Firstly you should decide which stream you want to go with and then look at the colleges for the same.
There are some parameters on which you should especially focus on which include an established brand with great recognition, placement history, and excellent startup culture. According to all these parameters, NIT Trichy is the best place for you. In the recent placement drive, the average CTC offered was 6 LPA.
On the other hand, IIITDM Kancheepuram offers a unique curriculum. It addresses the design and manufacturing issues faced by the industry. At the end of your course, you will be able to converse with the technical experts in your relevant field of study. Although IIITDM Kancheepuram is a new institute and doesn’t have a great placement record yet, it is growing in terms of its reach and brand value.
IIITDM Kancheepuram Mechanical is better in comparison. The department has four branches under the norms of Design and Manufacturing. The academics are practical-oriented. IIITDM follows an updated curriculum that is different from the traditional course structure of most engineering colleges. The Mechanical faculties are great. Most of them have PhDs qualifications from reputed IITs and NITs.
IIITDM Kancheepuram placements are good for Mechanical. Students of the branch get recruited as Project leads, Supervisors, Design Operators, etc. The average CTC for the branch is around INR 7 LPA.
Keeping in mind the academic environment and placement statistics, the following should be the preferences:
CSE at NIT Hamirpur, IIIT Jabalpur, NIT Jalandhar, and IIIT Kancheepuram.
ECE at NIT Hamirpur, ECE at NIT Jalandhar, IIIT Kancheepuram, and then IIIT Jabalpur.
Choose a college with a broadband internet connection in the hostels for CSE. In general, the faculty at all of these colleges will be mediocre, and you will be forced to rely on the internet for your education. Once the CSE and hostel broadband requirements have been met, consider which college is closer to home, near a city, and not in a country where you do not speak the native language.
IIITDM Kancheepuram is an institute of national importance and it has an advantage over the other two institutes as both the institutes are IIITGs in PPP Mode. The bill to declare PPP mode as institutes of national importance is still pending in parliament.
Here are a few pieces of information about the CSE/IT in the campuses mentioned in the question.
IIIT Guwahati:
The institute started in the year 2013 and has a strong CS department with a good number of experienced faculties.
IIIT Sri City:
Both the colleges have their advantages and disadvantages. You have to analyze which is better for you to pursue B.Tech in CSE/IT as per your parameters. Good luck.
IIIT Allahabad is better. It has a better curriculum and an active coding culture. The CSE and IT syllabus of the institute are designed according to the current industry trends. You will learn through real-time case studies.
IIIT Allahabad placements are excellent. During the 2022 placement drive, the average CTC offered was INR 30.63 LPA. The highest international CTC offered was INR 1.21 CPA.

In my opinion, do your research and see which college suits you better.
NIT Puducherry has recently shifted to its permanent campus, although IIITDM’s campus seems better. As for the faculty, again IIITDM has an upper hand but you will have to figure out an approach towards them.
Both the institutes have a fairly comprehensive and challenging curriculum for their students. They are both good placement wise but if you have more than 7.5 CGPA you will be allowed to sit for all the companies in IIITDM. You can see which suits best to your requirements.
Both IIIT Jabalpur and IIIT Kanchepuram are decent institutes, having their own advantages. The points below give a brief overview of both the institutes that may help you to make a choice between the two.
Although, both the institute are excellent in their fields and have a high pace of growth in standards, it’s the candidate’s wish to choose one among the two, based on the factors listed above.
One of my friends from high school used to be a student of IIITDM Kanchipuram and in his opinion, ECE at that institute has a far better system of progressing with the course than the NIT system.
IIITDM Kanchipuram also boasts of having a superior faculty. IT has also been derived from the ECE. Both hardware and software are involved in ECE. So, if you are more inclined towards Physics and Maths, go for ECE.
Categories | IT at NIT Raipur | ECE at IIITDM Kanchipuram |
Course Fee | 5.40 lakh | 6.55 lakh |
Highest CTC | 16 LPA | 20 LPA |
Average CTC | 8 LPA | 12 LPA |
Recruiting Companies | Barclays, Adobe, Oracle, HCL, etc. | Wipro, UBM, TCS, Value Service, etc. |
Thus it is suggested that you go for ECE at IIITDM Kanchipuram than IT at NIT Raipur. ECE also has better scope and opportunities than IT. Graduating with ECE you can sit for placements of both core sectors and corporate sectors.
