Question

So, you're wondering which is better for your B.Tech, Assam University or IIIT Manipur? Both have their pros and cons, so let's break it down:

Assam University:

It's a central university with a decent tech department since 2006. Getting there (25 km from Silchar) isn't usually a hassle.
Heads up, the admin can be a bit slow, which can be frustrating.
Hostels are limited, so only some students get them.
They've got internet, but some things like paying fees online aren't there yet. Also, results can be delayed.
Placement-wise, it's not the best because of the location. But some students do land good off-campus offers. Expect around 1-2 LPA on average. Some even go abroad for MS.

IIIT Manipur:

It's a newer institute in Heingang, about 10 km from Imphal. They've got five departments now, including sciences.
The first batch passed out in 2019, so placement stats aren't solid yet. But it's an IIIT, so it should attract IT companies. Expect around 5 LPA.
There have been some issues with the Inner Line Permit (ILP), so keep that in mind.
They're doing well in sports, with students winning awards in competitions.

So, if academics and a chill campus vibe are your thing, Assam University could be good. But if you're aiming for better placements and like sports, IIIT Manipur might be a better bet. Plus, scoring well might be easier there.

Its a Question about your future!
