Choosing a Branch, Not Just a College
A strong department at a lower-ranked college usually beats a weak one at a higher-ranked college, and the institute's overall NIRF position says little about any single branch. Where two options are close, look at what the department actually offers — labs, electives, who recruits from it — rather than the badge on the certificate.
