Some of my friends are from IET Lucknow. According to them, the placements of the CSE and IT branches are really good. Almost all the students get placed. The placement percentage shall be around 80-90% in both CSE and IT departments.
The salary packages offered to the students may vary from company to company. Or a student’s overall performance could also determine the job role and the salary package offered.
Generally, out of 60 students in a batch, 7 to 8 students are placed with a package of more than INR 5-6 LPA.
| Categories | CS at IET Lucknow | IT at IET Lucknow |
| Course Fee | 3.44 lakh | 3.44 lakh |
| Highest CTC | 15-18 LPA | 16 LPA |
| Average CTC | 8-10 LPA | 9 LPA |
| Recruiting Companies | Wipro, Cognizant, IBM, TCS, etc. | HP, Tech Mahindra, Deloitte, Dell, etc. |
Thus it is not that tough to get a salary package of above 6 LPA. If your overall academic performance is good throughout your college life, securing a salary package of above 6 LPA will not be a problem. Also, remember that these could vary.
Considering your UPSEE rank in the girl category, I think you should get easily in KNIT Sultanpur. Mostly even a seat in IET Lucknow is possible.
The girls above your rank must be trying multiple other entrance exams as well and there is a maximum possibility that half of them will go to IITs or NITs. Your rank is very good and girls above you are more capable on average.
UPSEE Cutoff Round (General Category) –
| Courses | KNIT Sultanpur | IET Lucknow |
| B. Tech in Electronics Engineering | 1862 to 2440 | 508 to 784 |
| B. Tech in Electrical Engineering | 2258 to 2950 | 835 to 1132 |
Don't worry I think you should get one among the mentioned seats. Good luck!
The hostels at IET Lucknow are State government-funded. It is the same as the college hostels. The hostel and bedrooms can be made amazing by looking and focusing more on the maintenance standards of the hostel. However, it has been observed that a newly constructed hostel has been inaugurated and it is in much better conditions.
In terms of mess facility, it is a private cum cooperative basis. The mess accounting is being done by the student head of the hostel called as Mess secretary. The mess service is pretty much good. The menu is as per the students.
There is just one problem that students face the most is the poorly maintained washrooms. The internet facility is also good. Other than these, the hostel is fine.
Yes, IET Lucknow is better than MMMUT Gorakpur because IET is a part of Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam Technical University (AKTU) hence it gets the advantage of AKTU MOU. Having a few friends from both the mentioned colleges, here are some tips for you.
Even though MMMUT Gorakhpur has been ranked #183 in the NIRF. There are some cons of choosing MMMUT Gorakhpur –
| Particulars | IET Lucknow | MMMUT Gorakhpur |
| Total fees | 3.14 to 4.04 Lakhs | 2.2 to 2.7 Lakhs |
| Placement percent | 95% | 90% |
| Highest salary | INR 37 LPA | INR 39 LPA |
| Average salary | INR 7 LPA | INR 4.5 LPA |
| Lowest salary | INR 4 LPA | INR 3 LPA |
| Top recruiters | TCS, Mahindra, and Adobe | Microsoft India, Wipro, and Amazon |
However, make a wise decision after learning the actual situation at the colleges.
If you are looking for a coding culture that you expect from colleges like IIIT Allahabad, then sorry it is non-existent here. Most of the students who do coding on their own keep their knowledge to themselves and do not share it with anyone else like some other colleges.
You will get guidance from some very good teachers but they only have theoretical knowledge. Unfortunately, most of the professors are totally ignorant about the needs of a good coding culture. They will give you questions that you can easily copy from the internet and they do not care at all.
Speaking of the internet it is available 24X7. The labs are there just for the sake of it and are not functional. If you are really passionate about coding then it is better to start learning yourself. There are plenty of online resources which you can access thanks to the free and excellent internet.
Currently, there is no coding culture here at IET Lucknow. Maybe you could bring in some actual changes in the mindset of the students.
You must have to go for the fifth round of counseling to change your branch. But if you are hard-working then you can easily change the branch by maintaining an S.G.P.A of 8.5 approximately.
If you are unable to do so, you will regert it during the placements as even the most well-known NITs do not provide decent packages for students pursuing Chemical Engineering. Another option you have is only the GATE exam that is one of the most preferred gateways by students for getting admission.
The following data can be obtained for the Chemical Engineering branch in IET Lucknow as per the recent data:
| Total Fees | 3.44 Lakhs |
| Cut-off rank to get admission | For general category- 2366 to 2856; For OBC- 2889 to 3435; For SC- 9084 to 12846 |
| Total Placement Offers | 100 offers |
IET is the known as Institute for ESE and GATE aspirants. Join some coaching for your GATE and work hard to convert all your dreams into reality by getting the desired branch in the college preferred by you.
IET Lucknow offers a chance to some students to change their branch based on their first-year academic performance.
I think it is quite easy to score more than 8.5 CGPA at IET Lucknow but that also makes the competition tough.
Students from different states do enroll at IET Lucknow because getting admission particularly depends upon the rank in the UPSEE exam. Depending upon whether or not you have secured a good rank, IET Lucknow accepts admission.
However, only 15% of seats are for students outside of Uttar Pradesh, which typically means, 85% of the seats are reserved for Uttar Pradesh students solely.
You will require a rank below 1000 if you are from the state of Uttar Pradesh, and a rank under 500 if you are from some other state to get into IET, Lucknow.
You will find more information regarding admission on the official website.
Both IET Lucknow and Thapar University are renowned colleges. Just as in every college they both have their strengths and weaknesses. As I got to know some people from these colleges while researching, I might be able to help you with your question.
| Categories | IET Lucknow | Thapar University |
| Course Fee | 3.44 lakh | 13.23 lakh |
| Highest CTC | 16 LPA | 25-26 LPA |
| Average CTC | 6-7 LPA | 12 LPA |
| Recruiting Companies | ZS Associates, TCS, Cognizant, HCL, etc. | Microsoft, Apple, Wipro, Infosys, etc. |
You might lose interest while studying at IET as it is not as lavish as other private colleges or even like Thapar. But if you work hard enough you can reach greater heights, no matter which college you graduate from.
Four people living in a room is fun but this applies only if you are comfortable with sharing a room with them. Having a friend who graduated from IET Lucknow, here are some tips for you.
It's good because you get to learn a lot from each other and you enjoy the first and second year. You can even work seriously on some of your projects. Most of all, you can make some good friends.
However, if you are not comfortable you can seek a PG to stay in. From the third year, you will have two people in one room. There are some cons but do remember the advantages of staying at the college hostel.
It is up to you, what kind of person you are and how comfortable you are with others.
