Hi there!

I have always believed that an old and established institute offers more than a newer established institute. The advantages include a reputation, alumni, more clubs, better campus as most new NITs operate from temporary campus.

Coming to North-east, if you are talking about NITs, we divide them into two categories-

Old ones.

NIT-Silchar and NIT-Agartala comes under this category both established in 1960s. I am a student of NITA and have visited NITS. Both have great campus, active clubs and cells, good placement and infrastructure. They are better than most of the newer NITs even those in mainland and some older NITs too. For more about NITA, you can click on the link:

New Ones

All other NITs of NE are under this category- meghalaya, Sikkim, Arunachal Pradesh, Manipur, Mizoram, Nagaland. They are new institutes and as a new institute, they all have certain issues which every new institute has to face. They are promising being an NIT and the best part is no matter what NIT you are in, you get a peer group as all of them have cracked JEE Mains to be there.

Overall it depends on you, there are success story from every NIT and IIT, but what we don't see are the failures. So it depends on your hard-work and determination that which story you want to be part of.

Do your research, and fill your choices in Josaa carefully.

All the best.
