Why are common people not so familiar with MNNIT (NIT Allahabad) although it has an average CSE package of more than 10 LPA?

This highly depends on which field you are from. MNNIT Allahabad is quite popular in the programming community. When it comes to the common man, since they are not much into the programming culture, it is quite possible that they might not be aware of the college.

Even when it comes to media like newspapers and television, usually it’s the IITs that are highly spoken about and there is nothing much about MNIT and every other NIT perhaps. If you are worried about your placements with regards to this, don’t stress. Companies do know about the potential of the college and hence provide very good packages to students.

In fact, the college should be more popular among companies than the common people. You do not need to worry about this.
