Which is more prestigious and reputed, NIT Calicut or IIIT Allahabad?
After doing some research on the internet, I finally came to a conclusion that NIT Calicut is considered among the top 5 NITs and IIIT Allahabad is the best IIITs, that is IIITH and IIITB. Let me mention some facts that you should know about.
- If you are interested in pursuing IT-related branches, then IIIT Allahabad will be a good choice. They even offer an advanced curriculum.
- At NIT Calicut you will get non-circuit branches also like Civil, Mechanical Engineering, etc.
- NIT Calicut and IIIT Allahabad are Tier 3 and Tier 4 institutes respectively.
| Categories | NIT Calicut | IIIT Allahabad |
| Course Fee | 5.48 lakhs | 5.41 lakhs |
| Highest CTC | 24 LPA | 28 LPA |
| Average CTC | 8-10 LPA | 12 LPA |
| Recruiting Companies | Amazon, Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan, Tata Motors, etc. | Google, Amazon, Flipkart, Goldman Sachs, etc. |
According to the reviews online, I got to know that both are equally good institutes. You can opt to study in any of the institutes, as they are both prestigious and reputed institutes.
What is better, NIT Jaipur for CSE or IIIT Allahabad for IT?
One of my friends graduated from IIIT Allahabad and he completed his CSE from the institute. He joined IIIT Allahabad on the recommendations of some of his professors from school.
In his opinion, IIIT Allahabad lives up to its reputation and is a very good place for placements. In addition to that, the institute is also popular for its coding culture, the network of alumni, research, etc.
As far as reputation goes, NIT Jaipur is also a renowned institute in terms of the points mentioned above but despite that, it falls behind IIIT Allahabad. The latter is famous for having very good information technology (IT). Both NIT Jaipur and IIIT Allahabad have more or less a good record of placements and infrastructure.
However, if you want to make something of yourself in the field of IT, then you cannot go wrong with IIIT Allahabad.
Should I choose 5 years (I.T. + robotics) at IIIT Allahabad or 5 years CSE at IIEST Shibpur?
There’s no doubts about the fact that 5 years at IIITA is a smarter option compared to anything else. This is because of the simple calculation that you are going to study the same curriculum for 4 years BTech for 3 years. That is all about the core of CS and IT. One core and two electives are a part of the fourth year in a 4-year BTech program, which hardly makes any difference.
According to the experts, Robotics is the future of the IT industry and hence, finding yourself in the midst of such an academically enriching atmosphere which ensures a full time access to a premium robotics laboratory and esteemed faculty will certainly do good to you in more ways than you can ever imagine. That’s the kind of right exposure you are looking at.
Moreover, this department at IIIT Allahabad is being funded by MHRD, thus having a lot of helpful and positive influence from the big academic and administrative circles from all over the country. A number of international conferences sponsored by IEEE are held here regularly. A DST funded summer school of robotics is also a part of this institute. IIIT Allahabad is known to have multiple MOUs with various popular foreign universities and has extensive student exchange programs to give the best exposure of the industry and experts to its students.
Which is good in terms of placement, faculty, and campus, MNNIT IT or IIIT Allahabad IT?
Having knowing people from both MNNIT and IIIT Allahabad, I can say that both are good institutes in terms of placement, faculty, and campus. The name tag is also big and the coding culture in both the institutes is also good. Choosing the college is entirely your decision.
- If you want to make your career in the IT field then choose IIIT Allahabad. But if you are not sure whether you want to go into IT or some other field then choose MNNIT.
- The placement of both MNNIT and IIIT is good.
- The faculty of both are equally good.

What is better, ECE from IIIT Allahabad or electrical or mechanical from top NITs excluding NIT Trichy?
Well, your question is quite different as it is asking to compare all the three different specializations in Engineering.
When you come across such a situation where you have to decide between the branches, at first you must have some introductory knowledge about those branches and the job opportunities in the particular domain.
- Mechanical and Electrical Engineering are the core branches of engineering and have a greater demand in the public sector jobs than in ECE.
- Whereas on the other hand, there is certainly more hard work required to get these jobs.
- If you are looking for a decent IT or hardware-based job you can take up the ECE course offered at IIIT Allahabad.
- The coding culture available there is really good and you would surely enjoy it.
- But if you are not the person who is interested in programming or you find it difficult to make algorithms you can join Mechanical or Electrical.
Here I am briefly differentiation IIIT Allahabad and other NITs :

I would end by saying that ask yourself what do you want and examine your
Which one should I choose, IIIT Allahabad (IT), MNIT Allahabad (IT), NIT Bhopal (CSE), or NIT Jalandhar (CSE)?
IIIT Allahabad is better than MNIT Allahabad if you are interested in coding. Although NITs and IIIT Allahabad both are centrally funded technical institutes. The only difference is the course curriculum as IIIT Allahabad focuses only on IT and ECE. Due to this, minor subjects like Chemistry, Applied Mechanics, Engineering Drawing are dropped in 1st and 2nd semester itself.
NITs have a long legacy making it more reputable with strong alumni across all domains. On the other hand, IIITA is a young institution and follows innovative academic policies. Its alumni members are even present in Silicon Valley in a short span of time.
You can decide your own priorities in the career. If you are interested in coding culture and look forward to great internships and placements with a small cozy campus, you should prefer IIIT Allahabad. You should opt for MNIT Allahabad if you are interested in meeting new people with diverse backgrounds. It will help you in enhancing your personality.
If you ask me, my vote goes for IIIT Allahabad on all these below parameters.
- College Life: IIIT Allahabad is an institute of national importance, and boasts one of the best campuses in the country. Whereas, MNNIT is not even on the edge.
- Placements: 96% of the students got placed and received job offers from more than 120 companies. All major Computer Science companies like Google, Facebook, Amazon, and Adobe come to IIIT Allahabad's campus and make offers.

IIIT Allahabad has placements in Google Mountain View/ Europe/ Australia/Japan from almost every Batch from the past 4-5 years. IIIT Allahabad was preferred by these companies because a lot of alumni already worked in these companies and better industry perception has been built up.
The strength in NIT-A is approximately twice as compared to IIIT-A. And every year this strength keeps increasing. As you know that the quality decreases with the increase in strength, I would again suggest you choose IIIT-A.
How are internet facilities at IIIT Allahabad?
Internet facilities at IIIT Allahabad are really good. Having studied here myself I can say it is much better than what other colleges provide.
