Which is a better college for engineering, IIIT Jabalpur or NIT Silchar, and Why?

Since you did not mention your branch, I will draw a general comparison between IIIT Jabalpur and NIT Silchar that will help you choose one

• IIIT Jabalpur offers UG courses under three branches only namely CSE, ECE, and Mechanical while NIT Silchar offers a number of courses in a variety of branches both at UG and PG level.
• NIT Silchar is an old institute while IIIT Jabalpur is relatively new.
• IIIT Jabalpur focuses solely on IT courses while NIT Silchar has many diverse courses. 
• NIT Silchar has no international collaborations while IIIT Jabalpur has collaborations with Universities of Japan that offer immense exposure and opportunities.
• The placement scenario however is the same and in fact last year the highest package at both institutes hovered around INR 44 LPA.
• Location-wise, Jabalpur gives an edge to NIT Silchar as it has better connectivity and places to explore.

Overall, choosing IIIT Jabalpur with its modern curriculum and infrastructure is more beneficial than going for NIT Silchar.
