There are several reasons for IT in IIIT Allahabad to gain popularity among students. The table below gives a brief level of comparison among IIIT Allahabad and three NITs, Nagpur, Bhopal, and Surat.

Key Highlights:

• There are a total of 180 seats in IT at IIIT Allahabad. This is 3 times the number of seats in CSE at NITs. So, there is a greater chance of getting selected for IT at IIIT Allahabad.
• There are no state quota seats in IIIT Allahabad, which is a great benefit for students’ all-over India. Considering the fact that 90 seats are allotted to students in UP and the rest 90 is available for all other students, is a huge competition that may result in a much higher cut-off. This is not the case in IIIT Allahabad.
• Mostly, students after 12th have little knowledge about good institutes or good branches in institutes. Surfing over the internet and selecting colleges with lower opening and closing ranks is done by maximum students. This results in students choosing lower graded NITs over IIIT Allahabad.

These factors establish the popularity of IIIT Allahabad, even when it has a higher cut-off for IT than CSE in some good NITs.
