If I am interested in Programming should I choose ECE at IIIT Allahabad or IIIT Bangalore, if yes which one should I prefer IIIT A or B? (Of course I am not getting CSE in good college)

If you are interested in programming, you can definitely go for IIIT Allahabad and IIIT Bangalore. According to my friends studying there, they both have an excellent coding culture.

The points below give a brief overview of the present coding culture of IIIT Bangalore, which will increase the level of interest for a programming geek in the institute.

• In IIIT Bangalore, there are two functional autonomous student bodies- Club for Algorithms Maths and Programming (CAMP) and Zense.
• The CAMP focuses on competitive coding, which is for participation in ACM ICPC, also known as the Olympics of programming.
• This club has been operational since 2017 and works under the esteemed guidance of instructors of Data Structure and Algorithms.
• IIIT Bangalore, Hyderabad, and Allahabad are the only IIITs who were successful in entering the world finals of ICPC.
• Zense focuses more on open source contribution and software development. It helps prepare for GSoC (Google Summer of Code) and RGSoC (Rails Girls Summer of Code), and also for other national and international level hackathons.
• Some of the hackathons that Zense students have succeeded in include Wipro Digital Hackathon, Civic Hackathonby Janaagraha Foundation, IIM Bangalore policy hackathon, etc.

Therefore, even being in a nascent stage, students from IIIT Bangalore enjoy the top-level programming culture and so, there are huge scopes for such geeks in the institute.
