My cousin studied at IIT Sri City and he had a hostel room for himself. The hostel life seemed to be very dull and uneventful however the facilities were on point.
Even though the rooms are not fully furnished, each student will still be given a table and a chair to study.
One of my friends suggests that IIIT Sri City can be a better option than NIT Tadepalligudem. The reason behind her suggesting the same is because the curriculum of IIIT Sri City stands out from NIT Tadepalligudem.
The curriculum of IIIT Sri City has been adopted from IIIT Hyderabad, helping it become more distinct than the other. The directors at IIIT Sri City are from IIIT Hyderabad. It is situated in an area that is one of India’s fastest developing SEZ.

My friend is a pass out from IIIT Sri City and was placed at a well-reputed company. According to his experience, the secret to their great placement record is their curriculum.
As we all know that IIIT Hyderabad is the mentor institute of IIIT Sri City, it gets excellent faculty and placement assistance. The curriculum is totally different compared to NITs and IITs, so you will have a year of advantage over others because in IIITs there is no PCM in the first year.
You will be taught core subjects in depth from the first year itself, unlike regular B.Tech. This is a major plus point that helps train you enough for the placements later. Currently, the average package at IIIT Sri City is about 8–9 LPA and the highest is 24 LPA.
You might also get offered semester-long internships out of India in which you will get paid too.
Here is a list of some companies who recruit at IIIT Sri City:
However, the placement package and company also depend on your skills and capabilities. So, you will need to strictly adhere to their curriculum to climb the ladder of success. Also, in case you miss the campus placements, the rigorous curriculum and training will make you capable of getting any good-paying job outside the campus.
Well, the student can visit the official website and get a look at the placement statistics.
With this, the student will understand that one of the third-year students from this institute got an internship in Cisco. This is more or less a dream for the students from the CS department. Besides, students here also have done an internship in different foreign countries.
From the above, the student may get an idea regarding the placement statistics. However, the best thing about this institute is that the companies that are visited here are mainly product-based companies, not service-based companies, but most of them are start-ups. So, if the students do not have an idea about the disparity of these, then it is better to go through the difference, and the student will understand why the placement statistics of this institute are just awesome.
The main consideration is that the companies that come here for recruitment are mostly start-ups.
