From what I have heard, VIT Vellore is a money-making machine that accepts donations and admits every kind of student irrespective of their academic profile. The rankings that claim VIT to be better than IITs are baseless and forged. Don’t fall into their trap and talk to the students directly. You will find most of them saying that the professors are underqualified, have no interest in teaching and the academic environment is deteriorating. VIT is just a private university like Amity that is attracting students through fake advertisements and donations.

I would recommend you go for a government institute like DTU instead that has a genuine brand value. 

Let’s compare the top NIT, NIT Trichy with BITS Pilani to determine if NITs are better than BITS or not.

• Tag: The brand value of both BITS and NITs is almost similar though the courses offered are slightly different. BITS offers to BE, while NITs offer BTech like IITs. 
• Curriculum: BITS has a major-minor system making it possible to major in Mechanical and minor in Economics. Additionally, BITS offers dual degrees also. NIT Trichy on the other hand offers the Honors degree to those who show distinguished grades in 8 all sems and take 3 AP classes. 
• ROI: Considering the high BITS Pilani fees, the return on investment offered by NITs is way better than BITS unless money is your last concern.
• Student pool: NITs have a reservation policy while BITS does not. This ensures better crowd quality at BITS and even better competition in comparison to NITs.
• Extra-Curriculars: Students get enough time to focus on extracurricular activities at BITS because of the flexibility to choose electives and no attendance. It also encourages a startup culture among its students. NIT's rigidity of curriculum makes it difficult to spare time for extracurriculars.
• Higher Education: NITs alumni have a history of pursuing higher education from top universities in the US and Europe. So it’s a winner in this aspect.
• Placements: BITS Pilani CSE has excellent placement opportunities while for mechanical NIT Trichy is a better choice as it offers better placement in the core. 

Ultimately, I would suggest you go for NIT if you want to pursue higher studies or core jobs while BITS Pilani is the best choice for CSE. 

This is a very subjective question. However, as a student of ECE at NIT Surathkal, I am writing down a few points in defense of my degree-

1. First of all, NIT Surathkal offers a much more complete and diversified engineering education. This is because you will get to interact with the students of various disciplines from around the institution. This will offer a good exposure in contrast to the IIITs which are entirely focused on CSE and ECE branches.

1. ECE is the branch of the future. CSE is turning more and more into a commodity. This is due to the dilution of its educational standards, and the increasing volume of students in this branch. 

1. As an ECE student, you can always learn programming (it is in fact a part of the curriculum in a limited manner). However, it is much more difficult to learn the concepts of ECE as a CSE student. 

1. As an ECE student you can be placed in a software company, but as a CSE student you can’t work in the E&C field. 

1. Both the colleges are good, but NITK holds more prestige because it is much older. Its campus is very impressive as well.

But even IIIT Bangalore CSE is a great option. Once you’ve made a decision, stop seeking others’ opinions. Instead, work on your skill enhancement. Considering the sheer lack of core jobs in the electronics sector in India and the huge placement opportunities in the IT sector, your choice is good from a placement point of view. 

No, VIT is not better than NITs at all. In fact, its a private engineering college so it will cost you much more than studying at a government college like NIT. Here is why I think NITs in general or NIT Durgapur, in particular, is better than VIT

• Although NITs have a reservation policy, it does not suck as much as the Management Quota at VIT that lets in a huge number of average students.
• The placement statistics clearly put NIT Durgapur ahead of VIT. 
• NIT Durgapur has a rich legacy and is highly reputed among recruiters. 
• You will get the advantage of the NIT tag and one can deny the fact that it does give you an edge over others

Here is a brief overview of these colleges

Ultimately, it depends on your passion for studying because if you are passionate enough, even an average college will bring out the best in you.

Among these CMC Vellore is better. It is a great option for pursuing an MBBS. CMC Vellore MBBS is ranked among the top 5 in the country. It has a brilliant faculty base. Most of the faculty members are friendly. You can approach even the senior-most faculty members regarding any problem. 

As a tertiary care center, CMC Vellore gets many complicated and rare cases.  So, students receive valuable clinical exposure. There are good opportunities for research as well. CMC has a number of elective and exchange programs in reputed institutes like Karolinska Institute, NUS, Uppsala, etc. CMC Vellore alumni network is widespread. Students of the institute are in various positions all across the world. 

One other thing that sets CMC Vellore apart from other medical colleges is the focus on community health and development. Right from the bigging of the courses, there are classes, projects, and frequent visits to make students aware of the problems that rural and urban India are facing. CMC Vellore has one of the best community health department in the country. 

Mechanical and Civil Engineering are core branches of engineering and both offer good future prospects. You should choose one according to your interest. 

• Both Civil Engineering and Mechanical Engineering require good knowledge of Applied and Material Physics. If you are interested in Physics, you should consider other branches of engineering. 
• Even though the base of these branches is Physics, the syllabus differs widely. So you should take a look at the syllabus for both branches before choosing one. 
• Talk to the people who are currently working in these domains and get to know what exactly they are doing. This can help you a lot to select the right course for you.
• It will be better if you take a look at the M.Tech syllabuses for both branches as well. This will clear your vision in case you want to pursue higher studies in the future.
• You will get decent job opportunities from either of these branches. There are govt sector jobs as well as the private sector. 

So, factor in all these points and see what interests you more. 

I have a lot of friends who are doctors today and have completed their M.B.B.S. from either CMC Vellore or AIIMS. I can easily answer your question.

• Most graduates after completing their M.B.B.S. from AIIMS prefer either settling abroad or aiming for higher education while CMC graduates mostly continue their higher education at CMC itself.
• CMC students are required to do bonds in missionary hospitals and their higher education is their second priority. They provide social services in the form of healthcare facilities in remote areas of the country and contribute largely to society. AIIMS students' priority is usually a high-paying job or an excellent university for higher education.
• AIIMS graduates are more skilled in research and thus tend to publish more than CMC students.
• CMC students have more real-time experience than AIIMS students and possess great clinical and surgical skills. They can transform their theoretical knowledge into practical approaches way earlier than AIIMS students.
• CMC gives more preference to Christians and thus non Christians find it difficult to undergo training from MBBS to super-specialty at CMC.

These are some major points of comparison I have observed between my graduate friends from the 2 institutes.
