Studied at Indian Institute of Information Technology, Allahabad

The placement record for IIIT Allahabad is overall quite good. But if you are an M.Tech student looking for placements at IIIT Allahabad, that could prove to be a little difficult. A few companies do not allow M. Tech students to appear for placements.

However, looking at the placement statistics of the college, about 125 different companies come to visit IIIT Allahabad annually. Of these, maybe around 20 to 30 companies do not allow M.Tech students but this is manageable. However, around 10 to 15 companies only come to hire M. Tech students.

Here is a brief overview of the overall placement statistics for the institute.

Should I try for ECE at IIIT Allahabad or ECE at MNIT Jaipur?

AS
Ayush Sharma Posted On : June 29th, 2021
B.Tech Computer Science, Malaviya National Institute of Technology, Jaipur (2020)

IIIT Allahabad and MNIT Jaipur are institutes of national importance. But if you like coding, it's not wise to search for options in ECE. ECE is a hardware-related program dealing with communication, whereas CS deals with software.

For the NIT tag, you can choose SVNIT. Among the IIITs, the best will be IIIT Bangalore ad it provides the best research opportunities. But, the best choice as per your interest is B.Tech Hons. Computational Sciences from DA-IICT.

The reasons are below.

  • The institute is famous for its coding culture. A team from the institute had recently qualified for ACM ICPC World Finals.
  • CS opens the gates for research opportunities if you are inclined.

The fee and placement of DA-IICT are as follows.

Tuition Fee

7.28 Lakhs

Average Package

10.16 LPA

Highest Package

39.3 LPA

Overall, DA-IICT is worth joining for the CS program. It will reap excellent results.

Can someone from IIIT Lucknow upgrade to IIIT Allahabad after 1 year?

AS
Atanu Sen Posted On : July 2nd, 2021
B.Tech from Indian Institute of Information Technology, Allahabad (2019)

IIIT Lucknow and IIIT Allahabad are two different institutes altogether and there aren’t any options to change from one to the other after 1 year. So, no you cannot upgrade to IIIT Allahabad from IIIT Lucknow after 1 year.

IIIT Lucknow was established recently and it does not have its own campus ready in Lucknow yet. So it is using the IIIT Allahabad campus as its temporary campus. The students of IIIT Lucknow are thus treated equally in the same league as IIIT Allahabad. They share almost every facility but that does not mean you can change your college entirely after 1 year.

Indian Institute of Information Technology, Allahabad (2020)

To know which institution to be preferred, let us start with the rankings of both of them. #48th is the ranking of MNNIT by NIRF for the year 2020 and on the other hand #103 is the ranking of IIIT Allahabad by NIRF for the same year. Now you can see some other factors to decide which institution can be preferred over the other.

Admissions

MNNIT:

  • It is necessary to complete 10+2 in Science stream and acquiring a minimum of 75% marks in the examination.
  • JEE MAINis the entrance exam for the institution.
  • 1st-yearfee for the institution isRs 84,666
  • General students’ cut-off for other state is from 3133 to 4986 and for home state it is starting from 4057 and ending at 5697.

IIIT Allahabad:

  • With PCM as the subject, the candidate has to complete 10+2 acquiring a minimum of 60%.
  • JEE Mainis considered as the entrance exam for the institution.
  • ? 143,700 is the first year fee for the IT course.
  • General students’ cut-off starts from 1291 and ends at 5330 (in the year 2019)

Some basic highlights about the institutions are as follows:

MNNIT Allahabad

IIIT Allahabad

Highest salary offered

36 LPA

Average salary offered

12.97 LPA

15.12 LPA

Total Number of companies visited

Placements:

IIIT Delhi:

  • The placement rate of the institute is 95%.
  • Some of the top recruiters of the institutions are Adobe, Google, Microsoft, Linkedin, Zomato, Walmart Labs, Zendrive, CodeNation, Arista Networks, Cisco Systems, Juniper Networks, etc.

MNNIT Allahabad:

  • The placement rate of MNNIT Allahabad is 95.56%.

Now based on all the above-mentioned data, the candidate can compare and come to the conclusion. Other factors that can be made into considerations are city life (which will be almost equivalent for both of them), faculties (highly qualified teachers are there in both the institutions), campus life, hostel facilities, etc. But at the end of the day, it is the subject and the interests of the students that matters for a successful future. IT is a good subject regarding future and the candidate can choose whichever institution suits him/her better.

What should I choose: software engineering at DTU or IT at IIIT Allahabad?

SA
Subham Agarwal Posted On : April 12th, 2023
Indian Institute of Information Technology, Allahabad

When it comes to choosing a stream for higher education, it's important to follow your interests and passions. Ultimately, the decision should be yours alone, and you should choose the stream that you feel most excited and enthusiastic about pursuing.

If you're considering IT or software engineering, there are a number of factors to take into account when making your decision. Here are some key points to consider:

  • Interest: Consider what subject matter excites you the most, and what you can see yourself studying and working in for the next few years.
  • Curriculum and faculty: Look for programs that have up-to-date and relevant coursework, as well as faculty members who are experts in the field and can provide valuable insights and guidance.
  • Reputation: The reputation of a program can also play a role in your decision-making process. Consider the standing of the institution and the program within the industry, and look for programs that have a strong track record of producing successful graduates.
  • Placements: Finally, placement opportunities should also be a consideration. Look for programs that have a strong track record of placing graduates in desirable jobs within the industry.

With all of these factors in mind, it's worth noting that if you were in a position to choose between IT at IIIT Allahabad and software engineering at DTU, you might lean towards IT at IIITA. This is because IIIT Allahabad has one of the best CS faculty in all of India, which could provide a valuable learning experience and open doors to a wider range of career opportunities.

Additionally, the IT sector is known for offering great placement opportunities, which can be a key consideration for many students when choosing a program.

What should I take, IT in IIIT Allahabad (5 years), ECE in IIIT Allahabad (5 years) or ECE in NIT Allahabad?

MT
Meghna Tiwari Posted On : June 1st, 2021
Studied Bachelor of Technology in Electronics and Communication Engineering at IIIT Allahabad (2019)

Among all the options you have mentioned, the one which you should actually consider is ECE in IIIT Allahabad for a duration of 5 years. 

The closing rank of IIIT Allahabad is better than ECE at NIT Allahabad and IT at IIIT Allahabad. ECE is best pursued at MNNIT Allahabad rather than IIIT Allahabad. But then I should also mention that IT is better for IIIT Allahabad than anywhere else. That's a fact.

If you have a knack for coding and it holds your concern, the environment that is accurate for a coding culture can be provided by IIIT Allahabad. 

Therefore, if coding and IT are your forte, a 5-year IT course at IIIT Allahabad is the one for you. The faculty there are experienced and carry specializations that guide you through your way. 

Look at the bigger picture which holds your future and then go for an aim. Choose such a specialization that ensures security to your future as well. 

But then, if you eventually want to settle on ECE, MNNIT is the right place.

Here is some information to assist you in choice-making-

IIT Dhanbad Mechanical is the best option among the three. This college has a rich legacy and a strong brand value. Apart from that, it offers good placements with brands like Tata visiting the campus for recruitment purposes. 

But if you have an interest in Electrical, you can opt for IIT Tirupati. Unlike before, the college is now functioning from its permanent campus. The permanent campus is destined to house 12,500 students. It is under construction in phases, but it already houses 1500+ students at present. 

Therefore, IIT Dhanbad Mechanical is the best choice. But if Electrical interests you, opt for IIT Tirupati Electrical.
