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.
The placement statistics of IIIT Allahabad and NIT Agartala is as follows:

Also, the infrastructure, faculties, placement, and location are also good at IIIT Allahabad. It is suggested you choose IIIT Allahabad over NIT Agartala.
Before deciding on any institute you should analyze it based on different parameters. Check if the college provides good facilities like hostels equipped with a good and stable internet connection, good food, satisfactory infrastructure, and the most important, a good campus placement drive. Both IIIT Allahabad and NIT Durgapur offer above-average facilities. Here is a brief outline of the institute.

If we look at the placement scenario closely, we can see that IIIT Allahabad has a better placement record and gets more companies. They also provide a higher package to their students. This does not make NIT Durgapur bad. Even NIT Durgapur provides good placements as well as opportunities for higher studies as well.
Both the colleges have a similar kind of course curriculum and nobody can force you to study.
It is not fair to compare the two universities because both of them are unique in themselves and have their charm. So, choose according to your convenience.
Both IIIT Allahabad and MNNIT Allahabad are excellent institutes, providing sufficient placements in the circuital branches of engineering. But, IIIT Allahabad has slight advantages over the other, considering certain parameters in branches, which are discussed below in the following points.
For M.Tech in CSE or IT, IIIT Allahabad is a better choice, provided the coding culture and placements in those branches at IIIT.
IIIT Lucknow and IIIT Allahabad are two different institutes altogether and there aren’t any options to change from one to the other after 1 year. So, no you cannot upgrade to IIIT Allahabad from IIIT Lucknow after 1 year.
IIIT Lucknow was established recently and it does not have its own campus ready in Lucknow yet. So it is using the IIIT Allahabad campus as its temporary campus. The students of IIIT Lucknow are thus treated equally in the same league as IIIT Allahabad. They share almost every facility but that does not mean you can change your college entirely after 1 year.
One of my friends stayed at the IIIT Allahabad Hostel and according to him here are the things that you should take with you to the IIIT Allahabad hostel.
This is not just for freshers entering IIIT Allahabad Hostel but for freshers entering hostels in general.
IIIT Allahabad and MNIT Jaipur are institutes of national importance. But if you like coding, it's not wise to search for options in ECE. ECE is a hardware-related program dealing with communication, whereas CS deals with software.
For the NIT tag, you can choose SVNIT. Among the IIITs, the best will be IIIT Bangalore ad it provides the best research opportunities. But, the best choice as per your interest is B.Tech Hons. Computational Sciences from DA-IICT.
The reasons are below.
The fee and placement of DA-IICT are as follows.
Tuition Fee |
7.28 Lakhs |
Average Package |
10.16 LPA |
Highest Package |
39.3 LPA |
Overall, DA-IICT is worth joining for the CS program. It will reap excellent results.
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,
No. of Students Placed |
31 out of 58 |
Average CTC |
INR. 14 LPA |
Highest CTC |
INR 43.31 LPA |
Top Recruiters |

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.
During the XIMB interview, the overall dress code should always be formal, with a neat and clean dressing. You can follow these points for better understanding -
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.
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.
There are different departments for Robotics such as CSE/IT, ECE, and Mechanical. It is up to you in which branch you are willing to go to. If you like advanced robotics mechanism learning, its construction, etc, you have to decide first then only you can choose your desired branch.
I have one of my friends studying at MNNIT Allahabad so I will give you its robotics department review.
In the following table, you will get the basic information about IIIT Allahabad (IT) and MNNIT Allahabad CSE.
