Ans: Hello Samarendra
Prefer CSE at IIIT Dharwad. If CSE is the preferred branch, then drop the idea of Mechanical and Electronics @ NITs if possible.
Best of luck.

Among IIITs in your son’s rank range, IIIT Nagpur leads with an 88.5% placement rate, average package ?13.11 LPA, median ?11 LPA, and participation from 200+ recruiters like Adobe and Accenture.

IIIT Raichur’s emerging 68.8% placement rate with average ?18 LPA and median ?15 LPA positions it as a growing option. All IIITs are Institutes of National Importance, offering robust labs, research centers, student clubs, and industry internships under PPP models.

Final Recommendation: Select IIIT Nagpur CSE for its superior 88.5% placement rate, ?13.11 LPA average package, and diversified recruiter pool. Next, consider IIIT Kalyani CSE & DS for its 89.33% placements and solid PPP backing. Third is IIIT Dharwad CSE, offering a balanced ?10 LPA average, followed by IIIT Kottayam AI & DS for ?12.66 LPA average. Choose PES University CSE only if private-university infrastructure and near-100% placements outweigh the specialized focus of IIITs; IIIT Bhubaneswar CSE and IIIT Raichur CSE serve as reliable backups. All the BEST for the Admission & a Prosperous Future!

Ans: Bijay Sir, IIIT Bhagalpur’s CSE under the PPP model has rapidly emerged with a 95.4% placement rate in 2023, an average package rising to ?15.61 LPA, and a median of ?10 LPA, supported by strong GoI–state–industry collaborations, project-based learning and modern computing, AI/ML, and networking labs fostering research engagement. IIIT Kottayam, also in PPP mode, achieved an 83% placement rate in 2024 with a ?12.66 LPA average, backed by 86 recruiters, extensive AI/data science labs and industry-mentored internships for practical skill development. IIIT Kalyani’s CSE recorded an 89.33% placement rate and ?10.72 LPA average in 2024, with focused software engineering and cybersecurity labs, robust PhD-faculty mentorship, and growing research centres. IIIT Bhubaneswar, a fully state-funded IIIT, delivers a government-backed curriculum with specialized computing and networking infrastructure, but its CSE branch saw a 71% placement rate and ?9 LPA average in 2024, reflecting its nascent maturity compared to newer PPP institutes. Brand value and alumni networks at Bhagalpur and Kottayam are strengthening swiftly, while Kalyani offers balanced outcomes and Bhubaneswar promises stability under state funding.

For the strongest placement trajectory, industry partnership, and cutting-edge labs, the recommendation is IIIT Bhagalpur CSE. Next is IIIT Kottayam CSE for solid average packages and growing recruiter ties. Third, the recommendation shifts to IIIT Kalyani CSE for consistent outcomes and research focus. Lastly, IIIT Bhubaneswar CSE as a reliable state-funded option should upgrades not materialize. All the BEST for Admission & a Prosperous Future!
