Why do you want to opt for engineering? Is it because you enjoy Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics? If that’s the reason, then there are two possibilities for you.
Joining IIIT Sri City for CSE-
Joining Chemical Engineering at MANIT Bhopal-
If you have no particular inclination, then choosing CSE may be better. As it has two domains, i.e. coding and non-coding. Plus, the internet is full of great ebooks and tutorials to teach you.
Well, I have friends studying in various IIITs across the country and according to their experience, IIIT Sri City is indeed a good choice. While there is no specific reason to choose it above other IIITs, here are some insights you need to know.
Overall, IIIT Sri City is the fastest-growing new IIIT as compared to other newly established ones. In terms of location, administration, and placements, this prime institute is bound to reach new heights in the coming years.
My cousin studied at IIT Sri City and he had a hostel room for himself. The hostel life seemed to be very dull and uneventful however the facilities were on point.
Even though the rooms are not fully furnished, each student will still be given a table and a chair to study.
In IIIT Sri City, an OBC candidate from Andhra Pradesh with a 96.5 percentile score has some chances of getting a seat in Computer Science, which depends on certain factors.
In recent years, the closing rank for OBC candidates was 41400 for Computer Science. A candidate having a 96.5 percentile score is expected to have a general merit rank of about 40,000. So, you may get selected for admission with a 96.5 percentile
However, the OBC rank equivalent to general merit rank changes every year, depending upon the number of students applied from the same category.
IIIT Sri City is considered among the 91 institutions that are declared ‘Institute of National Importance’ by MHRD. Every year 70% of students are placed in top companies. More than 70 companies participated in the recruitment drive.
NIT Andhra Pradesh is a comparatively newer establishment and the permanent campus is located at Tadepalligudem town. It has a faculty strength of 92 members. The total student intake across all departments is 480.

CSE involves the concepts of computer programming and networking, programming languages, computer software and hardware and much more. Students graduating with CSE can work as system database administrator, computer programer, engineering support specialist, data warehouse analyst, system designer, software developer, software engineer, lecturer or professor, computer operator and research analyst. Both colleges will be a good option to study CSE.
My friend is a pass out from IIIT Sri City and was placed at a well-reputed company. According to his experience, the secret to their great placement record is their curriculum.
As we all know that IIIT Hyderabad is the mentor institute of IIIT Sri City, it gets excellent faculty and placement assistance. The curriculum is totally different compared to NITs and IITs, so you will have a year of advantage over others because in IIITs there is no PCM in the first year.
You will be taught core subjects in depth from the first year itself, unlike regular B.Tech. This is a major plus point that helps train you enough for the placements later. Currently, the average package at IIIT Sri City is about 8–9 LPA and the highest is 24 LPA.
You might also get offered semester-long internships out of India in which you will get paid too.
Here is a list of some companies who recruit at IIIT Sri City:
However, the placement package and company also depend on your skills and capabilities. So, you will need to strictly adhere to their curriculum to climb the ladder of success. Also, in case you miss the campus placements, the rigorous curriculum and training will make you capable of getting any good-paying job outside the campus.
Here is the best preference order you can refer to while choosing one IIIT from the long list you mentioned. I have considered all parameters including placements, coding culture, research, infrastructure, alumni, etc
If you are genuinely interested in coding or CSE, the best options for you would be IIIT Hyderabad, Allahabad, Bangalore, and Delhi. You can consider the top NITs as excellent options too. These 4 IIITs are the only IIITs that are better than NITs in terms of research, curriculum, and holistic development.
IIIT Lucknow, although a new IIIT, has established its name among the top IIITs. Its high ranking is because of its excellent coding culture and thus many product companies visit it. These 4 IIITs have their own campus too and charge high fees because of the top-notch faculty and research resources they offer.
All the remaining IIITs are in the development stage and should not be given consideration. It’s better to choose the top 7 or 8 NITs than these developing IIITs.
Well, the student can visit the official website and get a look at the placement statistics.
With this, the student will understand that one of the third-year students from this institute got an internship in Cisco. This is more or less a dream for the students from the CS department. Besides, students here also have done an internship in different foreign countries.
From the above, the student may get an idea regarding the placement statistics. However, the best thing about this institute is that the companies that are visited here are mainly product-based companies, not service-based companies, but most of them are start-ups. So, if the students do not have an idea about the disparity of these, then it is better to go through the difference, and the student will understand why the placement statistics of this institute are just awesome.
The main consideration is that the companies that come here for recruitment are mostly start-ups.
