Hello,

COEP was established in 1854, the third oldest college in Asia. According to the HRD ministry ranking of engineering colleges , COEP lands at the 21st position. NIT Warangal which is supposed to be one of the better NITs lands at the 28th position.

NITs get direct funding from the  central government which enables them to provide many facilities. COEP being an autonomous college has a good curriculum and well thought out syllabus.

Not all NITs are superior to COEP, but if you still want to go for an NIT then go for the top 10s or the old and famous ones over COEP. COEP is just as good a college, and being in the shadows of the IITs and NITs COEP's ranking and the constant comparison gives us an idea about the reputation that COEP holds.

Hope this helps!
