Decide a branch that you prefer, after that go through the colleges of that particular branch. Pay attention to the college’s overall performance, placements, faculties, location, etc. as they are the major factors.

• If you are inclined towards the IT sector and love coding then you should definitely choose IT. It will help you gain multiple opportunities in your career in the private sector.
• If you are interested in building your career in the public sector, then the Chemical branch at IET Lucknow will be a better option.
• You will get enough time for the preparation for exams like GATE or even PSU.
• The Placement scenario at IET Lucknow for the Chemical branch is good. 64 students have been placed in the year 2020.
• The Placement scenario in BIET for IT is average. Few good companies visit the campus for placement for IT.

The scenarios may change in the coming future. It is important to talk to recently passed out students of these colleges to know the current scenarios before making the decision.

The answer to this question lies in the option between the choice of branch and college, and which one you will give preference to.

• You should first know where your interest lies and which branch is your preference.
• Choosing a branch is more important than choosing a college.
• This is a very important aspect as you will be learning that subject for the next four years and your career will depend on it.
• Once you are clear about the interest, you do not have to compare colleges.

The interest of students is very important as they should not regret it later. Their choice will shape their career in the future.

One of my friends is a local of Jharkhand. He was eligible to get into all departments and ECE at NIT Jamshedpur except CSE, and he got into the same situation where he had to choose between IT at IIEST Shibpur and ECE at NIT Jamshedpur.

He chose IT at IIEST Shibpur and was satisfied with his decision. IIEST has a good campus which is given the INI tag, their seniors are also very good who motivate their juniors.

In the following table, you will get information on IT at IIEST Shibpur and ECE at NIT Jamshedpur.

Completed with a good campus, great seniors, and recently been given the INI tag, it has the energy and enthusiasm to excel and the Director of IIEST is a great person. He works hard to improve the place.

Many of my friends study at NIT Jamshedpur. It has a good infrastructure but not in better condition. Newly constructed hostels at NIT are also good. But officials of NIT are not promising.

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

BIET Jhansi is a government college whereas JSS Noida is a private college. I have heard a lot about JSS Noida as my brother graduated from this college last year. JSS being a private college charges a higher amount than BIET.

Both of the colleges are good enough to take admission but let’s compare it with a few factors.

1. The infrastructure of BIET isn’t up to the mark whereas JSS Noida is well-maintained and has a beautiful campus that includes greenery as well.
2. The hostel services and the premises of BIET are cheaper and aren’t well-furnished.
3. As Jhansi is in Bundelkhand and it is a small city, BIET doesn’t provide good facilities because of its location.
4. On the contrary, the students of JSS Noida have the access to prepare for any other competitive exams like CAT, UPSC, GATE, CSE, ESE, GMAT/GRE and many more.
5. Noida is near Ghaziabad, which is the NCT of Delhi and many coaching institutes run in Ghaziabad.
6. This fortunate opportunity isn’t available for the students of Jhansi.

Moreover, the facilities of JSS Noida are better than BIET Jhansi. So it is suggested that you go for JSS Noida over BIET Jhansi.

You should go with IIITs in any case as they are the better choice. You will be studying with some of the top students in the country who have managed to secure a rank under 35000. You will be exposed to a great study atmosphere and competition.

You cannot get this sort of exposure in local private colleges (with some exceptions) where several students get admission through management quota. Most of them are also from rich and well-to-do families who are just looking to secure a degree.

To be honest, you cannot compare an institute of national importance with a state-level private college. You should not underestimate the academics of colleges due to the absence of a permanent campus or infrastructure.

A lot of the students from these colleges have a really good caliber and the potential to gain international recognition without the support of the college administration.

Since my friend is an alumnus of IIIT Allahabad, she will be well suited to talk about the faculty of the institute.

All the teaching staff of IIIT Allahabad is Ph.D. holders from institutes that are reputed, for example, IIT Bombay, IIT Kharagpur, IIT Kanpur, etc. Some of them have received their Ph.D. from institutes like the University of Reading, UK. So it goes without saying that the faculty members have expertise in their respective areas of teaching.

The teaching style of the faculty is the same as that of other institutes like the IITs and/or IISc. They teach during the class. If you have doubts, you can ask the faculty and they will be very happy to resolve the same. They are very supportive.

Don’t make faculty a major deciding factor for choosing an institute. Both IIIT Allahabad and MNNIT are reputed institutes in the field of IT.

IIEST Shibpur is one of the oldest engineering colleges in India. As it is one of the most wanted engineering colleges, the closing rank for IIEST is expected to be quite steep.

For B.Tech Information Technology, the recent cutoff for outside and home state students at IIEST were as follows.

• Home State - 11084 - 13249
• Outer State - 9524 - 17031

This is for the general category students. So, there’s a thin chance that you will get admission at IIEST IT.

However, you should not lose hope as the stats may change after every round. For more details regarding cutoff, you can visit their official website.
