Thus in the long run IET will be better for your career.
I have a few friends at IIIT Nagpur, so I think I can give a valid answer for this. IIIT Nagpur does not accept MHCET scores. IIIT Nagpur is a national institute and comes under the purview of Ministry of Human Resource Development (MHRD), the Government of India (GoI), and not under the Directorate of Technical Education (DTE), Maharashtra.
According to the rules, IIIT Nagpur accepts only JEE (Mains) score for admission based on its All India Rank. Even it does not have a state quota like NITs (50% seats reserved for home state students). So admission is purely based on your rank at the national level in JEE (Mains).
Choosing IIIT Nagpur would be a better choice than Manipal. Choosing IIIT Nagpur over Manipal Institute of Technology is a decision rooted in several factors that cater to specific academic and career aspirations. IIIT Nagpur, an Institute of National Importance, offers specialized and cutting-edge programs, coupled with a research-oriented approach, which may make it a compelling choice for those seeking focused education in emerging technology fields.
In conclusion, opting for IIIT Nagpur over Manipal Institute of Technology is a good decision. IIIT Nagpur's status as an Institute of National Importance, its focus on emerging technology domains, research-oriented faculty, and potential for advanced studies in niche areas make it a compelling choice for individuals with a clear vision of their academic and career goals.
SIT Tumkur is a decent choice. Both the ISC and CS branch faculties are very well established as compared to the other faculties in the college. The syllabus is also very well updated and is set according to industry standards.
A number of different companies hire students from a number of different branches with decent packages of INR 3 to 7 LPA. Many different companies like TCS, Accenture, Siemens, Bosch, Byjus, etc. visit the college annually.
Lastly, if you want a fair comparison, my advice to you would be to visit both colleges and get in touch with the departments, their students and seniors. You are basically going to invest 4 years of your life here.
If you get a chance to join top institutes, do your research and opt for the very best. You will be the one to spend 4 years learning that particular subject. In this case, both IIIT Nagpur and IEM Kolkata are good colleges.
Having known people studying in both IIIT Nagpur and IEM, I can say that IIIT Nagpur was recently established whereas IEM is quite older and has enough experience as an educational institution.
