Bachelor of Technology [B.Tech] (Information Technology) From IIIT Vadodara, Gandhinagar

If you have a choice between IIIT Vadodara and any other well-established NIT or IIIT for a Btech in CSE/IT, you should go for the latter as IIIT Vadodara lacks proper infrastructure and resources. However, studying B.tech in CSE at IIIT Vadodara is a rigorous course that offers different course content from other colleges, making students good engineers. The professors put in equal amounts of hard work to deliver their content in a professional manner, and there are ample resources available online for students. 

IIIT Vadodara is a good option as it provides exposure to both theory and industrial practice, and the institute has improved immensely. The placements are also getting better, with tech giants recognizing IIIT Vadodara and aiding in projects through developer student clubs and Mozilla student club

You have to decide based on the field in which you are passionate. There is not much difference in the curriculum framework since both are IIITs.

• In your first year, you will be studying the same core subjects be it IT or ECE branch.
• In your second year, IIIT Guwahati offers a lot of research opportunities if you are into it.
• You have a chance to opt for a project matching your field of interest out of numerous ones in the lot.
• You will be allocated under a professor who will guide you out throughout the process.
• Students at IIIT Guwahati have won numerous techno competitions not only in India but globally.
• Few research papers from the institute have also got recognition globally.
• Entire campus is facilitated with a high-speed internet connection.
• College even encourages its students to actively participate in extracurricular activities.
• There are various programming clubs which conduct seminars where top national and international guest lecturers are invited.
• Hostel facility is pretty decent too.
• The food offered at the campus is amazing, apart from that you also have 24*7 canteen facilities.

You even have an opportunity to change your branch based on your performance in your first and second semesters at IIIT Guwahati which makes the course really flexible.

One of my seniors was a student of IIIT Vadodara and he praised how academics were carried out in the institute. The faculty in the institute is highly qualified and has a lot of experience in the field they are teaching. They have PhDs from premier universities. IIIT Vadodara grants admission to applicants based on their applications.

IIIT Vadodara is popular because of its CSE and IT programs. In addition to that, the institute also offers courses in management and ones related to business which also attracts its fair share of applicants. However, if you want to study hardware and CS in theory, you will probably be disappointed.

The institute is currently in operation from the GEC campus which is Gandhinagar, Gujarat. IIIT Vadodara is very popular for its coding culture and has a reputation for recruiting companies like ICICI Bank, Mathworks, and Amazon.

You should go with IIITs in any case as they are the better choice. You will be studying with some of the top students in the country who have managed to secure a rank under 35000. You will be exposed to a great study atmosphere and competition.

You cannot get this sort of exposure in local private colleges (with some exceptions) where several students get admission through management quota. Most of them are also from rich and well-to-do families who are just looking to secure a degree.

To be honest, you cannot compare an institute of national importance with a state-level private college. You should not underestimate the academics of colleges due to the absence of a permanent campus or infrastructure.

A lot of the students from these colleges have a really good caliber and the potential to gain international recognition without the support of the college administration.
