Although IIIT Lucknow is an excellent institute in terms of placement and coding culture, IIIT Guwahati is not very far from the standards of IIIT Lucknow. There are several negative reviews about IIIT Guwahati over the internet and it is being falsely treated as inferior. 

The table below gives a brief level of comparison among the two institutes.

Key Highlights:

• Guwahati has very pleasant weather throughout the year, except for the humid month of August. Lucknow has an extreme type climate and so, this pleasance is lacking there. There is no problem of severe mosquitoes in Guwahati, but spiders and lights insects are often found.
• It is true that IIIT Lucknow has excellent coding culture inside its campus, with participation in several competitions. But, there are false facts about IIIT Guwahati that it has no such culture, and these are purely misleading. 
• There are some excellent professors in IIIT Guwahati. Going into some personal preferences by students, lecturers from some professors namely Soumi ma’am (CSE), Sumit sir (CSE), Mansoor sir (ECE), Arjun sir (Maths), etc are quite interesting. 
• The attendance rule of 75-85% is not very strict to be followed in IIIT Guwahati.
• Classrooms and laboratories in the academic building are well equipped with all necessary facilities and equipment and are air-conditioned too. Mostly, students are given single occupancy rooms, with attached toilets, which may be delayed due to the construction of a new hostel. 
• Mess quality is a place of personal opinion and depends upon the type of food one likes. IIIT Guwahati serves both veg and non-veg food, in North and South-Indian cuisines. There is a little issue with the hygiene of the mess in IIIT Guwahati, which is usually the case in all hostels. 
• Placements alone can never be the means of judgment for a batch of students, considering the fact that past records don’t matter that much in the future.

Therefore, both the institutes are good, with the presence of all necessary facilities and offerings. Reviewing an institute should not be manipulative and misleading.
