Hi Bipasha! 

Greetings! 

Go for NIT Durgapur.

Reason 1.

Unlike Calcutta University you will be assured of a good placement at the end of 4 yrs as the first batch of 4 yr Btech hast graduated from CU so…nothing can be said about placements

Reason 2

.Being an NIT..Its overall popularity in the field of Technology is much better than Calcutta University which is mainly a multidisciplinary university primarily known for courses like pure science,Law,arts,etc and. not primarily focused on a certain course like engineering…and the 4 yr Btech curriculum is fairly new.

Reason 3.

Exposure as a student of an NIT is moreEnvironment and marking scheme will be better at NIT Durgapur as here at CU…getting good marks is tough and the environment lacks enthusiasm and energy…If you are interested in Chemical then you can think otherwise…otherthan than that…..Go for NIT Durgapur…as here at CU the course is new and nothing is guaranteed.

Reason 4 .

You can aslo slide your stream from mechanical later after 1st yr at NIT DGP. So chances are you could end up getting ECE or CSE there too.
