IIIT Kota is very new and is yet to make a mark with respect to IIIT Jabalpur. Whereas, with IIIT-Jabalpur the placements do keep varying. More or less, the placements are improving.
Academics:
So, to put it together, the academics are nice, but placements can be improved. Being from IIIT gives you a special charm. Also, being new IIITs, they will take some time to establish themselves and the education factor is quite decent when compared to tier-2 private engineering colleges. But, they still have a long way to go reach the bar set by NITs or IITs.
The top bracket companies pay really well, but these new IIITs won't be the first choice for these companies. The mid-range paying companies will flock to these new IIITs; so, you will get a decent package.
So overall, it is better to have something than nothing.
When talking about IIIT-Kota it has its own pros and cons. Some might like it because of its good CSE placements and brand tag of IIIT or some would like it because of its curriculum. When we talk about the campus of IIIT-Kota it is not up to the mark and some would not feel like belonging there and regret the decision of opting one.

CONS:
Lastly, teachers are helpful but the teaching quality is not good. The curriculum of the college is good, and placements are available for both branches. IIIT-Kota doesn’t conduct its own college fest. It’s boring and way too sloppy in this part. Other things except for hostel facilities are all good.

You must follow your passion and go for the stream over college. After all, your choice will either make or break your future depending on how you tackle the circumstances.
Choose IIIT Guwahati if you want CSE. If you choose metallurgy go for NIT Warangal. If you don’t know, like IIIT Kota has MNIT Jaipur, IIIT Guwahati has IIT Guwahati as its mentor institute.
The infrastructure, faculty, and placement opportunities are far better there due to the presence of already established IIIT G. This makes a lot of difference and gives an extra helping hand to IIIT-Guwahati. Being a new institute, IIIT G will not limit your options and you will also have an ample amount of opportunities coming in your way. IIITG already has great affiliations with top industry groups and even has an IT park coming up next to it.
Let’s have a brief perspective and a quick overview of all:
Also, I believe that all the top colleges in the country have almost the same level of standards of teaching, placements, opportunities for further education. In short, it opens lots of doors for you in the future.
The reason which sets these colleges apart from others is how much they allow their students to get enough exposure to culture for the next 4 years and also to work under and with the guidance of the brightest minds in the country. You learn a lot more from your friends in college than your professors, irrespective of IITs or NITs.
My brother is from LNMIIT so I can tell you why LNMIIT is a better choice.
Ranking and Accreditation:
LNMIIT holds 2nd rank among the best IT colleges in Jaipur and 3rd best private college in Rajasthan. LNMIIT is approved by AICTE and has also been accredited by NAAC with a grade 'A'.
Alumni Network:
IIIT Kota is a recent IIIT and yet to establish a strong alumni database. Whereas, LNMIIT has a very strong Alumni base, including some notable personalities like Hemant Purohit (Assistant Professor at Information Sciences and Technology at George Mason University, Washington DC), Sanjay Goyal (Senior Engineer at InterDigital Labs, Tandon School of Engineering at Brooklyn, USA), Radhika Loomba (Research Scientist at Intel Labs Europe) and so on.

These are some of the perks of attending LNMIIT. Now, you can compare the institute with IIIT Kota and decide.
The most important thing in engineering is your knowledge and skills. Doing well in academics does not ensure good placements. There have been many pieces of evidence where toppers could not fetch placement.
IIIT Kota is good in terms of placement. It is a national institute and gives you the tag of IIIT. But, when it comes to understanding between faculties and students, it has a way to go. This makes the environment not likable. A friend of mine attended the institute and didn’t quite like the environment there.
Apart from this IIIT Kota is quite good for CSE, you will get to experience many things there. There are many hackathons, coding events, sports events in which you can take part. There are many timely workshops organized by Technical Club, Google DSC, and Microsoft Student Partner. FlairFiesta is the annual cultural-techno fest of the institute.
So, overall IIIT Kota is a decent option for CSE.
IIIT Kota is one of the recent IIITs established in the past few years. In this limited period, it has made good improvement. In the first placement season itself, it has witnessed the highest package of 28 lakhs and almost more than 50 percent of students were placed.
