Which is better for CSE/IT, IIT Gandhinagar or IIIT-Allahabad?

SS
Soutrik Singh Posted On : April 16th, 2021
BTech from IIIT Hyderabad

My friend studies at IIIT Allahabad. He considers it better than most of the IITs out there. If you are not after the IIT tag, go for IIIT Allahabad. However, both these institutions have an equally great reputation as eminent institutes of India. 

You may want to consider the following points as well, before deciding.

  • IIITA is an INI vide IIIT Act 2014 and IIT Gandhinagar is INI vide IIT Act 1961.
  • IIITA is well known for its IT program. Its placements have been excellent as well, in terms of consistency. In 2019, the placement rate was 95% and in 2020 it was 96%.
  • More than 120 companies have visited IIIT Allahabad over these years.
  • The institute also has a group of erudite faculty members which are quite helpful in the provision of support throughout the academic program. Some of my friend's favorites are BSS, Sanyal, Nandi, and others. The director of the department P Nagbhushan has been elemental in bringing in excellent faculty members who have been dedicated to the program, unlike IIT Gandhinagar.
  • The coding culture is brilliant here as well, because of which you can get placement offers with good companies.
  • The funding by the government is a hefty INR 72 crores for a single year for two branches; which is more than enough for IT.

Moreover, a lot of new departments are being constructed as BH5 7 floors building. The institute will rise in the years to come according to the plan charted by MHRD which includes the addition of startups, MOOCs, and employment of faculty members from countries abroad.

Which should I choose among DTU CSE, MNIT Jaipur CSE, and IIIT Allahabad IT?

SS
Savi Sharma Posted On : October 6th, 2023

DTU would be a better option for pursuing CSE than MNIT Jaipur or IIIT Allahabad. The reasons to choose DTU over other universities are as follows:

  1. Reputation: DTU is an institution that's ranked 29th among Delhi's top engineering schools. DTU is where the action happens. DTU secured the 7th position in India Today's Best Engineering Government Colleges survey. This does reflect its academic excellence.
  2. Learning on Your Terms: At DTU, they get it. Learning isn't one-size-fits-all. That's why they're all about flexibility. MOOCs (Massive Open Online Courses) and SWAYAM are your go-to buddies for mastering the fundamentals at your own pace.
  3. Star-Studded Alumni: Vijay Shekar Sharma (founder of Paytm), Suhail Sameer (CEO of Bharat) are DTU alumni.
  4. Good placement deals: A jaw-dropping INR 1.8 Crore Per Annum (CPA) was the maximum package offered. And on average, graduates are offered about INR 15.16 LPA. Companies both in India and around the world are eager to hire DTU grads.

So, whether you're into designing the next big app, engineering groundbreaking solutions, or simply want to make your mark in tech, DTU is your launchpad. It's where your dreams take flight, your passions are nurtured, and your future is crafted.

GS
Gunjan Sharma Posted On : July 5th, 2021
B.Tech Hons from International Institute of Information Technology, Hyderabad (2020)

IIIT Allahabad does not offer CSE as far as all the NITs in India are concerned, NIT Trichy is the best. The CSE department is quite well recognized too in the institute.

  • If you appeared for the JEE Mains, you would need a rank between 280 to 876 at least to secure a seat here.
  • NIT Trichy has a very big campus and you will have some of the best 4 years of your life here.
  • If you are looking to join some extracurricular activities along with academics, NIT Trichy hosts some of the best Cultural and Technical Festivals in the country known as Festember and Pragyan. You can also participate in various competitions including inter NIT ones.
  • There are some interdepartmental and inter-hostel competitions you can participate in as well.

Categories

NIT Trichy

Course Fee

5.65 lakh

Highest CTC

40 LPA

Average CTC

18 LPA

Recruiting Companies

Infosys, Capgemini, Accenture, Oracle, etc.

When it comes to IIITs, these mainly focus on academic life and not many extracurricular activities. So, if you are getting admission at both these colleges, you should go with NIT Trichy.

How do I apply for IIIT Allahabad?

HR
Heena Rao Posted On : March 23rd, 2021
Studies at Indian Institute of Information Technology, Lucknow (2022)

It’s not normally an easy way to secure admission in IIIT Allahabad. Although just like all the other IIITs, there is no home reservation for the state students so it doesn’t actually matter which state you belong to.

In my opinion, your All India Rank should fall somewhere under 6.5k for you to be able to get selected in a premier institute such as IIIT Allahabad.

The preparation for the examination requires a good amount of concentration and focus. It is always a good idea to revise from the last years’ question papers to get an idea of what exactly the paper looks like. It is important to revise and cover your entire syllabus before you appear in the examination before the admission process of IIIT Allahabad.

The syllabus for JEE Main as well as JEE Advanced is necessary to be covered too! Do not skip either. The concepts and basic chapters are the foundation of cracking this admission procedure.

You must constantly keep checking their official website regularly to stay updated with their admission process and declaration of results and cut-offs.

Should I choose 5 years (I.T. + robotics) at IIIT Allahabad or 5 years CSE at IIEST Shibpur?

RR
Radhika Roy Posted On : March 24th, 2021
Studied B.Tech at IIEST Shibpur (2019)

There’s no doubts about the fact that 5 years at IIITA is a smarter option compared to anything else. This is because of the simple calculation that you are going to study the same curriculum for 4 years BTech for 3 years. That is all about the core of CS and IT. One core and two electives are a part of the fourth year in a 4-year BTech program, which hardly makes any difference. 

According to the experts, Robotics is the future of the IT industry and hence, finding yourself in the midst of such an academically enriching atmosphere which ensures a full time access to a premium robotics laboratory and esteemed faculty will certainly do good to you in more ways than you can ever imagine. That’s the kind of right exposure you are looking at.

Moreover, this department at IIIT Allahabad is being funded by MHRD, thus having a lot of helpful and positive influence from the big academic and administrative circles from all over the country. A number of international conferences sponsored by IEEE are held here regularly. A DST funded summer school of robotics is also a part of this institute. IIIT Allahabad is known to have multiple MOUs with various popular foreign universities and has extensive student exchange programs to give the best exposure of the industry and experts to its students.

What is better, NIT Jaipur for CSE or IIIT Allahabad for IT?

MA
Mukesh Arora Posted On : July 15th, 2021
Studied at Indian Institute of Information Technology and Management, Gwalior (2020)

One of my friends graduated from IIIT Allahabad and he completed his CSE from the institute. He joined IIIT Allahabad on the recommendations of some of his professors from school.

In his opinion, IIIT Allahabad lives up to its reputation and is a very good place for placements. In addition to that, the institute is also popular for its coding culture, the network of alumni, research, etc.

As far as reputation goes, NIT Jaipur is also a renowned institute in terms of the points mentioned above but despite that, it falls behind IIIT Allahabad. The latter is famous for having very good information technology (IT). Both NIT Jaipur and IIIT Allahabad have more or less a good record of placements and infrastructure.

However, if you want to make something of yourself in the field of IT, then you cannot go wrong with IIIT Allahabad.

Which one should I choose, IIIT Allahabad (IT), MNIT Allahabad (IT), NIT Bhopal (CSE), or NIT Jalandhar (CSE)?

RR
Rohit Ranjan Posted On : April 9th, 2021
CSE at Indian Institute of Information Technology, Allahabad (2017-present)

IIIT Allahabad is better than MNIT Allahabad if you are interested in coding. Although NITs and IIIT Allahabad both are centrally funded technical institutes. The only difference is the course curriculum as IIIT Allahabad focuses only on IT and ECE. Due to this, minor subjects like Chemistry, Applied Mechanics, Engineering Drawing are dropped in 1st and 2nd semester itself. 

NITs have a long legacy making it more reputable with strong alumni across all domains. On the other hand, IIITA is a young institution and follows innovative academic policies. Its alumni members are even present in Silicon Valley in a short span of time.

You can decide your own priorities in the career. If you are interested in coding culture and look forward to great internships and placements with a small cozy campus, you should prefer IIIT Allahabad. You should opt for MNIT Allahabad if you are interested in meeting new people with diverse backgrounds. It will help you in enhancing your personality. 

If you ask me, my vote goes for IIIT Allahabad on all these below parameters.

  • College Life: IIIT Allahabad is an institute of national importance, and boasts one of the best campuses in the country. Whereas, MNNIT is not even on the edge.
  • Placements: 96% of the students got placed and received job offers from more than 120 companies. All major Computer Science companies like Google, Facebook, Amazon, and Adobe come to IIIT Allahabad's campus and make offers.

The following table shows the placement statistics of IIIT Allahabad:

Particulars

Amount

B.Tech

Highest CTC 

43 LPA

Average CTC

21.05 LPA

Median CTC

19.27 LPA

M.Tech

Highest CTC

35.55 LPA

Median CTC

12 LPA

Average CTC

14.45 LPA

IIIT Allahabad has placements in Google Mountain View/ Europe/ Australia/Japan from almost every Batch from the past 4-5 years. IIIT Allahabad was preferred by these companies because a lot of alumni already worked in these companies and better industry perception has been built up.

The strength in NIT-A is approximately twice as compared to IIIT-A. And every year this strength keeps increasing. As you know that the quality decreases with the increase in strength, I would again suggest you choose IIIT-A.
