Look for other options as IT at Heritage is not the best option. However, it has a stellar record of placement if we talk about the other branches. 

MSIT, on the other hand, offers good exposure for CSE. It just falls short of Heritage’s fame and does not enjoy the same reputation. During a recent placement drive, the CSE branch observed the highest number of placement offers.

Check the following table for a brief insight on both institutions

If you are unable to join MSIT, go for IT at Heritage and then shift your stream to CSE at the end of the first year if your SGPA is above 8.5. HIT boasts of having a brand value nowadays so obviously it attracts the most candidates.

If you think that you can work under technical giants later in years of study, then you should go for VIT. However, if you want to pursue your field of interest, and choose a likewise job scenario, then undoubtedly, you should enroll in IIIT Guwahati. 

There are various differences between both the institutes for B.Tech ECE. Let’s walk through most of them:

Approaches of VIT:

• VIT has a gigantic campus and is considered top-notch by students. You will most definitely enjoy your four years course period in VIT.

• VIT, other than that, has balanced boys: girls ratio.

• VIT is known to secure you a corporate job sooner than IIITG. This is seen at least in the current scheme.

The following table shows the placement statistics of both institutions:

Approaches of IIITG:

• IIIT Guwahati is comparatively a very new college. 

• The placement record is not 100%. If you however have the necessary abilities, it is only then that you will get placed. There are unfortunately no mass recruiters here, unlike VIT.

• IIITG is renowned to motivate you to think and implement your theories in places not most people have thought of before. VIT clearly missed out on it.

• You will find that the questions are seldom asked in IIITG examinations. In a nutshell, you are likely to find not any repeated questions in any course throughout the B.Tech course, unlike of course VIT.

• IIITG tremendously focuses on the research sectors.

VIT is a reputed institute that is known to get you a job in the placement. If you’re willing to enter the job sector soon, join VIT.

In terms of placements and Course structure, I have to say, Yes IT in IIIT Allahabad is better than the CSE course taught in many similar colleges.

 Here are some of the prominent features of the IT course at IIIT Allahabad:

• IIIT Allahabad is a more focused Institute and has only IT & ECE branches. Also, there is only one Semester common in B.Tech IT and B.Tech ECE and from the second semester, both specializations have their own subjects thus smoothing the path for many new technological advancements and finding a place in the regular course curriculum.
• From the year 2019, the IIIT Allahabad has introduced new innovative B.Tech. IT-Business Informatics program. The B.Tech IT-Business Informatics at IIITA is predominantly a B.Tech IT program with all compulsory subjects of B.Tech.
• The IT Program while maintaining its core IT structure and keeping whatever is mandatory for a Technology Bachelor program as per national statutory bodies specializes at Elective subjects level with Business Informatics specialization as a significant part of the program. A 2-credit course on German / French language with intercultural studies is a mandatory part of the Business Informatics program.
• Apart from this IIIT Allahabad offers an excellent coding culture in the Institute where different students / specialized clubs/ bodies are involved in cooperative and cumulative learning, which possibly one of its kind in our country.

These are a few things that separate IIITA from other colleges and Universities.
