Colleges in Assam

When the comparison is between IIITs and IITs, the war is always in favour of IITs whether it be any branch or stream.
The reason being the quality of students, management of IITs, the large-scale organization of events as well as technical and cultural fests from which students learn a lot.
Although, a IIIT may have a better infrastructure due to its late establishment but is overcome by the vibrant lifestyle of IITs.
Now coming to the placement statistics, the average there at IIT Guwahati is around 18 lakh per annum whereas 12 lakh from IIIT Vadodara.
Also, the highest package ever from IIT Guwahati is around 92 lakh in google whereas is 27 lakh from IIITvadodra creating a huge difference between the two.
Now, one may get into IIIT through Mains and through advance in IIT.
Sincerely, there is a lot of hard work needed for getting into CSE for any of the IITs, NITs and IIIT, but the preference should always be given to the IITs than top NITs and then top IIIT. Although some IIITs are working exceptionally well up to the mark of IITs, which are IIIT Hyderabad and IIIT Allahabad.
Thank you. Hope it will help you.

Hello, let me tell you about the placement and internship trend of IIT Guwahati. You won't believe, due to so much hype about the internships abroad, students generally intern abroad in a huge number and it is highest as compared to any other IITs. Even students in the mechanical department with "F" in their courses who got internships abroad. In my honest opinion, since there are a large number of reputed CS companies which come to the campus for internships, probably the good students find it too lucrative to get in them and hence end up not doing foreign internships. Thus, many students end up getting pre- placement offers (PPOs) from the firm that they were interning abroad. The second thing is the placement cell which makes calls to a number of companies for campus recruitment. IIT-G has a very dedicated placement team and every year almost all major companies visit the campus. But the majority of these companies are from the software industry. But this trend is common to all the engineering colleges.
Check out the placement and internship report published by the director of IIT, Guwahati in the link given below:- http://www.iitg.ac.in/pro/sites/default/files/14thConvo_Director's_Report.pdf.
Hope this helps! All the Best!
