Hi Ratan,

I would congratulate them on getting into NIT Trichy, because it is a dream for many people.

I would say it is purely based on their priorities so it can’t be said as a wrong choice or moreover as a mistake. But on the professional front you meant NIT-T CSE is better than any IIT CS branch then,

• The average package offered for NIT-T CSE is 10 to 12 Lakh p.a.
• For IIT-B the average salary went was of 27 Lakhs, with the highest paid was 1.9 cr INR p.a.
• For IIT-G the average salary offered was of 15 Lakhs
• For IIT Khargapur the average salary is 26 Lakh p.a., the highest could be 1.5 cr approx.
• For IIT Madras the package varied from a starting of 7 L p.a. to a whopping 95.87 Lakhs p.a.

Based upon the fees:

• NIT T 5.77 Lakhs p.a.
• IIT-B 8.46 Lakhs p.a.
• IIT-G 10.28 Lakhs p.a.
• IIT Khargapur 10.63 Lakhs p.a.
• IIT Madras 8.82 Lakhs p.a.

The average packages are almost about the same, but the highest packages are not; and with the right amount of hard work and dedication one could make it theirs.

They should not feel down or disheartened thinking that they took a wrong choice, but rather they should make their choice feel and look like the correct choice in all aspects. That person is about to begin their journey, so the leash is in their hands, and it’s totally upon them to make this choice worth it.

Hope this answers your doubt.
