It is unfair to compare IIIT Allahabad with NIT Hamirpur. If you take a look at the closing cutoff for IIIT Allahabad and NIT Hamirpur, the difference will be clear.

If you have the option to choose IIIT Allahabad, go for it without giving it a second thought. Now if you clear the cutoff for IT at IIIT A, you will be eligible for ECE as well.

Here is a brief comparison of IIIT Allahabad and NIT Hamirpur.

I have many friends at IIIT Allahabad and based on what I heard from them I will suggest you choose the institute.

Decide a branch that you prefer, after that go through the colleges of that particular branch. Pay attention to the college’s overall performance, placements, faculties, location, etc. as they are the major factors.

• If you are inclined towards the IT sector and love coding then you should definitely choose IT. It will help you gain multiple opportunities in your career in the private sector.
• If you are interested in building your career in the public sector, then the Chemical branch at IET Lucknow will be a better option.
• You will get enough time for the preparation for exams like GATE or even PSU.
• The Placement scenario at IET Lucknow for the Chemical branch is good. 64 students have been placed in the year 2020.
• The Placement scenario in BIET for IT is average. Few good companies visit the campus for placement for IT.

The scenarios may change in the coming future. It is important to talk to recently passed out students of these colleges to know the current scenarios before making the decision.

BIET Jhansi is a government college whereas JSS Noida is a private college. I have heard a lot about JSS Noida as my brother graduated from this college last year. JSS being a private college charges a higher amount than BIET.

Both of the colleges are good enough to take admission but let’s compare it with a few factors.

1. The infrastructure of BIET isn’t up to the mark whereas JSS Noida is well-maintained and has a beautiful campus that includes greenery as well.
2. The hostel services and the premises of BIET are cheaper and aren’t well-furnished.
3. As Jhansi is in Bundelkhand and it is a small city, BIET doesn’t provide good facilities because of its location.
4. On the contrary, the students of JSS Noida have the access to prepare for any other competitive exams like CAT, UPSC, GATE, CSE, ESE, GMAT/GRE and many more.
5. Noida is near Ghaziabad, which is the NCT of Delhi and many coaching institutes run in Ghaziabad.
6. This fortunate opportunity isn’t available for the students of Jhansi.

Moreover, the facilities of JSS Noida are better than BIET Jhansi. So it is suggested that you go for JSS Noida over BIET Jhansi.

You should go with IIITs in any case as they are the better choice. You will be studying with some of the top students in the country who have managed to secure a rank under 35000. You will be exposed to a great study atmosphere and competition.

You cannot get this sort of exposure in local private colleges (with some exceptions) where several students get admission through management quota. Most of them are also from rich and well-to-do families who are just looking to secure a degree.

To be honest, you cannot compare an institute of national importance with a state-level private college. You should not underestimate the academics of colleges due to the absence of a permanent campus or infrastructure.

A lot of the students from these colleges have a really good caliber and the potential to gain international recognition without the support of the college administration.

Since my friend is an alumnus of IIIT Allahabad, she will be well suited to talk about the faculty of the institute.

All the teaching staff of IIIT Allahabad is Ph.D. holders from institutes that are reputed, for example, IIT Bombay, IIT Kharagpur, IIT Kanpur, etc. Some of them have received their Ph.D. from institutes like the University of Reading, UK. So it goes without saying that the faculty members have expertise in their respective areas of teaching.

The teaching style of the faculty is the same as that of other institutes like the IITs and/or IISc. They teach during the class. If you have doubts, you can ask the faculty and they will be very happy to resolve the same. They are very supportive.

Don’t make faculty a major deciding factor for choosing an institute. Both IIIT Allahabad and MNNIT are reputed institutes in the field of IT.

IIEST Shibpur is one of the oldest engineering colleges in India. As it is one of the most wanted engineering colleges, the closing rank for IIEST is expected to be quite steep.

For B.Tech Information Technology, the recent cutoff for outside and home state students at IIEST were as follows.

• Home State - 11084 - 13249
• Outer State - 9524 - 17031

This is for the general category students. So, there’s a thin chance that you will get admission at IIEST IT.

However, you should not lose hope as the stats may change after every round. For more details regarding cutoff, you can visit their official website.
