Thanks for the A2A.
Yes, NIT_S is better than most of the state engineering colleges.
If you are asking of the state Engineering colleges (of Assam ) ,viz. AEC & JEC ( established back then) , DUIET, Bineswar Brahma Engg. college in Kokrajhar, etc. NIT Silchar is obviously far ahead from them in terms of facilties, infrastructure, academics, co-curricular, placements, etc.
Recently, released MHRD NIRF ranking places NIT Silchar amongst 53rd among all colleges in India and rated NIT Silchar as Top 10 NIT for this year.

But, state engineering colleges ( considering of whole country) like :-
- Jadavpur University , Kolkata
- Anna University.
- College of Engineering, Pune.
- Delhi Technological University.
