You can ask IIIT Pune students about their experience and then can decide whether it would be a good choice for you or not. However, it is advisable to choose other reputable colleges that have strong alumni and good placement records. It has an ‘INI’ tag and after a few years maybe it comes to one of the top Engineering colleges.
Therefore, if you have not scored well in JEE then you can opt for IIIT Pune. As Pune is an IT hub, you can expect job opportunities thereafter completing your studies.
IIIT Sri City is the best option among these. It has a better placement record. Also, the resources and the facilities offered for research are the best at IIIT Sri City among these four institutes.
Over the last few years, the institute has maintained an impressive placement record. According to IIIT Sri City placement highlights of 2021, the average and highest CTC offered were INR 12.02 LPA and INR 43 LPA. Companies such as Microsoft, Amazon, L&T Infotech, etc. took part in the placement drive.
The condition of hostels in IIIT Pune is quite good, compared to most top institutes in the country. There are several reviews about IIIT Pune hostels, Wi-Fi accessibility, and sports opportunities on campus, and some of them are listed below.
This is the overall overview of the campus life, hostels, and Wi-Fi facility on the campus of IIIT Pune, which is considered to be decent and satisfying.
Among the above two institutes, IIIT Pune is the definite choice, considering a number of factors including IT industry exposure, internal competition, and overall development in the institutes. I know a few people from both institutes, so I can give you an idea about them.
Location:(Winning Institution - IIIT Pune)
Student Intake:
IIIT Pune takes in a total of 120 students per year, 60 in CSE, and 60 in ECE. On the other hand, IIIT Sri City takes in 270 students per year, 200 students in CSE, and 70 in ECE. Therefore, it is evident that a lesser number of students will get better attention from professors, less internal competition, more opportunities, and a focused learning experience.
Mentor Institute:
IIIT Pune’s mentor institute (College of Engineering, Pune) is located in Pune itself, whereas IIIT Sri City’s mentor institute is IIIT Hyderabad, 608 km away from it. So it is easier for IIIT Pune students to attend mentor institute events, lectures, and facilities.
Extra-curricular:
Students from IIIT Pune have excelled in several sports events too, like IIT BHU’s Spardha. There are several Coding, Robotics, and technical events in which IIIT Pune students excel.
Future Development:
Considering all of the above factors, IIIT Pune is a definitely better choice, providing several opportunities to students in the industry and research fields.
Among the above two options, IIIT Pune is the better choice, without doubt, considering several reasons such as fee structure, overcrowding, and the IIIT tag. One of my friends goes there, so I know a bit about the institute.
The table below gives a brief level of the two institutes.

You should prefer COEP IT. It is among the top engineering colleges in Pune. The institute offers better academics, faculties, and placements. Each year around 95% of students get placed in the IT branch. The recent highlights of COEP Pune placements show the average CTC for IT to be around INR 10-11 LPA. Barclays, Goldman Sachs, Amazon, etc. are some of the major recruiters for the IT branch.
The video below gives you an overview of COEP IT
So, it can be concluded that COEP IT is a better option than IIIT Pune CSE
IIITDM Jabalpur is a premiere technical institute. It was established by the MoE in 2005. It is among the oldest and the most well established IIITs.
The CSE department of IIITDM Jabalpur is better in comparison to the other colleges mentioned by you. This is evident in the preference of most students, as they give priority to IIITDM for their CSE over other IIITs.
The placements of the CSE department have been quite good over the past few years. Moreover, IIITDM Jabalpur has a tie up with Japan, and top performers from each branch get a chance to visit the country during winter break.
Thus, I would recommend you choose IIITDM Jabalpur for your CSE.
IIEST Shibpur offers a rich legacy and technical expertise, which makes it way superior as an institute when compared with IIIT Pune. But you need to decide whether you are interested in Mechanical or CS. Placement-wise too, IIEST Shibpur Mechanical is at par with other good engineering colleges in India.
As for placements, IIEST Mechanical is a better choice. But if you are planning for a post graduation after B.Tech, CS is a better branch for you. You must secure a rank of 250 or less, and get into top IITs for your M.Tech CS. Doing so will be beneficial for your career, and you can expect job offers from top brands like Google and Directi after your M.Tech.
On the other hand, an M.Tech in core branches like Mechanical won’t be as beneficial for your career. IIEST will offer you top notch faculties, and make your journey toward an MS/Phd. much easier, if you are planning for these degrees.
Based on what your future goals are, you can choose either of these two colleges/branches. But as a fact, core CS jobs are much better paying than core Mechanical ones.
Pursuing CSE from IIIT Pune will be a better option between DTU/NSUT EE and IIIT Pune CS.
Most of the students who complete B.Tech from non-technical streams get jobs in the IT sector. So it is better that you choose the stream in which you want to make a career. If you want to make your career in the Tech field then CSE from IIIT Pune will be a good option provided you have not planned to pursue EE yet. You can also pursue B.Tech in EE as there are lots of opportunities in it.
DTU, NSUT, and IIIT Pune are good institutes and have good placement records. You will surely get to learn a lot in either of the institutes and have fun 4 years at university. But if you want to land into a good company with a good package then you have to work hard and gain skills. Here is a brief overview of the recent placement statistics for the institutes.
