Are IIIT Allahabad and IIIT Delhi better than NIT K, W, T (comparing CS and IT)?

JS

Studied at Indraprastha Institute of Information Technology, Delhi (2020)

If you had specified the parameters on which you are judging the institute, it would have been easier to answer the question. In terms of quality of education, the two IIITs are better than the three NITs. 

Given below is a brief comparison of the institutes based on various parameters. You can make your decision based on that. 

Faculty:(IIIT Delhi > Top NITs ~ IIIT Allahabad)

IIIT Delhi has the best faculty. Even top NITs don’t come close to IIIT Delhi in terms of faculty. 

Campus Life: (Top 3 NITs > IIIT Allahabad > IIIT Delhi)

The top 3 NITs offer better campus life. As compared to NITs the workload of IIIT Delhi is too much. IIIT Delhi also does not have as many clubs and societies as top NITs. NIT campuses are also bigger in comparison. 

Hostels: (Winning Institute - IIIT Delhi)

  • IIIT Delhi has better hostel facilities as compared to any other Govt. college or even some IITs for that matter. In summer you will get air conditioning and a heater in winter at IIIT Delhi. There are also sports facilities like Foosball and Swimming Pool, etc. 
  • Other facilities available at IIIT Delhi are quite similar to that of NITs and IIIT Allahabad.

Placements: (IIIT Delhi ~ Top NITs ~ IIIT Allahabad)

In terms of placements, IIIT Delhi matches the placement statistics of top NITs. A student of IIIT Delhi has recently secured a placement package of 1.45 Crore. The average package of the institute mentioned in the question is around 15-17 lakhs (for CSE). 

Location: (IIIT Delhi > Top 3 NITs ~ IIIT Allahabad)

  • IIIT Delhi enjoys the benefit of being situated in the capital. The city life, start-up culture, and many internship opportunities are some of the perks of attending IIIT Delhi. 
  • Whereas, the top 3 NITs are situated in small cities. IIIT Allahabad is also located in Prayagraj, which does not offer a good city life or enough exposure. 

But whether you will like the campus or not depends on your background. If you are from South India, life in Delhi or Prayagraj may not be that appealing and vice versa. 

Reputation & Alumni Base: (Top 3 NITs > IIIT Delhi > IIIT Allahabad) 

  • The top NITs have more recognition among the recruiting companies due to their legacy. IIIT Delhi is a fairly new establishment in comparison. Even though it is growing at a rapid pace, it is still up to the standard of the top NITs. 
  • The alumni base of the top 3 NITs is also better due to the same reason. 

If you are genuinely interested in coding, you should choose IIIT Delhi or IIIT Allahabad. Otherwise don’t go for IIITs.

Should I opt for IIIT Delhi or MNNIT Allahabad for a CSE M.Tech?

RM
Raj Mukherjee Posted On : April 30th, 2021
Lives in Allahabad, Uttar Pradesh, India

The Alumni network is the most important factor of placement statistics and MNNIT Allahabad has one of the best alumni networks.

Delhi provides you with nightlife whereas Allahabad does not. Allahabad is not a metropolitan city like Delhi. If you want these two things, MNNIT is not for you. But it will definitely provide you with great learning opportunities. You can enjoy yourself a lot with your friends, more than you expect. Hence, it does not become less enjoyable just because it lacks nightlife and the tag of a metropolitan city.

Particulars

MNNIT Allahabad

IIIT Delhi

Highest Package

29.16 LPA

36 LPA

Average Package

11.8 LPA

16.29 LPA

Transportation matters a lot when it comes to placement drive. HR of reputed MNCs don’t have enough time to travel via road or train for recruitment purposes. Despite not having an airport before, MNNIT Allahabad has managed to keep its placement statistics outstanding. 

For CSE the most popular choices among students are as follows. 

  1. IIIT Hyderabad
  2. NIT Trichy
  3. NIT Warangal
  4. MNNIT Allahabad
  5. IIIT Allahabad

So, CSE from MNNIT is one of the best. You can definitely consider it as a valid option.

The answer to this question depends on how you can cope with zealous competition after joining college. If you are confident that you can join the brawl and top in your first year, I would highly recommend taking MSc in Economics at BITS Goa Pilani. 

Pros
  • BITS Pilani has been ranked among top 30 institutes in NIRF Ranking 2020. 
  • In your 2nd year, you can choose a B.E. course according to your first year CGPA, including the highly coveted CSE program.

If you do not want to take a risk, choosing IT at NIT Surathkal is the best option for you. Since the syllabus almost corresponds to that of CSE and the infrastructure is mind-blowing at the campus.

What is better, IIIT Hyderabad ECE or IIIT Allahabad/IIIT Delhi CSE?

AG
Aman Gupta Posted On : March 21st, 2023
Computer science from Indraprastha Institute of Information Technology, Delhi (2024)

 If you're trying to decide between IIIT Delhi and IIIT Allahabad, know that IIIT Delhi is better in many ways. 

However, it's true that both IIIT Delhi and IIIT Allahabad aren't as good as IIIT Hyderabad at the moment. That being said, don't be surprised to see IIITD catching up soon, given its impressive progress over the years. In fact, IIITD has nearly doubled its campus size this year, and as a government university, the facilities and infrastructure are shocking - indoor heated swimming pool, stylish buildings and hostels, and awesome wifi speed.

Ultimately, whether to choose ECE or CSE depends entirely on your interests.

It's worth noting that IIIT Hyderabad's ECE program is superior to both IIIT Delhi's CSE program and IIIT Allahabad's CSE program.
