Which is good in between IIT Patna and NIT surathakal?

Directly coming to answer

1. No doubt IIT is a big name than NIT and has more brand value. (Society will suddenly start respecting you)
2. Median package of NIT Patna is around 9 lakhs while of NITK is 7–8 lakhs but NITK(Surathakal) has placed more number of students, almost double of IIT Patna. Average package of IIT Patna Computer Science is 17 lakhs per annum with 100% placement while of NITK CS is also about 16–17 lakhs.
3. NITK was established in 1960 while IIT Patna was established in 2008. So NITK is much older Institute and has a strong Alumni network which is a big plus point.
4. NITK has good connectivity to cities like Banglore ( known as pink city of IT).
5. You should see the campus tour once (it matters in a long run, I personally liked NITK campus it’s beautiful lush green campus).

(NITK has 3 college beaches also)
