Hi.

First of all it is strongly recommended that you have knowledge about the institute prior to locking in the choices.

As far as NIST is concerned, it was a college will good research facility, academic-industries tie up, recreational facility such as grounds for various physical games are available, medical facility provided, and a lot more.. which you can read on their official website (http://www.nist.edu/about/nistataglance.html)

Although it has a median placement package of 3 LPA for Engineering and 2.6 LPA for Architecture. You can make a better choice if you have peer reviews from alumni or students of that college which you can read on this page .
