Should I pursue IT at IIIT Allahabad, considering that I posses no experience in programming?
Coding is an important part of the IT culture at IIIT-A. But more than 75% of freshers have little to no experience in programming. The programming basics that one learns during the 10th-12th class are all taught in the first semester of the course. During the first year, students are taught the basics- Functions, Pointers, Linked Lists, Data Structures, Object Oriented Programming, etc.
It is your consistent efforts and undying spirit that will allow you to slowly learn and enhance your coding skills. IIIT-A has a wonderful coding culture that will draw you toward coding.
The programming courses during the first year use C. The language is extensive and does take a good amount of time to get a hold of. You may take a few online courses on C language to prepare for this journey. There are numerous online resources available using which you can grasp the basics of this language.
Therefore, you should pursue IT from IIIT-A even if you have no experience in programming.
