IIIT Bhubaneswar comes under the listing of IIIT institutes of India. All institutes listed under IIT are funded as well as established by the government of India but this is not the case for institutes listed under IIIT. They are semi funded by the government and the other half is funded by private companies and firms.

When it comes down to comparing institutes based on the education offered by them, the quality of education offered by IITs is way ahead of those of NITs. The faculty of IIT is much more qualified and experienced than the faculty of NIT or IIIT. The approach of education and teaching methods used in IITs is way more effective as well. This doesn’t mean that the education offered at NIT is not good, both NIT and IIT are extremely good in providing education and producing good students but IIT still has an upper hand due to its high standard of studies. In this case, institutes listed under IIIT are the ones that lag behind all NITs and IITs.

IIIT Bhubaneswar, as an academic institute, offers a very student-friendly environment to its students. The coding environment of the institute is also very good and up to date. The placement rate offered by the institute lies between 90 to 100 percent. Though, students seeking admission in IIIT Bhubaneswar should reconsider their financial position as the fees demanded by this institute is quite high.

LNMIIT

• LNMIIT was founded in 2002 which means it is a bit old and has a stronger alumni base.

• It is a university and a joint venture of Govt. Of Rajasthan and LNM Foundation.

• The total fees for B.Tech Computer Science is around INR 6.5 lakhs.

• The overall average salary was around INR 10.43 lakhs while the highest was around INR 36 lakhs per annum for previous years.

• Top companies to recruit the students were Amazon, Samsung, OYO, IBM, and many more.

IIIT Bhubaneswar

• IIIT Bhubaneswar was founded a little later in the year 2005.

• It is a Government University.

• The total fees for B.Tech CS are INR 8.31 lakhs.

• The highest package offered was in the range of INR 8-10 lakhs per annum, while the average CTC was around INR 5 lakhs per annum as per the year 2019.

• Top companies to visit the campus were Dell, TCS, Infosys, IBM, Mindtree to name a few.

• The cut off for first-round for admissions in B.Tech CSE ranges from 7140-15315.

Given the above stated facts, LNMIIT is better for CS. However, the final decision rests upon you.

You should not make a decision based on the placement records of any institute. It should come last on the criteria list. It is a known fact that no college can guarantee you placement. Your decision should be based on your ultimate aim. If coding is your thing, go for IT, ECE, CS, or if you feel that you might someday work at PSUs, go for the core branch. 

Comparative Analysis

• Once you decide on a college and realize that core is your thing, you can study ESE and prepare for GATE at BIT Sindri. 
• It would be wrong to state that it doesn't provide an authentic code environment. But it doesn't match the level of IIIT Bhubaneswar. 
• I have friends who study CS and IT there. They have told me that labs are not good and the college is devoid of a wifi connection too.
• Talk about IIIT Bhubaneswar or BIT Sindri, both the institutes fall under the State Government. 
• Plus, getting into IIIT Bhubaneswar can push you to witness national-level competition as you'd be required to crack the JEE Mains to get into it. 
• The quality of the faculty has become better, hostels are providing better facilities and the old buildings have been renovated into new hostels. 

The following table shows the placement statistics of both institutions:

You should choose the college that provides more and better opportunities so that it becomes easy for you ahead. BIT Sindri has improved its placement opportunities over the years, however, if you want an IIT tag, then choose IIIT Bhubaneswar.
