How is IIIT, Vadodara? Are the placements good?

Completed MBA from XLRI, Jamshedpur (2020)

A relative of mine used to be a student of IIIT Vadodara and he is all praise for the institute. The college has improved a lot over the years and is still improving.

The coding culture of the institute is evolving by the day. The seniors as well as the faculty will enthusiastically support you. The institute is still undergoing development and may not be able to stand toe to toe with other elite institutes but the students are hopeful that someday it will.

Major companies that have participated in the placement drive are Adobe, CodeNation, DirectL, etc. Some students also ended up bagging internships during the summer break. The internships were offered by Mathworks, Amazon, Quikr, etc.

Another big names that have offered placements are PayTm. KPGM has offered placements off-campus. A few students have also interned for companies in Germany, France, and Japan.

The institute has been gaining repute and things are looking good and they will no doubt get better. My relative has no regrets whatsoever when he graduated from this IIIT Vadodara.

Which is better, IIIT Vadodara CS or SEAS ICT PDPU CS?

RR
Ravi Ranjan Raj Posted On : June 24th, 2021
B.Tech from Indian Institute of Information Technology, Vadodara (2019)

I have some friends at IIIT Vadodara and PDPU, so I think I can give you some information about them.

  • CSE at IIIT Vadodara started 3 years before PDPU.
  • PDPU has a higher expense and houses a vast campus. Since CSE was recently established, the facilities would be less compared to other colleges. College life at PDPU is more of a luxury with a high fee.
  • If you are genuinely interested in learning CSE and can ignore your own campus life issue then you should choose IIIT Vadodara.
  • Moreover, PDPU is not well-known outside Gujarat. Whereas IIITs are institutes of national importance and the brand value does offer certain perks.

Here’s a brief comparison of the two institutes.

Which is better, IIIT Una, IIIT Vadodara or IIIT Kurnool?

TS
Tanmay Singh Posted On : July 15th, 2021
B.Tech from Indian Institute of Information Technology, Vadodara (2022)

All three IIITs are established by MHRD and offer an excellent education to students.

  • IIIT Kurnool is one of the five fully funded IIIT by MHRD. So, IIIT Kurnool charges a little less for courses as compared to IIIT Vadodara and IIIT Una. The faculty base at IIIT Kurnool is not that great.
  • IIIT Kurnool and IIIT Una do not have a permanent campus. Their temporary campus is IIIT Kancheepuram and NIT Hamirpur, respectively. On the other hand, IIIT Vadodara has a permanent campus.

Fee and Placement details of the institutes are as follows.

Criteria IIIT Vadodara IIIT Kurnool IIIT Una
Fee INR 7.83 Lakhs INR 5.24 Lakhs INR 7.91 Lakhs
Average CTC INR 6.59 LPA INR 4.5 LPA INR 4.5 LPA
Highest CTC INR 30 LPA INR 4.5 LPA INR 13.5 LPA

Out of all the above, IIT Vadodara offers the best returns on investment (ROI). Also, the placement percentage of the institute is 100%. The companies that visit the campus are Coviam, ICICI Bank, Innovaccer, Amazon, Matlab, Paytm, Coding Ninjas, TCS, Capillary Technologies, and more.

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 is better for CS, IIIT Vadodara or SGSITS Indore?

KS
Kanika Seth Posted On : June 29th, 2021
CSE at IIT Kanpur 2021 Batch

I have friends from both IIIT Vadodara and SGSITS Indore, and here is what they have to say about their CSE courses.

  • IIIT Vadodara is an Institute of National Importance and has been recognized under national institutes, while on the other hand, SGSITS Indore is apparently a State Level College. That clearly means CSE in IIIT Vadodara will unarguably be better than the CS department in SGSITS, Indore. Having said that, IIIT Vadodara also has a very healthy competitive coding culture.
  • At IIIT Vadodara the courses you get to learn are completely subject-related from the beginning of the first year itself. This means you will not have to learn the various other course materials of engineering like drawing, mechanical or civil engineering initially during the first few months in the institute.
  • At SGSITS, initially, you have to learn the various subjects related to mechanical, civil, and others, unlike IIIT Vadodara. It is because, during the first year, the course is common for every branch. Every student is given the same study materials.
  • It is important to note that studying the various course materials which are completely irrelevant to the department can rather be replaced by studying and investing more time into improving the coding skills you have, which is what is encouraged at IIIT Vadodara.
  • Apart from the above factors, IIIT Vadodara has been recognized as a national institute, while in contrast, SGSITS Indore is not that recognized outside Indore and Madhya Pradesh itself.

Here are some recent statistics about the two institutes.

Institute

Highest CTC

Major recruiters

Thus to say, IIIT Vadodara can be a better option to choose if compared with SGSITS or any other state-level college.

AT
Ayushi Tiwari Posted On : July 5th, 2021
Studied at the Indian Institute of Information Technology, Vadodara (2019)

Among the choices, IIIT Vadodara is a better alternative. IIIT Vadodara is established on Public-Private Partnerships based on the Government of India. It is an institute of national importance under the IIIT PPP bill.

It is running under DA-IICT which provides the best facilities at least in terms of academics. It is operated from the Govt Engg College, Gandhinagar on a temporary basis and soon will be operated from its very own campus. The permanent campus will helpful in the extracurricular domains and apart from that, all the facilities are provided at the Gandhinagar campus only.

Which is a better IP University: CS at USICT or IIIT Vadodara for CS?

RS
Rishireeta Sen Posted On : July 2nd, 2021
Studied Computer Science at the Indian Institute of Information Technology, Vadodara (2020)

IIIT is the place to be if CSE is your passion.

USICT offers a dual degree program which is B.Tech + M.Tech in a span of six years. Which limits your choice of opting for a masters’ program on your own. Also, the course is not an integrated program that is for five years, so you are not even saving one year. You will have to complete your usual B.Tech in four years and then M.Tech for three years.

The following table shows the placement details for both institutions:

Institute

USICT

IIIT Vadodara

Average CTC

9 LPA

13 LPA

Highest CTC

43.5 LPA

Major recruiters

However, USICT is a well-established institution in comparison to IIIT Vadodara and thus, it has certain benefits over IIIT Vadodara. So, choose what suits you best.

Which college should I select if I have two options BVM and IIIT Vadodara? Why?

DR
Deepika Rawat Posted On : July 2nd, 2021
Studied at the Indian Institute of Information Technology, Vadodara

One of my cousins is a student at IIIT Vadodara. I hope I will be able to help you with this doubt.

BVM is an old college whereas IIIT Vadodara is very new to its comparison. What my cousin says is, if he had a choice between BVM and IIIT Vadodara, he would have definitely chosen BVM over IIIT Vadodara.

IIIT Vadodara provides you with very few resources. There is no permanent campus and it lacks hostel facilities. It would not be surprising to see that it still lacks these two basic infrastructures even after ten years from now.

  • The college runs in a local college in Gandhinagar.
  • The hostel fee depends on the owner, you will have to pay whatever he asks. In addition to that, since the hostels are not so near the college, you will have to pay for transportation fees as well. This is really frustrating as the college makes us pay for its inadequacy.
  • No proper laboratory facilities for subjects such as Physics, BER, IR.

My cousin, who is in his fourth year of graduation, regrets joining IIIT Vadodara. Although the tag of an IIITian may help you in getting a better placement than BVM.

If you are getting an opportunity to opt for BVM, go for it. It is a well-established college and you will get ample resources to utilize for your growth.

Why is it compulsory to stay in the hostel at IIIT Vadodara?

AS
Ankush Singh Posted On : June 23rd, 2021
B.Tech CSE, IIIT Vadodara (2019)

If you are an undergraduate student then you must stay at the hostel. Not only in IIIT Vadodara but at any institute students stay in a hostel. If you have a guardian living in a city, then you can stay with them after informing your institute. But it is up to the institute whether they give you persimmon to live outside campus.

You need not worry about the hostel as it is well equipped with all the facilities. It is advised to live there because even if you are not living in a hostel you have to pay the hostel fees.

What would be better if I am interested in both, EE at NIT Hamirpur or CSE at IIIT Vadodara?

AK
Ankush Kapoor Posted On : July 17th, 2021
B.Tech in ECE from National Institute of Technology Durgapur (2015)

Before selecting among institutes, you should decide which branch to opt for. As per the question asked, you must have an interest in both EE and CSE at the two specified institutes.

The points followed will give certain guidelines, based on which you can come to a conclusion.

  • CSE has a much better placement opportunity in the private sector all over India. But for electrical engineers, there is a good scope in the government sector.
  • Considering the reputation of institutes, NIT Hamirpur is a much better institute than IIIT Vadodara.
  • In NIT Hamirpur, the alumni base is obviously much stronger than that of IIIT Vadodara.
  • The campus life too is much better in NIT H. The only disadvantage is its location with no direct access to the city. On the other hand, Vadodara is a well-established city with proper communication to other cities. But, Hamirpur is not as bad a location as Mandi, and so is somewhat accessible.
  • NIT Hamirpur has one of the most beautiful campuses in India. So, the four years of engineering are very spent inside the campus of NIT H. No one regrets being on the campus by any means.

Considering the above points, it can be deduced that EE at NIT Hamirpur is a better option, having a better college reputation and good campus life.

Which is the best college I can opt for: IIIT, Vadodara (IT) or the best local college in Telangana (IT)?

KV
Kritesh Vaidya Posted On : July 19th, 2021
B.Tech Information Technology, Indian Institute of Information Technology, Vadodara (2021)

You should go with IIITs in any case as they are the better choice. You will be studying with some of the top students in the country who have managed to secure a rank under 35000. You will be exposed to a great study atmosphere and competition.

You cannot get this sort of exposure in local private colleges (with some exceptions) where several students get admission through management quota. Most of them are also from rich and well-to-do families who are just looking to secure a degree.

To be honest, you cannot compare an institute of national importance with a state-level private college. You should not underestimate the academics of colleges due to the absence of a permanent campus or infrastructure.

A lot of the students from these colleges have a really good caliber and the potential to gain international recognition without the support of the college administration.
