What should be my best pick, CSE at MNIT Jaipur or IT at MNNIT Allahabad?
Both the colleges are well-renowned. But there are certain things I would like to bring to your notice-
As per college rankings, MNNIT is the top NIT in North India. It witnesses very good placements in IT/CSE. The average package for IT is almost at par with that for CSE. This year, the average package was around 24 LPA for IT and 27 LPA for CSE. The CSE students at MNIT Jaipur receive comparatively way lower packages.
At MNNIT, CS, and IT students have the same curriculum till 2nd year. Even after the 2nd year, only 1 or 2 subjects are different. The coding culture is great, and coders perform really well on various platforms like CodeChef, HackerEarth, Hackerrank, etc.
I would recommend you choose IT at MNNIT Allahabad.
Should I prefer IEM Kolkata IT or Heritage institute technology ECE?
IEM Kolkata IT will be comparably better. Although IEM has pretty strict rules in place, it offers better opportunities in terms of academics and placements. According to the stats of recent IEM placements, each year around 90% of students get placed each year from IT. The highest CTC for the branch is INR 40 LPA.
Heritage Institute of Technology is a good option, if you want to pursue research or MS, further.
Which is the better option - PICT for IT, VIT Pune for IT, or WCE Sangli for CSE?
My friend was in a similar dilemma when he was left with these three options. Based on his experience, PICT is the best option in Pune for computers. The institute provides an environment and resources suitable for working on quality projects. The academic ambiance is excellent and you will get a chance to develop yourself. Students with a good CGOA bag good offers while some open their own startups.
WCE is a decent college with a good campus and faculty pool. The students make it to average companies like TCS Infosys cognizant. It’s the best college in the Kolhapur and Solapur University area. Most students opt for a job rather than pursuing higher studies.
VIT has the added advantage of being in Pune so if you ever face this situation, choose VIT over WCE. The preference order therefore is, PICT>VIT>WCE.
Which one should I choose, IT in Surathkal or MNNIT, Allahabad?
MNNIT Allahabad offers similar opportunities for IT and CSE branches. Other than a few subjects, the curriculum, faculty, and career opportunities are more or less the same for NIT Allahabad.
Though Surathkal is promising a better university life with beaches and all.
NIT Allahabad houses one of the country's biggest and brightest CSE departments. Here you're getting a good, competitive, and coding-oriented environment. Seniors are very supportive and the course is good. But the location is quite remote so if you belong to a metro city, you will be disappointed with the city life.
In terms of placements, both institutes are almost on the same level.

Another important aspect you can factor in while choosing is the distance of the institute from your home and choose the nearlest.
What should be my AIR in JEE Mains to get a B.Tech in IT at IIIT Allahabad?
It has been ranked among top 100 best engineering colleges in India by NIRF, 2020. So clearly getting into IIIT-A will be quite difficult. The latest statistics show that you must be ranked below 5K in IIT-JEE Main in order to get into B.Tech in IT if you fall under OBC category. This margin falls down to 400 if you belong to the general category.
Detailed category wise closing ranks of previous year for B.Tech IT is given in the table below:

Looking at the general trends of the cut-off list of previous year, it is safer to score above 96-98% in your boards and fall under top 500 students in JEE Main.
Should I prefer an IT in the IIIT Allahabad or CSE in the MNIT Jaipur having a rank of 5k?
You should prefer IT at IIIT Allahabad. It has a great IT culture. You will have unlimited opportunities to develop skills in coding, app development, web development, game development, etc. The course structure includes core IT subjects from the first year itself. The coding culture on campus is excellent. Students of IIIT Allahabad dominate popular coding forums such as ACM-ICPC, Codechef, and Spoj.
The recent highlights of IIIT Allahabad show the average and highest CTC to be INR 21.85 LPA and INR 61.65 LPA.
Which is a better option, IT IIEST Shibpur or CSE at IEM?
Here is some information to assist you in choice-making-
Snapdeal, Amazon, Google, etc. visit IIEST Shibpur and offer equal placement opportunities to both IT and CSE students. My roommate from IT got into Snapdeal through campus placement.
IEM isn’t a well-known college. It is a local college unlike IIEST, which is an institute of national importance. The campus size of IEM is very small. Big companies don’t usually visit small colleges like IEM.
The college tag has a value of its own. Besides, the opportunities and exposure offered by IIEST are immense.
Thus, I would recommend you opt for IT at IIEST Shibpur.
I am interested in programming, algorithms, etc. So what will be good for me: IIIT-Allahabad IT or IIIT-Delhi CSE?
If you are given a choice between IIITA and IIITD, take admission in IIIT Delhi hands down. You will never regret it. IIIT Delhi has everything that a good IT institution needs i.e. Great faculty, excellent domestic and international placements, and an overall great experience.

IIIT DELHI
The cut-off for admission at IIITD ranges from 16694-28261. IIITD has a great set of faculty members and the curriculum is excellent.IIITD lacks diversity. With around 85% of the student community belonging to Delhi, it isn't catering to a pan-Indian audience. IIIT-Delhi students seemed frustrated with the workload and students are left with deadlines every single day and thus have no life out of academics.
IIIT Allahabad
The candidate must have cleared the JEE Mains. The cut off for admission at IIITA ranges from 1291-5330. IIITA has a great coding environment. Faculty is not up to the mark.
They both have a good curriculum but IIIT Delhi has so much more to offer. So If I were you, I would definitely choose IIITD.
What should I choose? CSE from "KIIT University" or IT from "College of Engineering and Technology, Bhubaneswar"?
It is suggested you choose CSE at KIIT University. One of my friends studied there. According to him, there is no comparison between the branch of KIIT CSE and CET.
- The companies visiting KIIT include major names such as Microsoft, Amazon, SAP, Dell, Intel, HP.
- Placements are one of the things you must check before entering a university. KIIT offers good investments.
- The entire academic and non-academic exposure at KIIT is far greater.
- The faculty members are qualified from IITs and top NITs. They are skilled and cooperative.

The program applies to CSE, except that in the first semester you have to study biology. KIIT develops practical applications for students as well as the theory of study.
Should I pursue IT at IIIT Allahabad, considering that I posses no experience in programming?
Coding is an important part of the IT culture at IIIT-A. But more than 75% of freshers have little to no experience in programming. The programming basics that one learns during the 10th-12th class are all taught in the first semester of the course. During the first year, students are taught the basics- Functions, Pointers, Linked Lists, Data Structures, Object Oriented Programming, etc.
It is your consistent efforts and undying spirit that will allow you to slowly learn and enhance your coding skills. IIIT-A has a wonderful coding culture that will draw you toward coding.
The programming courses during the first year use C. The language is extensive and does take a good amount of time to get a hold of. You may take a few online courses on C language to prepare for this journey. There are numerous online resources available using which you can grasp the basics of this language.
Therefore, you should pursue IT from IIIT-A even if you have no experience in programming.
