Hello Sir, My daughter has got Mechanical Engg. at NIT Nagaland in CSAB Round 1. She has already joined BTech Electronics & Computer Engg at VIT, Chennai. Is it advisable to leave VIT and join NIT Nagaland? How good are the faculty & placements at Nagaland? Is it safe there? We are in a dilemma to let go of the NIT tag. Please advise. Thank you Sir
Ans: The NIT tag carries prestige and recognition, but it’s essential to weigh it against the quality of education and overall experience, both NIT Nagaland and VIT Chennai have their merits, more or less reach out to current students or alumni from both institutions to get firsthand insights.
Majorly you have to consider factors like faculty expertise, infrastructure, exposure, and peer learning. You have to discuss with your daughter her preferences, career goals, and comfort level.
You may proceed for NIT Nagaland, it has a Training and Placement Cell that actively works on industry collaborations and skill development for students. While it’s a relatively new institute, it has made progress in terms of placements. Last year, about 70% of the first batch students received placements in reputed companies like National Instruments, Polaris, Verizon, Aricent, and IBM.
