₹ 15,000IIIT Guwahati seems to be a good option but one must have heard that “All that glitter is not gold”. There are many colleges having people who completed their PhD from IIT. Doing a PhD from an IIT doesn’t make that person a competitive teacher.
Many of them may have acumen but lack teaching abilities. Very few of them are capable. The course structure is a plus point but still one should not join IIIT Guwahati. It is still not well established plus the factor that makes a college good or bad is the quality of students entering them, and its doubt that the student finds a quality bunch of students there.
The table shows a brief overview of the institution:
Particulars |
IIIT Guwahati |
Median Salary |
Rs. 5.5 lakhs |
Highest Salary |
Rs. 17 lakhs |
Entrance Criteria |

Fees |
Rs. 9.05 lakhs |
If you have a good rank in JEE Main then you can get IT at some of the good NITs. Otherwise, the you have a good chance of getting CSE in the new IITs, and both the options are far better than joining IIIT Guwahati.
One of my closest friends is a student of IIIT Guwahati. Through him, I got to know about the institute. Discussed below is a brief overview of the institute.
Infrastructure:
Food:
Sports:
Campus Activities:
Faculty:
Curriculum:
Connectivity:
The campus is situated 4 km away from Guwahati airport and 25 km away from the city center. There are weekly bus shuttles, provided by IIIT Guwahati.
Overall, the points above provide a brief scenario about IIIT Guwahati and the conditions of every aspect related to the institute. A student who is a CSE or ECE aspirant can consider IIIT Guwahati as a good choice.
IIIT Pune is the best option among these. It has made tremendous strides, in a short span of time. Over the last few years, IIIT Pune placements have witnessed an upward surge. Here are the placement highlights of the last two years.
Parameters | 2021 Statistics | 2022 Statistics |
Average CTC | INR 14.5 LPA | INR 16.83 LPA |
Highest CTC | INR 36 LPA | INR 53 LPA |
Total no of companies visited | 50+ | 70+ |
Deloitte, Infosys, ZS Associates, L&T Infotech, etc. are the major recruiters that take part in the campus drive, on a regular basis.
IIIT Guwahati is better than IIIT Sri City. It has an excellent placement record. As per the placement statistics of recent years, the average and highest CTC offered in campus placement are INR 11.59 LPA and INR 32 LPA, respectively. Companies such as Tata Consultancy Services, UpGrad, Toppr Technologies, Tekion, Wipro, etc. are the major recruiters that take part in IIIT Guwahati placements.
The institute has a locational advantage as well. The campus is only 4 km away from Guwahati airport.
IIITDM Kancheepuram is an institute of national importance and it has an advantage over the other two institutes as both the institutes are IIITGs in PPP Mode. The bill to declare PPP mode as institutes of national importance is still pending in parliament.
Here are a few pieces of information about the CSE/IT in the campuses mentioned in the question.
IIIT Guwahati:
The institute started in the year 2013 and has a strong CS department with a good number of experienced faculties.
IIIT Sri City:
Both the colleges have their advantages and disadvantages. You have to analyze which is better for you to pursue B.Tech in CSE/IT as per your parameters. Good luck.
There has been an increase in seat capacity for CSE in recent years and hence there are more chances for students to get admission. Here is the recent JEE Mains cutoff for IIIT Guwahati.
Branch |
Cutoff |
CSE |
1642-17835, 4542-7077 |
ECE |
7993-23129, 5567-8387 |
There are two allocation rounds, i.e. JOSAA and CSAB. If you visit the JOSAA website, you will see that the cutoff is small. So, it is better to wait for the CSAB allocation round. There you will be given new branches as a choice. The majority of students hold their choice in the last rounds of JOSAA fearing that they may end up with a bad branch in the CSAB round and that is the reason the closing ranks are so high after the CSAB.
Lastly, there is also a spot round in the Institute in which if you participate your chances of getting a seat increases even further even if you have got a seat somewhere else.
Yes, as the rooms were designed and built for a single person per room, thus adjusting two people will make it a little congested. But it would not be a problem as the students will be provided with double-decker beds.
There will be proper space for two tables and chairs. The rooms in the hostel have proper ventilation.
If the student wants to sleep on the floor, they can remove the double-decker beds from their room. They will be provided with two cupboards in one room, each for a student. The students can put all their belongings there.
In comparison with some other institutions such as IIT BHU, where three of the beds are arranged in U-shaped with a table in the center of the room, the condition of IIIT Guwahati is much better.
Even after knowing all these facts, if there is any doubt about the room then you should visit the campus or talk with the current students over there and try to know about any ongoing issue about the same.
If you are looking for an ECE branch, you may want to consider IIIT Guwahati over IIIT Bhubaneswar and MIT Manipal. IIIT Guwahati is an Institute of National Importance and is centrally funded, while IIIT Bhubaneswar is a state-funded institute and MIT Manipal is a private institute.
IIIT Guwahati has been making significant improvements in terms of infrastructure and placements every year. In contrast, IIIT Bhubaneswar seems to have reached a saturation point with no significant increase in placement or campus facilities.
Moreover, the faculty at IIIT Guwahati encourages research at the undergraduate level. Many seniors have already started researching on AI, ML, cybersecurity, and communication as early as the 3rd semester. This could be an excellent opportunity for students who are interested in research.
Additionally, all the laboratories at IIIT Guwahati are open to access for students who wish to work on personal projects, subject to administration permission, which is easy to obtain. This could be helpful for students who want to gain practical experience beyond the coursework.
In conclusion, if you are interested in pursuing ECE, IIIT Guwahati could be an excellent choice due to its status as an Institute of National Importance, centrally funded status, improving infrastructure and placement record, faculty support for research at the undergraduate level, and open laboratory access.
All the teachers in IIIT Guwahati are very good and are specialized in their own field of expertise. Being a student here, my brother says that every teacher here has their own teaching methodology. Some of the teachers have amazing communication skills while some do not but if you are determined to learn, it becomes easier and interesting.
There are other teachers too who are open to the ideas of students and are encouraging as well as approachable. The CSE department is very fortunate in terms of strong faculty.
Having to know people studying in these institutes and after doing some research myself, I got to know about some things which might help you get a proper insight, Here are some of the following:
