There are several reasons for IT in IIIT Allahabad to gain popularity among students. The table below gives a brief level of comparison among IIIT Allahabad and three NITs, Nagpur, Bhopal, and Surat.

Particulars

IIIT Allahabad

NIT Nagpur

NIT Bhopal

NIT Surat

NIRF ’20 Ranking

103

27

65

54

Median Salary Offered (B.Tech)

Rs.12.9 LPA

Rs.6 LPA

Rs.6.5 LPA

Rs.6.7 LPA

Size of campus

100 Acres

216 Acres

650 Acres

251 Acres

Key Highlights:

  • There are a total of 180 seats in IT at IIIT Allahabad. This is 3 times the number of seats in CSE at NITs. So, there is a greater chance of getting selected for IT at IIIT Allahabad.
  • There are no state quota seats in IIIT Allahabad, which is a great benefit for students’ all-over India. Considering the fact that 90 seats are allotted to students in UP and the rest 90 is available for all other students, is a huge competition that may result in a much higher cut-off. This is not the case in IIIT Allahabad.
  • Mostly, students after 12th have little knowledge about good institutes or good branches in institutes. Surfing over the internet and selecting colleges with lower opening and closing ranks is done by maximum students. This results in students choosing lower graded NITs over IIIT Allahabad.

These factors establish the popularity of IIIT Allahabad, even when it has a higher cut-off for IT than CSE in some good NITs.

Which is best, IIIT Allahabad information tech or BIT Mesra ECE or IT?

AS
Aakash Sinha Posted On : March 9th, 2021
Studied at the Indian Institute of Information Technology, Allahabad.

IT In IIIT- Allahabad is a great choice. It is one of the best colleges in India for this field and branch. The course structure is amazing and polished and focuses more on topics related to IT. The course emphasizes practical applications. There are almost no courses that are out of the sphere of field.

The labs and infrastructure are one of a kind and the student culture in IT is very motivated. Most of the students start taking part in competitive programming right from the 1st or 2nd year. If you find coding really interesting and see it as a career, then you should definitely go for IIIT-Allahabad. The coding culture is awesome and people praise it a lot. You will love the college for its study environment. If you feel the passion and love for hardware-oriented work, you should definitely go for ECE.

Placements:

  • The placements for IT are really good. They have top IT companies or firms visiting the campus. 
  • Some of the top companies are Microsoft, Facebook, Adobe, Flipkart, Amazon, Directi, etc. offers a great package. 
  • 2020 batch received the highest package of 43 LPA and an average package of 20.83 LPA. 
  • The college’s reputation is growing significantly year by year.

Seeing the wonderful coding culture, the growing alumni base of brilliant minds, and therefore the previous records of placements from IIIT- Allahabad, there’s no lookout for any other college if you intend to be a part of this one.

Talking about the disadvantages, the campus doesn’t lie in the proximity area of any big city or town. The proximity to a metro city nearby is a huge problem. Though BIT Mesra has the same issue, hence I feel that both the colleges are even. A journey to Delhi by train takes a lot of time, probably a one-night trip.

Should I prefer IIIT Lucknow IT over IIIT Guwahati CS?

KS
Karuna Saini Posted On : March 12th, 2021
Studies at Indian Institute of Information Technology, Guwahati (2022)

Although IIIT Lucknow is an excellent institute in terms of placement and coding culture, IIIT Guwahati is not very far from the standards of IIIT Lucknow. There are several negative reviews about IIIT Guwahati over the internet and it is being falsely treated as inferior. 

The table below gives a brief level of comparison among the two institutes.

Particulars

IIIT Lucknow

IIIT Guwahati

Total Fees (B.Tech)

Rs. 9.81 Lakhs

Rs. 9.05 Lakhs

Highest Package offered

Rs. 43 LPA

Rs. 17 LPA

Median Package offered

Rs. 15 LPA

Rs. 6.5 LPA

JEE Main Cut off

14268

21601

JEE Advanced Cut off

10848

22823

Key Highlights:

  • Guwahati has very pleasant weather throughout the year, except for the humid month of August. Lucknow has an extreme type climate and so, this pleasance is lacking there. There is no problem of severe mosquitoes in Guwahati, but spiders and lights insects are often found.
  • It is true that IIIT Lucknow has excellent coding culture inside its campus, with participation in several competitions. But, there are false facts about IIIT Guwahati that it has no such culture, and these are purely misleading. 
  • There are some excellent professors in IIIT Guwahati. Going into some personal preferences by students, lecturers from some professors namely Soumi ma’am (CSE), Sumit sir (CSE), Mansoor sir (ECE), Arjun sir (Maths), etc are quite interesting. 
  • The attendance rule of 75-85% is not very strict to be followed in IIIT Guwahati.
  • Classrooms and laboratories in the academic building are well equipped with all necessary facilities and equipment and are air-conditioned too. Mostly, students are given single occupancy rooms, with attached toilets, which may be delayed due to the construction of a new hostel. 
  • Mess quality is a place of personal opinion and depends upon the type of food one likes. IIIT Guwahati serves both veg and non-veg food, in North and South-Indian cuisines. There is a little issue with the hygiene of the mess in IIIT Guwahati, which is usually the case in all hostels. 
  • Placements alone can never be the means of judgment for a batch of students, considering the fact that past records don’t matter that much in the future.

Therefore, both the institutes are good, with the presence of all necessary facilities and offerings. Reviewing an institute should not be manipulative and misleading.

AR
Aditi Roy Posted On : October 11th, 2023

NIT Kurukshetra IT is a much better choice than NIT Delhi CSE. IT is in fact a much better branch these days considering the syllabus of both branches.

  • NIT Kurukshetra B.Tech ranking by NIRF is 58 out of 200 colleges in India in 2023.
  • NIT Kurukshetra is as old as NIT Delhi so its infrastructure, alumni network, and brand name are at par with NIT Delhi.
  • NIT Kurukshetra has air-conditioned classrooms, and well-maintained hostels and is located remotely in a serene area whereas NIT Delhi, is nowhere located near the city of Delhi.

NIT Kurukshetra IT placements have been mentioned below:

How good is the B.Tech information technology course at the Manipal Institute of Technology?

AG
Alka Gupta Posted On : September 9th, 2023
Studied at Manipal Institute Of Technology

MIT Manipal BTech Information Technology is decently structured covering concepts related to software, hardware, and networking as well. Although the degree offered is that B.E in IT, the department is called Information and Communication Technology so students have to also study communication courses straight from students of the ECE branch.

I will advise you to take up this course only if you are interested in computers and related stuff because the concepts taught are tough and unless you have an interest in the field you won’t be able to cope with the rigorous curriculum. Here are some additional points you would like to know about the branch

  • Every semester has 5 subjects and 3 labs. The labs carry two credits, unlike other branches where they have 2 labs of 1 credit. So practicals are given a lot of importance.
  •  A good variety of electives are offered making the curriculum flexible. 
  • You will have to learn to code if you opt for this branch. 
  • The IT branch has 5 subjects only so they can go home earlier than other students and the end-semesters get over two days earlier. 
  • There are evaluations every fortnight in the labs, lab sessionals, and quizzes for internals for theory subjects and labs as well which other branches don't. 
  • The placement scenario is great because of the immense demand of this branch.

Overall, this branch will fetch you enough opportunities if you are genuinely passionate about it.

Which one is better for CSE: Jaypee Institute of Information Technology or NIT Hamirpur?

AB
Aditi Banerjee Posted On : September 14th, 2023
Lives in Bangalore

There are several factors which one can consider while comparing two institutions. Here are some things that I considered while choosing my college.

NIT Hamirpur will offer you the prestigious ‘NIT’ tag. As compared to other colleges in this region, the environment over there is superior. By environment I mean the learning, interaction and personal development offered at an institution. The placements are continuously improving with new companies visiting the campus each year, offering better packages. This college has shown positive growth in terms of exposure and student- teacher interaction as well.

Even though I’m a student of NIT Hamirpur, my opinion is devoid of such biases. Thus, according to me, NIT Hamirpur is a better choice for your CSE program.
