I'm trying to decide between Computer Science at IIIT Lucknow and Mechanical Engineering at MNNIT Allahabad. Which one should I choose?

Alright, so when it comes to placements, IIIT Lucknow usually has an edge, especially if you're eyeing a job right after college. Their CSE program is pretty solid in that regard. But, if you're really passionate about Mechanical Engineering, then MNNIT Allahabad could be a better fit for you.

Just a heads up though, the job market for core Mechanical roles can be a bit tough. Opportunities might be fewer, and the starting salaries might not be as high as in the IT sector. Plus, there's a lot of competition out there, whether you're looking at public or private companies.

On the other hand, with a CSE degree, you'll likely land a job with a decent package. And the IT sector is booming right now, so there are plenty of chances to switch companies and explore different roles.

Here’s a quick look at the recent placement stats:

Parameters	IIIT Lucknow	MNNIT Allahabad
Average CTC	18 LPA	10 LPA
Highest CTC	43 LPA	49 LPA

Ultimately, it boils down to what you're more interested in and what kind of career you're aiming for.

Its a Question about your future!
