Which is the better choice, IIIT Sri City or IIEST Shibpur for civil engineering?
Here IIEST Shibpur will be a better choice for civil engineering as it is one of the oldest civil engineering colleges in our country and has improved a lot since its inception.
Batch Size:
One of my friends goes to IIEST, according to him the Civil Department has more than 100 students in a single batch.
Faculty:
The faculty of the civil engineering department is experienced, knowledgeable, and are highly qualified. They are great at teaching the concepts and are nice and friendly too. However, faculties sometimes tend to use Bangali while teaching, which is difficult to follow for out-of-state students.
Campus Life:
The campus is also very beautiful and the lifestyle at college is very lively. The hostel also provides many services and a student can decide the menu for their lunch and dinner.
Collaborations:
IIEST Shibpur has collaborations with the following institutes.
- University of Queensland
- University of Hiroshima
- Hokkaido University
- University of South Wales
- Zurich University
- California University
- University of Cambridge
So, you can definitely choose IIEST Shibpur for Civil Engineering. But for placements don’t depend entirely on the institute.
Which one should be preferred: IIIT Srirangam or IIIT Sri City?
IIIT Srirangam should be preferred to IIIT Sri City. Though both were established in 2013, IIIT Trichy, or IIIT Srirangam as it is popularly known due to the name of its location in Trichy, has been functioning its temporary campus at NIT Trichy, which happens to be its mentor institute as well, campus until 2020.

Another factor which tips the favor towards IIIT Srirangam are its placement records. The institute also records a highest internship package of INR 2.25 lakhs.
IIIT Sri City, though has been mentored by IIIT Hyderabad, has been functioning temporarily at the Institute for Financial Management and Research, Sri City campus. The mentor institute carries little importance, but the location of the temporary campus really does. Thus looking at these parameters, IIIT Srirangam is preferable.
What should I choose, IIIT Kurnool or IIIT Sri City?
As both of these are IIITs, they will never fail in delivering quality education to their students. However, there are some aspects due to which IIIT Sri City has an edge over IIITDM Kurnool. Here’s why:
- IIIT Sri City already has its permanent campus ready which means you’ll have all the basic facilities on your own campus. It is well established and way ahead of IIITDM Kurnool.
- In IIIT Sri City you will have a location advantage due to its proximity to major cities like Hyderabad, Chennai, and Bangalore.
- You will be offered quite good placements at IIIT Sri City as two batches have already passed out and got offers from PayPal, MuSigma, etc. On the other hand, IIIT Kurnool lacks such a record.
- One of the major pros is that your mentor institute will be IIIT Hyderabad which doesn’t need any second thoughts. You might get certain benefits like their great curriculum, faculty, and placement assistance.
- Many pass-out students are pursuing their masters from reputed foreign institutes.

However, it doesn’t mean that IIITDM Kurnool is not at all a good option. The thing is that it still needs at least the next 5-10 years to produce great records and become a premier institute like the other IIITs. But for now, IIIT Sri City is the best choice for you.
Which is better for a B.Tech in Computer Science: MIT Manipal, IIIT Sri City (Chittoor), or IIIT Guwahati?
I know a few students at IIIT Guwahati and therefore, I would try to answer your question.
IIIT Guwahati is the highest-ranked IIIT among all the other IIITs by NIRF 2020. This is a huge achievement because it was established in 2013 under the Public-Private Partnership by the Government of India. It is growing rapidly.
The CSE program at IIIT Guwahati is very well-developed meeting the standards of an IIT. The institute provides a good research facility. Also, in the first year, the course is the same for CSE and ECE.

Which is better, IIIT Sri City or NIT AP?
IIIT Sri City is way too better when compared to NIT Andhra Pradesh considering the fact that both of these are fairly new institutions. IIIT Sri City is older when compared to NIT-AP. Academic facilities are amazing IIIT Sri City and there is an on-campus hostel facility too. I have a few friends at IIIT Sri City, and I have heard good things about the institute from them.

In your opinion, which is the best, among IIIT Sri City, Guwahati, Kota, Lucknow and Trichy?
If you are considering IIIT Kolkata, IIIT Sri City and IIIT Trichy are all colleges that have done very well and are also developing quite well. Compared to these, IIIT Guwahati and Lucknow are not quite up to the mark yet.
As for IIIT Sri City, I have a friend studying there and according to him, this college is one of the first among the others to have its own campus.
- It was completed about a year or two ago so if you are looking for admission, definitely go to IIIT Sri City.
- The very first batch from this college had an average package offer of INR 7.5 LPA and is quite good as compared to mid-level NITs.
- The mentorships provided by IIITH also helps a lot and the curriculum here is amazing.
- If you are looking for research, almost every student ends up publishing a research paper in B.Tech. Students are even better to go on to publish around 6 to 7 international papers as well.

Should I join MANIT (NIT Bhopal) Chemical Engineering while I get CSE at IIIT Sri city? I've no particular inclination towards any branch.
Why do you want to opt for engineering? Is it because you enjoy Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics? If that’s the reason, then there are two possibilities for you.
Joining IIIT Sri City for CSE-
- You can sharpen your coding skills and work better on Computer Science learning more about ethical hacking, cybersecurity, etc. This is how CSE would prove to be fruitful to you.
- But if we perceive the other side of the situation, if you do not hold any interest here, you might find it hard to cope with and eventually lose interest. Since IIIT Sri City is a new college, it will not be able to impart the essential communication/soft skills to you.
Joining Chemical Engineering at MANIT Bhopal-
- Apart from developing a great interest in Chemical Engineering, you have the opportunities to either go for higher education via GRE or ensure placement via GATE.
- But again, comparing the other side of the situation, if Chemical Engineering does not spark your interest, you can go for other domains like Management. MANIT offers all the adequate communication/soft skills that would be essential for that.
If you have no particular inclination, then choosing CSE may be better. As it has two domains, i.e. coding and non-coding. Plus, the internet is full of great ebooks and tutorials to teach you.
Should we prefer or join IIIT Sri City over other IIITs?
Well, I have friends studying in various IIITs across the country and according to their experience, IIIT Sri City is indeed a good choice. While there is no specific reason to choose it above other IIITs, here are some insights you need to know.
- IIIT Sri City has a very strong governing body including top academicians and top industry personnel. No doubt that within a few years of establishment, IIIT Sri City has been progressing at an unmeasurable pace and it will be among the top IIITs of India.
- With neighboring institutes like Krea University, you will get great exposure to the liberal arts and humanities from the finest professors from all over India.
- The placement statistics of IIIT Sri City are good despite being newly established institutes. Even in terms of the alumni network, it is quite prominent and growing every year. Recently, my friend’s senior who is pursuing a master's in CMU, Pittsburg got placement got offers from PayPal, Computer Associates, MuSigma, and others.
- Last but not the least, you will have the massive advantage of location if you come to IIIT Sri City. The institute is in close proximity to main IT hubs like Bangalore, Chennai, and Hyderabad.
Overall, IIIT Sri City is the fastest-growing new IIIT as compared to other newly established ones. In terms of location, administration, and placements, this prime institute is bound to reach new heights in the coming years.
