Well, this all depends upon your choice of preference. 

• If you are going after a brand name then you can choose IIIT Guwahati. Also, it is worth joining IIIT’s of all new ones for their coding culture is on a boom. 
• If you are planning to prepare for MBA, Civil Services, MS abroad then choosing IIIT G is a better choice.
• If you find the IIIT tag more appealing go for it. Yes, infrastructure wise Thapar University gives a quiet edge to many IIITs and NITs. 
• See, you’re comparing different branches, from which I can directly conclude that you’re interested in CSE more. So, keep this factor in mind too while deciding.
• If you are getting IIIT it means you do hold a good rank. That means you are okay with getting into IIITG even with high fees. If you have got a board percentage of 95+ you can get a 100% TF+DF waiver right from 1st semester.
• One of the important factors for choosing an institute is fees, if you are okay with higher course fees, you can definitely opt for Thapar. Infrastructure at Thapar is way better as compared to IIITs and NITs. 

This was an overall review on IIITG and Thapar University. Factor all these in and make a wise decision.

I have friends at both IIIT Guwahati and LNMIIT and based on what I heard from them, I will recommend that you choose LNMIIT. Here are the reasons why.

• The campus life over there at LNMIIT was far better than any other college. In case you are someone from the North, you'll have difficulties adjusting to Guwahati. There isn't anything to find here be it a good social life, or cafes to chill at.
• In terms of placements, LNMIIT has so much to offer. 
• In recent years it has made tremendous strides, some even claim that it has become better than Thapar University.

Being said that you can go to IIIT Guwahati if the course fee is a matter of concern for you. It is better than taking student loans for LNMIIT. IIIT Guwahati is also a viable option. 

IIIT Guwahati is way better than IIIT Kalyani. Many of the students who were formerly enrolled in IIIT Kalyani. They left the college after analyzing the faculty, infrastructure, and hostel facilities.

My brother was in NIT Silchar before being a part of IIIT Guwahati. He went there and found out that many students were from IIIT Kalyani. Everyone has different reasons for leaving Kalyani. However, none of them were praising IIIT Kalyani.

On the other hand, they were pleased to join IIIT Guwahati. Some factors that make IIITG a better institute than IIIT Kalyani:

1. Faculty to student ratio is very good
2. Great infrastructure
3. Good hostel and sports facilities
4. Better academic syllabus as they follow their mentor institute IITG and IIITH
5. Location of the institute

Hence, you can definitely go for IIITG as an institute rather than joining IIIT Kalyani. As far as the branches are concerned, CSE and ECE are totally different. But, at the end of the day, you have to decide which college you want to join. If you give more preference to the branch, you should join IIIT Kalyani but if you feel like you can slide or change your branch after the first year, you can join IIITG.

IIIT Guwahati has two canteens, one in the hostel building and one in the academic building. 

• The canteen at IIIT Guwahati is average. It is just like the ones that are common among all the government colleges. It is not much developed and high standard, however, it serves its purpose. 
• The canteens at both the girls’ and boys’ hostel are allowed to operate till late at night. The canteen in the academic building is operated from 10 am to 11 pm.
• There is also a food van available that delivers food directly to the hostel.
• The mess service at IIIT Guwahati is just fine. It serves three-time meals; breakfast, lunch, and dinner. 
• There is also a tea facility for an extra charge. It is not included in the mess charge and has to be paid separately. 
• The breakfast and lunch served are usually vegetarian. At the dinner, the students are given an option to choose between a vegetarian special item and a non-vegetarian special item. 
• The taste is good and the food is of satisfactory level. The non-vegetarian food served is really good.

Both the mess and canteen are not high profile but are satisfactory. Now, tenders are offered, thus making a competition between caterers which is a positive sign for improvement and better service.

If coding is your area of interest and you are getting a chance to join ECE at NIT Durgapur then grab it.

• The ECE department has produced many GSoCers and also fantastic competitive coders.
• The department does not pressurize the students much and you can peacefully do your work.

If you are devoted to coding, NITD ECE will offer you many opportunities.

Many students claim that CSE/ECE at IIIT Guwahati is better than CSE/ECE at M.S. Ramaiah Institute of Technology, Bangalore. Here are some of the supporting facts.

• IIIT Guwahati is getting better at all the parameters every year.
• One of the biggest advantages of choosing IIIT Guwahati over M.S. Ramaiah Institute of Technology, Bangalore is that it has a permanent director Mr. Gautam Baura who has served 33 years in IIT Kanpur and IIT Guwahati.
• The campus of IIIT Guwahati has settled in its permanent campus which is only 4km from the airport. It only takes about 11 min to reach, thus making it easy for the companies to visit during placements.
• The institute has a Public-Private Partnership. Thus, some of the reputed companies such as TCS have invested in the foundation of the institute. Thus, these companies visit every year to participate in the placement drives.

IIIT Guwahati also has a better brand value than M.S. Ramaiah Institute of Technology, Bangalore. Thus, the brand matters if you want to study or get a job abroad afterward.

If you want to enjoy city life and learn to code, you should choose M.S. Ramaiah Institute of Technology, Bangalore. It is easy to get coaching and part-time internship opportunities in Bangalore.
