My brother is from NIT Pondicherry and so I can give you an insight into the recent scenario at the campus. 

• It boasts a new 256-acre campus with the best hostel and mess facilities. The rooms are pretty large, well-furnished, and spotless.
• Every floor has a common room with an LCD TV that you can use at any time to watch sports, movies, or another programming.
• Each hostel has two lifts. As a result, you won’t have to bother about stair climbing.
• In the hostel and college, they have high-speed Wi-Fi
• The campus now has a general small departmental store and a canteen that is open from 7:30 a.m. to 10:30 p.m.
• Security personnel is on duty 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
• Every month, faculty and students host a series of cultural and academic events.
• All of the professors, lecturers, and lab assistants are really helpful.
• Placements aren’t as good as they could be compared to big institutions, but they’re still good and getting better every year. To get a good job, also depends on your caliber and skills

You’ll be able to meet students from all around India, as well as from other countries.

One of my friends studied in JNTU Hyderabad and she says that the college is very good when it comes to studies and placement. 

It gives you great opportunities to build your career and thrive in it. The subject knowledge is crucial and is given great importance there. The curriculum is also very structured and helps students with the approach to study. Many MNCs participate in the placement drive. In the NIRF Ranking 2021, JNTU has ranked 62 along with other NITs. It will be unfair to compare two very different entities but you can choose based on your requirement. 

I have a few friends from NIT Puducherry and according to them, students in NIT-P are facing difficulties due to the negligence of the administration. 

The basic facilities are not provided. The administration is solely focused on increasing the number of courses in the institute. The institute lacks proper classrooms, hostel rooms and accommodation, water facilities, and a proper power supply. Even the basic amenities of the students are not being fulfilled.

There is also a transportation problem from the institute side. They have very few numbers of vehicles when compared to the number of students. Students on average waste about 5 hours per day due to the transportation problem. 

But the situation is getting better slowly, now that it has moved to its own campus. Many of the important structures like the science block and hostels are built already. 

VIT CSE is better in terms of placements, industry exposure, opportunities, and many other things as compared to NIT Puducherry Electrical. According to the recent placement highlights of VIT, the average CTC offered was 6 LPA and the highest CTC offered was 75 LPA. 

On the other hand, NIT Puducherry is a Govt. college. It changes less course fee. For a B.E degree, NIT Puducherry charges around 2.17 lakhs, while a B.Tech from VIT will cost around 8 lakhs. The peer group at the institute is great. You will also have the NIT tag with your degree. That is certainly a perk of pursuing a degree at NIT Puducherry. 

However, you should choose the institute based on your interest. If you like coding go for VIT CSE, or if you like basic sciences more than NIT Puducherry Electrical Engineering will be a better option for you.

The CSE department is a great department to study in VIT. Students are open to a lot of facilities and learning resources. The teaching staff is helpful as well. 

• The CSE department of VIT ranks right after top IITs, IIIT Hyderabad, BITS Pilani, and the top NITs. The department is well-reputed in the industry.
• VIT has a great research culture. The course curriculum is industry-oriented. 
• The coding culture at VIT is thriving. CSE students from the institute do great in GSoC, ACM ICPS, and other competitions. 
• There’s a great startup ecosystem on campus at VIT. Many people are doing great things in Machine learning and Artificial Intelligence. 
• You do not need to worry much about placement if you have joined VIT. In the 2021 placement drive, the highest CTC offered was 75 LPA. 

So, choosing VIT for your CSE degree will definitely be worth it. 

NIT Puducherry is really a nice institute. Let’s see some facts about it :

• The campus is huge, covering 256 acres, with a sea nearby that provides a cool wind 24 hours a day, and the temperature is pleasant.
• Because it is a new institution located outside of town, the atmosphere is serene and quiet, providing a conducive learning environment, free of all forms of politics.
• It is completely free of ragging, and the seniors are really kind and helpful.
• The sunrise and sunset views of the institution and its surrounding environs are spectacular.
• The infrastructure is fantastic, with a four-storey hostel for guys and a two-storey hostel for girls (girls).
• Mess food is really good and tasty.
• The wifi at the campus has high-speed internet. LAN is also being set up

You might not get good placement offers as the institute is currently in a development phase. But it is still improving each year. Another issue with the institute is that you will be required to submit a lot of assignments in a term. Overall, you will enjoy your time at NIT Puducherry.

NIT Puducherry has recently shifted to its permanent campus, although IIITDM’s campus seems better. As for the faculty, again IIITDM has an upper hand but you will have to figure out an approach towards them. 

Both the institutes have a fairly comprehensive and challenging curriculum for their students. They are both good placement wise but if you have more than 7.5 CGPA you will be allowed to sit for all the companies in IIITDM. You can see which suits best to your requirements. 

It depends upon what subject you would like to pursue. Here are some of the factors that may help you decide between NITK and NIT Puducherry. 

• In terms of the name and brand value, the reputation of NIT Karnataka Surathkal is unmatched.
• NIT-K is the 13th NIT in India, according to the 2020 NIRF rankings, while NIT Puducherry does not have a NIRF ranking.
• In terms of infrastructure, NIT-K is relatively ahead of NIT Puducherry.
• Most essentially, NIT-K is recognized around the nation for its academics, newly enhancing research impetus, and curriculum.
• NITK also has a great placement record. The average CTC offered at the institute is 14 LPA. While the average CTC offered at NIT Puducherry is 6 LPA.

If you don’t have any inclination towards a specific branch then you should choose NITK.
