The coding culture of IIIT Lucknow is not at all something that one should question. Being mentored by IIIT Allahabad which was also famous for its coding culture, IIIT Lucknow has gone very far. It has not only taken forward the legacy of good coding culture, but it has also worked beyond it since the launch of its pilot batch.
The plus point is that all the seniors take the coding classes of the first year. You can reach out to them easily from any queries. This helps the students of the first year to give a kickstart to their competitive coding journey. So, if you are willing to get into IIIT Lucknow and you have average coding skills, don't worry, you’ll get through it.
Well, the final choice totally depends on you, however, dropping one more year is not a wise thing to do. If you have scored a low rank that can’t get you into IITs or NITs, here are some useful tips that will enlighten you in this tough time.

My sister did her B.Tech from NIT Kurukshetra as it is one of the top-rated NIT and she had a wonderful time there.
So, I would suggest you to go for Electrical Engineering at NIT Kurukshetra. However to help you make a better decision here’s a comparison between the three colleges:

You can have a better branch but it won’t matter as you wouldn’t get enough placement opportunities. Students from NIT are placed in some of the top multinational companies.

This is true that the only reason IIIT Lucknow has great placements is simply because of IIIT Allahabad. It can be explained with the help of the following points:
If you are concerned about the fact that it would affect IIIT Lucknow once they shift, the straight answer to this is YES! With this, it is going to get difficult to expect companies to show up.
When you compare both these colleges for their faculty, in my view, they both have top notch faculty.
For example, IIIT Bhagalpur is also mentored by IIT Guwahati so most students are aware that the faculty and academic environment is good here. As the case with IIIT Lucknow is also similar – where it is being mentored by IIIT Allahabad which is known for its coding culture and is one of the top IIITs across the country, you will not have a reason to doubt the institute.
So, both colleges are equally good as they are being mentored by some of the best institutes in the country and have good faculty.
HBTU is the best among all the institutes mentioned above. The university is old and reputed. So, it's better if you choose HBTU CSE over the other options. HBTU placements 2021 witnessed an average CTC of INR 6.46 LPA. A total of 69 students were recruited from the CSE branch. HCL, IBM, Adobe are the major recruiters.
