You should prefer IT at IIIT Allahabad. It has a great IT culture. You will have unlimited opportunities to develop skills in coding, app development, web development, game development, etc. The course structure includes core IT subjects from the first year itself. The coding culture on campus is excellent. Students of IIIT Allahabad dominate popular coding forums such as ACM-ICPC, Codechef, and Spoj.
The recent highlights of IIIT Allahabad show the average and highest CTC to be INR 21.85 LPA and INR 61.65 LPA.
All the mentioned NITs are among the top engineering institutes in the country. Out of all the NITs in India, the best choice is NIT Rourkela. As some of my friends studied there I might be able to give you some reasons. These are:
The fee and chemical branch placement details are as follows.
Categories | Chemical at NIT Rourkela |
Fee | INR 8.22 Lakhs |
Minimum Package | INR 3.6 LPA |
Average Package | INR 6.58 LPA |
Highest Package | INR 22 LPA |
The top recruiters include L&T, Reliance, Tata, P&G, Parle, ACC Cement, Aditya Birla, IOCL, PGCIL, NTPC, GMR Energy, GlaxoSmithKline, and more.
Overall, NIT Rourkela is an excellent choice. After CSE and EC branches, the Chemical branch recorded the highest placements. The return on investment of college is decent. But you should opt for it only if you can deal with and function under strict regulations and laws.
Hostel and campus life are subjective things that will vary between individuals; there is no metric to comparatively quantify the same. I can give you some idea about the hostel and campus life at MNIT Jaipur and MNNIT Allahabad based on what I heard from my friends at the institutes.
Comparison:
Based on what I heard from my friends at these two institutions, it seems that MNIT Jaipur offers a better hostel and campus life.
When choosing between several institutes, there are various things that you need to factor in before arriving at any possible conclusion. The first thing you need to decide is what matters to you most: branch or institute. If you have a specific branch in mind, you can definitely choose either of these two institutes. You can rest assured about placement as both of these two offer good placement to the students.
Whereas, if you are more inclined towards choosing a better institute, irrespective of the branch, you can choose MNNIT.
However, according to various reviews, the most preferred order for these choices among students are as follows.
Further, CSE and IT offer almost the same opportunities, and points 2 and 3 are interchangeable at times.
I personally believe that the upcoming future will be a more tech-savvy and digital world. So, going for CSE/IT is an evergreen choice. And is better than metallurgy engineering.
If there is no particular interest and just want a decent job in the future then choose CSE at IIIT Vadodara.
However, on the other hand, IIIT Kota is facing too many issues from faculties.
Hence if you are getting IIIT Kota CSE then you might also be getting some other good NITs and IIITs prefer them, else you will regret it if you are willing to achieve something bigger in life.
It depends on what it is that you want as both are different subjects. It depends on your preference. According to my cousin who studied CSE at MNIT, if you want a challenging job and you are aiming for PSUs, then mechanical engineering may be good. But the placements of mechanical even in top colleges like IITs will be lower than their CSE counterparts.

Mechanical engineering is going to be tougher even at IITs to secure a job. However, with some struggle, hard work, and years of experience, you may land a PSU job. However, CSE is not easy but getting an initial start to your career is easier in this branch with a good starting salary.
Pick the one which suits you better according to your career choice and the career progression you want after some years.
The answer highly depends on your preference. If you are aspiring to be a good programmer, you should think of going to IIIT Allahabad. The curriculum is based on a coding point of view as compared to the other colleges you have mentioned.

But, it is suggested that you go for DTU CSE as many friends of mine have been able to improve quite well as far as their skill set is concerned in their fields of interest. They also received good jobs in reputed MNCs.
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.
Whenever in doubt, always choose CSE over Metallurgy. Currently, CSE has a high demand. Back when a friend of mine was in his college, he mentioned how everyone went for MNIT blindly.
Back then, MNIT used to carry out classes of IIIT Kota. But currently, it is of no use! Even if you have to choose any college in the future, the streams Metallurgy and CS are likely to confuse you.
Just go for CS as Computer Science. As mentioned, it is in great demand and is better than Metallurgy. CS happens to secure your employment opportunities for the future. I also would not say that the placements are very bad if you go for MNIT, Metallurgy, the placements are fine, but not something that catches the eye, simultaneously. There is no tag of NIT here.
IIIT Allahabad and MNIT Jaipur are institutes of national importance. But if you like coding, it's not wise to search for options in ECE. ECE is a hardware-related program dealing with communication, whereas CS deals with software.
For the NIT tag, you can choose SVNIT. Among the IIITs, the best will be IIIT Bangalore ad it provides the best research opportunities. But, the best choice as per your interest is B.Tech Hons. Computational Sciences from DA-IICT.
The reasons are below.
The fee and placement of DA-IICT are as follows.
Tuition Fee |
7.28 Lakhs |
Average Package |
10.16 LPA |
Highest Package |
39.3 LPA |
Overall, DA-IICT is worth joining for the CS program. It will reap excellent results.
