Hi Ambala, hope you are doing well. Now as per your question I want to mention that it is quite difficult to compare these two institutes solely on the basis of CSE Branch. Both are equally good institutes with good faculty. Both NIT Agartala and IIIT Bhubaneswar have been set up in 2006. Both offer very good placements too. Now coming to main part, according to me NIT Agartala will have the upper hand than IIIT Bhubaneswar as not only its higher ranked than its compatriot in NIRF but is also an Institute of National Importance set up by the Union Government of India and functions under MHRD. Morover NIT Agartala has branches ranging from CSE to Biotech whereas IIIT Bhubaneswar provides B.Tech and M.tech courses only in CSE,ECE, IT & Electronics And electrical engineering which means the number of companies visiting the campus for placements is quite huge in NIT Agartala compared to IIIT Bhubaneswar. Hence you get more exposure in terms of choices. Now if you are an IT freak and think of landing developing personal skills in CSE then go for IIIT BHUBANESWAR. Morover the overall fees for B.Tech(4 yrs) of NIT Agartala is quite less compared to its compatriot. Hope this helps

Thanking you

Yours sincerely
