NIT Tag Without the Debt
The entire 2-year program costs less than a single semester at many private colleges. Hostel and scholarship support are available, so you can focus on research instead of worrying about loans.
The verdict
Worth considering
A strong option if you're targeting research labs, teaching, or government PSUs like BARC, ISRO and DRDO. The fees are unbeatable and the NIT brand carries weight. But with a 40% placement rate and modest corporate CTCs, think twice if your main goal is an immediate high-salary tech job.
