⚠️ Important Note

  • Tier classification is unofficial and changes over time.
  • Your branch matters more than tier in many cases.
  • CSE/ECE in a Tier 2 NIT can sometimes be better than lower branches in Tier 1 NITs.
  • Skills, coding, internships and projects ultimately decide placements.
  • College tier alone does not decide career success.
