Hello,

Both IIIT Allahabad and NIT Durgapur have their own advantages.

  • The total fees of CS at NIT Durgapur is 5.56 lacs and that at IIIT Allahabad is 5.4 lacs. So there is not much difference in fees.
  • There are more placement opportunities at IIIT Allahabad as compared to NIT Durgapur as more companies visit the former.
  • Even at the cultural front, IIIT has more fests planned than NIT Durgapur. So you can really enjoy more at IIIT Allahabad.
  • However, NIT Durgapur has the tag of NIT which is advantageous in itself.

Hope this helps. All the best for future!

Hello,


I think someone has shared you wrong information because the NIT Durgapur is very good college.However, placements in 2019 saw a dip in number as 70-75 only students got placement where the highest package was around 50LPA and average being 9 LPA.The top branch in terms of placement was Computer Science and Mechanical engineering was 2nd highest in terms of placement.
You can go for the college if you are hardworking and dedicated towards career.

I hope this helps.

Verified Review

College Infrastructure

The institution's infrastructure requires significant improvements to meet modern standards. Many buildings show signs of age and neglect, impacting the overall learning environment. While some areas have been renovated, the labs and classrooms are noticeably outdated. This aging infrastructure affects the quality of equipment and resources available to students. Modernization is crucial to enhance the learning experience and provide students with the tools they need. Investing in updated facilities would greatly benefit both students and faculty. A comprehensive renovation plan is necessary to address these critical infrastructure needs and elevate the institution's standing.
