Question

If you're deciding between IIIT Allahabad and VIT for Computer Science (CSE), IIIT Allahabad usually comes out on top. Although IIIT Allahabad doesn't have a separate CSE branch and is instead called IT, the course structure is pretty much the same. At IIIT-A, IT and ECE get the most attention. So, if you're looking to explore other fields, you might want to think twice about IIIT Allahabad.

Here’s a quick look at how the two institutes stack up:

Particulars	IIIT-A	VIT
Entrance Exam	JEE Main	VITEEE
Cut-off	374-4278	573-15,000
Total Seats	270	320
Placement Rate	96%	96.2%
Highest CTC	43 LPA	39 LPA
Average CTC	21 LPA	6.05 LPA

If you're all about coding, IIIT-A is a great place. They have popular tech clubs like competitive coding, web development, networking, and app development. The study environment is excellent, and most professors have PhDs from IITs. The placement stats for the IT department at IIIT-A are impressive.

On the flip side, VIT is a private institution, and some say the faculty isn't always up to par. IIIT-A is funded by the MHRD. While VIT has an entrance exam, it’s often seen as just a formality, with many getting in through donations. Also, there have been some concerns about the safety of female students.

In short, IIIT-A is generally the better choice for IT (CSE). The coding culture at IIIT Allahabad is a big plus and really helps with placements. IT is super popular among students there. So, if you’re choosing between IIIT-A and VIT, IIIT-A is likely the way to go.
