Questions Asked On IIIT Una, Una

The placements of IIIT Una have improved this year as compared to last year. Training and placement cell is working really hard to improve it and as mentioned on the official site there is 100% placement this year and this is really good.

• The average package is not declared yet officially but the highest package was 13.6 LPA .
• Off-campus placement is good too and the highest package off-campus is about 60 LPA. And the placement will increase exponentially in the coming years.

Since this year the college will be shifting to Una campus there will be better connectivity to train and ease of commuting which can help companies to visit frequently.

If you are thinking of joining IIIT Una that means your JEE rank is something like either you can opt for newer IIITs with higher branches or can opt for lower branches in NITs. My friend was stuck in the same dilemma but after coming to IIIT Una she realized that it was the best decision that she didn’t compromise branch for college.

Pros of joining IIIT Una:

• You will get the latest curriculum which is far better than NIT’s. You can check the curriculum on its official website
• You will see that there is more emphasis on practical knowledge which is a huge plus point. And, from this year onwards they will be having the concept of relative marking just like IIT. The practical course constitutes a minor project work based on the concurrently studied theory in that semester.
• Your 6th semester will be purely dedicated to internships so that you can have industrial exposure.
• You will get an amazing coding culture and helpful seniors too.

Lastly, if you want to opt for an institute of national importance with this JEE rank, then IIIT Una is really a good option. Do not go for lower branches of NIT or any other private colleges.

There is no surety that you will be placed in a good company. It only depends upon your capability and your hard work. You will have to look for the companies and talk to the placement department as well. 

If you are only concerned about placements then you should opt for IIIT Guwahati. This institute offers a rich coding environment. Their first-year students won a robotics competition organized by IIIT Guwahati. The faculty members of this institute are supportive and they will encourage you to participate in various competitions.

IIIT Una is a new institute when compared to other institutes. However, if you have started competitive coding, then it’s a plus point. To ace the placements, you must become the best in coding.

One of my friends is currently enrolled for the 2022 batch at IIIT UNA. He has completed two years already with a rank below 30,000 and he got into CSE, if you have a rank between 30-36k then you won't have many other options available. 

He had the option to choose between Thapar Institute of Technology, IIIT UNA, and UIET Chandigarh, and unfortunately, the choice of IIIT UNA was a regrettable decision. Firstly it does not have a good rank; secondly, you may see why as follows-

• NIT Hamirpur is the mentor institute at which my friend’s batch studies as part of the 2022 batch which is the only batch there without any seniors, labs, or societies.
• Administration-The institute lacks efficient management, it is headed by a dictatorial administrator who likes to make changes without prior announcement. Recently, a fine of INR 5000/subject was imposed on students for a shortage of attendance.

• Tuition Fees- For each year of the academic program, you'd have to deposit a high Tuition Fee of INR 2.05 LPA, which is steep because of the lack of facilities.

• College Environment- If you're seeking a happening campus life at IIIT UNA, then you'd be disappointed. There are hardly 2 or 3 clubs like Aavesh and Force, but joining them will be difficult owing to their eligibility criteria.

Lastly, I'd like to highlight the placement scenario as the placement cell clearly states that they are not responsible for the placement provision. Only CSE and IT departments receive some companies, for ECE there are only coding jobs available.

So, Thapar Institute of Technology and UIET Chandigarh are much better in terms of opportunities provided, college life, and alumni support.
