IIIT Allahabad - Indian Institute of Information Technology Answered Questions

In my opinion, Bits has a better brand name than IIIT. Also CSE degree is preferred by some companies over IT. To decide, you should have a look at the companies visiting these colleges for respective branches. Choose the college that gets your dream company. Also, if possible, talk to any Alumni of these branches in resp colleges.

Krishna, the average package doesn't depend on the branch. ECE students are allowed to sit in both IT and EC companies. So ultimately it all depends on your knowledge and hardwork. If you are good enough, you can definitely bag a decent package from the college.

@sachn41664, the JEE MAINS admission process is really simple. For getting into IITs , JEE MAINS will serve as an eligibility examination clearing which you will be eligible to write the ADVANCED paper and after that all that matters is your JEE-ADVANCED score and rank. Whereas, for getting admission into NITs , IIITs and other centrally and state funded institutions, your JEE MAINS score and class XII BOARD results matter. Your final score will be prepared by combining your MAINS score and Boards marks. 60% weightage of the MAINS score will be taken and remaining 40% weightage will come from your normalised Boards score. For knowing more about normalisation process you can check on the official site. Then based on your final normalised score your ranks will be decided. Then in the counseling process you will be allotted colleges based on your filled preferences ,your rank & cutoff ranks of the colleges.

For B.tech IT and ECE the cutoff is 9k to 10k while for the Dual degree courses it is around 10k to 15k depending on the M.tech specialization offered for the second degree. This is around a score of 200 on an average seeing the past patterns. However the board result and percentile also are a major factor in the same.
