IIIT students sit along with the NIT students during classes. During placements, the students of both IIIT and NIT sit together for campus placements. 

In general, the placements of IIIT students are less as compared to NIT but some bright students of IIIT get good placement along with good packages. The IIIT students also sit for the campus placements at NITH but some companies don’t allow the IIIT students. At the end of the day, it only depends upon your capability, hard work, and talent. You will get ample opportunities for placements. The other facilities, academics, hostels, etc are all the same for IIIT.

All that matters is the skill that you will gain through learning which will help you get good placements with a good package. The IIIT students have got good placements with the highest package off campus too.
