The most important aspect that a candidate needs to choose is the department or the stream of study. At the end that will matter most. If you are dedicated to the course, you will surely excel.

The table below gives a brief level of comparison among the specified branches of the different institutes.

In CE, there is more attention towards computer hardware in the syllabus, whereas in CSE, there is equal weightage of hardware and software in the syllabus. So, there is no genuine CE department in NIT Kurukshetra.
  • Though the comparison among institutes depends on personal interest, there are factors that are compared among the institutes to make an order of preference. This order of preference is as follows.
    ECE at IIIT Allahabad > ECE at NIT (Kurukshetra/ Surat/ Bhopal)

What is the highest package offered this year in IIIT, Allahabad?

AG
Aikantika Ghosh Posted On : March 26th, 2021
Studied at Indian Institute of Information Technology, Allahabad (2019)

Some of my friends studying at IIIT Allahabad mentioned that even though it is not a rule, there is still an unspoken pact that no one should disclose their placement details. At IIITA students are advised to not openly disclose their placement details which include the name of the company, the CTC and other important details about the job.

IIITA receives placement offers from a very diverse and significantly larger group of companies. The software and ITES sector have the highest volume of recruitment throughout these years. 

Since the institute hasn’t released the official placement statistics for the Final Placement of 2020, the following statistics have been observed until now:

Categories

IIIT Allahabad

Placement rate

96%

No. of Participating Companies

120

Highest CTC

INR 43 LPA

Average CTC

INR 20.83 LPA

Placements at IIIT are commendable as per the stats. If you have the talent and academic potential, you can secure a good placement offer from any reputed companies. A package of above 40 LPA is achievable if you are good in academics and if you can present yourself well during the placement interview.

What should be my AIR in JEE Mains to get a B.Tech in IT at IIIT Allahabad?

Pranjal Singhal Posted On : March 11th, 2021

It has been ranked among top 100 best engineering colleges in India by NIRF, 2020. So clearly getting into IIIT-A will be quite difficult. The latest statistics show that you must be ranked below 5K in IIT-JEE Main in order to get into B.Tech in IT if you fall under OBC category. This margin falls down to 400 if you belong to the general category. 

Detailed category wise closing ranks of previous year for B.Tech IT is given in the table below:

Category

Closing rank

General (female only)

7549

General (gender neutral)

4735

General PwD

351

OBC-NCL (female only)

4864

OBC-NCL (gender neutral)

2361

OBC-NCL (PWD)

632

SC (Female only)

3209

SC (gender neutral)

1585

ST (female only)

1816

ST (gender neutral)

1199

Looking at the general trends of the cut-off list of previous year, it is safer to score above 96-98% in your boards and fall under top 500 students in JEE Main.

What is the ragging scenario at IIIT-Allahabad?

AR
Aakash Roy Posted On : March 11th, 2021
Studied at Indian Institute of Information Technology, Allahabad (2018)

The students usually associate the ragging scenario displayed in the movie with real life. IIIT Allahabad has never usually faced ragging from the first year. If you respect your seniors and stay decent with them, there is not any need for ragging. Enjoying the interaction time between juniors-seniors is also important. 

Ragging Culture:

  • Seniors may ask to perform certain tasks to juniors like dancing and singing, but this is only for fun. There is a choice that you have to make here if you want to be ragged or not.
  • Nothing will be harming you mentally or physically.
  • Even if ragging practices are going on under the sheets, the college has an Anti-Ragging Committee. As per the records, fines are levied if some senior is caught involved in the ragging culture. The circular of 2009 by the institute states all the possible ways that will be termed as "ragging".

The institute has a good reputation. It is better to gel well with the seniors. They can help you with the placements and infrastructure. IIIT Allahabad is at par with the main campus. You can blindly include the name of the institute in the list of CSAB (Central Seat Allocation Board).

Which is better: IIIT Allahabad or BIT Mesra?

AS
Ankit Sahu Posted On : March 16th, 2021
IIIT Allahabad (2018)

A classic flaw in choosing colleges is that students don't take any of the factors into consideration that includes, including future goals, priorities, and interests.

IIIT Allahabad is specialized to offer only two branches, i.e. Information Technology and Electronic and Communications engineering.

On the other hand BIT, Mesra offers several other courses, only for Undergraduate Programmes.

Now you have to pick what you want and what your goals are before you choose one of them? Is it a career or a college? You should determine which college to attend after contemplating all this.

I know a few people from both the colleges, so I can give you an idea about the institutes. 

Comparison: (Winning Institution - IIIT Allahabad)

  • In general, IIIT Allahabad trumps BIT Mesra due to the high facilities and academic standards it provides. The IIIT Allahabad Alumni set high expectations in the industry and if that's what you want, the college has a comprehensive and consistent record of placement. The placement average of the institute is 100%.
  • The IT environment at IIIT Allahabad is also great. You will be amazed by the coding culture at the campus. 

Also, make sure that you look at Allahabad and Mesra as towns. In terms of fun and scenic appeal, Allahabad doesn't have anything to provide its students. 

In terms of placements, coding culture, IIIT Allahabad will be better in general.

Basic placement requirements you need to focus upon are as follows:

  2. To sit for the placements, you'll have to compete with the B.tech crowd. And everyone here is very studious and competitive, so it won’t be easy for you at all.
  3. Companies do not come to a particular branch (rarely happens, like 1 out of 80 companies)
  4. Recruiters don't care about your branch, they just want to know how qualified you are in the field of interest and coding.

For all the big firms, the skills you'll learn by following your stream will be applicable and act as an important factor in your selection process. So know your skills and capabilities in respective fields and then go for interviews.
