SEEING IIITALLAHABAD, THE STUDENTS POV

I choosed IIIT ALLAHABAD over other top NITs and IIITs on the following basis. 1. Small number of batch size which makes it quite enjoyable to attend any Campus event. The batch size for one year is approx 440-450 while in NITs, it is over 1200-1500 due to availability of many other branches. Less students = More Fun 2. Excellent Placement record. As we all know, the placement record is top notch here compared to other colleges. Average of 25 Lakhs is very good even in recession. 3. The infrastructural facilities of hostels is very good here. Comparing this to NITs who have 3-4 students sharing a room, here that number is 2 for first two years and after they you are allotted single rooms....Read More

IIITA - pros and cons

I got this college through kosaa. This college considers jee mains rank. I chose this college over the others because of its excellent academic and great placement cell. This college is competing with some of the top iits in terms of placement and research. The cutoff for btech in ECE was 8.3k rank and for IT it was 5.4k rank in jee mains. This college takes students through JEE Mains only. The admission process for this college is quite easy. Once your seat is confirmed by kosaa you just have to visit this college and the rest is taken care of by the authorities. You just need to have proper documents. If you have been admitted int hese college through some category then u need to have a proper category certificate. Without proper documents the admission will not happen. The admission process takes about 1-2 hours including the wait time. The admission process is 4-5 days long and you can come on any one of these days and complete your admission. After admission you will receive you hostel room and you can immediately shift into it....Read More
