Which/why is best for CSE: IIIT Una or NIT Uttarakhand?
One of my friends is currently enrolled for the 2022 batch at IIIT UNA. He has completed two years already with a rank below 30,000 and he got into CSE, if you have a rank between 30-36k then you won't have many other options available.
He had the option to choose between Thapar Institute of Technology, IIIT UNA, and UIET Chandigarh, and unfortunately, the choice of IIIT UNA was a regrettable decision. Firstly it does not have a good rank; secondly, you may see why as follows-
- NIT Hamirpur is the mentor institute at which my friend’s batch studies as part of the 2022 batch which is the only batch there without any seniors, labs, or societies.
- Administration-The institute lacks efficient management, it is headed by a dictatorial administrator who likes to make changes without prior announcement. Recently, a fine of INR 5000/subject was imposed on students for a shortage of attendance.
- Tuition Fees- For each year of the academic program, you'd have to deposit a high Tuition Fee of INR 2.05 LPA, which is steep because of the lack of facilities.
- College Environment- If you're seeking a happening campus life at IIIT UNA, then you'd be disappointed. There are hardly 2 or 3 clubs like Aavesh and Force, but joining them will be difficult owing to their eligibility criteria.
Lastly, I'd like to highlight the placement scenario as the placement cell clearly states that they are not responsible for the placement provision. Only CSE and IT departments receive some companies, for ECE there are only coding jobs available.
So, Thapar Institute of Technology and UIET Chandigarh are much better in terms of opportunities provided, college life, and alumni support.
Which one to choose: NSIT's ICE (instrumentation and control eng) OR IIIT UNA CSE?
Firstly, you should know that IIIT UNA is a new college and although it has the IIIT tag, it hasn't been ranked by any esteemed Ranking platforms like NIRF. Its classes are also facilitated by NIT Hamirpur's faculty and the campus and faculty are nice.
As far as NSIT is concerned, it ranks #76 on the NIRF ranking portal for engineering and has a better location in Delhi than Hamirpur, because of the facilities and professional opportunities available.
Here are some more pointers to help you understand better -
- If your interest lies in the program rather than the institute, then go for CSE. Although first reflect on the placement scenario of IIIT UNA, whether they receive good companies or not; if the package is satisfactory, and if speedy placements are facilitated after the course is over.
- When you take a look at NSIT, then you should know that you'd be able to build a good career as a software engineer with the ICE program, but the management will be a little difficult because of the delicate balance between coursework and developing your programming skills.
- Most ICE alumni are now pursuing MBA or working other non-technical jobs. For non-tech, NSIT offers better opportunities.
Here's a table on the placement scenario-

Lastly, decide according to your future goals and whether you'd like to pursue CSE or instrumentation.
What are the consequences if I join IIIT Una now.
In all honesty, it is determined by the pace of work at your institute. There is a slight chance that the majority of your degree will not be completed on your home campus, but it is highly unlikely that you will complete four years away from home.
Again, it is more dependent on the speed with which the government grants clearances to your institute.
Should I prefer IIIT Bhubaneswar, IIIT Vadodara, or IIIT Una?
Here is a brief overview of each one of them that might help you choose the best.
IIIT Bhubaneswar: It has been recognized as an International Institute of Information Technology, where the first 50% of the seats are primarily reserved for the Odisha category, while the other 50% is decided upon the JEE Mains. The placement is comparably the same as IIIT Vadodara and in terms of infrastructure, it is largely adequate too.
IIIT Vadodara: The campus is as of now temporarily functioning at GEC Gandhinagar, Gujarat. However, it still has a very reputed technical culture surrounding students, as well as the placements, are continually hiking each year. It is proof of how it is rapidly growing. The hostels of the institute are extremely good, as opposed to most of the other IIITs.
IIIT Una: It was established after IIIT Vadodara. It is at present functioning from NIT. It, unfortunately, has poor transportation facilities.
Nonetheless, for a better idea, here is a brief highlight of each institute’s placement stats for the year 2020.

How are the placements at IIIT Una? Are they the same as NIT Hamirpur?
I have a friend who is an alumnus of IIIT Una and here is what he had to say about the placements.
IIIT Una started from NIT Hamirpur campus as its temporary campus and its first batch graduated in the year 2018 only. This first batch faced a lot of difficulties because even though they were treated equally with the NIT Hamirpur’s students for the four years academically, during the placements most of the companies did not allow IIIT Una students to appear for the placement process.
Even the placements were handled by NIT Hamirpur as IIIT Una did not have its own placement committee. But the companies were hesitant to recruit IIIT Una’s students. Many companies did not have IIIT Una in their list of colleges to visit as they have a strict pre-defined policy for the same. So most of the companies were out of bounds for IIIT Una students. However, there were some companies who did allow them and the students grabbed the opportunities.
Next year onwards, IIIT Una build its own placement committee and became independent from NIT Hamirpur for placements. So expectedly they are better than before.
Which is better, IT at IIIT Una or CS at KNIT Sultanpur?
IT at IIIT Una is better than CS at KNIT Sultanpur. The reasons for the same are given below.
- Infrastructure - IIIT Una does not have its own campus yet. Currently, it is functioning from NIT Hamirpur campus. Thus IIIT Una students enjoy the same great facilities and the lush green campus as NIT Hamirpur students. KNIT Sultanpur has average to bad infrastructure.
- Locality - Again the temporary campus at NIT Hamirpur is much better than Sultanpur.
- Education - In this regard, both may be equal but owing to better facilities being provided by NIT Hamirpur, IIIT Una will be considered better. The fee is almost the same in both the colleges.
It is advisable to talk to some of the current as well as recent alumni of both the institutes to know the exact state of the colleges and their placement records. IIIT Una is still very new and evolving. KNIT is also a good option but looking at other things and the future growth potential IIIT Una should be preferred.

In conclusion, IIIT Vadodara offers a lot of opportunities to learn and grow with your field choice. Among the three options, IIIT Vadodara will be the best choice.
Which one should I choose between IIIT UNA and UIET for CSE?
I have a few friends from IIIT Una, so I think I can give you some insights about the institute.
IIIT Una a newly established institute and is monitored by NIT Hamirpur. Both share the same campus, classes, hostels, etc. But they have separate placements.
Based on what I heard from my friend I will say it is not wise to choose such a new institute. But the decision is yours. Here are some parameters based on which you can judge the institute.
- Class schedule
- Library
- WiFi facility
- Peer group
- Funds allotted for various competitions
- College reputation
