Student At IIT Patna

The newer Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs) like Patna, Indore, and Jodhpur are generally less preferred by students compared to the older, more established IITs due to the following reasons:

Brand recognition: The older IITs have a strong reputation and are more widely recognized, unlike the new IITs.
Alumni network: Older IITs have a strong alumni network that can provide better placement opportunities and industry connections. This is lacking a bit in the new IITs.
Infrastructure: Newer IITs may still be developing their infrastructure, including laboratories, research facilities, and campus amenities.
Research opportunities: Older IITs typically have more research collaborations, funding, and ongoing projects, providing better research opportunities for students.
Industry partnerships: Established IITs often have stronger ties with industries, leading to better internship and placement opportunities.
Placement records: The track record of placements and average salary packages are stronger for the older IITs.

Here is the comparison of the new IITs with an older one (IIT Madras):

Particulars	IIT Patna	IIT Indore	IIT Jodhpur	IIT Madras
NIRF Ranking	41	14	30	1
Establishment year	2008	2008	2009	1959
Highest Package	INR 82.05 LPA	INR 68 LPA	INR 53 LPA	INR 2.14 CPA
Average Package	INR 23.90 LPA	INR 25.45 LPA	INR 21.30 LPA	INR 33.06 LPA
Top Recruiters	Google, Microsoft, Goldman Sachs, Vedanta, Reliance, Tata Steel and Adobe, etc.	Microsoft, Zomato, Amazon, Capgemini, Qualcomm, etc.	Tata 1mg, Samsung, Oracle, Flipkart, Publicis Sapient, Mercedes Benz, and Adobe, etc.	Microsoft, Goldman Sachs, and McKinsey & Company, etc.

Even though IIT Patna/Indore/Jodhpur are not as good as IIT Madras/Bombay/Delhi, they are continuously progressing. As a result, these new IITs are establishing their own place for higher studies.

Lives in Indore

I refuse to believe that the new IITs are less preferred by students considering their exponential growth and achievements. I don’t think that the new IITs are lacking in any way be it the campus or the placements. Most new IITs are now operating from their own modern campus with top-notch infrastructure. The average packages of the new IITs again prove that they are nowhere inferior.

The reason why some are preferred over others is simply because of location. Initially, Andhra Pradesh had the maximum number of selections in JEE so the IIT Hyderabad's opening and closing rank was better than other new IITs. Also, Hyderabad enjoys a better location than Indore. Personally, I believe if you are able to make it into the new IITs then getting old IITs isn’t difficult either. This proved that the new IITs are doing well and aren’t lacking in any aspect.
