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.
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.
Have known some people who have pursued M.Tech in CSE from NIT Kurukshetra, NIT Bhopal, and IIIT Allahabad. I can say that you can opt for IIIT Allahabad for CSE. Do not choose NIT Kurukshetra.

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.
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.
As fresh pass outs from NIT Kurukshetra, here are some of the things I and my friends miss about our college-
NIT Kurukshetra is a place where you’ll not just study, but also live the most memorable days of your life.
There is an endless list of notable alumni from NIT Kurukshetra. I’ve mentioned below some of them-
Former CEO of Cognizant Technology Solutions and Satyam Enterprise Solutions.
These are just some of the great people who have received their degrees from 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
So the best option for CS is certainly IIIT Delhi.
The previous year's NIT Kurukshetra papers are not available on the Internet. You have to visit the college library personally and use the college network.
Here are some simple steps to follow for registration
Hope I made it clear!
Civil Engineering at NIT Kurukshetra is a core branch that deals with the design and construction sector. It’s very important to focus on one specific field at an engineering college or you will go astray by the end of 4 years. This branch is very focused and helps you invest all your efforts in one field

It’s important to note that the above stats are for the UG course only.
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.
