IIIT Allahabad: 4 Answered Questions

If I am interested in Programming should I choose ECE at IIIT Allahabad or IIIT Bangalore, if yes which one should I prefer IIIT A or B? (Of course I am not getting CSE in good college)

Aarti AhujaLives in Allahabad

Here is some information to assist you in choice-making-

IIT Dhanbad Mechanical is the best option among the three. This college has a rich legacy and a strong brand value. Apart from that, it offers good placements with brands like Tata visiting the campus for recruitment purposes.

But if you have an interest in Electrical, you can opt for IIT Tirupati. Unlike before, the college is now functioning from its permanent campus. The permanent campus is destined to house 12,500 students. It is under construction in phases, but it already houses 1500+ students at present.

Therefore, IIT Dhanbad Mechanical is the best choice. But if Electrical interests you, opt for IIT Tirupati Electrical.

What are the dual degrees courses like at IIIT-Allahabad?

Devdoot VarmaB.Tech from Indian Institute of Information Technology, Allahabad (2022)

IIIT began its dual degree programs in 2013 which looked like B.Tech + M.Tech Dual Degree in I.T with specialization in Robotics and Software Engineering. Forwarding to the next year, an addition was made to these courses, and a couple of more programs were added.

For your convenience I am listing a few of them in detail so that you can get an idea of the structure:

B.Tech (IT) - MTech (IT) with specializations in:
- Software Engineering
- Human-Computer Interaction
- Intelligent Systems
- Bioinformatics
B.Tech (ECE) - MTech (ECE) with specialization in Microelectronics and Biomedical Engineering
B.Tech (IT) - MBA (IT)
B.Tech (ECE) - MBA (IT)

After completing the 5-year dual-degree program, you will be awarded the B.Tech. + M.Tech./MBA degree. you will find that the first 6 semesters are the same as the B.Tech. (IT)/B.Tech. (ECE) program and the rest have elements of a PG program.

If you go for a lateral entry into the PG (M.Tech. (IT)/ M.Tech. (ECE)/MBA) program then you will get elective courses in the 6th, 7th, 8th, and 9th semesters. You may be allowed to change your specialization after the 1st semester, considering your academic performance.

Other such programs include Microelectronics, Biomedical Engineering, MBA in IT, and others. There are good internship and placement opportunities available if you choose the 5-year program. You will work on two small projects, 2 major projects and will have TO submit an M.Tech thesis. In addition to these, in your 3rd year, you can either take up industrial training or a research project under a professor at IIIT A or any other University of your choice. In your fourth year, you will be allowed to sit for placements.

Which is better: IIEST Shibpur CSE or IIIT Allahabad IT in terms of course content and teaching?

Chitra KhandelwalBachelor of Engineering Computer Science, Indian Institute of Engineering Science and Technology, Shibpur (2018)

I have a few friends at IIEST and based on what I heard I can say that conclusive developments are taking place at IIEST Shibpur for the CSE course. Projects under the supervision of esteemed faculty were introduced in the second year. The curriculum has been improved to become one of the best in India.

There are also visiting faculty from foreign universities such as Harvard and so on. At present, the faculty is working on projects worth crores.

Abroad Internships are available to CSE IIEST students as early as in the first year.

The CSE department at IIEST is now significantly better than that of top NITs. So in short, IIEST Shibpur CSE is the better alternative.
