If you're trying to decide between IIIT Hyderabad and IIIT Allahabad, there are several factors to consider.

Firstly, IIIT Hyderabad is generally considered to be a better institution than IIIT Allahabad.

I am planning to join IIIT-Allahabad for an MS in cyber laws and security. What are the pros and cons of that decision?

MK
Mohan Kumar Posted On : February 26th, 2021
Studied at Indian Institute of Information Technology, Allahabad

There are several factors both supporting and opposing while joining IIIT Allahabad for MS in Cyberlaw and Security. There is no provision of admission in the Cyber Law and Security course, but you will be admitted as a master’s student. You will be given a chance to choose among several courses, for example, Robotics, Human-Computer Interaction, Software, etc. 

The points below discuss some of the important factors regarding the course and its outcomes.

  • Priority is given to students with higher CGPA in the 1st semester.
  • It is advised that you should choose IIIT if placements are your only preference. Research facilities and faculty are lacking for this course at IIIT-A.
  • There are famous professors like S.Venkat who are one of the most involved faculty but without a Ph.D. Another faculty, Dr. Maity is capable enough of guidance in research but there are rumors that he might leave the institute.
  • If you are dedicated enough then you can publish your own research paper in journals, even before completion of the degree. 
  • Most of the students are just up for placements and you will find a less number of interested students in research.
  • The placement is excellent for MS students in these subjects, even better than expected. There are students with very little programming knowledge but having a 15+ LPA job in hand. Even 20+ LPA offers are in good numbers.

Therefore, the main aspect that matters is the effort the candidate can devote. Overall, placements are amazing for MS students, but genuine research-interested candidates have a little scope in IIIT-A.

How good are IIIT Bangalore and Allahabad compared to IIIT Hyderabad?

PP
Pratik Parikh Posted On : March 21st, 2023
Lives in Bangalore

When it comes to IIITs, IIIT Hyderabad is by far the BEST. IIIT Bangalore is good as well and has some good faculty, but it doesn't have the fire brand in CS that IIIT Hyderabad does. If you're looking for an advantage, IIIT B is located in Bangalore, but then again, IIIT H is located in Hyderabad, so it's not as good as IIIT H.

IIIT D and IIIT A are both government-run and have a 50% reservation. This puts them behind the above mentioned colleges. IIIT D has better faculty and is located in Delhi, which gives it a certain location advantage. However, IIIT A is an older institute. Both places are filled with Delhiwalas and UP bhai log, which doesn't help them either.

If you're a North Indian, you might like IIIT A/D more than IIIT B, and vice versa. However, almost all Indians like Hyderabad as a city. The majority of people in Hyderabad are friendly and know Hindi, so North Indians find it easier to adjust. At the same time, Hyderabad people are not language chauvinists like other South Indians (read Tamilians and Kannadigas), so that also helps. Plus, if you're a South Indian, you will easily adjust to Hyderabad since it still has a Southern Vibe to it.

In short, IIIT H is the best among the above depending on faculty/location/college life and the general atmosphere. If you're not getting IIIT H, you could try for the Top NITs (only Trichy, Warangal, and Surathkal) and then your famous state colleges like NSIT/DTU for Delhiites, Anna for Tamilians, Jadavpur for Bengalis, COEP for Marathis, etc., JNTU, etc.

Comparison: (Winning Institution - IIIT Allahabad)

  • Considering the recent placement data, MANIT Bhopal (NIT Bhopal) is a better institute than IIIT Allahabad. In MANIT Bhopal, a maximum salary of about ?40 Lakhs per annum is offered to students in Computer Science and Engineering.
  • The NIT brand fame has a higher glory than the IIIT fame among relevant industries that offer placement opportunities.
  • People often get confused as IIIT Allahabad has a lower opening and closing rank in comparison to MANIT Bhopal IT. But it is because of the location advantage. Most students from UP and neighboring states prefer Allahabad over Bhopal. So, this has no relation with the quality of the institutes or opportunities provided by them.

So, considering the placement scenario and opportunities in both the institutes, it can be concluded that NIT Bhopal (MANIT) is a much better institute than IIIT Allahabad.

I scored 359 in BITS this year and have a Mains rank just above 4k.Should I opt for IIIT Allahabad IT or BITS hyd/Goa CSE?

DA
Divya Arora Posted On : September 7th, 2022
Studied at BITS Pilani, Hyderabad Campus (Graduated 2022)

You should choose BITS Hyderabad/Goa. BITS Goa CSE is considered to be on the same level as the Pilani campus. The Hyderabad campus has made some radical improvements over the last few years, as well. Due to the presence of Hyderabad IT hub, the placement and career opportunities available are ample. 

BITS offers a lot of freedom to students. Their no-attendance rule and the flexible course structure allow students to explore and take different courses according to their interests. You can leverage these benefits to shape your career, the way you want. 

BITS placements are comparable to old IITs. Almost all major recruiting companies that visit IITs, visit BITS as well.

Which is better: IT at IIIT Allahabad or Biotechnology at IIT Kharagpur? (Considering no special inclination)?

AD
Ajay Diwan Posted On : March 27th, 2023
Studied at IIT Kharagpur

I would any day recommend you to join IIT Kharagpur as it is the oldest IIT and well established today. Here are some strong points that might convince you to join IIT Kharagpur:

  • Irrespective of the branch you choose, you will get similar exposure and campus life as everyone else. 
  • You can easily crack noncore companies offering excellent packages given that you have a good CGPA
  • The extensive alumni pool comes to your rescue at some point in your life.
  • It is specifically a good choice for those who aren’t inclined towards a specific branch as they can explore various fields and get maximum opportunities.
  • The IIT tag is enough for a brand name that will help you outside the country for higher education
  • People consider you geniuses just after knowing about your IIT background and you are expected to excel everywhere 
  • It’s not an overstatement to say that IIT has the best peer group among other Engineering colleges.
  • There is a certain type of bias that makes IITs a much-preferred candidate for the best job profiles.
  • Lastly, the Biotech department at IIT has excellent professors, great research opportunities and a few foreign internships offers as well. 

Except for CS and ECE, all the other branches get similar treatments during the open to all placements of IIT KGP.
