I am currently in 1st year right now so I'm not placed yet. But the 2023 graduated batch had great placements keeping in mind the recession. Almost all students get placed in cse branch while in ece it's around 85%. This is because many students go for mtech and other higher studies or prepare for a govt job
After securing a rank in jee main, we were supposed to participate in josaa councelling. There were 6 josaa rounds and after participating in all of them you have the option of csab councelling for left-out seats. After all those rounds were supposed to report online and after that physically report to the institute on the day specified on the website

IIIT 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 |
JEE Main |
|
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:
- The classes have shifted to a new campus for some time now.
- The institute has a fully functional administrative block. Which is also used as a lecture hall, and is air-conditioned, and has proper Wi-Fi connectivity. Only, the ECE labs have faulty AC.
- Freshers are provided with double sharing rooms with attached bathrooms. After the first year, boys and girls are given single rooms.
- Faculty of IIIT Guwahati get apartments inside the campus.
- The library of IIIT Guwahati is not at all satisfactory. There are books mostly related to course subjects only. Even the overall collection of books is quite less in number.
Food:
- There is no cafeteria inside the new campus. There is a place for coffee and snacks in the administrative block.
- Hostel mess is not at all decent and takes a lot of time in serving food. The catering service providing food, namely South Coast Catering Service, has not improved with time.
Sports:
- There is no separate gym or sports complex inside the campus. A temporary field and volleyball court are there for students.
- The boys’ hostel has TT table and carrom boards, but none such facilities are present in the girls’ hostel.
Campus Activities:
- The cultural-fest Yuvaan is improving with time and with the growth of student-base and funds.
- There is an E-cell that organizes entrepreneurial meets, on a large scale with a huge budget of around 15 crores.
- There are several clubs for dance, movie, music, quiz, literary, and coding inside the campus.
Faculty:
- The department of CSE, ECE, and mathematics have professors who are Ph.D. from IITs, IISc, ISI, and other top universities. HSS department has PhDs from DU, JNU, and IITs.
- There is no separate set of science faculty, so those subjects are taught by IIT Guwahati science professors.
Curriculum:
- The curriculum is excellent and is entirely industry-need-based, mainly focused on research.
- There are changes in the course every year depending upon the present needs. Students are allowed to make suggestions in modification.
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.
- Prof Gautam Barua who is the director of the CS department at IIIT Guwahati was also the director of IIT Guwahati from 2003-13. With his immense experience, he aims to build the department strong.
- Coming on to the curriculum of CSE/IT, it is well designed to suit the growing need of the industry. The intent here is to complete all the core subjects in the first 6 semesters so that students can choose the type of industry they want to get into. Like in the 4th semester, there is a subject called Computer Network which is generally a subject of 5/6th semester in other institutes.
- In the CS department, IIIT Guwahati has come up with the Ph.D. program as well.
- There are many advantages to join IIIT Guwahati but only a single disadvantage is there i.e. Location. But if you love to travel and nature, Guwahati is a place for you.
IIIT Sri City:
- The number of faculties at IIIT Sri City is nearly half as compared to IIIT Guwahati.
- They also have MS and Ph.D. programs which indicates that they are also very active with regard to research.
- They are being mentored by Prof. UB Desai who is also the director of IIT Hyderabad and a pioneer in System and Network Research in India.
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.
- In the CSE Department, GB Sir is considered to be one of the best according to most of the students. He has experience and expertise in his field. He finds what the students need and he is very good at his work.
- Another teacher, DSB sir is very supportive and encouraging with the students. He involves himself with the students in class.
- Ferdous Sir inspires students and tries to help out most of the students although being very busy.
- Matam sir has great expertise in Computer Networks. He is very fluent, the students are very attentive in his class.
- Moumita Ma’am has her own teaching methods. She has a systematic approach to learning which ensures that the students learn that subject.
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:
- IIIT Jabalpur, Allahabad, Gwalior, and Kancheepuram are all MHRD funded and they are quite old in comparison with IIIT Guwahati.
- IIIT Jabalpur has the best rankings among all of the IIITs.
- IIITM Gwalior is the oldest institution among all.
- IIIT Allahabad has the best placements among all.
Placements:

Based on all the facts regarding rankings, placements, infrastructure, and location, it can be concluded that IIIT Allahabad stands in the first position while IIIT Gwalior is at last.
