The answer may seem a little bit biased, but everything written in the following is my friend's personal experience.
He was in the batch of 2018 in the CS Department. His JEE Main rank was 28 (AIR), and he selected this institute as there were no other options like IITs or top NITs.
It was completely unbelievable to him as the institute was recently established. Within just 2 years, it became so developed; however, everything happened due to NIT Jamshedpur's mentorship.
This institute did not have any discrimination; rather, you will get the opportunity to sit in the NIT Jamshedpur placement process. It is no doubt a great prospect for the students of this institute.
There was a break up for IIIT, and within the next 2 years, as my friend told me, it might become low.
Additionally, this institute's official strength is approximately 120-180, which considers the best for this new institute. It is also a great achievement for this institute.
IIIT Ranchi is a fairly new institute. It had the first placement drive in 2020. Since it is under the supervision of NIT Jamshedpur, the placements have been quite good. Also, it is a PPP mode type institute. Three companies are associated with the institute, i.e. TataMotors, TCS, and CCL.

No matter how much the infrastructure lacks, the students get rewarded in the future if they work hard. Currently, IIIT Ranchi and Thapar may have better infrastructure or even placement records, but NIT Uttarakhand is improving with time and will definitely improve a lot in coming years.
IIIT Ranchi is a sort of independent now, and the institute has developed a fantastic coding culture. From open source to competitive coding, the environment is one of the best in Jharkhand, despite the fact that Jharkhand lacks many top-tier institutes. The institute is very flexible in terms of how education should be delivered.
You can hone your coding skills and find a good job here. Even during the pandemic, a student received more than a 20 LPA package in campus placement, which will undoubtedly improve over their tenure.
Out of the 103 students who participated in the IIIT Ranchi placements 2021, more than 50 were placed. Furthermore, during the 2021 placement drive, the highest and average packages offered were INR 20 LPA and INR 7.2 LPA, respectively. 34 students from the CSE branch were placed out of the total number of students placed. Leading companies such as Capgemini, Cognizant, Comm Vault Systems, Deloitte, HCL, Infosys, and TCS were among the top recruiters of IIIT Ranchi in 2021.
Now that the problems have been resolved, the hostels are reassuring. There are well-furnished flats, better than those found in any government institute. So, if you're willing to join us here, you will not be disappointed.
As of now, it is uncertain, when IIIT Ranchi will get its new campus. As per the local reports, the land on which the new campus was supposed to be constructed is under dispute due to which, the new campus of IIIT Ranchi is not going to be set up in the upcoming 5 years. All this work of sorting the dispute is under the government and all might take some time.
If you’ll look into the scenario, you’ll get to know that the IIIT Kota has still not got its campus. Therefore, chances are quite low that IIIT Ranchi is getting its new campus soon in the near future. In fact, if the disputes get cleared, then also there are certain permissions, and tenders need to process for equipment and mess and all which is another time taking procedure that may take 1-2 years more.
If you are looking forward to taking admission to IIIT Ranchi, you do not need to worry because you will complete your graduation under the mentor institute of IIIT Ranchi i.e. NIT Jamshedpur. You will be able to enjoy all the facilities offered by NIT Jamshedpur. Including its placements and degree.
I know some of the people from both institutes. Based on what I heard from them, IIIT Bhopal is better than IIIT Ranchi.
A few of the reasons to choose IIIT Bhopal are as follows.
You can also check the latest ranking of the institute to compare. The final decision is yours.
IIIT Ranchi is one of the most-recent IIIT in India. It has a brand name. So, the reputation of the college will steadily grow as the year passes.
It has a parent institute known as NIT Jamshedpur. NIT Jamshedpur is a good institute. So, it can be expected that IIIT Ranchi will follow in the footsteps. IIIT Ranchi already has similar facilities like NIT Jamshedpur.
There are two types of IIITs.
IIIT Ranchi is a centrally-funded institute. It has the potential to surpass the barriers of CFTI that has some benefits of its own. As it is an IIIT, the crowd of the college is also decent.
Consider joining IIIT Ranchi, only if your JEE mains ranking is around 30-50K and you are not left with any other better options. It's a fairly new college and only had one placement session.
As of now they do not have a permanent campus and are operating from their interim campus located in Ranchi. Construction of a permanent campus is going on and it will take a few more years to be under active enforcement. Till then you will stay and study in the NIT Jamshedpur campus and will be provided all their facilities.
