Entrance Preview :
I have chosen JEE-Mains examination which I had appeared in 2013 and secured the rank of 23104. I belong to OBC category. This also helped me to get into IIIT-A. As I was majorly interested in the field of IT and after my results out from JEE Mains I explored various universities and found IIIT Allahabad as the best university which would help me to achieve my dream.
Course Curriculum Overview :
The curriculum is too good for an aspiring engineer in the respective field of Information Technology. Staring with basic courses moving to advanced level, teaching practice not only focuses theoretical way but also mostly in a practical way where we would be asked to do projects in each semester. And from the third year, we would be given choice to pick up electives based on our interest. Some of the electives I had picked during my graduation were Data Mining and Warehousing, Natural Language Process. We are also allowed to pick up research-based projects during our minor and major projects.

They allow MNC's to come to the universities, pick students for internship. The stipend for two months internship and 6 months internship would be same on monthly basis. The general stipend for most of the companies would be around 20k-30k. The overall experience of my intern is satisfactory and great experience in learning new this. I have done the internship in a startup. So, I could tell my experience in detail. It basically depends on which company you are choosing to for internship based on what interests.
