BIT Mesra Engineering and Architecture Courses & Fees 2025

Hello Vaibhav,

You're in a good spot with a 97 percentile and solid IIIT/NIT/BIT Mesra options.

If your aim is software/tech industry (coding, product, startups, placements): opt for CSE at any of the IIITs at Dharwad, Ranchi, Bhagalpur or Manipur. Even tier-3 IIITs (CSE) will lead to better placements and internship opportunities in software roles than core branches at NITs. These will lead to better ROI than core branches, due to the tech placements and remote work.

Your next best option: IIIT ECE at Sri City or Una (ECE at Sri City has good industry engagement since it is close to Chennai & tech parks).

Recommended Prioritisation (if you are comfortable pursuing a tech career):

1. IIIT CSE (Dharwad > Ranchi > Bhagalpur > Manipur)
2. BIT Mesra – ECC/EEE
3. IIIT ECE (Sri City > Una > Nagpur > others)
4. NIT JSR – Civil > Metallurgy > Production
5. IIITDM Kancheepuram (Mech).
