What is the reason that people with great ranks ignore IIIT Allahabad despite its great placements and coding culture?

The primary reason why people with great ranks ignore IIIT Allahabad f despite its great placements and coding culture is the lack of knowledge. When my brother got into IIIT Allahabad our relatives asked him if he was unable to make it to Noida or Ghaziabad colleges due to low rank. Many even did not know the name of the college and asked if it was private or government. This is exactly why a majority of the student crowd chooses a college based on people's opinions. 

Another reason why people don’t know about IIIT Allahabad is that it offers B. Tech. (IT) and not B. Tech. (CS). There is a preconceived notion that CS is the main branch while IT is the sub-branch. 

Also, IIIT Allahabad does not have a good ranking which students consider while choosing their college. So without even enquiring about the college, people automatically ignore IIIT Allahabad. Only if someone has a relative or friend at IIIT Allahabad can they know the real scenario at IIIT Allahabad. If you   a genuine interest in the IT field, choose IIIT Allahabad and you won’t ever regret your decision.
