My cousin belongs to the 2020 batch of B.tech at MNNIT Allahabad. Goldman Sachs visited the campus for an internship for their batch. The general selection criteria for this internship are:

• You must belong to either of these branches: BTech All, MCA, MSc
• You must have a CPI of 5 or above

If you are preparing for getting selected at Goldman Sachs, just focus on your problem-solving and coding skills. Also in their technical round, you will be asked Quant questions that are very hard if you lack practice in that. Yes, Quant questions are the type of questions that are asked in CAT exams.

However, it is quite common to see students with a CPI of 8 or higher being selected most. This is the harsh truth, thus you might see your name in the first shortlist but not in the second list as your CPI is lower. Hence, work hard enough to get a CPI of 8 or higher and emphasize more and more on your coding skills as the coding exam for Goldman is very tough.

The sports facilities at MNNIT Allahabad are inadequate, and much can be done to improve them. Though facilities for sports such as cricket, football, tennis, basketball, and badminton are available, items can be issued without difficulty. 

There are numerous shortcomings on the part of the administration in terms of providing adequate facilities and motivation to students who participate in these games.

• The institute has an old, non-air-conditioned gym with all the necessary equipment. The gym hall is large and has high roofs to help with the intense heat and humidity. However, the administration does not invest in its renovation. There is a scarcity of weights for serious lifters.
• They also made wrong decisions, such as dividing the gym time equally between boys and girls, despite the fact that girls are never interested in gym or bodybuilding. They also made it mandatory for students to follow the trainer's advice and regime whether they needed it or not.
• Few people are aware that this institute has a swimming pool that is currently closed, most likely due to an accident that occurred a few years ago in which a student died. The authorities have since closed the swimming pool. However, the administration never attempts to change the situation.

All of this is taking place while this institute receives a yearly grant of around Rs 100 crores. The sad reality is that all of the money goes to the corrupt higher authorities of the Institute, and we can not do anything.

First of all, let us consider the placement. Comparison of data of placement 2017, 2018, 2019, and 2020 for the branch CSE at MNNIT Allahabad. 

Looking carefully at the above data, we observe that the number of job offers made is higher than the number of eligible candidates. The average CTC also follows a positive trend. Thus, based on placement, it is advisable to join CSE at MNNIT Allahabad.

Check the following positive aspects of MNNIT Allahabad:

• Competitive Environment: The students are selected based on their rank in JEE Mains, which is difficult to clear and the large number of students appearing every year adds to the difficulty level. This ensures a good competitive environment and nothing can be more advantageous towards contributing to better career growth than a healthier competitive environment in the college.
• Faculty: The faculty at MNNIT Allahabad is very motivating and is always ready to help you in clearing doubts.
• Role of Seniors: Beyond the courseware, seniors help their juniors in various aspects such as interview preparation and expand their knowledge beyond the course material. For these purposes, there is a computer club on the campus.
• Tech Fest: Avishkar, is the name of the competitive programming event held on the campus. Competitive programming events are held which are well-organized and contribute to the learning of the students.

I have a few friends pursuing CSE at MNNIT Allahabad and they vouch for the course. 

The placements as well as the coding culture among Information Technology (IT) students are no less than that of Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) students. In fact, both branches are almost similar.

Placements: Almost all companies that visit the campus to recruit CSE students also make the IT branch eligible to apply, barring only a very few. The table below shows the placement statistics for the two branches for the academic year 2020.

Coding Culture: Many students from the IT branch do coding. The number even increases near placements. If we compare the number of coders in CSE and IT, it will be almost the same. Students have also started contributing to the open-source platforms. So, all in all, the coding culture is also good and improving each day.

Finally, the IT branch at MNNIT Allahabad is a very good choice for academics as well as your future career growth and should be definitely considered.

My brother has completed his M.Tech from MNNIT Allahabad and according to his experience, this institute lives up to the expectations in terms of placement. Here’s why:

• If you have done enough justice to your studies during these 2 years of M.Tech, then the rest is assured. Although no specific CTC can be guaranteed, you will ultimately land a good job.
• No doubt MNNIT Allahabad’s placement cell is very active and works hard for your better future. Thus, a long list of companies usually visits for campus recruitment every year offering a plethora of opportunities.
• In my brother’s placement time, companies like Walmart, Sony, Cap Gemini, TCS, Samsung, Amazon, Directi, etc companies came for recruitment. However, you must be efficient at coding to grab decent packages in such big companies. Here also, MNNIT help you out with their bunch of bonafide students that take the "ComputerClub" classes.

Overall, if a placement is your goal, you are at the right place. Luckily if you belong to the CS branch in MNNIT or any other college in India, you can have one of the best placement packages. Most of the students of the CS branch get placed for jobs and internships too.
