Will IIIT Ranchi students be allowed to sit in NIT Jamshedpur placements?
From talking to students of IIIT Pune, I have come to the conclusion that there can be two possibilities to this question. Let me discuss both of them which might give you a clear idea.
- Companies may conduct the recruitment process separately for which a separate placement cell may be formed. The decision to recruit from IIIT Ranchi will be of the companies that come for the placement drive.
- IIIT Ranchi students may be allowed to sit in NIT Jamshedpur placements but with certain restrictions like an exception from sitting for getting placed in big companies that visit the campus such as Amazon and Microsoft. This type of policy is usually adopted by mentor institutions.
In the year 2020, the first batch of IIIT Ranchi got placed and here are the highlights:

How is ECE at IIIT Ranchi?
The ECE branch at IIIT Ranchi is not that good. IIIT Ranchi is also being shifted to a temporary campus in Ranchi very soon. In the new temporary campus, the distance between the hostel and the academic block will be 10-15 km.
- The recruitment process for new faculties also is not fair. However, if you want to pursue pure ECE or CSE, the faculty quality is decent.
- You will also need to keep a good relationship with the faculties to score well in the examination.
- The placement statistics also are not that good. With a batch size of 120-150, it will be quite difficult too. The batch intake is also likely to increase to 180.
It is very unlikely that IIIT Ranchi will have a permanent campus any time soon. So, it will be better if you don’t go for IIIT Ranchi.
How is IIIT Ranchi's CSE?
IIIT Ranchi offers a decent CSE program. It is a centrally funded institute and offers good facilities to students. The course structure is flexible, you will get enough time to focus on your other interests. The campus has an active coding culture. During last IIIT Ranchi placement drive, CSE students received an average CTC of INR 7.2 LPA. Deloitte, Adobe, Infoedage, IBM, etc. were the major recruiters.
Which is the best CSE at IIIT Ranchi or civil at NIT Jamshedpur?
One of my cousins was in a similar dilemma when she got selected for both Civil at NIT Jamshedpur and CSE at IIIT Ranchi. S he decided to go for NIT Jamshedpur as she had no interest in the IT sector at all. S he wanted a core branch and NIT Jamshedpur seemed to be her best choice. Moreover, its Civil branch placements are considered to be at par with the top NITs. In your case too, it's best to focus on your interests and future prospects to make a healthy decision. If you have even a slight interest in the IT sector, choose IIIT Ranchi because its CSE is way better than NIT Jamshedpur CSE.

Can I change branches from ECE to CSE after the 1st year in IIIT Ranchi?
No, you will not get any option to change branches in IIIT Ranchi. Although, most of the students are very satisfied with their branch.
Both branches CS and ECE have got similar kinds of training. ECE branch is very good at IIIT Ranchi and there is rarely anyone who wants to change it. Do not go for CSE by only considering the placement opportunities. As technology is changing rapidly and the demand for technological jobs is high.
For placements, you will be supposed to sit with NIT Jamshedpur students for placements and there is no discrimination between the students. Some of the classes will also be conducted in NIT Jamshedpur.
Which one is better, IIIT Ranchi or BIT Mesra for Computer Science?
For Computer Science, BIT Mesra is better than IIIT Ranchi. You will receive better facilities and placements. The placement rate for CSE is above 90%. Recent highlights of BIT Mesra placement show the average and highest CTC to be INR 13 LPA and INR 43 LPA, respectively. Major companies such as Accenture, Microsoft, Amazon, etc. take part in the placement drive.
What changes do you wish to see at IIIT Ranchi for the coming years?
IIIT Ranchi is an autonomous institution established quite recently. The institute is still in this budding phase. There are still some years required to cover all their bases.
In 2018, a new director was been appointed, Dr. Vishnu Priye Sir. He started many new ventures such as the Formation of the Web development team and TAP cell. The institute also received its official logo. IIIT Ranchi app was launched by the institute. It also recruited some of the finest faculty members. The students of IIIT Ranchi had also shown enthusiasm in various events held at national levels such as Hackathons, Coding events, ACM-ICPC. The institute also participated in the sports meet at IIIT Allahabad.
I have a few friends at the institute and according to them, the institute should focus on the following.
- Ensuring good placement offers for the students.
- Establishment of a permanent campus in Ranchi.
In the long run, the institute needs to establish itself as a renowned institute and serve the country by giving some of the finest engineers, technologists, researchers, leaders.
