IIIT Allahabad: 4 Answered Questions

I think I have a chance for CSE for NIT Durgapur, IIEST Shibpur, BIT Mesra, and IT in IIIT Allahabad. My priority is good faculty, and personal development rather than placements.

Vinima Bhola

Given your priority for good faculty and personal development over placements, here we have elaborated on the comparison:

Institute	Faculty Quality	Personal Development Focus	Notable Strengths
IIIT Allahabad	Highly qualified PhDs	Strong, tech-centric	Research, coding culture, and practical
NIT Durgapur	Highly qualified, PhDs	Balanced	Supportive faculty, industrial exposure
IIEST Shibpur	Highly qualified, PhDs	All-round development	Soft skills, entrepreneurship, and history
BIT Mesra	Highly qualified PhDs	Research & extracurricular	Strong research, good ratio, and growth

Overall, IIIT Allahabad is the greatest if you seek a strong IT research and coding culture, while IIEST Shibpur excels at personal development and overall progress. For a balanced environment and faculty assistance, BIT Mesra and NIT Durgapur are other great options.

IIEST Shibpur is a great choice if you're looking for the ideal balance of top-notch faculty and comprehensive personal growth. IIIT Allahabad is the perfect place if you're looking for a more specialised IT research atmosphere.

Which is good in terms of placement, faculty, and campus, MNNIT IT or IIIT Allahabad IT?

Abhinav SinghB.Tech from Motilal Nehru National Institute of Technology, Allahabad

Having knowing people from both MNNIT and IIIT Allahabad, I can say that both are good institutes in terms of placement, faculty, and campus. The name tag is also big and the coding culture in both the institutes is also good. Choosing the college is entirely your decision.

If you want to make your career in the IT field then choose IIIT Allahabad. But if you are not sure whether you want to go into IT or some other field then choose MNNIT.
The placement of both MNNIT and IIIT is good.
The faculty of both are equally good.
The curriculum of IIIT Allahabad focused on IT from the first year itself and students of IIIT Allahabad are focused on making their career in the IT field.
In MNNIT subjects such as Physics, Chemistry, Engineering Drawing will be taught.
Campus wise IIIT Allahabad campus is better than MNNIT. IIIT Allahabad has better facilities and infrastructure. Whereas, MNNIT infrastructure is not that good.

Category	IT at MNNIT	IT at IIIT Allahabad
Recruiters	Accenture, Adobe, Emerson Network Power, Goldman Sachs, Oracle, Microsoft, etc.	Google, Adobe, HCL, Paytm, etc.
Average CTC	INR 9.6 LPA	INR 20 LPA
Highest CTC	INR 39.03 LPA	INR 43 LPA

Therefore, if you are looking for a career in IT then choose IIIT Allahabad and if you are not sure then go for MNNIT. Both the colleges are equally good but IIIT Allahabad has more pros than MNNIT. So, if you are thinking of joining any of these institutes then go ahead.

What do IIIT Allahabad students think about Dr. Rahul Kala?

Varun SinghStudied at Indian Institute of Information Technology, Allahabad (2019)

Dr. Rahul Kala- assistant professor at the Department of Artificial Intelligence and Robotics is one of the faculty members at IIIT Allahabad. He indeed is one of the finest of all. Here are something you should know about him -

Dr. Kala completed his 5-year integrated B.Tech (IT) and M.Tech (IT) program from IIIT Gwalior.
Dr. Kala also has a Ph.D. in Cybernetics which is from the School of Systems Engineering, University of Reading, UK.
Pattern Recognition and Classification, Intelligent Vehicles and Intelligent Transportation System, Robotic Motion Planning were areas he had done extensive research in.
There are a good number of books and research papers written by him.

Naturewise, Dr. Kala is one fine person who is so very humble and simple in his ways. Unless he doesn't have any lectures or meetings to attend, Dr. Kala arrives at his office around 9:00-9:30 AM and departs right at 9:00 PM in the night.

He can be described as someone who is-

Down-to-earth
Known for his candor amongst both his students and colleagues
Extremely passionate about what he does. He learns at once and makes decisions accordingly
Would always be seen either going through certain research papers, AI Books, Thesis, etc., and scribbling some technical formulae on the whiteboard in his office which no student would be able to decipher and wonder why even did they opt for Robotics in the first place.
Even if you decide to barge into his office unannounced, he would never mind that and would be ready to help you with your thesis or coding.
Even if it is a teacher or even a student, he would always be a great mentor to them
You'd always find Dr. Kala wearing a smile and would never find him cranky. He is someone who would also lighten the mood of the class by cracking a joke

To capsule everything about Dr. Kala, the point that I've tried to make is that you'll receive the best guidance and learning from him. His company is always appreciated. Whether it is anyone from their labs or lecture rooms- they'd always praise having Dr. Kala around.

Why don’t we have some good teachers in IIIT Allahabad despite being such a famous college?

Kanishk KapoorStudies at Indraprastha Institute of Information Technology, Delhi (2022)

It would be completely wrong in saying that faculty is not good or not well educated. There are only a few teachers who lack spoken English skills. This is probably a great problem for students who do not understand Hindi and are more comfortable with English. If a teacher cannot speak English, it doesn’t mean that he/she is a bad teacher. Teachers anyways have more knowledge than us.

Each faculty have a lot of potential and capabilities. There are a lot of other aspects in which they outshine. People stuck with a mindset of criticism will never appreciate their teachers, even if they teach well.

Despite their poor English, they are good at speaking and understanding it and are always ready to help the students in whichever way possible. You can go to the professors and ask your doubts after the lecture is over. The faculty will definitely clear all your doubts, moreover, in English, in the language, you are comfortable in understanding.

All this is just because the mother tongue of most of the teachers and faculty members is Hindi and hence sometimes end up explaining the topic in Hindi. This doesn’t mean the teachers are bad at teaching.
