I believe NIT Patna will be a better choice than NIT Silchar as far as Mechanical Engineering is concerned. Located near Industrial Hubs at Jharkhand, UP and Odisha further provides impetus to training and placement opportunities. Companies like Tata Motors, TVS, Tata Hitachi, Cummins Pune, L&T, IOCL, Vedanta are regular recruiters at NIT Patna Mechanical and the branch experiences almost 80% placements each year.

Secondly being one of the older technical institutes with a strong alumini base, good infrastructure and laboratory facilities, excellent Faculties as well as outlook, it provides good Engineering Education.
