IIT Roorkee, NIT Trichy, and NIT Warangal are well-established institutes in India. The scope of metallurgy is comparatively lower than that of CSE. IIT Roorkee mainly concentrates on textual learning and does not give the students exposure to practical learning. They are using the practice of mugging up the lessons without having a clear understanding of the topic. The placement is very poor here; the students from the metallurgy department usually end up in data analytics and coding.
So CSE at NIT Warangal and Trichy would be a better choice.
IIIT Hyderabad is one of the highly reputed engineering colleges almost at or with NITs and IITs. It is a unique IIIT as the first I in IIIT Hyderabad stands for International and not national. There is intense competition here to grab CSE seats as the program is highly regarded among prospective CS engineers.
If you want an excellent career in CS, IIIT Hyderabad may be the right place for you!
Among the above two institutes, NIT Warangal is the definite choice, considering the factors of alumni record, placements, etc. The table below gives a brief level of comparison among the institutes.

Some of the key highlights of NIT Warangal are discussed below.
In between NIT Warangal, NIT Trichy, and NIT Surathkal, you should choose the institute in which you are getting your favorite branch. But, all of these NITs are far ahead of NIT Calicut. So, choose wisely.
If you are considering pursuing engineering and wondering which branch to choose, there are some important things you should keep in mind while making a decision. Here are some key points to consider:
If you are still interested in pursuing Civil engineering despite the challenges, then you may want to consider NIT Warangal. According to the author of the original statement, this institution is better than NIT Surathkal. However, keep in mind that this is a subjective opinion and you should do your own research before making a decision.
My sister is a former NIT Warangal student. At the time of her admission, we ate at the mess at the college. Here comes the real thing about the messes. There are two kinds of mess facilities at NIT Warangal: Government mess and Private mess.
There are 3 private messes at NIT Warangal naming: IFC-A, IFC-B, IFC-C.
Overall the mess in NIT Warangal is far better compared to other NIT's.
NIT Trichy, NIT Warangal, and BITS Pilani are all good colleges for CSE. Here is a comparison among them based on various parameters-
At BITS Pilani, Tech students were offered a package between INR 11 - 38 LPA. At NIT Trichy, the highest package overall stood at INR 40 LPA for the year 2022. From these figures, one can declare that at present NIT Warangal has the best placements for CSE among the three (as per the official figures).
Overall, all three colleges are quite good for your CSE. In the end, it is you who has to put in the required effort.
First and foremost, importance should be given to the institute. If you are ready to work hard, then opt for NIT Warangal. Here are some points you should keep in mind before making a final decision.
NIT Surathkal and NIT Warangal are leading institutes in India. Both of them have a good placement record in the Department of Chemical Engineering.
NIT Warangal has a branch change policy that helps you change your branch after the first semester (with a good CGPA). Most students prefer the CSE branch because they get ample opportunities in a particular field.
The final decision is yours. I hope you will make a wise decision
One of my friends had similar options and she ended up choosing NIT Warangal ECE over NIT Jamshedpur CSE. She claimed that choosing the right college is as important as choosing the right branch. The official rankings put NIT Warangal much higher than NIT Jamshedpur. The overall NIRF ranking of NIT Warangal is 53 out of 200 colleges in 2023 while that of NIT Jamshedpur is 101 out of 200 colleges in 2023 which is almost double.
My friend was from Jharkhand and could have easily got NIT Jamshedpur with Home State Quota but he decided to study hard for NIT Warangal. You should give preference to the branch when the colleges in question are somewhat at a similar level. Where the difference is as high as between these two, the college with higher rankings should be given preference.
So make your choice wisely!
