When it comes to choosing between IIIT-NR and NIT Raipur, it's recommended to go with NIT Raipur for the following reasons: IIITs are undoubtedly among the best institutions in the country for providing ECE and CSE courses. However, IIIT-NR is a relatively new and small college with a smaller college strength. IIIT-NR lacks well-established clubs, committees, and Training and Placement offices, which can be a disadvantage for students. On the other hand, NIT Raipur is an old and established college with strong alumni support, numerous events, and a well-equipped Placement cell. Being a part of cultural, technical, or managerial events can help students enhance their skills and network with industry experts. While NIT Raipur may appear old and dusty, it has a proven track record of successful placements and a sure future for its students. It's always better to go for a sure future than to take a risk with a not-so-sure future. Therefore, if you have the choice between IIIT-NR and NIT Raipur, it's recommended to choose NIT Raipur for a better chance at a successful career.

IIIT Naya Raipur is better than NIT Raipur, in terms of infrastructure, curriculum, and facilities. The institute follows a more subject-oriented curriculum in which unnecessary subjects aren’t included. You will study the core subjects from the first year itself. IIIT Naya Raipur has an active coding culture as well.  The institute has had an impressive placement record over the last few years. According to IIIT Naya Raipur placements of 2021, the average and highest CTC offered were INR 20 LPA and INR 43 LPA, respectively.  

Having friends in both the institutions, I can help you with your question. Let us compare the colleges on the basis of some factors. Campus - Among IIIT Naya Raipur and IIIT Vadodara, the former is much better than the latter. IIIT Naya Raipur has its own campus, including well-maintained academic blocks, hostels, canteen, and other facilities. IIIT Vadodara does not have a permanent campus yet. Academics: IIIT Naya Raipur has a better-advanced curriculum. It is designed to prepare students for competitive examinations like GATE, CAT, etc. Placements and Alumni: As IIIT Vadodara is a little older than IIIT Naya Raipur, they have a little bit of reach when it comes to placements and alumni. But IIIT Naya Raipur being a new establishment has also caught the attention of many top recruiting companies. Coding Culture: Both are equal here. Guidance is not provided by the colleges. Students take the initiative to build themselves up. Categories IIIT Naya Raipur IIIT Vadodara Course Fee 1.8 lakh (1st year) 1.8 lakh (1st year) Highest CTC 28.3 LPA 30 LPA Average CTC 8.2 LPA 12 LPA Recruiting Companies Carl Zeiss India, Deloitte, Ericsson, Utopia Global, etc. Amazon, Wipro, Infosys, IBM, etc. Lastly, It is suggested that if you are interested in coding and placement, you can opt for IIIT Vadodara. But for overall learning and development, you can choose IIIT Naya Raipur.

The following answer to this question will enlist some facts to the students. Among the IIITs, as mentioned above, are completely new, so they still not have alumni networks.  The course offered by these institutes is the best if you want to learn or do research in the future. But if placements are considered, IIIT Lucknow and IIIT Naya Raipur are still lagging far behind than NIT Raipur, a well-established institute among the two IIITs.  NIT Raipur has an infinite alumni network. Companies like Oracle, Microsoft, Amazon make a regular visit to complete their recruitment process with CTCs of 8+ LPA, specifically for the CS and IT students. The biggest cons of NIT Raipur is its Hostel, as only 30% of students here take hostel accommodation, and the rest 70% find PGs, rent houses, or flats for their accommodation. Another disadvantage of this institute is the outdated syllabus of NIT Raipur, along with the grading techniques. Therefore the choice is obvious. If a student is interested in carrying on higher studies, they can go for IIIT Naya Raipur. It is well-established and has a permanent campus. But, IIIT Lucknow is carrying out its administration as a temporary campus. Besides, if you want placement immediately after completing your studies, you must choose NIT Raipur.

Yes, you can change your branch after the first year. IIIT Raipur has such provision for students.  In IIIT Raipur there are two branches CSE and ECE and a changing branch from CSE to ECE is easy and common.  Most of the students change their branch from CSE to ECE. There are four-five seats in CSE and six-seven seats more likely vacant. You can change your branch before the beginning of the 3rd semester.  The process of branch change allotments based on the merit list. If you have a high CGPA then you will get preference.  The number of seats also depends on the available seats, from the previous year's admission and students who left the seat.  Therefore, you need not worry about branch change. Because many students change their branch after the first year. Its process is also easy, but branch allotment solely depends on the number of vacant seats and your CGPA.

One of my friends studied at IIIT Naya Raipur, so in the following, some points are highlighted considering this institute. Growth: Their laboratory infrastructure is well-furnished and provides all the basic facilities to the students, including high-speed internet. The campus is very peaceful and safe. All research projects, workshops, E-cells events and seminars are continuously conducted here. These help this institute to grow quite rapidly. Placement: My friend once told me that one of his seniors had secured AIR 11 in GATE; however, he is now pursuing M.Tech studies at Cornell. The achievements of the student’s project have a growing prospect for this institute. As it is guided by IIIT Hyderabad, the median salary is higher than the other institutes of India. Criteria IIIT Naya Raipur IIIT Dharwad Highest CTC 43 LPA 15 LPA Lowest CTC 6.5 LPA 3 LPA Average CTC 11.5 LPA 8-10 LPA Placement statistics 100% 60% Atmosphere:There is a quota for the students who come from Chhattisgarh; besides, there is also an NTPC quota. Telugu state students bond with the Telugu squad. Thus, there is a huge diversity in the student’s background. Faculty: Director of this institute has a Doctoral Degree (PhD) from Tokyo University. One of the professors, Mr Ramakrishna Bandi, achieved a PhD from IIT Roorkee and followed Post-Doc from IIT Bombay. Food: Mess foods here are homelier than the other institutes. It is less oily. However, the good thing is that the mess committee takes the student’s opinion and tries to make food as per their preferences. Thereby, a student can try to be the mess committee member, but it is not compulsory at all; they can be on the side with someone who is already the member. Hostel: Hostels here are cleared every day. Students will get a room with a bed, a cupboard, mattress, a desk, a chair, along with all the necessary stuff. Students have to pay meagre maintenance fees for their hostel accommodation. The hostel staff are amicable and provide low-rate laundry services to the students, but the students can also pay to use the washing machines at the shopping complex.  So, it is suggested that you go for IIIT Naya Raipur, because it will provide you with all the necessities required for a student in their daily life.

In the given three colleges, IIIT Naya Raipur is the best. Comparing such an institute on the basis of whether students choose that particular college over the other would be wrong. IIIT NR can be described in three phrases: fast-paced, project-based, and pioneering. Choosing which college over the other can be your choice. But why you should choose IIIT Naya Raipur to have some reasons: IIIT Naya Raipur has its own campus. Among all the new IIITs and NITs, it has the best course structure. The institute is equipped with all the facilities that are required for the successful completion of the graduation. From labs to classroom and auditorium to sports club everything is super cool. IIIT NR has most of the faculties with immense experience in their field. They are so helpful and always guide you at each level of your course. It is the first institute in Central India that has introduced Data Science and AI in B.Tech. The institute is located 25km away from Raipur city. You’ll be close to the railway station though. So, there are no transport issues. The institute gives you better exposure than any other new NITs. You will learn, grow and enjoy your campus life thoroughly. Hopefully, this helps in rectifying your confusion about the college options.

IIIT Naya Raipur CSE is a better option, in terms of placements. According to the recent placement highlights, the highest and average CTC for the branch is INR 10.5 LPA and INR 43 LPA, respectively. The placement rate for CSE is around 100%. Microsoft, Deloitte, Adobe, American Express, Ericsson, Capgemini, etc. visit IIIT Naya Raipur placements. 

If you are considering pursuing higher education at IIIT Naya Raipur, it's important to evaluate the placement opportunities and other factors to ensure it aligns with your career goals. Here are some points to consider: Placement opportunities: IIIT Naya Raipur has decent placement opportunities, but it's important to note that most of the high-paying placements are outside India. While earning 30 LPA in a developed country may seem attractive, it's important to understand that the cost of living and other factors may offset the high salary. Additionally, these placements may be on a temporary basis, meaning you may have to look for a new job once the project is complete. Private college vs NIT: IIIT Naya Raipur is a private college, which means it may not have the same level of resources and opportunities as a national institute like NIT. NITs are well-established institutes with a strong reputation and better infrastructure, which can provide you with a better learning experience and more opportunities. State government focus: Chhattisgarh lacks strong infrastructure and government support for innovation and startups. The government's focus is more on providing basic necessities to the people and votes banks. Therefore, apart from campus placements, it may be challenging to find opportunities in the state. In conclusion, while IIIT Naya Raipur may offer decent placement opportunities, it's important to evaluate other factors such as infrastructure, government support for innovation, and reputation before making a decision. Considering a national institute like NIT may be a better option for a more comprehensive learning experience and better opportunities.

There is no comparison between IIIT Raipur and IIEST Shibpur for Engineering. IIEST Shibpur is a much older and well established college than IIIT Raipur. Being a student of IIEST Shibpur myself, I can confidently say that the college is much superior when it comes to engineering. IIEST offers decent placements due to its strong alumni network and reputation among people. According to recent placement statistics, many top recruiters visited during the placement drive including Microsoft, Vedanta, Wipro, Cognizant, Godrej, HSBC Technologies, and many others giving the highest package of INR 39 LPA. Lastly, we can say that though IIIT Raipur may be known for its brand it does not stand on the same ranking as the old engineering departments of IIEST. Categories IIEST Shibpur IIIT Raipur Course Fee 5.68 lakh 1.8 lakh (1st year) Highest CTC 35 LPA 23 LPA Average CTC 15 LPA 10.5 LPA Recruiting Companies Infosys, ZS Associates, Bosch, IBM, etc. TCS, JP Morgan, CitiBank, American Express They produce many well-qualified students in different fields and provide them with many facilities along with placements and even good opportunities for higher studies and research.
