Indian Institute of Information Technology Manipur vs National Institute of Technology Puducherry

Both colleges accept JEE Main through the CSAB and JoSAA counselling routes. For Computer Science and Engineering, IIITM's General closing rank in JoSAA round 6 of 2023 was 46,351, while NITP's was 19,758 in round 6 of 2025 under the OS quota. For Electronics and Communication Engineering, IIITM's General closing rank in round 6 of 2023 was 53,342, and NITP's was 24,078 in round 6 of 2025 under the OS quota.

You should compare these against your own rank, the quota you fall under and the year of the closing figure. Note that the years differ between the two colleges.

IIITM and NITP both list NAAC status as not accredited and approval status as unknown in the trust records. Neither is flagged on the fake list, and neither is marked as UGC recognised in the records.

NITP has an NIRF engineering rank of 99 for 2025. NITP's Think Grads Rating for B.Tech is 4.5 out of 5. Check each college's official approvals before applying.

IIITM is located in Manipur and offers 14 programmes in the engineering stream. NITP is located in Puducherry and offers 5 programmes, also in engineering. Both colleges therefore differ in state and in the number of programmes offered.

IIITM suits students who want a wider range of computer science and electronics specialisations, such as Cyber Security, Quantum Technologies and Artificial Intelligence with Data Science. NITP suits students who prefer a Puducherry location and a focused set of core engineering branches, including Civil, Mechanical and Electrical and Electronics Engineering. Students whose JEE Main rank falls in the band of NITP's recent closing ranks should look closely at its figures, while those in IIITM's band should check its 2023 closing ranks.
