The points mentioned below would surely help you decide it by yourself.
Campus Life: (Winning Institution - NIT Trichy)
Thus, the campus life at NIT Trichy is better than IIIT Allahabad.
Coding Culture: (Winning Institution - IIIT Allahabad)
A higher rate of students at NIT Trichy belongs to the core branch whereas, at IIIT Allahabad, the majority of the students are coders. Therefore, the coding culture at IIIT Allahabad is better than NIT Trichy.
Higher Studies: (Winning Institution - IIIT Allahabad)
IIIT Allahabad is a much better option if you wish to do MS from foreign universities.
Placement: (NITT~IIIT Allahabad)
When it comes to placement, there is not much difference in both institutions.
So, go through these points and choose the institute according to your convenience.
First of all, preparing for placements is a continuous process. You should never make this mistake to pile up things for the last moment. You should start preparing by brushing up your existing knowledge from the initial days only. In the final month of placement, you should only revise the concepts both basics and advanced. Here are some of the resources that you can follow for your preparation.
You can go through two websites, i.e. GeeksforGeeks and Glassdoor to learn about interview experiences.
One of my friends told me that these three institutes must be in this order like; IIIT A>>> NIT Bhopal>= NIT Rourkela. Although he was a student of NIT Rourkela.
He stated that between these three, Rourkela and Bhopal are more or less equal. However, both of these institutes consist of some advantages and disadvantages as well.
If NIT Bhopal is considered and compared with NIT Rourkela, then it must be said that NIT Bhopal's strength is a large batch size; IT+CSE. But the main advantage of NIT Bhopal is the location and nearby airport transport facilities that conceal all the advantages of this institute. For this reason, NIT Bhopal experiences big recruiters every year, and NIT Rourkela misses this entirely. This is the reason why NIT Bhopal is one step ahead of NIT Rourkela.

However, at NIT Rourkela, M.Tech in Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) is almost similar to doing M.Tech in IITs. But in the case of Bhopal, the students can sit for placements for all the big companies in the campus recruitment process along with B.Tech companies. It will be better to avoid IIIT Allahabad for doing M.Tech in CSE, as placement opportunities in this institute are not good. This thing is that IIIT Allahabad does not allow M.Tech students to attend for placement in the on-campus recruitment process.
Thus, it can be stated that for the B.Tech course, IIIT Allahabad>> NIT Bhopal> NIT Rourkela.
Something you need to understand is that it is no one who is desperate to grab in students. The reputation of IIIT Allahabad in India is of one fine institute that holds national importance of its own. Apart from that, it has managed to establish itself as a brand on its own since its existence. The only issue is how underrated it lies amongst the people in India.
If you check out any other social media platform, you would realise that students who come from IIIT Allahabad provide feedback and present authentic facts everywhere. But there exists a certain mass that claim false facts by taking credit for achievements received by other campuses. These people carry such misconceptions that they believe that an INI set up MHRD- which has managed to establish itself almost 10 years back is nothing in front of a college under a PPP model.
While coming across anyone rating your college better than IIIT Allahabad, you should have an open mind for criticism.
So, what makes IIIT Allahabad a great college -
There are newspaper rankings on IIIT Allahabad too that you can go through, but I'm essentially not someone who buys that as most of the time, these high rankings on newspapers are paid advertisements.
Last, but not least, no doubt that IIIT Allahabad is one of the finest institutes, but there is still much to work on. Also, keep this in mind - no one forces students in institutes and is desperate for that.
I would say that it is not suitable for those who wish to pursue a career in research. Also, if you are hoping for good placements in any robotics company you will be disappointed. But first, weigh the benefits and drawbacks.
Pros and Cons:
Now consider the following factors that make it superior to the standard course:
This institute is the only one of its kind to offer an IT robotics specialization. That means your coding skills will undoubtedly come in handy. Other colleges place a greater emphasis on mechanical and physical aspects. So, if you're an IT enthusiast who enjoys coding robots, this is the institute for you.
My best friend cracked the IIT Allahabad entrance in 2018 and it was not easy to do so. She had cleared the JEE exam with 225 marks to get into the IT department.

Dr. Rahul Kala- assistant professor at the Department of Artificial Intelligence and Robotics is one of the faculty members at IIIT Allahabad. He indeed is one of the finest of all. Here are something you should know about him -
Naturewise, Dr. Kala is one fine person who is so very humble and simple in his ways. Unless he doesn't have any lectures or meetings to attend, Dr. Kala arrives at his office around 9:00-9:30 AM and departs right at 9:00 PM in the night.
He can be described as someone who is-
To capsule everything about Dr. Kala, the point that I've tried to make is that you'll receive the best guidance and learning from him. His company is always appreciated. Whether it is anyone from their labs or lecture rooms- they'd always praise having Dr. Kala around.
My brother attended IIT Allahabad. His first day was normal and hectic with all the admission procedures and formalities. But his first-class experience was quite amusing. Here is how it went.
One or two days after admission, he is taking the campus tour with our parents. While entering CC - 3 (Computer Center -3), my father casually asked the guard, ‘Where are the classrooms for freshers?’ To this question, the guard replied the classes have started from that day only from 10 A.M.
It was around 10:25 A.M by then and my brother had no idea or any notebook with him. My parents kind of pushed him to attend his first class anyway. He was already 30 mins late. He took a quick peek at the class and according to him, the professor looked lenient. So, he took a chance and tried to sneak in quietly. Nonetheless, the professor saw him and asked, ‘Are you 30 mins late for this class or 30 mins too early for the next one?’ In response, the whole class burst out in laughter.
Later he got to know the said professor was the HOD of the Mathematics department. Needless to say, it was quite a start for my brother.
