Is IIIT Una better than Thapar Institute Patiala?
Thapar institute has been established way before IIIT Una and over this period of time has created a great alumni network working at different positions worldwide. The faculty in Thapar Currently has over 20+ years of experience and is well known among the students.
On the other hand, IIIT Una is a newly established IIIT and the problem with this is that it still does not even have its own campus. IIIT Una is operating under NIT Hamirpur; this leads to the problem of no classes to fit all these students of both different Universities together. The classes get clashed, labs are not enough and faculty has a hard time coping up. This creates chaos on campus, which results in lower placement.
Here are the recent placement highlights at the institutes.
