IT at IIIT Una is better than CS at KNIT Sultanpur. The reasons for the same are given below.

• Infrastructure - IIIT Una does not have its own campus yet. Currently, it is functioning from NIT Hamirpur campus. Thus IIIT Una students enjoy the same great facilities and the lush green campus as NIT Hamirpur students. KNIT Sultanpur has average to bad infrastructure.
• Locality - Again the temporary campus at NIT Hamirpur is much better than Sultanpur.
• Education - In this regard, both may be equal but owing to better facilities being provided by NIT Hamirpur, IIIT Una will be considered better. The fee is almost the same in both the colleges.

It is advisable to talk to some of the current as well as recent alumni of both the institutes to know the exact state of the colleges and their placement records. IIIT Una is still very new and evolving. KNIT is also a good option but looking at other things and the future growth potential IIIT Una should be preferred.

I have a few friends from IIIT Una, so I think I can give you some insights about the institute.

IIIT Una a newly established institute and is monitored by NIT Hamirpur. Both share the same campus, classes, hostels, etc. But they have separate placements.

Based on what I heard from my friend I will say it is not wise to choose such a new institute. But the decision is yours. Here are some parameters based on which you can judge the institute.

• Class schedule
• Library
• WiFi facility
• Peer group
• Funds allotted for various competitions
• College reputation

Here is a brief outline of the two institutes.

Hope this helps with your decision.

One of my friends graduated from IIIT Vadodara, I would suggest you go for IIIT Vadodara. Here are some reasons as to why this is my option:

• It has a very good Coding Culture and exciting fests since the beginning.
• Students have got a lot of success in competitions like GSOC and have many GCI Mentors as well.
• There are the newly started Developer Students Club (DSC) and CodeChef Campus Chapter(CCC) too, and also Summer of Learning(SoL). The coding Culture here is a lot better than in many other Colleges.
• The faculty is well qualified and highly experienced.
• IIITV is getting better in Placements year by year with great offers.

The only drawback at IIIT Vadodara is that there is no permanent campus, which will be built soon. Also, the 32km distance between campus and hostel is tiring.

Among IIIT Una and IET Lucknow, IT at IET Lucknow can be considered a better choice, mostly due to the reason of connectivity. There are several aspects that prefer an institute over the other in this case, some of which are listed below to help students make a decision.

• IET Lucknow is a much more established and well-known college among the two and is also top-notch in terms of infrastructure and facilities. It is one of the best institutes in Uttar Pradesh too.
• One prime disadvantage of IIIT Una is that it does not have a permanent campus to date. The classes and labs are held at the campus of NIT Hamirpur.
• Although the weather of Harimpur is much more soothing than that of Lucknow, the bad connectivity of Harimpur creates a lot of problems for students. For students of other states, it will take at least a day to reach home from the hostel of NIT Hamirpur.
• In terms of education and placement, both the institutes are almost at the same level.

IET Lucknow is preferred over the other for most students. If you want to experience the weather and scenery of Himachal Pradesh, IIIT Una is a good place.

One of my friends is a part of the institute and can put it in a better way. You might have been confused between the scholarship provided by the institute and the state scholarship.

He however has less information about states other than Uttar Pradesh, and for learning more about it, you should visit the main webpage of the institute and have the latest information.

There is a provision of an online scholarship portal for residents of Uttar Pradesh who are at present pursuing their courses outside the state. You can register on the portal typically by filing certain crucial details, your family income certificate and other essential documents as and when asked, in the IIIT Una administration, along with the printed form.

You can also connect with the seniors currently studying there, to get a proper insight into it.

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.

So, going by all these factors, it is safe to say IIIT Una is not better than Thapar.
