No, IIIT Pune is not better than NIT Kurukshetra. In fact, its unfavorable location has affected the reputation of the college adversely. The institute is nowhere bear Pune city but it's situated in a typical Maharashtrian village. The institute lacks basic amenities such as transport, daily goods, and electricity supply.
