There are no specific criteria as such to decide whether a college has surpassed another or not. The rankings offered by different councils, don’t matter much and are somewhat considered irrelevant too. In general, people have an overall perception in mind, in which IITs are the best, followed by NITs and some well-known IIITs, and some IISc and BITS.
Comparison: (Winning Institution - IIIT Allahabad)
For the comparison of IIIT Allahabad and IIIT Lucknow, the former has made huge progress with time, and it is almost impossible for IIIT Lucknow to reach that level in the next 10-15 years. There is not much difference in location for the institutes too, so exposure will not be an advantage. In the best-case scenario, the gap in development between IIIT Allahabad and IIIT Lucknow may get reduced.
Both IIT Lucknow and BIT Mesra are reputed Institutes in India. Let us have a brief comparison of both colleges.
Campus Life – BIT Mesra has an incredible campus and infrastructure, but it is limited to the campus only, whereas IIT Lucknow has a large campus; you won’t get bored here, and Lucknow is a large city that has various destinations.
Coding Culture – IIT Lucknow has a rich coding culture and immense alumni support. MIT Mesra helps the students explore their skills and many giant recruiters visit the campus every year
Curriculum – IIT Lucknow follows the best curriculum system, which begins with the basics and explores the significant concepts in CSE.

So, it is evident from the placement statistics and other features that IIT Lucknow is far better than BIT Mesra.
Someone else's package doesn't guarantee that you'll also bag the same package. Out of mentioned options, NIT Patna is a better option not because of the 40 lakh package. The placement package had been offered by Adobe which is said to recruit 2 ladies each offering 20 lakh packages to each. But in 2018, Adobe hired a female student offering her 40 LPA package, which can be true or even wrong information. However, you should not take admission in NIT Patna just because someone bagged a 40 Lakh package. The package will depend on your dedication during the course. It will help you easily earning a 6-8 LPA package.

While there is no doubt that NIT Patna is an old institution, yet it lacks some of the basic facilities such as hostels and open spaces. The campus is quite small as compared to other engineering colleges. So, it does not feel like a proper campus to some students as they have to spend 4 years there.
In the present time, a mega hostel is being constructed but it is outside the campus. The locality surrounding the campus is very unpleasant.The good thing is that the campus is located beside Ganga, having some modern and beautiful ghats. The management and staff are strict and less creative.
On an overall scale, IIIT Lucknow is a good option, despite being a new institute. Although, all three of these institutes are reputed. While choosing one of these, you should prioritize your choice of branch.
These advantages make IIIT Lucknow a good choice.
IIIT Lucknow shifted to its own campus in 2019. Initially, it was mentored by IIIT Allahabad. On the new campus, the infrastructure and facilities offered are up-to-date. Students are offered access to modern technology, and amenities. Students are given hostel accommodation. The labs are equipped with the latest equipment and facilities.
This is true that the only reason IIIT Lucknow has great placements is simply because of IIIT Allahabad. It can be explained with the help of the following points:
If you are concerned about the fact that it would affect IIIT Lucknow once they shift, the straight answer to this is YES! With this, it is going to get difficult to expect companies to show up.
Many of my friends have graduated from both IIIT Jabalpur and IIIT Lucknow. According to them, IIIT Jabalpur is much better than IIIT Lucknow. Here’s sharing some of them:

Thus it is suggested you go for IIIT Jabalpur rather than opting for IIIT Lucknow. Ultimately it is completely your decision.
For placements, IIIT Lucknow will be bast. But if you are interested in Mechanical then MNNIT Allahabad will be a better option. Although you should keep in mind that from the future perspective Mechanical will be a risky choice. Jobs are very less in the core sector and the package will be less. The competition is also quite high in both the public and private sectors.
Here are the recent placement statistics of the institutes.
Parameters | IIIT Lucknow | MNNIT Allahabad |
Average CTC | 18 LPA | 10 LPA |
Highest CTC | 43 LPA | 49 LPA |
But in the case of the CSE branch, you will surely get a job with a decent package. You can also change jobs between different companies as there are many opportunities available as IT is a booming sector at present.
The answer is YES, it is fully functional. Earlier IIIT Lucknow was dependent on the faculty and labs of IIIT Allahabad for the academics, but now, IIIT Lucknow regulates its own academic activities, organizes its own coding workshops. The classes also used to be run in the temporary campus situated in the lecture theatre of IIIT Allahabad. But from the academic year 2019-2020 itself, IIIT Lucknow has shifted itself to the newly made independent campus and has adopted the coding culture as in IIIT Allahabad.
IIIT Lucknow will have its item placements which will differ from IIIT Allahabad without a doubt. Because IIIT Lucknow is a newly made campus, chances are that few of the companies may not visit the campus regarding campus placements. But during the 4 years after which you will pass out, IIIT Lucknow may establish itself as a lead engineering institution and attract good placement packages. It solely depends on your hard work during the course and your calibre.
