I am very confused between these two. Which one should I choose: MNIT Jaipur CSE or IIIT Allahabad IT?
IIIT Allahabad's IT is one of the best in this league. This branch is at par with CS.
Academics:
Academics are given more importance here. From the first semester itself, IIIT Allahabad begins imparting programming knowledge. Subjects such as chemistry and engineering drawing are taught later on as these are considered as less useful subjects.
Coding Culture:
The coding culture is exceptional at IIIT Allahabad. Most of the top-ranked students in competitive programming at present are from IIIT while the number of students from MNIT is few.
Campus:
There is a lot of similarity between the campus and hostels of both the institutions. IIIT Allahabad is younger than MNIT, therefore, has an advanced campus compared to MNIT.
Placements:
The placement opportunities at IIIT Allahabad IT are tremendous and better than MNIT CS. Students at IIIT Allahabad land high package offers.
According to the recent placement statistics the highest and average CTC offered to IIIT A is 43 LPA and 20 LPA. Whereas the highest and average for MNIT is 38 LPA and 8 LPA.
Overall, opting for IIIT Allahabad would be a great decision.
What should I prefer between NSUT CSAI, IIIT Allahabad IT and MNNIT Allahabad CS?
Both IIIT Allahabad and MNNIT are highly regarded engineering colleges in North India offering premium quality education. Placements-wide, MNNIT CSE is slightly better compared to both NSUT and IIITA. In my opinion, the preference order should be
MNNIT CSE >= IIITA IT > NSUT CS/AI
MNNIT is the first choice because it’s on Eid the top 5 NITs with the most sought-after branch CSE. IIIT Allahabad is also a great choice for CSE because it has a CS-tailored curriculum and ambiance.
Overall I feel if you are certain of joining an IT company, and have an interest in coding and computers go for IIIT Allahabad IT or MNNIT Allahabad. If you are unsure of your branch preference go for NSUT.
How are internet facilities at IIIT Allahabad?
Internet facilities at IIIT Allahabad are really good. Having studied here myself I can say it is much better than what other colleges provide.
- The speed goes up to 50 Mbps.
- Each hostel room has its own LAN ports. This higher speed helps to install many software and OS, required for educational purposes.
- Generally, the speed is 20 Mbps but during vacations, speed goes up to 50 Mbps.
- Like other institutions, the internet here is provided through proxy servers. You have to log in using your LDAP credentials given to you after admission.
You can use apps like WhatsApp easily but for mobile games like PUBG or COD you might not be able to use the college’s internet facilities. Overall the internet facilities are really good at IIIT Allahabad.

Both IIT Mandi and IIIT Allahabad are reputable institutions with strong programs in their respective fields.

On the other hand, if you are more interested in information technology and computer science, then IT Allahabad would be the better choice. It is important to note that both programs are challenging and will require a significant amount of hard work and dedication. I recommend researching both institutions and their programs thoroughly before making a decision and considering your own interests and career goals.

Yes, indeed it is. Though it is an elective subject. You will not be taught the basics of Machine Learning. It has been observed that faculty distributes notes of some other universities to the students.
Almost 60% of the students from the IT branch work on several machine learning projects while they study at IIIT Allahabad. There is a fixed pattern that can be seen in all these projects:
- The downloading dataset from Kaggle/UCI or any other source
- Installing sci-kit-learn/Tensorflow in the student’s python environment

- Plot and plan all these algorithms for their accuracy and you are done!
Machine Learning is very much part of the curriculum and it’s an amazing exposure and experience for all those who are passionate about the studies of Machine Learning.
There is a special course called ‘soft computing’ which potentially covers all the basic concepts such as classical Machine Learning models, and architectures like SVM, KNN, and Logistic Regression.

What are some helpful tips for students starting their first year at IIIT Allahabad?
These 4 years would be the most memorable years of your life. It often sounds clichéd when you see so many people saying how they had enjoyed their college years and wished they could relive them again, but it’s the memories that one makes during this time that bring a smile to your face when reminiscing them.
- Getting out of your comfort zone is most important. You can start with it by becoming a member of society, help in organizing events during cultural fests, represent IIIT-Allahabad at sports fests, etc.
- Students often end up being close friends with people from the same societies and have a memorable time indulging in all the extra-curricular activities.
- Exploring and finding something that interests you. While as a fresher, you will definitely come across seniors who tell you about the coding culture in the college.
- A lot of people start out with competitive coding right from the first year and then slowly move to other fields. You should try competitive coding, web development, open-source, cybersecurity, etc. You can even ask your seniors about their experience.
- Your CGPA matters and the companies look for the knowledge that you have gained. Almost all companies that visit the campus for recruitments allow students with a CGPA greater than 7.5 to sit for the tests.
- But for an MBA/ MS after graduation, research internship during summer break, or the course of your final semester, having a good CGPA really helps you a lot.
Understand who to approach for guidance and help. If you wanted to know anything related to internships, placements, the best people you can approach are the third- and fourth-year students. They are the ones who have prepared and are currently experiencing intern and placement sessions first hand and are in a good position to help you out.
Keep an open mind. You will come across many people with different lookouts on various things. The best thing would be to listen to what people have to say and then decide what your next action should be. This way, you would make better listeners and more informed decisions.
