Which is better, IIIT Allahabad IT+ business informatics or IIIT Lucknow new CSAI?
For the students having CRL in between 4-10k in JEE Mains, this is the most difficult choice for them. There are several factors according to which a student should make a decision. Here are the factors.
Interest: Among Artificial Intelligence and Business Informatics, you should go with his/her interests.
Scope: Scope plays an important role as what's in trend today would be out of trend tomorrow. In this category, AI is the future.
Here a little bit about both courses to help you give an idea.
AI is the mechanism through which a machine displays its intelligence as a human does which depends on the existing data and instructions while Business Informatics combines the knowledge of economics, IT, and CSE and is focussed mainly on business-related areas.
The other factors that you should consider are as follow.
Placements: Although both AI and BI are in demand, the placements are rigorously good in AI. If you are good with the concepts of BI you could get placed in that field too.
Curriculum: Both courses have a specifically designed curriculum.
College Life: It plays an important role in the overall development of a student and IIIT Lucknow has better infrastructure than IIIT Allahabad and would be more suitable.
Location: IIIT Lucknow is a prime location. But you should consider the distance of the institute from your home too.

Should IIIT, Allahabad start taking students again through the JEE Advanced, just as they did during the early years of the institute?
Well, the answer is definitely.
Firstly, it should always be remembered that all the normalisation progression of JEE Mains and boards mark is very out of order. The thing is that every percent that the student scored in their board exam is worth a huge rank difference of 2334. However, the calculation is done as per the unwarranted normalisation formula. Besides, IIIT Hyderabad is a private institute, and it considers JEE main scores with a definite cut-off mark in the previous board examination.
Additionally, IIIT Allahabad considers its admission process in two ways. One is JEE Main scores with a definite percentage in the previous board exams or only JEE Advanced scores. Regarding this, the first option is quite impractical as IIITA is a Central Government affiliated institute; thus, it implements only the second options; that is, the scores of JEE Advanced.
Another important thing is that IIITA is almost similar to IITs and then to the NITs because, in this institute, there is no state quota. Besides, the remuneration of the Professors of this institute is almost similar to IITs. It represents that this institute admits students considering the JEE Advanced scores. But, the student should keep in mind that it is not so important how they get admission to IIITA; the thing is how they will perform in this institute in their entire course tenure.
