Hi Anant
If you are comparing the top NITs, and IITs, there isn't much of a difference, specially at the postgraduate level. However, if you are not getting a top NIT eg. Trichy, Warangal etc., and you can keep yourself motivated to study for an year, you should wait and go for an IIT (preferably Delhi/Bomaby/Madras/Guwahati/Roorkee/Kanpur/Kharagpur). For further higher studies, IIT would definitely be a big advantage while applying in foreign universities, however for industry, both NITs and IITs are comparable.
