Questions Asked On IIIT Kota, Kota

IIIT Kota is very new and is yet to make a mark with respect to IIIT Jabalpur. Whereas, with IIIT-Jabalpur the placements do keep varying. More or less, the placements are improving.

Academics:

• IIIT Jabalpur has a very sound academic curriculum owing to the fact that IIT Kanpur was its mentor.
• In IIIT Kota the curriculum is good but it hardly matters when you have teachers with hardly any knowledge.
• The interdisciplinary curriculum in IIIT Jabalpur makes the academic bit steadfast with the add-on of designing structure.
• Moreover, academic projects are floated in almost every important course.
• Hence, adding a skill set to the students.

So, to put it together, the academics are nice, but placements can be improved. Being from IIIT gives you a special charm. Also, being new IIITs, they will take some time to establish themselves and the education factor is quite decent when compared to tier-2 private engineering colleges. But, they still have a long way to go reach the bar set by NITs or IITs.

The top bracket companies pay really well, but these new IIITs won't be the first choice for these companies. The mid-range paying companies will flock to these new IIITs; so, you will get a decent package.

So overall, it is better to have something than nothing.

The first batch of IIT Kota graduated in 2017 and there were very few students, but still, placements were decent. It actually surprised everyone. One of my friends was a part of the first batch. 

Placement Statistics 2017: 

The institute only had CSE at first. Almost 60% of students got placed and the highest CTC was 26.5 lakhs/year. In the same year, Amazon selected 6 students from MNIT for internships. Out of those 6 students, 3 were IIITians. 

Placements Statistics of 2020-21:

Hope the statistics given above gave you an idea about the placement scenario at IIIT Kota.

IIIT Kota is a recent campus. The institute offers B.Tech only in two specializations: Computer Science Engineering (CSE) and Electronics & Communication Engineering (ECE). 

The below-mentioned points give a wholesome picture of life in IIIT Kota.

Education:

• The institute is similar to any other average institute. A few core teachers are decent who have been teaching for years. But most of them are young and inexperienced.
• Only 10% of the taught topics are applicable in real jobs and the rest 90% are outdated.
• The positive side of the curriculum is that the students are liberal to change their elective subjects by intimating the course coordinator.

Facilities:

• The fee for B.Tech is 9.24 Lakhs. The fee is in competition with any other private institute. It is beyond any government institute.

• Even the facilities are not parallel to the fee charged by the institute.
• The classrooms and labs are considerate.
• There is a lack of sports opportunities.
• The hostel facility especially for boys is pathetic. The internet is slow, mobile networks are poor, mess food is tasteless, and bathrooms are untidy. Some students prefer shifting to flats because of the same.
• There is no ragging and the seniors are helpful and approachable.

Placement & Internship:

• If you are aiming for the top companies in the market then the institute is not a perfect fit for you. The institute struggles to call companies to campus. So, there is no stability in terms of placement here.
• Even for the internships, only a few decent companies visit the campus. The highest stipend was offered at INR 1 Lakh.
• The placement figures are:

Considering the above information, one has to decide for oneself if the college is perfect for him or not.

I know a few things about LNMIIT since I have few friends there. It is a public-private non-profitable college, located in Rajasthan. From what I heard from my friends, I will not recommend choosing this institute. 

• The main problem of this institute is the administration. There have been many misconducts by the management, in recent years.
• Scoring marks in college is very hard as the teachers usually give D and F grades to their students which makes their GPA < 6 and hence making it difficult for them to sit in the placements.
• There is nothing like supplementary exams which is common practice in IITs and NITs.

If you want to build upon your career, don’t choose LNMIIT. Mostly, half of the batch fails in the exams.

Finally, life is tough at LNMIIT, so don’t go for it. Look for other options.

IIITM-Gwalior is the best choice to opt and if you are getting it, grab the opportunity. It is the oldest IIT of India with its own campus spread over 160+ acres and is totally funded by MHRD. The institute has a decent placement with the average package for M.Tech was around 10.5 LPA. In MBA, the highest was 15 LPA.

If you're not getting IIIT Gwalior, then the order should be as follows: IIIT Lucknow > IIIT Vadodara > IIIT Kota.

IIIT Lucknow was recently established and is making good progress and the placement records are good. If one has to choose between IIIT- Kota or IIIT- Vadodara or IIIT- Lucknow, choose IIIT-Lucknow any day!

IIIT Vadodara doesn’t own a permanent campus but it is known for its coding culture and the placement statistics are far better. Also, final-year students do get an opportunity for an internship to work in Amazon.

IIIT Kota is in the beautiful campus of MNIT, Jaipur spread in an area of 329 acres.

Want to have a fulfilling college life in the sense you want to enjoy being part of a college fest.

The factors which used for ordering the above institutes are:

• Year of the establishment.
• Placements records
• Whether to have permanent campuses or not
• Funding mode
• Connectivity with the neighboring cities

Hence, before opting for any college just ask yourself, in which field or stream you want to get into so that you don’t regret it later. As 4 years duration is not too little to give and graduating from a reputed college with good placement and tag plays a vital role in your upcoming future.
