Which is better, IIIT Vadodara or the government engineering college, Aurangabad?

As per my sister’s experience at IIIT Vadodara, despite being a newly established one, it is a better choice than Government Engineering College, Aurangabad. GECA Aurangabad has, unfortunately, lost its touch when compared to the other old institutes. The faculty in the college does not have the relevant experience. Some of them do not even have post-graduate degrees. During the placement process, no product-based companies visited the campus and the students ended up getting placed in jobs with low packages. IIIT Vadodara, on the contrary, was mentored by the Dhirubhai Ambani Institute of Information and Communication Technology (DAIICT). It is one of the best institutes for IT in the country. The students can get ample exposure to technology and gain experience in both field and professional activities with the help of experts from industries who engage in mentoring the students. IIIT Vadodara is rapidly improving.
