Ans: Prakhar, With a JEE Main rank of 17,300 and Home State (UP) status, Mechanical Engineering at NIT Allahabad emerges as the most viable option, given its 2024 closing rank of 19,748 for Home State quotas, aligning closely with your rank. NIT Allahabad’s Mechanical program demonstrates a 93% placement rate (2024) with core roles in automotive and manufacturing sectors from recruiters like Tata, L&T, and Siemens, alongside a robust internship rate of 60%. Comparatively, NIT Bhopal’s ECE program remains inaccessible with your rank, as its 2024 closing rank for ECE (Other State) was 2,338, far exceeding your current standing. DTU’s Mechanical Engineering, while offering 85% placement rates (2024) and exposure through Delhi’s industrial ecosystem, shows a 2024 closing rank range of 12,586–20,977 (General All India), positioning your rank at the higher end of the cutoff spectrum with no Home State advantage. While DTU provides broader interdisciplinary opportunities and IT recruitment via companies like Microsoft and Amazon, NIT Allahabad’s Mechanical program ensures stronger placement stability and home state quota benefits. Recommendation: Opt for Mechanical Engineering at NIT Allahabad for assured placements and core industry alignment, prioritizing program-specific opportunities over DTU’s location advantage given comparable academic rigor and higher placement certainty. All the BEST for your Admission & a Prosperous Future!

Ans: Hello Arharv
If you are getting CSE at Lower NITs, then go for it. Choosing a core branch while simultaneously preparing in DS+AI or coding may seem easy at the early stage, but maintaining consistency and staying updated becomes very difficult as time passes. As you mentioned, you are only interested in tech branches, so consider dropping the idea of electrical, mechanical, or chemical branches. Pursue CSE at any NIT and fulfill your dream; this is the best path for you.
Best of luck to you.
