I don’t know much about the education and syllabus of U.S. Universities, but I think Cornell, Berkeley, UIUC >>> NITs. I can give you some of the pros and cons of NITs.


You will meet some of the smartest students like Olympiad winners, chess champions etc.
Government subsidizes NIT education. You don’t have to spend thousands of dollars and can save this amount for your higher education.
Availability of many workshops from different companies.
NIT brand name is next to IITs.
One of the best alumni network.
You will also meet some of the weaker students here(thanks to reservation) who just keep on failing in all classes.
Most students don’t have any interest in their major, they are just forced by their parents to study engineering. They just do things as they are told by their faculty, there is no self passion for the subject. Many of them aspire to pursue an MBA and get in financial, business & management jobs in place of technical jobs.
Lack of undergraduate research opportunities.
Professors here are not even comparable to professors in U.S. Universities. They are less qualified. However, they are much better when compared to any other Indian institutes (Except IITs & BITS).
No option for choosing any other non-engineering subject as your major or minor. NITs offer only engineering courses.
Non-availability of high end equipments and lack of practical training for students.
Syllabus taught here are outdated and are not in accordance with the present need of Multinational companies.
