Which one is good, CSE from IIIT Kottayam or IT from IIIT Bhopal? I am from Delhi and also knowing that IIIT Kottayam will have permanent campus.

A side by side comparison of both the colleges might help you get a clear view on what to expect once you get there: Curriculum: The curriculum mentor of IIIT Kottayam is IIIT Hyderabad which is one of the top-notch institutes for CSE in India. On the other hand, the curriculum mentor of IIIT Bhopal is MANIT Bhopal which doesn’t match the level of IIIT Hyderabad. Closing rank: In 2019, the closing rank for IIIT Bhopal IT was around 41K in the special round. While for IIIT Kottayam CSE, the closing rank was almost 40K at the end of special round-II. You can check the opening and closing ranks for both the colleges in the year 2019 below: Institutes Round 1 Round 2 IIIT Kottayam 19863-37501 37712-39850 IIIT Bhopal 19220-37277 37825-40622 Placements: In 2019, the first placement was held where good companies came forward for recruitment. Some of them wereNISSAN, L&T, Reliance (JIO), etc. NISSAN offered packages starting from 6 Lakh to 10 Lakh. Coding culture: Coding culture at IIIT Kottayam is at par with old IIIT’s like IIIT Allahabad, Gwalior, and good NITs. More than 70% of students clearing the starting round of CODE JAM conducted by Google Campus: While IIIT Bhopal campus construction is yet to be started IIIT Kottayam campus is almost ready. From the above comparison, it’s pretty clear that IIIT Kotayyam has an edge over IIIT Bhopal. However, do consider your pool of interest because at the end your skills and hard work matters the most for shaping your future!

no placements but good to explore your interests

I feel my college is little expensive because usually all b tech insititutes has feel around 70k to 80k for semester but our college has almost 1 lakh 70 k per semester which makes it really expensive and I think this is because of awesome infrastructure they are providing. but honestly what i feel is it is too much. sem wise you need to pay fee. that is around 1 lakh 60 thousand to 1 lakh 70 k depending on which sem you are.

1st YEAR REVIEW OF IIIT KOTTAYAM

Dislikes

Like most institutes, IIIT Kottayam requires a minimum percentage of attendance (typically 80%) for students to be eligible to appear for end-semester exams.80 percent is more than other government colleges.

The fee structure of our college is 16.50 lakh approx for 4 years to general category students. There are various scholarship schemes which are present in national scholarship portal (NSP) all these schemes are valid here . And there are other many merit cum scholarship test, financial aid for SC ST students which will be known when you will come here by our college authority. There is no management quota.
