Considering the fact that you are getting the same branches in both the colleges i would categorically state NIT Kurukshetra to be better than VIT. There might be some online rankings deceiving you but believe me compared to VIT, NIT is better at any day.
- You will get a tag of NIT (An institute of national importance).
- Permanent membership to NIT fraternity. 😉
- You will get comparatively better placements. If u are an average student also there will be surety of job.
- Nearness to cities like Chandigarh and Delhi.
- However by no means i say that VIT is not a good college. As i have used the word comparatively.
