It will be tough to secure admission at IIIT Allahabad with a 5,484 JEE Mains rank. IIIT Allahabad became quite popular among students for the coding culture. Due to this craze, the cutoff rank is decreasing each passing year. The required cutoff for the institute in recent years is given below. 

BTech Information Technology

388-1450

SC

687-1101

206-324

ST

122-440

Therefore, IIEST Shibpur is a better choice as it will give you many opportunities and give you a better experience.

IT from NSIT is the best option among these. 

  • The student crowd is brilliant. It has a small batch size compared to DTU. So, you will face less competition. 
  • NSIT has an amazing pool of faculties. You will get to learn from excellent faculty members like Sangeeta Sabharwal and MPS Bhatia. 
  • NSIT IT placements are better than DTU and IIIT D. DTU has a better placement record for core branches. While NSIT offers better placements opportunities to CS and IT students. In the recent placement drive, the average CTC for IT at NSIT was INR 6 LPA
  • Companies like Facebook, Google hire students from NSIT from their US offices.
  • Major consulting and non-tech companies like Bain, BCG, ZS Associates, etc. also visit the campus placements. 

IIIT Delhi has an excellent research culture and professors from top universities like Carnegie Mellon. So, if you are interested in research, you should choose IIIT D. Overall IT from NSIT is the best option in terms of academics and placements.

I was getting metallurgy in IIT Bhubaneswar and IT in IIIT Allahabad but I chose the latter. Was it a mistake ?

RB
Rajeev Batra Posted On : August 14th, 2020
Studied at International Institute of Information Technology, Bhubaneswar

You didn’t make a mistake as long as you are pursuing the branch that you are interested in. IIIT Allahabad is surely a good choice. The tag of IIT offers certain advantages but Metallurgy as a branch has less scope as far as placements are concerned. According to 2019 placement statistics, there was a 90% placement from Metallurgy at IIT Bhubaneswar.

Information technology offers more job roles and scope. According to last year’s placement statistics of IIIT Allahabad, there were a total of 95% placements from this institute with an average package of Rs.15.5 lakhs. The highest package is Rs.39 lakhs. More than 120 recruiters came for campus placement from different sectors ranging from software to healthcare.

Overall, if information technology is the path that you wanted to pursue as a career, then definitely you made the right choice.

How is IT at IIIT Vadodara?

IP
Isha Pandey Posted On : July 15th, 2021
Studied at Indian Institute of Information Technology and Management, Gwalior (2020)

One of my seniors was a student of IIIT Vadodara and he praised how academics were carried out in the institute. The faculty in the institute is highly qualified and has a lot of experience in the field they are teaching. They have PhDs from premier universities. IIIT Vadodara grants admission to applicants based on their applications.

IIIT Vadodara is popular because of its CSE and IT programs. In addition to that, the institute also offers courses in management and ones related to business which also attracts its fair share of applicants. However, if you want to study hardware and CS in theory, you will probably be disappointed.

The institute is currently in operation from the GEC campus which is Gandhinagar, Gujarat. IIIT Vadodara is very popular for its coding culture and has a reputation for recruiting companies like ICICI Bank, Mathworks, and Amazon.

Should I study IT from IIEST Shibpur or EC from SVNIT?

DB
Devlina Bose Posted On : July 5th, 2021
Studied Computer Science and Engineering at IIEST Shibpur (2019)

IT from IIEST Shibpur is a better choice than EC from SVNIT Surat. Both my classmates and I agree to the fact that IIEST Shibpur is a much better institute than SVNIT. The reasons for the same are given below –

  • It is a common observation that many of the EC engineering graduates eventually work as software engineers, which is not their core domain.
  • IT is very close to CSE in terms of coding and related works. You will definitely learn more in IT rather than EC even if you are interested in software.
  • If you want you can learn software development and coding on your own, then go for the EC branch of SVNIT.
  • But that will require a lot of effort, time management, and discipline.
  • IT at IIEST, Shibpur will also give a mental satisfaction that you are working in the same field as intended while in EC at SVNIT you will probably have to join a job that is not related to your core EC subjects.
  • Even if you are passionate about EC, the faculty in this department at SVNIT are not very good. They are too young for the job.
  • Of course, there will be seniors and various clubs to help you out but faculty are at the core of any teaching system.

If you are really interested in EC then choose SVNIT. But if you are interested in coding and that is the job you want, then definitely IIEST, Shibpur should be your primary choice.

What should I prefer, KJ Somaiya IT or CS from Thadomal Shahani?

RS
Rishabh Suman Posted On : June 1st, 2021
studied Computer Engineering at K. J. Somaiya College of Engineering

There isn't much of a difference between IT and CS, forget institutes individually where you would pursue them. Both CS and IT happen to consist of more or less the same subjects and the course pattern is also similar. There are only a handful of subjects that do not match when it comes to the subject courses of CS and IT and trust me, that isn't as important as it seems. 

Eventually, it is all about your choice of college. It is assumed that you have done some prior research beforehand on the institutes. A former student of this institute who I know would also suggest not giving too much importance to the branches either. 

Also, special mention to KJ Somaiya as along with the benefits of autonomy, you would be able to grab better placement opportunities for yourself at reputed companies with a handsome salary package. The top recruiters of the students of KJ Somaiya are Cognizant, PwC, Amazon, etc. Till now, 90% of students have been placed and the CTC was as high as 29.75 LPA and the average CTC stood at 9.4 LPA. Banking, Financial Services, IT are the sectors which recruited the most students.

The placement rate offered by the institute to its students is also fairly good and satisfying.

The coding environment provided by the institute is also very satisfying. Seniors at the institute add a lot to the coding club of the institute as well as to the open sources. This helps the institute’s students a lot. In the past few years, IIIT Bhubaneshwar has achieved a lot under its name.
