How do I apply for IIIT Allahabad?
It’s not normally an easy way to secure admission in IIIT Allahabad. Although just like all the other IIITs, there is no home reservation for the state students so it doesn’t actually matter which state you belong to.

It is always a good idea to revise from the last years’ question papers to get an idea of what exactly the paper looks like.

Should I choose 5 years (I.T. + robotics) at IIIT Allahabad or 5 years CSE at IIEST Shibpur?
There’s no doubts about the fact that 5 years at IIITA is a smarter option compared to anything else. This is because of the simple calculation that you are going to study the same curriculum for 4 years BTech for 3 years. That is all about the core of CS and IT. One core and two electives are a part of the fourth year in a 4-year BTech program, which hardly makes any difference.
According to the experts, Robotics is the future of the IT industry and hence, finding yourself in the midst of such an academically enriching atmosphere which ensures a full time access to a premium robotics laboratory and esteemed faculty will certainly do good to you in more ways than you can ever imagine. That’s the kind of right exposure you are looking at.
Moreover, this department at IIIT Allahabad is being funded by MHRD, thus having a lot of helpful and positive influence from the big academic and administrative circles from all over the country. A number of international conferences sponsored by IEEE are held here regularly. A DST funded summer school of robotics is also a part of this institute. IIIT Allahabad is known to have multiple MOUs with various popular foreign universities and has extensive student exchange programs to give the best exposure of the industry and experts to its students.
Which one should I choose, IIIT Allahabad (IT), MNIT Allahabad (IT), NIT Bhopal (CSE), or NIT Jalandhar (CSE)?
IIIT Allahabad is better than MNIT Allahabad if you are interested in coding. Although NITs and IIIT Allahabad both are centrally funded technical institutes. The only difference is the course curriculum as IIIT Allahabad focuses only on IT and ECE. Due to this, minor subjects like Chemistry, Applied Mechanics, Engineering Drawing are dropped in 1st and 2nd semester itself.
NITs have a long legacy making it more reputable with strong alumni across all domains. On the other hand, IIITA is a young institution and follows innovative academic policies. Its alumni members are even present in Silicon Valley in a short span of time.
You can decide your own priorities in the career. If you are interested in coding culture and look forward to great internships and placements with a small cozy campus, you should prefer IIIT Allahabad. You should opt for MNIT Allahabad if you are interested in meeting new people with diverse backgrounds. It will help you in enhancing your personality.
If you ask me, my vote goes for IIIT Allahabad on all these below parameters.
- College Life: IIIT Allahabad is an institute of national importance, and boasts one of the best campuses in the country. Whereas, MNNIT is not even on the edge.

IIIT Allahabad has placements in Google Mountain View/ Europe/ Australia/Japan from almost every Batch from the past 4-5 years. IIIT Allahabad was preferred by these companies because a lot of alumni already worked in these companies and better industry perception has been built up.
The strength in NIT-A is approximately twice as compared to IIIT-A. And every year this strength keeps increasing. As you know that the quality decreases with the increase in strength, I would again suggest you choose IIIT-A.

I was getting metallurgy in IIT Bhubaneswar and IT in IIIT Allahabad but I chose the latter. Was it a mistake ?
You didn’t make a mistake as long as you are pursuing the branch that you are interested in. IIIT Allahabad is surely a good choice. The tag of IIT offers certain advantages but Metallurgy as a branch has less scope as far as placements are concerned. According to 2019 placement statistics, there was a 90% placement from Metallurgy at IIT Bhubaneswar.
Information technology offers more job roles and scope. According to last year’s placement statistics of IIIT Allahabad, there were a total of 95% placements from this institute with an average package of Rs.15.5 lakhs. The highest package is Rs.39 lakhs. More than 120 recruiters came for campus placement from different sectors ranging from software to healthcare.
Overall, if information technology is the path that you wanted to pursue as a career, then definitely you made the right choice.
Which is the better option for me? Mtech IT from IIIT Allahabad or Mtech CSE from IIT(ISM) Dhanbad?
The first thing you should consider is whether you want to pursue a Ph.D. or want a job after the completion of the course. I have a few friends at IIT ISM and I can tell you there are very few good faculties for CSE if you want guidance regarding Ph.D.
For any information regarding the faculty and research projects of IIIT Allahabad, you can visit both their faculty profile page and set a legitimate comparison with IIT (ISM).
Here are some other parameters of IIT (ISM), which you may find useful.
Placements:
The job prospects are increasing every year and the change is noticeable since its conversion to IIT. The institute also had a new director from IIT Kanpur. There also was a significant change in the placement cell, and the M.Tech placement stats have been kept under consideration, alongside B.Tech only after that.
The latest stats are as follows,
|
No. of Students Placed |
31 out of 58 |
|
Average CTC |
INR. 14 LPA |
|
Highest CTC |
INR 43.31 LPA |
|
Top Recruiters |
Google, Amazon, Microsoft, Ernst & Young |
Moreover, the summer and 6-month internships have also been good over the past few years. For instance, the 2021 passing out batch has received several summer intern offers from companies like Goldman Sachs, Amazon, and Microsoft.
If you prepare for the coding session interviews from the beginning of the 1st year, then you are more likely to obtain internship opportunities. You can convert it to PPO before the placement season begins.
Other Parameters:
There is another thing you should consider. It is the number of students from either CSE or IT in B.Tech + M.Tech taking part in the placement season,
A total of 372 students participated in the placement drive from IIIT Allahabad while 203 participated from ISM Dhanbad.
However, there might not be a significant difference between companies that visit both institutes. Fewer participants in placements mean less competition.
So, I will suggest that you take all these factors into consideration and also do your own research. Consider other options too, if you have any.
Which is better, IIIT, Allahabad for ECE or NIT Durgapur for ECE if I have a general 12k rank in the JEE Mains?
Before deciding on any institute you should analyze it based on different parameters. Check if the college provides good facilities like hostels equipped with a good and stable internet connection, good food, satisfactory infrastructure, and the most important, a good campus placement drive. Both IIIT Allahabad and NIT Durgapur offer above-average facilities. Here is a brief outline of the institute.

If we look at the placement scenario closely, we can see that IIIT Allahabad has a better placement record and gets more companies. They also provide a higher package to their students. This does not make NIT Durgapur bad. Even NIT Durgapur provides good placements as well as opportunities for higher studies as well.
Both the colleges have a similar kind of course curriculum and nobody can force you to study.
It is not fair to compare the two universities because both of them are unique in themselves and have their charm. So, choose according to your convenience.
