When speaking in terms of placement records, IIIT Allahabad is known only for B.Tech. However, M.Tech at the same institution tends to not get great offers. In fact, most companies do not permit M.Tech students from IIITA to sit for specific interviews. 

Companies like Microsoft, Amazon, Hashedin, Morgan Stanley didn’t allow M.Tech students to sit for the interviews one particular year. That is one reason behind why IIIT, Allahabad does not make the placement stats clearly open in a branch-specific manner.

You, as a student, should prefer M.Tech at NIT Nagpur. Mentioned below are the statistics of M.Tech placements of VNIT Nagpur. 

It is important to note that MTech IT (i.e., Intelligent Systems) is very well known at IIITA. If you are choosing to do Intelligent Systems at IIITA, then you will not regret that decision. You definitely will have the chance to sit for every company interview. However, if you do not get Intelligent Systems, then opting to go for NIT Nagpur is highly recommended.

In terms of placement, the preference order of branches are as briefed below:

Intelligent systems, IIITA> CSE, VNIT Nagpur> Advanced computing, NIT Bhopal> Information security, NIT Bhopal> Human-computer interaction, IIITA> Cyber Law IIITA> Software Engineering IIITA> Wireless communication IIITA.

One of my acquaintances who has graduated from VNIT has asked me to choose my institute by keeping the following points in mind.

• VNIT for metallurgy would be a suitable choice for you if you don’t have a particular liking. Apart from that, the metallurgy of VNIT holds an enviable position in India. The syllabus for metallurgy is vast and involves a lot of memorization.
• If you want CS and unfortunately end up not getting it, the next logical step would be to choose IT. The syllabus of IT and CS are almost the same. In the big picture, it will have little importance if you complete your B.Tech from VNIT or NIT Raipur. You will have a degree and you will not regret the decision you made.

IT has a lot of scopes. Later down the road, if you want to continue with your higher studies, you will be capable of switching to almost any department pertaining to computers. IT from NIT Raipur is an excellent choice.

The scope in the metallurgy sector is limited nowadays. It is obviously your call, though. There is vast scope in IT like research, job, etc.

BITS Goa is anytime better than all the NITs in India. The following are the reasons.

• BITS Goa has a huge brand name. It is a Tier-1 engineering college in India.
• The placement of the institute is excellent as compared to VNIT. BITS Goa has an average 90% placement success rate.

• Various top-notch companies come for the campus in BITS like Adobe, Amazon, 159 Solutions, Make My Trip, Maruti Suzuki, ADM Agro, Morning Star, Nvidia Graphics, Oracle, Capgemini, Cisco, Paypal, Siemens, DE Shaw, PwC, Qualcomm, Deutsche Bank Affle India Limited, Bajaj Auto, Mckinsey & Co, Microsoft IDC, Healthcare Technologies, and others.
• The infrastructure of the college is breathtaking. There are various facilities like well-equipped separate hostels and mess for boys and girls, SAC (student activity center) for a wide range of sports, guest accommodation, medical center, central library, computer labs, and different laboratories.

Overall, the fee of BITS Goa is on the higher side. But it is worth paying for its brand name. BITS Goa offers a lot of scope to the students and encourages the holistic development of the individuals. Even the faculty is experienced and helpful.

To compare two institutes, you need to consider various factors. A few of such parameters are briefed below. 

• Placements Statistics 
• Academics
• Alumni Strength
• Cutoff Required
• Also for CSE, coding Culture

If we compare MNNIT Allahabad and VNIT Nagpur based on these parameters, MNNIT comes ahead, although marginally. 

Here is a brief overview of the CSE program offered by the two institutes.

Other than that, you can also choose a college which is closer to your hometown, if necessary. That way you can save valuable travel time and visit home during holidays.
