You can definitely consider pursuing a PGDM course from the institute as it guarantees growth in your experience and personality development.

If you had specified the parameters on which you are judging the institute, it would have been easier to answer the question. In terms of quality of education, the two IIITs are better than the three NITs. 

Given below is a brief comparison of the institutes based on various parameters. You can make your decision based on that. 

Faculty:(IIIT Delhi > Top NITs ~ IIIT Allahabad)

IIIT Delhi has the best faculty. Even top NITs don’t come close to IIIT Delhi in terms of faculty. 

Campus Life: (Top 3 NITs > IIIT Allahabad > IIIT Delhi)

The top 3 NITs offer better campus life. As compared to NITs the workload of IIIT Delhi is too much. IIIT Delhi also does not have as many clubs and societies as top NITs. NIT campuses are also bigger in comparison. 

Hostels: (Winning Institute - IIIT Delhi)

• IIIT Delhi has better hostel facilities as compared to any other Govt. college or even some IITs for that matter. In summer you will get air conditioning and a heater in winter at IIIT Delhi. There are also sports facilities like Foosball and Swimming Pool, etc. 
• Other facilities available at IIIT Delhi are quite similar to that of NITs and IIIT Allahabad.

Placements: (IIIT Delhi ~ Top NITs ~ IIIT Allahabad)

In terms of placements, IIIT Delhi matches the placement statistics of top NITs. A student of IIIT Delhi has recently secured a placement package of 1.45 Crore. The average package of the institute mentioned in the question is around 15-17 lakhs (for CSE). 

Location: (IIIT Delhi > Top 3 NITs ~ IIIT Allahabad)

• IIIT Delhi enjoys the benefit of being situated in the capital. The city life, start-up culture, and many internship opportunities are some of the perks of attending IIIT Delhi. 
• Whereas, the top 3 NITs are situated in small cities. IIIT Allahabad is also located in Prayagraj, which does not offer a good city life or enough exposure. 

But whether you will like the campus or not depends on your background. If you are from South India, life in Delhi or Prayagraj may not be that appealing and vice versa. 

Reputation & Alumni Base: (Top 3 NITs > IIIT Delhi > IIIT Allahabad) 

• The top NITs have more recognition among the recruiting companies due to their legacy. IIIT Delhi is a fairly new establishment in comparison. Even though it is growing at a rapid pace, it is still up to the standard of the top NITs. 
• The alumni base of the top 3 NITs is also better due to the same reason. 

If you are genuinely interested in coding, you should choose IIIT Delhi or IIIT Allahabad. Otherwise don’t go for IIITs.

If NIT Trichy is your only option, then you can go for it. But for Civil Engineering infrastructure can be a vital factor. 

The budget that usually is allocated for infrastructure incorporates buying lands from peasants to fund the research later on with a low-cost housing or environmental impact assessment. 

If you have chosen Civil Engineering, based on your electives, you could opt to specialize in Hydraulics engineering, Structural engineering, Environmental engineering, Building materials, Geotechnical Engineering, Transportation Engineering, Construction Management, Infrastructural engineering, and other relevant disciplines. 

It is best to get familiar with the topics briefly noted above. Based on your knowledge and expertise, choose one (or more, if required) of the many specializations and then do a brief research on the basic amenities, like faculty strength and similar aspects of NIT Trichy. 

However, in terms of academics, NIT Trichy is an excellent choice.

Summer internships are part of the curriculum at XIMB and are graded with a certain number of credits. So, it is necessary for every student to do a summer internship compulsorily. Thus it is made sure by the institute itself that every student gets an internship for the summers. So, it is entirely false that XIMB does not have 100% summer internship placements. Some students do find better offers than given in the campus placements and thus they opt out of the process. Otherwise, placements are handled by the institute itself.

Also, do not think of summer internships as final placements. You may not get an internship at a reputed company, but you will get an internship for sure. Final placements are a whole different game than summer placements. There have been instances where students who have done internships at smaller companies have landed top jobs during final placements. So, it actually matters less which company you did an internship for, rather grades, business acumen is more important for final placements. You should focus on studies, participating in business school competitions to hone your skills and you will definitely do well in your placements.

Some of my friends studying at IIM Indore mentioned that yes, IPM has a foreign student exchange program. The students usually go in their 3rd or 5th year. They get to study one whole trimester (3 months). They will get an opportunity to study in the universities IIM Indore has collaborated with. 

Some of the Universities IIM Indore has collaborated with includes the following:

• Alba Graduate Business School, Greece.
• Asian Institute of Management, Manila.
• Auckland University of Technology, New Zealand.
• Baruch College, City University of New York, USA.
• Bocconi, Italy.
• Munich Business School, Germany.
• International School of Management, Dortmund, Germany.

The student exchange program is really important as it will provide both international exposure and perspective. This program gives an enriching academic experience.

One of my friends from school attends Thapar University. Here is his insight regarding the class timing at the institute.

• Since you are from the first year this is vaguely how your week will be academic. The total hours in the first semester per week is nearly 27 hours.
• Your Mondays will be normal, most likely to end at 3 noon and begin at 8 in the morning. 
• Your Tuesdays will be short. You will most probably have classes from morning 8 to noon 1. 
• Your Wednesdays will be busy with classes from 8 in the morning to 5 in the evening. 
• On Thursdays, you will have classes from 9 in the morning to 4-5 in the evening. Your 
• Fridays will be short. Most likely to end before noon 1.
• Between all this, you will have an hour lunchtime which will be either from 12 to 1 or 1 to 2. Saturdays and Sundays are off. Most of the common tests especially Maths are conducted on Saturdays.

Try to enjoy the first semester as it is one of the least credit semesters. Manage your time properly. You will be given a week off before Mid Terms and the end semester to study.

Do attend labs as they are easy and you will get free attendance. Try to maintain a good relationship with TAs. If they are on your side, you are most likely to score well.
