Q: Which is better, IIIT Delhi or IIIT Allahabad?

Its possible that IIIT Delhi is superior to IIIT Allahabad because of its prime location and excellent faculty and placement statistics. IIIT Allahabad is also a National Institute of Importance, but IIIT Delhi is not. The coding culture isnt even close to being equivalent; IIIT-D is far superior. Professors at IIIT-D are generally PhDs from prominent universities throughout the world, therefore their experience and letters of recommendation are quite valuable. Another plus for Delhi is that the research climate is excellent, especially for undergraduates. Technically, neither has “100%” placements, but their placements are extremely similar overall—Delhi to Allahabad. The differential in tuition prices is the most compelling reason to pick IIIT Allahabad over IIIT Delhi.

It also appears that the overall atmosphere in Delhi has improved.

Tanvi Sinha

23 Mar 22

IIIT Delhi CSE is a better option compared to DTU Mechanical. It is a great option for pursuing a CSE degree. The institute has a great faculty pool. It also offers good placement opportunities. According to the 2021 placement highlights, IIIT Delhi CSE average package is INR 16.81 LPA. IIIT Delhi also has an active research culture.

DTU offers a better brand value, campus life, but as a branch, CSE is better than Mechanical.

Why are IIIT's such as IIIT-Hyderabad, IIIT-Delhi and IIIT-Allahabad so under-rated?

Ashwin Mahajan

30 Aug 22

Any institute’s reputation is built by its alumni. IIITs are established later compared to all major technological institutes in the country. This is perhaps the major reason why IIITs are underrated. IIIT Allahabad and IIIT Hyderabad are around 20+ years old. In spite of being comparably new, IIIT Allahabad is constantly ranked among the top technological institute in the country for IT.

Do you think IIIT Delhi should be preferred over the top 3 NITs (Trichy, Warangal and surathkal) by a South Indian when there is passion for coding?

Yes, you can go for IIIT Delhi without any second thought. The institute has come a long way and it has improved its reputation. It can easily compete with some of the most sought-after institutes.

Placements: In its latest placement season, more than 140 companies have visited the campus and made a total of 585 offers to its students. The highest domestic package was INR 50 LPA and the international offer was INR 37.50 LPA. The average package offered was INR 16.14 LPA.
Faculty: It can obviously be said with certainty that the faculty of IIIT Delhi is enviable and can stand toe to toe with the institutes mentioned in the question.
Coding Culture: IIITD has dedicated clubs with great coding culture for students. Previously, 15 students got selected for Google Summer of Code.
Hostels: The hostel rooms at this institute are much better than any government college. Proper air-conditioning is provided at nights during summers and heaters during winters.
Location: IIITD enjoys the locational advantage of being situated in the capital city. You will be given great exposure and opportunities. NITs, on the other hand, are located far away from the cities and you may face travel problems.

Some of the disadvantages that you may encounter at IIITD are the reputation and campus life that NITs carries. They are more reputable than IIITD and have a great campus life.

Should I go to NSIT, IT , IIIT Allahabad or IIIT Delhi?

Joyeeta Bakshi

07 Jul 21

NSIT has better placement statistics and the maximum package offered to an on-campus placed student than IIIT-A, but you (as an IT student at NSIT) will be sitting with CE students for placements, which is the more well-known branch of the two.

However, when comparing the IT departments of the two colleges, IIIT-A was created as a centre of excellence in the field of IT and is well-known for its curriculum.
The disciplines taught here are also part of the curriculum of several prestigious universities around the country.
In terms of your interests, if you're interested in coding, IIIT-A is the place to go.

Categories	NSIT	IIIT Allahabad	IIIT Delhi
Course Fee	8.44 lakh	5.41 lakh	15.04 lakh
Highest CTC	45 LPA	45 LPA	40 LPA
Average CTC	17 LPA	21 LPA	25 LPA
Recruiting Companies	Intel, Accenture, Capgemini, HCL, etc.	Google, Amazon, Flipkart, Goldman Sachs, etc.	GE, Oracle, AMD, Synopsys, etc.

To summarise, if you have an interest in coding and want to be a part of one of the top coding cultures in the country, you should enroll in IIIT-A. But if your priority is to be close to home, and you believe you can outperform CE students on final placements, then NSIT is the place to be.
