What should I choose, IIIT Kurnool or IIIT Sri City?

As both of these are IIITs, they will never fail in delivering quality education to their students. However, there are some aspects due to which IIIT Sri City has an edge over IIITDM Kurnool. Here’s why:

• IIIT Sri City already has its permanent campus ready which means you’ll have all the basic facilities on your own campus. It is well established and way ahead of IIITDM Kurnool.
• In IIIT Sri City you will have a location advantage due to its proximity to major cities like Hyderabad, Chennai, and Bangalore.
• You will be offered quite good placements at IIIT Sri City as two batches have already passed out and got offers from PayPal, MuSigma, etc. On the other hand, IIIT Kurnool lacks such a record.
• One of the major pros is that your mentor institute will be IIIT Hyderabad which doesn’t need any second thoughts. You might get certain benefits like their great curriculum, faculty, and placement assistance.
• Many pass-out students are pursuing their masters from reputed foreign institutes.

However, it doesn’t mean that IIITDM Kurnool is not at all a good option. The thing is that it still needs at least the next 5-10 years to produce great records and become a premier institute like the other IIITs. But for now, IIIT Sri City is the best choice for you.
