According to the experience of one of my friends who studied at IIIT Vadodara, the college is working under the temporary campus of GEC, Gandhi Nagar.

• The infrastructure is not as welcoming as any other college having a permanent campus.
• The academics in IIIT Vadodara is mostly industry-oriented with a bunch of qualified faculty members who prepare students for facing their professional front in the future.
• The fests at IIIT Vadodara are increasing day by day. These fests are known across the country for the diversity of students that they witness which helps to interact with students of the same interest.
• Many prestigious companies take part in placement drives that normally give chances to students to get placed.

According to the recent placement report, we can summarize the data as shown below:

Thus we can conclude that, though the infrastructure of the college is not very welcoming to the students but provides quality education along with the overall development and placement facilities.

Among the above two institutes, LNMIIT Jaipur is a better choice, considering several factors like quality of education, placements, etc. I have a few friends from LNMIIT Jaipur, so I think I can give you a fair idea about the academics at LNMIIT.

Following is a table of comparison between the two institutes.

• LNMIIT Jaipur is a much more well-known and established institute, compared to IIIT Vadodara, which is a much newer institute too.
• The quality of education in LNMIIT Jaipur is higher than that of IIIT Vadodara. There are better quality faculties and an updated syllabus followed in LNMIIT.
• The placement statistics also clarify that LNMIIT Jaipur is much ahead of IIIT Vadodara in this aspect.
• There is an excellent coding culture in LNMIIT. Students from the institute participate in various national and international competitions and hackathons.
• The only disadvantage of LNMIIT Jaipur, when compared to IIIT Vadodara, is its high fees. As evident from the above table, the total fee of LNMIIT Jaipur is almost double that of IIIT Vadodara.

In both institutes, CSE is the first preferable stream. Other streams are not that good in offering opportunities in internships and placements to students.

Considering the above points, it is clear that LNMIIT Jaipur is definitely the better choice among the two institutes.

Some of my friends studied CSE from SGSITS, so I might be able to share some details about SGSITS. But I can provide the basic information of IIIT Vadodara, as I am not very familiar with the college.

• The CSE department at SGSITS is about 30 years old.
• The student intake of the CSE department is 90. Most of the students of the general category are MPPET toppers.
• The HOD, Professor Mehta is considered to be the best Operating Systems teacher in India.
• At IIIT Vadodara, you will get to learn coding from scratch. It will be helpful for those who do not come from a CSE background.
• At IIIT Vadodara you will get the IIIT tag, which could prove to be valuable during interviews, but not always.

If you work hard, you can easily secure a job during the placement program. Top companies like Microsoft, Deloitte, Mu Sigma, SAP, Mindtree, Wipro, ZS Associates, L&T, Morgan Stanley, etc. take part in the placement program of both colleges. They also offer deserving candidates internship opportunities, during their 3rd year. Ultimately it is your choice and priority that will help you decide which college to get admitted in.

CSE at IIIT Vadodara is definitely a better option than CSE at Nirma University.

• Nirma University offers Computer Engineering while IIT Vadodara offers CSE which draws a fine line of difference for the CSE aspirants.
• IIIT Vadodara provides a distinguished course and curriculum. Students in other colleges are exposed only to mainstream engineering subjects. In contrast to them, IIIT Vadodara is parallel to that of IIIT-H, offering core courses from the beginning of the first year itself.
• IIIT-V provides students with an exceptional background in coding which is not likely presented at Nirma. Students take part in competitive coding on sites such as HackerRank, CodeChef, etc. Each year several students get selected for GSoC from IIIT-V.
• The faculty here is highly qualified with most of the professors holding Ph.D. degrees from renowned institutes. They are cooperative and provide proper guidance to the students. Daiict is the mentor institute of IIIT Vadodara. Many faculties pay their visit from Daiict.
• The placement opportunities are decent at IIIT-V. Students get internship opportunities from Atos, TCS, etc.
• In spite of not owning a permanent campus, the facilities provided at IIIT-V are satisfactory. The basic requirements such as proper AC labs and classrooms are fulfilled here.
• IIIT-V is known for conducting regular technical workshops.
• The hostel facilities at IIIT-V are better in comparison to other colleges.
• More importance is given to academics due to which co-curricular activities are few.

The ‘IIIT’ tag has influence therefore opting for IIIT Vadodara would be better than opting for Nirma University.

It’s better to look for options other than IIIT Vadodara for an M. Tech at CSE. Your IIIT degree from here would be a waste of a huge amount of money. A degree from IIIT-V would not help you in landing a 7 LPA job at the very least.

They do not own a proper college building. Be it infrastructure, labs, or assistant lecturers that have graduated from the same institutes, all are below average. The placement opportunities are as good as non-existent.

I have a few friends at the institute and according to them, M.Tech students are quite neglected. They are not even allotted permanent hostel rooms. This is a case in all the new IIITs. Therefore, you should avoid opting for the new IIITs as they do not have a campus of their own. You have the choice of taking a year drop and prepare for GATE. Evaluate your options and go for an institution that provides a guaranteed opportunity for good placements.

Having friends in both the institutions, I can help you with your question. Let us compare the colleges on the basis of some factors.

Campus -

• Among IIIT Naya Raipur and IIIT Vadodara, the former is much better than the latter.
• IIIT Naya Raipur has its own campus, including well-maintained academic blocks, hostels, canteen, and other facilities.
• IIIT Vadodara does not have a permanent campus yet.

Academics: IIIT Naya Raipur has a better-advanced curriculum. It is designed to prepare students for competitive examinations like GATE, CAT, etc.

Placements and Alumni:

• As IIIT Vadodara is a little older than IIIT Naya Raipur, they have a little bit of reach when it comes to placements and alumni.
• But IIIT Naya Raipur being a new establishment has also caught the attention of many top recruiting companies.

Coding Culture: Both are equal here. Guidance is not provided by the colleges. Students take the initiative to build themselves up.

Lastly, It is suggested that if you are interested in coding and placement, you can opt for IIIT Vadodara. But for overall learning and development, you can choose IIIT Naya Raipur.

You have to decide based on the field in which you are passionate. There is not much difference in the curriculum framework since both are IIITs.

• In your first year, you will be studying the same core subjects be it IT or ECE branch.
• In your second year, IIIT Guwahati offers a lot of research opportunities if you are into it.
• You have a chance to opt for a project matching your field of interest out of numerous ones in the lot.
• You will be allocated under a professor who will guide you out throughout the process.
• Students at IIIT Guwahati have won numerous techno competitions not only in India but globally.
• Few research papers from the institute have also got recognition globally.
• Entire campus is facilitated with a high-speed internet connection.
• College even encourages its students to actively participate in extracurricular activities.
• There are various programming clubs which conduct seminars where top national and international guest lecturers are invited.
• Hostel facility is pretty decent too.
• The food offered at the campus is amazing, apart from that you also have 24*7 canteen facilities.

You even have an opportunity to change your branch based on your performance in your first and second semesters at IIIT Guwahati which makes the course really flexible.
