My brother is an alumnus of IET Lucknow and was able to shed some light on the differences between IET Lucknow and KNIT. 

• IET Lucknow has a higher brand value than KNIT Sultanpur. 
• IET Lucknow provides a better environment and exposure because it is located in the heart of the city and is well-connected to the rest of the city. 
• In comparison to KNIT, you can find students with good grades at IET Lucknow. In comparison to KNIT, placements at IET Lucknow are significantly better. According to the recent placement statistics the median CTC offered at IET is around 4.5 LPA. While the average CTC offered at KNIT is 4 LPA.
• In terms of academics and infrastructure also, IET is significantly superior. 

If you are in KNIT, you would have to travel to Lucknow or Allahabad for any placement drives or tests, as most firms or companies will not travel to the college in a rural area for placement drives. 

Last year my brother had the same option between these two institutes. He opted for CSE at PESIT, owing to its brand existing credibility among Bangalore's leading tech firms.

PES University has great industry-wide potential. When it comes to hiring outstanding talent, it is still the first choice for many of Bangalore's top companies. According to the recent placement highlights the median CTC offered at the institute is 6 LPA. 

PES will also offer you excellent faculties, great research culture, and a good peer learning experience.

Both colleges were established around the same time. Both colleges being two of the leading private colleges in India, their growth has been almost the same. So, choose the institute according to your convenience.

The choices you have right now are somewhat very closely related to what my brother’s choices were very recently in his career. Thus, here is a thorough insight about what my brother mentions,

• AIIMS Rishikesh, although still being under acute construction, is following the steps of development until today.
• While, on the other hand, MAMC is a rather well-established medical college, holding a top rank. 
• The structure and cultural advancement of the college have witnessed heavy developments.
• MAMAC has conducted several conferences and is one of the major hubs for industrial training. 
• The institute does not limit education to medicine, but also teaches communication skills, and what it takes to be a fruitful doctor, via major workshops, lectures, etc. 
• The same opportunities are quite limited if talking about AIIMS Rishikesh.

Here are some major benefits MAMC provides, which other institutes do not,

• Situated in the center of Delhi, it offers exposure to students, partially also helping patients reach their steps before they go to any other hospitalized institutes.
• If a student is based in Delhi itself, then they can quite naturally enjoy the Delhi quota, which includes 50% of the reservation in Delhi colleges, further for the PG seats. 
• AIIMS does not provide any facilities like the aforementioned, so it is a good idea to choose the former.

The only major advantage AIIMS Rishikesh enjoys over MAMC is the tag it has, which the latter does not have. So choose wisely.

Both the colleges mentioned above are one of the oldest yet one of the most reputed NIT in the country, as far as placements are concerned it is very difficult to say which one is better as both the institutes provide almost the same placement opportunities.

Placements for MNNIT Allahabad: It has an incredible alumni network, and some top reputed companies visit the campus every year.

• BHEL, Indogulf Fertilizers, Gati Infrastructures, Acolyte Hindalco, Ericsson India Global Services, Eaton, Direct, DIT, Deloitte, Dell, Indian Navy, Capgemini, Canon, Brahmos, BPCL, Bharat Institute of Technology, etc are the regular participants in the placements here.

• The total placement record for Engineering in 2019 was 100% with a median package of 4.14 lakhs per annum and a top package of 36 lakhs per annum for all of its branches.

Placement of NIT Surathkal: NIT Surathkal issued an outstanding record of placement with a hundred percent placement for all its students.

• The highest package offered was 39 lacs per annum, and the median package offered was around 14.15 lakhs per annum.

• Students received offers from Microsoft. Samsung, Microsoft, Adobe, Google, Goldman Sachs, etc.

So the records for the placements shows that NIT Surathkal is a bit better and has an edge over MNNIT Allahabad, in terms of overall placements and the total percentage of students placed.
