Should I join the new IIITs like Surat, Nagpur, or Bhopal? They are being held in the NIT of their respective city and will enjoy all their facilities.

One of my friends attended IIIT Nagpur. I got to know a little bit about the institute through him. Established in 2016, IIIT Nagpur has a small campus of its own. It is situated far away from VNIT Nagpur. Classroom teaching is done on the campus only. 

Students only visit the NIT campus for lab works and practicals, that too mostly on weekends. So, if you choose IIIT Nagpur, you won’t be able to enjoy the facilities of NIT campus. 

Disadvantages of New IIITs:

Another thing that you should keep in mind is that there are many disadvantages of being in the first batch for any institute. 

• For most of the newly established IIITs, the placement average is around only 50%. Even if you get placement, the salary package will be somewhere around 3 LPA. 
• Even if you are getting the facilities of NIT, it’s not permanent. Pretty soon the IIIT campus will be sifted to a temporary campus which will lack proper infrastructure and resources.

So, do your research properly and choose the option that suits you best.
