Should I opt for IIT Guwahati for biotech or MNNIT Allahabad for IT?

Both IIT Guwahati for Biotech and MNNIT Allahabad for IT are extremely different courses in terms of the scope they offer. 

Go for Biotechnology only if you are genuinely interested in it because core placements are miserable and there is a dearth of job opportunities. Most students get placed in Analytics and other non-core sectors and only a few manage to secure a core job. So go for this only if you want to pursue higher studies.

MNNIT Allahabad’s IT program offers excellent job opportunities but lacks in terms of research and exposure. The coding culture is very good here but the academics is poor. The placement scenario is great second only to CS placements. If you aren’t sure enough consider the following points before making the final choice 

• Infrastructure: IIT Guwahati has excellent infrastructure and a very beautiful campus in contrast to MNNIT Allahabad.
• Sports: MNNIT lacks sports facilities and No importance is given to extracurricular activities.
• Location: IIT Guwahati with its serene campus and location is a clear winner in contrast to MNNIT Allahabad’s pathetic climate and lack of places to explore.
• Fests: The quality of fests held at MNNIT is very low compared to fests organized by IIT Guwahati.

Concludingly, if you have a specific preference for research and higher education, go for IIT Guwahati else MNNIT Allahabad is the best option for you.
