Which is better NSIT IT or NIT Kurukshetra CS?
A lot of factors need to be considered while choosing one between NSIT IT and NIT Kurukshetra CS. If you are someone who wants a happening and vibrant campus life, and also an active social life at clubs, malls, water parks, and all that, you need to go for NSIT Delhi because the capital has a lot of such places. It will be difficult to have a fun-filled life at NIT Kurukshetra. However, the outside life does not matter much because you will hardly have any free time to hang out. So it’s not the only criteria you should consider.
The placement scenario of both the institutes is somewhat similar and almost every company that visits NSIT visits NITK as well.A few times NSIT students did receive exceptionally good packages but that happens rarely. Overall, there isn’t much difference in terms of packages and job opportunities.

The academic environment at both the institutes is great and both have excellent and some diametrically opposite professors. NIT Kurukshetra has a better coding culture. This is because there is no outside life so the majority of students spend time in hostels resulting in intense competition among them.
Should I go for IIIT Allahabad even if I have rank enough to get CS in NIT-K, NIT-W, and NIT-T?
The most practical thing to do here would be to begin with taking a look at the syllabus of both these mentioned programs. You need to be absolutely clear about whether you wish to study for the next 4 years of your life and maybe also be able to develop a career in the same field. Interest and passion are mandatory to be able to sustain in any field of engineering for a very long period of time.
Now as far as my personal opinion goes, since two of my brothers have completed their engineering from IIIT Allahabad, I strongly believe that IIITA is a notch better than the others. Although the syllabus of CSE and IT is more or less the same, the overall academic environment of IIITA is better suited for coding when compared to the other NITs. There are a number of competitive programming websites available online where you will find more students of IIIT A placed at higher ranks than NITs.
There is a process of development, evolvement and growth as a programmer in IIITA for the students. It is known to all that India’s best coder Suryanarayana is also from IIIT A. Another reason why IIITA is a popular option for many aspiring coders is because unlike other colleges, it offers core subjects from the first years itself.
The placement scenario is also far accomplished of IIIT Allahabad.

IIIT Allahabad is a good choice for M.Tech in CSE. You can also go for NIT Bhopal which has a good placement record. But lacks a good teaching-learning process. So, It is suggested you go for IIIT Allahabad, as it will be the best option for you.
IIIT Sonepat: Which one should I choose, NIT Kurukshetra or NIT Bhopal or IIIT Allahabad for an M.Tech in CSE?
I will never recommend you to choose NIT Kurukshetra because the administration is very disappointing and the entire system is in dilapidated condition. The CSE branch specifically is losing its charm. The official records claim some very good professors but the reality is most of them aren’t interested in teaching.
The result is declared after 4 months and the students were given backs by a margin of 1/4 of a mark. The duration of exams is long, giving no time for holidays. The Institute does not encourage any kind of educational tours or summer training. Research work is not promoted in any form. The only reason NIT Kurukshetra is still here is because of the hard work of students who get good packages.
What is the one thing all of the passouts miss about NIT Kurukshetra?
As fresh pass outs from NIT Kurukshetra, here are some of the things I and my friends miss about our college-
- Visiting the seniors’ hostels, interacting with them, and forming close bonds.
- The joy of tricking security guards.
- Visiting the college market, chatting with friends and enjoying our snacks.
- The joy of bunking classes occasionally. Such pleasures can’t be achieved as a working professional.
- We visited the Hot Sizzler Resort whenever we lacked a plan.
- P.J. Philip sir’s classes were the best.
- We spent our lab hours downloading movies and shopping online.
- We cheered for our home teams.
- The inductions are something we really miss.
- The NIT corridor and Maal road are imprinted on our minds.
- The mess food was made bearable through friends and their constant chatter.
- The excitement and happiness of getting placed. We even cheered for others as they got placed, even if that person was an enemy.
- The days and nights in the hostel were filled with friendships and warmth. That kind of joy is really difficult to find once you leave college.
NIT Kurukshetra is a place where you’ll not just study, but also live the most memorable days of your life.

Which is better for CS: IIIT Delhi or NIT Kurukshetra?
Although both IIITs and NITs have a similar brand image, I advise you to keep IIIT Delhi as your first preference. Here are two solid reasons why
- Better campus placements: Generally, Government colleges like IITs and NITs do not approach companies for placements like private colleges. So their placements are usually a result of their brand value and location. That being said, IIIT Delhi has an excellent location and therefore attracts many more companies than NIT Kurukshetra.
- A good environment: The CS-tailored dynamic environment at IIIT Delhi helps improve your aptitude considerably. The crowd at both the colleges might be similar but IIIT Delhi definitely provides a much better exposure outside college.
So the best option for CS is certainly IIIT Delhi.

How is the hostel life at NIT Kurukshetra?
My brother was a student at NIT Kurukshetra and was allotted a room in H-3 Chakrdhar Bhawan on the campus. He had two other roommates from Rajasthan. Initially, he felt awkward sharing his living space with someone else but after a few days, he adapted well to it. They became great friends, who would discuss papers and help each other in preparing for tests. He realized that the rooms and food don’t make hostel life but your friends do.
He befriended some really good people who became his supporters in the first year. They would help her in all times of need and hang out in their free time.
He had the best hostel life experience thanks to his amazing friends and the room and the hostel have a special place in his heart. He heard from his friends at other colleges like NIT Patna, VIT Vellore, BITS Goa, etc. that their hostel life was rather restrictive.
He was glad he chose BIT Kurukshetra which gave him some amazing memories and friends for life.
