According to most of the students studying there, both the colleges have average reviews. Though if compared IIITM Gwalior is considered better than IIIT Lucknow. As IIITM Gwalior was established at the same time when IIT Hyderabad and Bangalore were established, they have passed out many batches of students, but still have average placements below 10 LPA.

If we talk about IIT Hyderabad then it has also passed out many batches, but the average packages here are of more than 20 lakhs. IIITB has passed out several Btech + Mtech batches offering 17 to 18 LPA as average salary package.

IIT lucknow unlike the others mentioned is not that good or worth it, as it is a newer establishment, placements by significant companies are less. Try for old NITs, as they will get you better and higher salary packages.

This is a pretty difficult question as both the colleges are great in their own ways. National Institute of Technology (Patna) is ranked 134th in India among the leading technical institutes of India by NIRF. Whereas, IIEST Shibpur is ranked 19th among engineering colleges by NIRF. Let's compare some of the parameters which may help you choose which institute will be better for you.

Admission-

Both the institute offer UG, PG, and Ph.D. programs across various streams.

• The entrance exam that is accepted for B. Tech courses is JEE Mains.

• For M. Tech candidates the entrance exam accepted is GATE in both the colleges.

• CAT scores are accepted for MBA programs.

Placement:

• IIEST Shibpur witnessed a placement record of 311 students for the academic year of 2018-2019. The highest recruiting batch was Information Technology. 39.2 LPA was the highest salary offered in the 2019 placement drive.

Both IIEST Shibpur and NIT Patna are equally good. So choose an institute among the two according to your convenience.

One of my friends was in the same situation at the time of his counseling. He had this doubt and I am sure many of the people would have it too. I will note down the pros and cons of these two colleges so you can take an unambiguous decision.

IIIT Allahabad:

Pros:

• IIIT Allahabad has a huge campus and it’s beautiful over there. In terms of campus, IIIT Allahabad is definitely better than MNNIT Allahabad. 
• IIIT Allahabad is known for its coding culture.
• You will not be taught anything unnecessary like teaching engineering drawing to a CS student.

Cons:

• The faculty base is not that great. Sometimes even seniors take the classes. 
• The timetable along with the assignments becomes very hectic at times.
• It is also a new institute. 

MNNIT:

Pros:

• MNNIT is a very old college and has a rich alumni base.
• The placements are amazing if you are persistent with your hard work and studies.
• The faculties are good apart from a few. 

Cons:

• The campus is small as compared to IIIT Allahabad also; the sports facilities are also just not that good.
• If you are looking for a good coding culture then it's here too but far less than IIIT Allahabad.
• You will need to study some subjects no matter which branch you belong to in the first year.

The table below gives a brief overview of the two institutes.

So this pretty much sums up these colleges. The final decision is yours, compare and choose wisely.
