What should I chose between IIT Mandi Electrical and IIIT Allahabad IT?

Both IIT Mandi and IIIT Allahabad are reputable institutions with strong programs in their respective fields. IIT Mandi offers an Electrical Engineering program, while IT Allahabad offers an Information Technology program. If you are interested in pursuing a career in electrical engineering, then IT Mandi would be the better choice. On the other hand, if you are more interested in information technology and computer science, then IT Allahabad would be the better choice. It is important to note that both programs are challenging and will require a significant amount of hard work and dedication. I recommend researching both institutions and their programs thoroughly before making a decision and considering your own interests and career goals.

I am the right person to answer your question because my brother is a student of IIIT Allahabad and is pursuing an IT dual degree while my elder setter is pursuing an EE at IIT Mandi. I can give you a better insight into the combined scenario as I have knowledge of both sides.
