the other facilities. 
• Also, NIT Jalandhar has created a proper environment for all the students that can lead to their constant growth.
• NIT Jalandhar offers decent placement offers to students in various prestigious companies. 

According to the recent placement statistics following data can be tabulated:

Last but not least we can say that NIT Jalandhar along with its appealing infrastructure provides very attractive opportunities to all the students for their holistic development. So when compared to NIT Goa or UPTU College, always choose NIT Jalandhar.

NIT Goa is still operating from its temporary campus located at Farmagudi, Goa which is approximately 29 km from the state capital at Panaji. It is functioning temporarily from the campus of Goa Engineering College (GEC). 

Due to its limited facilities, it currently offers accommodation to only outstation students. However, only 2 options are available - a shared accommodation on campus or in a rented building close to the campus.

For students who are natives of Goa, the institute does not provide any accommodation facilities. You can either travel to and fro the campus or take up privately rented apartment rooms and PGs in the college vicinity. 

I have a friend who recently graduated from NIT Goa. According to him, for the home state, you should score around 160. Although it may vary since the mark required is increasing every year. 

According to the 2021 cutoff trends, the required cutoff (HS) for CSE is 14581. For more information on the cutoff, you can go through the JOSAA website. 

I have cousins from both NIT Goa, and Jamia Millia Islamia and as they mention, the latter is famous for its CSE course. Usually, students do not leave the opportunity to go for the CSE course of Jamia Millia Islamia.

• CSE is comparably better than most of the other branches in the educational domain. 
• CSE provides you job opportunities in accordance to what you have been exposed to, academically. 
• On the other hand, ECE is undeniably a good choice of stream. 
• For securing a good job position, you will have to pursue majoring in one of many programming languages or web development projects. 
• This translates to studying for your course and also pursuing something extra for exposure. 
• While CSE students are already part of studying these domains in general. 
• ECE students usually also go for the GATE exam. 
• However, the only upside ECE students enjoy is finding the slightest amount of vacancies in PSU, while CS students are somewhat one step lower than it. 

Apart from these few, it depends upon how hard you work. Be it ECE or CSE, you have to work hard and utilize the time and opportunities you get while studying in college.

You should focus on your JEE Main preparation. Don’t worry about the required cutoff. Try to score 99 percentile, that way you can choose any branch that you like. If you are a student from Goa origin then 98 percentile is enough to get top branches. 

Here is the 2021 cutoff for various branches. 

This should give you some ideas about the required cutoff for NIT Goa. 

It depends upon what you think you will pursue as a career. Generally, there are transparent ways into monitoring whether or not an institute is really worthy, at least when considering the CSE department. 

• If you are more inclined towards pursuing a career as a computer programmer, then here are some websites you should definitely check out: CodeChef, HackerRank and CodeForces.
• These competitions apparently gauge the programming skills a person generally comes with, and whether or not they will be successful in relevant aspects. 
• These websites come with a neat leaderboard, including the ranks of coders assessed accordingly in terms of their programming skills. 
• The major upside of these sites is that the leaderboard arrives with the name of the institute these coders belong from. 
• This naturally helps to evaluate how reasonable an institute is. 
• You can moreover filter the leaderboards in accordance to the institute you prefer. 

Therefore, these features go on to provide more compact comparisons among institutes and can possibly help you decide which institute is worthy. However, it is best to also research more about the prospects each institute shares; and how they are in terms of placement, faculty, etc.
