How would you rank the IIITs? Should I prefer IIIT Allahabad or NIT Rourkela?
Posted On - Mar 16, 2021IIIT Hyderabad and IIIT Ahmedabad are the best IIITs and have similar ages. IIIT Hyderabad fairs are better than IIIT Ahmedabad in terms of its coding culture and the kind of job opportunities it provides.
IIIT Hyderabad students must work extra hard and wake up very early for PT. The institute has a record of attracting a better crowd because a lot accepts only top rankers of JEE Main. One of the drawbacks of the institute is that it’s private and therefore charges hefty fees while IIIT Ahmedabad is a government college so it charges lesser fees.
IIIT Ahmedabad has a bit flexible campus life quite similar to other government colleges like IIT and NITs. Additionally, it also has a rich coding culture with amazing job opportunities.
I don’t find any major differences in the curriculum, campus life, and placement scenario of both the institutes so choose the one that aligns with your preferences. As for choosing one between IIIT Allahabad and NIT Rourkela, go for the former without any second thoughts. IIITs are best suited for coding lovers and people passionate about computers. So if you are one of them, go for any IIIT between these two!
