The Director of IIT Gandhinagar, Dr. Sudhir Jain as some say “Man with brilliant ideas”.

• An incredible and dynamic person with a different aura of authority around him, he holds very different views of working and managing from the others. He believes rules and regulations are meant to make someone carve a better person out of oneself, thus he imposes rules which can be a little out of the book.
• A man with critical listening skills, he outright listens to students and tries to solve their problems. The college has a legislative student body that consults him regarding different issues. He does not directly give orders courses ideas given by the student body itself. 
• Dr. Sudhir’s great oratory skills inspire and motivate many people. He has a flair towards extracurricular activities and always gives his students the freedom to form or join any kind of club or society which tends to go a long way for the holistic development of students. 

His undistinguishable nature makes him such a great mentor. There aren't any restrictions for girls from going out of the hostel like any other college. He believes if boys are entitled to freedom, so are girls.

IIT BHU and IIT Gandhinagar both are decent IITs. IIT Gandhinagar has a better NIRF ranking as compared to IIT BHU. Although IIT BHU has a lot of Engineering courses to offer, the overall infrastructure and environment are not as conducive as IIT Gandhinagar. Also, the recent year’s cutoffs are comparably higher for IIT Gandhinagar.

Furthermore, IIT Gandhinagar has a unique and distinctive “Foundation Program” which helps students get acquainted with academic life and college environment. Besides, the faculty of IIT GN is also among the best. On the contrary, there is a shortage of faculty members in many branches (including Civil Engineering) at IIT BHU.

The campus location of IIT Gandhinagar is also comparably better as compared to IIT BHU. It is pertinent to note that the campus of IIT BHU is merged with BHU, which makes the campus a crowded place for students. Also, the placement scenario in both the colleges is almost at the same level.

Although IIT BHU being much older than IIT Gandhinagar, offers a huge alumni base. IIT GN might be considered a new IIT by many, but the progress that it has shown is humongous. It also provides a conducive environment for research scholars and has an overhauled infrastructure (including labs). Both colleges have their pros and cons, so it is hard to choose one institute over the other.

You should go to IIT Gandhinagar. That being said, if you have obtained the CSE degree course at Gandhinagar, then the most probable rank you ought to have is under 1800, since the closing rank is around 1800–1900. In that case, you can opt to go for other old IITs’ by compromising with the branch. You will get far better students at old IITs, which can be a plus side to your personal development and further enhancement.

For the most part, the problem with the new IITs is that they lack to provide a greater established alumni network and good infrastructure. However, since IIT Gandhinagar was established back in 2008, you can expect decent infrastructure and facilities.
