IIIT Allahabad is the institute of national importance, whereas Thapar Institute of Engineering & Technology is a deemed university in Punjab. The best institute among the two for pursuing engineering is IIIT Allahabad. It is far better than Thapar. Here is a brief overview of the institutes.

• The tag of IIIT is an advantage. IIIT Allahabad is not less than old IITs as it is one among the Tier-1 colleges for engineering.
• The quality of research and reputation it has in the industry makes it a lucrative choice.
• IIIT Allahabad offers only two specializations, IT and ECE. It diverts the complete focus on these two branches.
• The faculty of the institute is skilled in teaching and has vast experience in the industry. They use the industry-specific teaching approach and prepare the students to take up real-world challenges.
• The coding culture of the institute is renowned in the country. It has given birth to many excellent programmers in the world. Every year, a team goes to compete at the international finals in ACM ICPC. Heard of ‘Humblefool’? Till date, he is considered the best programmer from India and he belongs to IIIT Allahabad.

Overall, the above points conclude that IIIT Allahabad is not only the brand, but it also gives the best return on investment.

One of my friends is currently enrolled for the 2022 batch at IIIT UNA. He has completed two years already with a rank below 30,000 and he got into CSE, if you have a rank between 30-36k then you won't have many other options available. 

He had the option to choose between Thapar Institute of Technology, IIIT UNA, and UIET Chandigarh, and unfortunately, the choice of IIIT UNA was a regrettable decision. Firstly it does not have a good rank; secondly, you may see why as follows-

• NIT Hamirpur is the mentor institute at which my friend’s batch studies as part of the 2022 batch which is the only batch there without any seniors, labs, or societies.
• Administration-The institute lacks efficient management, it is headed by a dictatorial administrator who likes to make changes without prior announcement. Recently, a fine of INR 5000/subject was imposed on students for a shortage of attendance.

• Tuition Fees- For each year of the academic program, you'd have to deposit a high Tuition Fee of INR 2.05 LPA, which is steep because of the lack of facilities.

• College Environment- If you're seeking a happening campus life at IIIT UNA, then you'd be disappointed. There are hardly 2 or 3 clubs like Aavesh and Force, but joining them will be difficult owing to their eligibility criteria.

Lastly, I'd like to highlight the placement scenario as the placement cell clearly states that they are not responsible for the placement provision. Only CSE and IT departments receive some companies, for ECE there are only coding jobs available.

So, Thapar Institute of Technology and UIET Chandigarh are much better in terms of opportunities provided, college life, and alumni support.
