The first thing you should consider is whether you want to pursue a Ph.D. or want a job after the completion of the course. I have a few friends at IIT ISM and I can tell you there are very few good faculties for CSE if you want guidance regarding Ph.D.
For any information regarding the faculty and research projects of IIIT Allahabad, you can visit both their faculty profile page and set a legitimate comparison with IIT (ISM).
Here are some other parameters of IIT (ISM), which you may find useful.
Placements:
The job prospects are increasing every year and the change is noticeable since its conversion to IIT. The institute also had a new director from IIT Kanpur. There also was a significant change in the placement cell, and the M.Tech placement stats have been kept under consideration, alongside B.Tech only after that.
The latest stats are as follows,

Average CTC |
INR. 14 LPA |
Highest CTC |

Moreover, the summer and 6-month internships have also been good over the past few years. For instance, the 2021 passing out batch has received several summer intern offers from companies like Goldman Sachs, Amazon, and Microsoft.
If you prepare for the coding session interviews from the beginning of the 1st year, then you are more likely to obtain internship opportunities. You can convert it to PPO before the placement season begins.
Other Parameters:
There is another thing you should consider. It is the number of students from either CSE or IT in B.Tech + M.Tech taking part in the placement season,
A total of 372 students participated in the placement drive from IIIT Allahabad while 203 participated from ISM Dhanbad.
However, there might not be a significant difference between companies that visit both institutes. Fewer participants in placements mean less competition.
So, I will suggest that you take all these factors into consideration and also do your own research. Consider other options too, if you have any.

These are some of the most important points that you need to take care of while dressing for any kind of interview, not just for XIMB.
According to my friends at NIT Agartala, it does not provide good placement opportunities and the highest CTC of the college is also decreasing day by day. But the placement at IIIT Allahabad is much better in comparison to NIT Agartala. The ECE placements are not better than CSE but you will get a good job from there.

Also, the infrastructure, faculties, placement, and location are also good at IIIT Allahabad. It is suggested you choose IIIT Allahabad over NIT Agartala.
One of my acquaintances has a better opinion on the same. He says that if you opt to take admission at IIIT Allahabad, then you are more likely to have better opportunities in the IT field.

However, in most cases, 10-15% of students choose ECE companies, but ever since software companies have become high-paying, several students tend to rather opt for an IT job profile.
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.
When it comes to choosing a stream for higher education, it's important to follow your interests and passions. Ultimately, the decision should be yours alone, and you should choose the stream that you feel most excited and enthusiastic about pursuing.
If you're considering IT or software engineering, there are a number of factors to take into account when making your decision. Here are some key points to consider:
With all of these factors in mind, it's worth noting that if you were in a position to choose between IT at IIIT Allahabad and software engineering at DTU, you might lean towards IT at IIITA. This is because IIIT Allahabad has one of the best CS faculty in all of India, which could provide a valuable learning experience and open doors to a wider range of career opportunities.
Additionally, the IT sector is known for offering great placement opportunities, which can be a key consideration for many students when choosing a program.
If you are interested in programming, you can definitely go for IIIT Allahabad and IIIT Bangalore. According to my friends studying there, they both have an excellent coding culture.
The points below give a brief overview of the present coding culture of IIIT Bangalore, which will increase the level of interest for a programming geek in the institute.
Therefore, even being in a nascent stage, students from IIIT Bangalore enjoy the top-level programming culture and so, there are huge scopes for such geeks in the institute.
Among the given options, BITS Pilani CSE is relatively better. Here is why.
As for the difficulty level of the curriculum, it’s entirely subjective.
IIIT Allahabad and IIIT Hyderabad are some of the most reputed engineering colleges in India. However, it is difficult to choose between the two as the branches you have mentioned are different. To make a more precise decision, first, decide which branch you want to opt for.

I have a bunch of colleagues who have done their graduation from IIITA and IIITH and based on the brief interaction I had with them, here are some of the insights they have to share:
If you get admitted to IIITA, satisfaction with your interest is guaranteed. If not, don’t feel you’ve settled for IIIT Hyderabad, as it is equally reputed and will fulfill your interest in computers.
JNTUH (Hyderabad) and JNTUK (Kakinada) are the local JNTUs that offers seats based on rank in TS Eamcet and AP Eamcet respectively while IIIT Allahabad is a Central Government Funded College that allocates seats based on rank achieved by the student in JEE Main.

While IIITA leads in every aspect when compared to JNTUK. So IIIT Allahabad is the best option when compared to both of the JNTU’s.
