Hi,

Congratulations on being eligible for admission to these two reputed colleges. Both are excellent choices and thus, I can understand your confusion.

Jadavpur University is a state university but fares better in the National Ranking(NIRF all India 9th rank in engineering). The tuition fees is very less(around 3k per year) and the placements happen all throughout the year unlike in other colleges where it occurs only for 2-3 weeks. You get a lot of support if you're interested in research or for higher studies in top institutions in India and abroad. Being in the city of Kolkata, it would provide more opportunities too.

Faculty is good enough in both places and placement are also more or less the same. Jadavpur is slightly better for placements in the core sector. The fees at NIT Durgapur is around 75k per year and since it's a NIT, you can find students from all across the country there.

Your top priority must be your interest for the course and factors like placements, fees etc. Do not blindly go for the NIT tag. Choose the course which you are more inclined towards, as you have to spend 4 years atleast doing it.


All the best!
