NIT Silchar is a far better option than both NIT Agartala and NIT Mizoram. There are a number of strong reasons that support my claim I have listed the most important ones
So, it’s advisable to give preference to NIT Silchar over NIT Agartala and NIT Mizoram due to the above reasons.
NIT Mizoram is one of the new NITs that was established in 2010. The MHRD recognizes NITs as institutes of national importance. You may already be aware of the NIT brand, which will help you in your future career. Being a student here myself, I can say that NIT Mizoram over other private institutes will undoubtedly be a better choice.
Despite the fact that NIT Mizoram is often looked down upon due to its remote location, this place has its own flavor. So, in all NIT Mizoram is one of the best institutes we have in India.
NIT Meghalaya ranks 61st for BTech by NIRF 2020. 104 students were placed in the 2018-2019 placement program conducted by the institute. It is accredited by AICTE.

NIT Meghalaya has considerably better records in placements, salary packages, participation of top companies, etc. It would be a better choice among these. But it completely depends on the student’s choice to choose which college to study in.
When considering admission to a college, it's important to think about various factors, such as location, faculty, exposure, and opportunities for career growth. Let's take a closer look at NIT Mizoram and whether it's a good choice for you.
However, it's also important to keep in mind that your chances of getting a good job or succeeding in your career don't just depend on the college you attend. It's up to you to put in the effort and take advantage of the resources available to make the most of your college experience.
Private colleges in bigger cities may offer more opportunities for internships, networking, and exposure to various industries, which could increase your chances of finding a good job after graduation. However, it's important to consider the cost of attending private colleges in bigger cities, which may be significantly higher than attending a college like NIT Mizoram.
NIT Silchar is the best choice in terms of placement & ROI for an engineering program among NIT Agartala, NIT Mizoram, NIT Nagaland, NIT Manipur, NIT Meghalaya, NIT Sikkim and NIT Arunachal Pradesh.
In 2023 companies like Microsoft, Amazon, Adobe and offered the highest package of 80 lakh per year and average package is 14 lakh per year and the placement percentage is 90%.
This indicates that NIT Silchar offers the best deals in placement with 100% opportunity. This university emphasizes industry exposure through guest lectures, workshops, and internships, which can enhance your employability. Jeez Lazar (Executive Director, JP MORGAN), Prasanta Kr Das (Country Manager, Enterprise Services, HEWLETT PACKARD), and many more notable personalities are alumni.
Selecting NIT Silchar for my placement will be a wise decision. The exceptional courses, expert faculty, and modern facilities ensure to provide an excellent education.
I completed my BTech CSE from NIT Manipur in 2021. NITs consistently perform well in terms of placements. NITs fees are much lower compared to SRMIST and other private engineering colleges.
For your convenience, I have compiled the 2023 placement figures of all these colleges:
Parameters | NIT Manipur | *NIT Mizoram | NIT Sikkim | SRMIST Chennai (2024 Placements ongoing) |
---|---|---|---|---|
Highest/Average Package | Highest: INR 47 LPA Average: INR 9.7 LPA (2022 placements) |

*The 2023 placement figures might have increased for NIT Mizoram.
NIT Manipur has the best placement figures among the three NITs. As per NIRF 2023 Engineering Ranking, NIT Manipur ranks 95th, while NIT Sikkim ranks in the 151-200 bracket.
NITs are “Institutes of National Importance''. NITs are government colleges. They come next in line to IITs for their high brand value. Though SRM Chennai is a well-known college, it does not carry the same reputation as the IITs and NITs. Due to these factors, I had decided to pursue BTech CSE from NIT Manipur.
One of my friends completed his Engineering from NIT Raipur recently and I think his review will help you in choosing one between NIT Raipur and NIT Mizoram.
In my opinion, NIT Raipur is much better than NIT Mizoram.
