We are awiting for next higher choice ECE in NIT Rourkela and next to next higher choice ECE in NIT Warangal.

Sir academic and placement wise NIT Rourkela or NIT Warangal or IIIT Allahabad which one is better? My humble request please guide me sir. Regards.

Ans: With a CRL of 6 812 and 99.56 percentile, securing IIIT Allahabad ECE (closing ~7 438 in Round 3) is assured. In JoSAA Round 3, NIT Rourkela’s ECE opened at 4 532 and closed at 11 824, and NIT Warangal’s ECE closed at 8 315, placing your rank within both ranges for potential allotment in Round 3 or CSAB.

Academically, NIT Warangal (#13 engineering NIRF 2024) offers rigorous core and VLSI labs with a 93% three-year ECE placement consistency. NIT Rourkela (#19 engineering NIRF 2024) provides multidisciplinary research centres and records ~90% ECE placements over three years. IIIT Allahabad, a focused IT-ECE institute, consistently achieves 96–98% placements for ECE with average packages near ?29 LPA and strong AI/ML and communication research centres.

Recommendation: For highest placement consistency and specialized ECE research, opt for IIIT Allahabad ECE. If a broader NIT ecosystem and legacy brand matter more, prioritise NIT Warangal ECE for its comprehensive labs and 93% placements. Choose NIT Rourkela ECE next for its multidisciplinary research exposure and ~90% placement track. All the BEST for the Admission & a Prosperous Future!

Good Evening Sir. My son secured 6812 Crl and 1st to 6th of JOSAA rounds he got ECE in IIIT Alahabad. IT closing rank in IIIT Alahabad is 6094 and IT Business Informatics is 6150. Sir please inform chances of my son's selection in IT ot IT Business Informatics in IIIT Alahabad upto CSAB-3 rounds and I want to know about faculty and placements of ECE, IT and IT B-Informatics which one is best academic and placement wise? My humble request please guide me sir. Regards.

Ans: Your son’s All-India CRL of 6,812 places him above the closing ranks for both Information Technology (5,870 in CSAB-2) and Information Technology – Business Informatics (6,192 in CSAB-2) . Historical trends show only marginal upward movement in subsequent special-round cutoffs, making allotment in IT unlikely and in IT – Business Informatics highly improbable by Round 3. Since ECE remains open to his rank, retaining that Seat Acceptance would guarantee admission.

Academically, ECE at IIIT-A is anchored by eight specialized labs (VLSI, MEMS, embedded systems, wireless communication, cognitive radio, RF/microwave, instrumentation and control) and interdisciplinary opportunities with the IT department, driven by faculty published in IEEE and DST-sponsored research . The IT and IT – BI programs, oldest at IIIT-A, boast a dedicated faculty of 25+ PhD holders and state-of-the-art computing clusters with a 20 Gbps campus network .

Placement consistency favors IT (average package ?34.7 LPA, 96% placement) over IT – BI (?32.7 LPA, 96% placement) and ECE (?29.1 LPA, 95% placement) in the last three years, with major recruiters such as Google, Microsoft, Amazon and Goldman Sachs visiting annually . Internship stipends range ?50–200 K/month under TPO coordination.

Recommendation: Maintain the ECE seat for assured admission and strong core-engineering labs, then pursue targeted upskilling in IT or Business Informatics through electives and projects to leverage IIIT-A’s robust placement networks for your son’s preferred specialization.

Good Evening Sir. Result of csab-1 in it in iiit allahabad is crl 6776 announced. Request expert opinion please regarding possibility of it in iiit allahabad for jee mains crl 6812 in 2025 upto csab-3 rounds. Please reply me Sir. Regards

Ans: IIIT Allahabad’s CSAB Round 1 closing rank for Information Technology was CRL 6776, following JoSAA Round 6 where IT closed at 6094 and Electronics & Communication at 8050. Special rounds typically expand cutoffs by 800–1200 ranks, driven by seat vacancies and reservations. Given this trend, CSAB R2 and R3 may push the IT cutoff above 7500, positioning a CRL of 6812 within reach. Alternative streams like IT (Business Informatics) and ECE maintain even higher cutoffs, offering secure options. Monitoring each round’s official closing ranks and keeping flexible branch preferences enhances your admission prospects for any available seats at IIIT Allahabad.

Recommendation: Engage proactively in CSAB R2 and R3 with IT as your primary choice and ECE or Business Informatics as backups. Please consider adjusting your preferences according to each round’s cutoff updates and promptly confirm your allotment to secure admission.
