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.
Institutes | NIT, Goa | NIT, Puducherry |
Placement Percentage | More Than 90% | 80% (in an Approximate) |
Highest Salary Package | INR 20 LPA | INR 15.25 LPA |
Average Salary Package | INR 7.35 LPA | INR 4.9 LPA |
Top Recruiting Companies | Goldman Sachs, Samsung, Siemens, TCS, Infosys, Mphasis | Samsung, IBM, Infotech, Tech Mahindra, Larsen & Toubro |
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.
Category | NIT Goa | MNNIT Allahabad |
Average CTC | INR 7.35 LPA | INR 10.28 LPA |
Highest CTC | INR 20 LPA | INR 49 LPA |
Top recruiters | TCS, R&D, Samsung | Google, Infosys, Biyus |
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.
B.Tech branches | General | |
Home State | Outside State | |
Civil Engineering | 87610 | 31362-35494 |
Computer Science and Engineering | 14581 | 7420-10323 |
Electrical & Electronics Engineering | 73349 | 19728-21121 |
Electronics and Communication Engineering | 34058 - 53405 | 14553 - 16711 |
Mechanical Engineering | 82553 - 83783 | 23542 - 26295 |
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.
According to the recent placement statistics following data can be tabulated:
Categories | CSE at NIT Jalandhar |
The number of companies who participated | 28 |
Number of placement offers made | 211 |
Top recruiters | Microsoft, Wipro, IBM, HP, etc. |
Highest package offered | 43.5 LPA |
Average Package Offered | 12-15 LPA |
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.
I will always suggest you give preference to the branch over the college. NIT Jalandhar and NIT Raipur are better colleges for CSE than NIT Patna and NIT Silchar. Another good option is ECE at NIT Allahabad or NIT Calicut as most of the companies let ECE students sit for software engineering roles during placements.
I am strongly against you joining mechanical engineering if you are already getting CSE/IT/ECE at NITs. Ultimately, it’s your preferences that will help choose the best college!
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.
Categories | ECE at NIT Goa | CSE at Jamia Millia Islamia |
Course Fee | 5.38 lakh | 64,600 |
Highest CTC | 13 LPA | 20 LPA |
Average CTC | 6.5 LPA | 8-10 LPA |
Recruiting Companies | L&T, Microsoft, Siemens, Infosys, etc. | TCS, Wipro, Adobe, Cognizant, etc. |
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.
B.Tech branches | General | |
Home State | Outside State | |
Civil Engineering | 87610 | 31362-35494 |
Computer Science and Engineering | 14581 | 7420-10323 |
Electrical & Electronics Engineering | 73349 | 19728-21121 |
Electronics and Communication Engineering | 34058 - 53405 | 14553 - 16711 |
Mechanical Engineering | 82553 - 83783 | 23542 - 26295 |
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.
Categories | CSE at Jaypee Noida | CSE at NIT Goa |
Course Fee | 9.22 lakh | 5.38 akh |
Highest CTC | 20 LPA | 14 LPA |
Average CTC | 10 LPA | 7 PA |
Recruiting Companies | Adobe, Accenture, Cognizant, KPMG, etc. | Capgemini, Oracle, Wipro, IBM, etc. |
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.
