Is the I.T. course in IIIT Allahabad different from the CSE course taught in other similar colleges?

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.
