What Drives Package Differences Across NITs

CSE package variation across NITs is influenced by factors like institute age and reputation, alumni network in the tech industry, city/location (proximity to tech hubs tends to draw more recruiters), and historical placement track record. NIT Trichy, NIT Surathkal and NIT Warangal are generally regarded as the strongest NITs for CSE placements due to their long-standing reputation and consistent recruiter relationships, though all figures here should be treated as general estimates rather than precise numbers.
