If you have a choice between IIIT Vadodara and any other well-established NIT or IIIT for a Btech in CSE/IT, you should go for the latter as IIIT Vadodara lacks proper infrastructure and resources. However, studying B.tech in CSE at IIIT Vadodara is a rigorous course that offers different course content from other colleges, making students good engineers. The professors put in equal amounts of hard work to deliver their content in a professional manner, and there are ample resources available online for students. 

IIIT Vadodara is a good option as it provides exposure to both theory and industrial practice, and the institute has improved immensely. The placements are also getting better, with tech giants recognizing IIIT Vadodara and aiding in projects through developer student clubs and Mozilla student club

As you will be spending 4 precious years of your life, it becomes very important to know both the bright and shady sides before choosing it. One of my friends is currently studying at IIIT Vadodara and here are some key highlights according to his first-hand experience.

PROS:

• Responsible Faculty: You will be taught by intellectual teachers and professors. All the teaching and assistant staff are very helpful and are always there for your betterment. 

• Cooperative Seniors: You will be surrounded by a bunch of talented and helpful seniors. My friend’s seniors were very friendly and always guided them on little tips and mistakes to avoid.

• Campus culture: You will be given ample opportunities for showing creativity and talent through coding activities and other extracurricular activities. You can participate in ample clubs and their events like logical thinking, treasure hunt, mathematics, and other fun events.

CONS:

• No permanent campus: Yes, there is no permanent campus constructed yet. The reason behind this is that the land allotted for the college campus is disputed farmland. Thus, the institute is currently running in Government Engineering College, Gandhinagar.

• Hostel: Thenew hostel is about 32 km away from the temporary campus and is located in a remote place. You will be facing problems regarding traveling, medical facilities, etc. You will be allotted 3-4 occupancy rooms with rudimentary facilities. In addition, a hostel is mandatory for all, you aren't allowed to arrange accommodation by yourself.

Overall, there will be no compromise with the quality of education and company at IIIT Vadodara. However, the lack of campus and underwhelming hostels can be a big issue for many of you.

Direct communication cannot be compared but one of my friends suggested that IIIT Vadodara is an older institute in comparison to the others. The placement officer of IIIT V is good and will be helping in getting good placements by calling good companies to the campus. The college also sends for internships in companies like Amazon. Some of the students also got selected in Google Summer of code.

The comparison table of IIIT Sonepat, IIIT Una, or IIIT Vadodara is as follows:

Since IIIT Una has recently opened, it is not working independently. This college has no relation with NIT Hamirpur which makes it a bit risky. 

IIIT Sonepat is much better in terms of placement. The reason is that the companies find it much closer in distance as compared to other institutions. It can be suggested that you first check admission at IIIT Sonepat then at IIIT Vadodara and then go for IIIT Una. 

It is always suggested to look for more information from the old alumni IIIT V as they will better tell you about the past placements.

One of my friends studying at IIIT Vadodara said that the Placement cell is really hardworking and dedicated towards a student's future. The placement statistics are improving every year.

• IIIT Vadodara witnessed all the registered students of B.Tech get placed. They have a 100% placement record.
• A huge hike in the average package was seen with more than 11 lakhs per annum.
• The college received over 8 international offers from across 30 companies.
• The companies offered jobs in various fields like software engineering, research and development, and associate data scientist, etc.
• Some of the top visiting companies include Adobe, Mathworks, Amazon, Samsung, Maq software, Intel, etc.
• They also offered 3rd-year B.Tech students a 2 months summer internship. This really helps students in getting pre-placement offers (PPOs) from the companies.

With the MNC companies like Amazon, Adobe, Searce logistics, etc. the students are performing well and securing internship opportunities.

Some of my friends studied CSE from SGSITS, so I might be able to share some details about SGSITS. But I can provide the basic information of IIIT Vadodara, as I am not very familiar with the college.

• The CSE department at SGSITS is about 30 years old.
• The student intake of the CSE department is 90. Most of the students of the general category are MPPET toppers.
• The HOD, Professor Mehta is considered to be the best Operating Systems teacher in India.
• At IIIT Vadodara, you will get to learn coding from scratch. It will be helpful for those who do not come from a CSE background.
• At IIIT Vadodara you will get the IIIT tag, which could prove to be valuable during interviews, but not always.

If you work hard, you can easily secure a job during the placement program. Top companies like Microsoft, Deloitte, Mu Sigma, SAP, Mindtree, Wipro, ZS Associates, L&T, Morgan Stanley, etc. take part in the placement program of both colleges. They also offer deserving candidates internship opportunities, during their 3rd year. Ultimately it is your choice and priority that will help you decide which college to get admitted in.

Among the given choices IIIT Vadodara will be a good choice for you. This is a much old institution. The college provides better opportunities to learn and better placements to their students. Whereas, CE was introduced only a few years back at PDPU.

Here are some of the reasons why you should choose IIIT Vadodara.

Coding Culture:

IIIT Vadodara has got better coding culture. In past, students of this college have perticia[ated in GSOC, ACM ICPC and brought good results.

Placements:

The placement statistics of IIIT Vadodara for the CSE branch are also quite impressive. Here is a brief highlight of the same.

As IIIT Vadodara does not have a permanent campus yet, the campus life at PDPU will be comparably better. However, if we consider all other options then IIIT Vadodara is definitely ahead of PDPU.
