Students benefit from specialized AI/ML, VLSI, communication and software laboratories, mandatory six-month internships coordinated by an active Training & Placement Cell and a 97.9% placement rate with an average package of ?33 LPA over the last three years. IIT Patna’s dual degree in Mathematics & Computing integrates B.Tech and M.Tech curricula under NBA guidelines, delivered by research-active faculty in computational mathematics, theoretical computer science and high-performance computing centres.

Hii sir what should I choose IIIT allahabad IT or NIT surathkal ECE I have equal interest towards above fields
Ans: Roshan, IIIT Allahabad’s B.Tech in Information Technology, an Institute of National Importance since 2014, holds NAAC A+ accreditation, NBA approval for its IT department, and features specialized software-development, data-analytics and networking labs. Its faculty includes PhD holders from IITs and global universities, and strong industry partnerships yield a consistent 97–98% placement rate for IT students over the past three years. NIT Surathkal’s B.Tech in Electronics & Communication Engineering, with NAAC A+ accreditation and NIRF ranking of 17, offers advanced VLSI, signal-processing and embedded-systems labs alongside active research centres. Experienced faculty guide students through practice-school internships, and the ECE branch achieved a 72.7% placement rate in 2024, driven by recruiters from core and software sectors. Both institutes maintain robust alumni networks, comprehensive career-development cells, and curricular emphasis on emerging technologies, differing primarily in domain focus and placement consistency.

Recommendation: Prioritize IIIT Allahabad IT for its near-universal placement consistency, dedicated IT infrastructure, and interdisciplinary research opportunities; choose NIT Surathkal ECE if your interest leans toward hardware-oriented specializations, core-engineering labs and a prestigious NIT environment with solid, though comparatively lower, placement outcomes. All the BEST for Admission & a Prosperous Future!

what should I choose mnnit allabahad ece or iiit allahabad ece? Please tell I am very confused
Ans: MNNIT Allahabad and IIIT Allahabad are both highly reputed, government-accredited institutes with robust Electronics and Communication Engineering (ECE) departments. MNNIT Allahabad, ranked 60th in NIRF 2024, is NBA and AICTE accredited, features a large, diverse campus, and admits around 180 ECE students annually. Its ECE branch places a strong emphasis on applied engineering with a supportive peer environment, modern labs, and a placement rate of 88–96% across the last three years. Recent data shows ECE average packages at MNNIT have ranged from ?19–23 LPA, with the highest CTC reaching ?82.6 LPA and most major software and core companies—including Amazon, Qualcomm, TCS, and Samsung—offering top roles. The institute’s vibrant extracurricular life and diverse student crowd foster holistic growth and leadership skills.

IIIT Allahabad, AICTE and UGC approved, enjoys a strong national standing (NIRF 87 in 2024) and is known for its advanced research-driven, tech-centric campus culture. Its ECE program integrates cutting-edge curriculum with expertise in emerging domains like AI, IoT, and VLSI, making graduates ready for high-growth technology sectors. IIIT Allahabad’s ECE average placement rates have consistently hovered around 93–98% in recent cycles, with average CTCs between ?25–33 LPA and top offers above ?1 crore per annum, often in software product and data domains. The compact, residential campus ensures close-knit mentorship, updated infrastructure, and leading coding culture. Its industry connections attract recruiters such as Google, Microsoft, and Goldman Sachs, and the blend of advanced labs with active research centers supports dynamic learning and innovation.

Both colleges score well on faculty quality, industry partnerships, peer culture, and placement transparency, though IIIT Allahabad tends to attract higher software roles and offers deeper tech integration, while MNNIT boasts broader alumni outreach, a traditional NIT brand, and a bigger, more diverse campus life.

RECOMMENDATION: IIIT Allahabad ECE is the stronger choice for those prioritizing high-end technology roles, research-driven training, and advanced placement opportunities, especially in software, AI, and electronics domains. Select MNNIT Allahabad ECE if you value broader campus engagement, diverse engineering exposure, and the NIT brand; but overall, IIIT Allahabad ECE offers a progressive edge in curriculum, placements, and professional readiness for the evolving tech industry. All the BEST for a Prosperous Future!

Tech Careers and Skill Development Expert - Answered on Dec 05, 2025

Career
Dear Sir, I did my BTech from a normal engineering college not very famous. The teaching was not great and hence i did not study well. I tried my best to learn coding including all the technologies like html,css,javascript,react js,dba,php because i wanted to be a web developer But nothing seem to enter my head except html and css. I don't understand a language which has more complexities. Is it because of my lack of experience or not devoting enough time. I am not sure. I did many courses online and tried to do diplomas also abroad which i passed somehow. I recently joined android development course because i like apps but the teaching was so fast that i could not memorize anything. There was no time to even take notes down. During the course i did assignments and understood the code because i have to pass but after the course is over i tend to forget everything. I attempted a lot of interviews. Some of them i even got but could not perform well so they let me go. Now due to the AI booming and job markets in a bad shape i am re-thinking whether to keep studying or whether its just time waste. Since 3 years i am doing labour type of jobs which does not yield anything to me for survival and to pay my expenses. I have the quest to learn everything but as soon as i sit in front of the computer i listen to music or read something else. What should i do to stay more focused? What should i do to make myself believe confident. Is there still scope of IT in todays world? Kindly advise.
Ans: Your story does not show failure.
It shows persistence, effort, and desire to improve.

Most people give up.
You didn’t.
That means you will succeed — but with the right method, not the old one.

Dating, Relationships Expert - Answered on Dec 04, 2025

Asked by Anonymous - Dec 02, 2025Hindi
Relationship
My married ex still texts me for comfort. Because of him, I am unable to move on. He makes me feel guilty by saying he got married out of family pressure. His dad is a cardiac patient and mom is being treated for cancer. He comforts me by saying he will get separated soon and we will get married because he only loves me. We have been in a relationship for 14 years and despite everything we tried, his parents refused to accept me, so he chose to get married to someone who understands our situation. I don't know when he will separate from his wife. She knows about us too but she comes from a traditional family. She also confirmed there is no physical intimacy between them. I trust him, but is it worth losing my youth for him? Honestly, I am worried and very confused.
Ans: Dear Anonymous,
I understand how difficult it is to let go of a relationship you have built from scratch, but is it really how you want to continue? It really seems to be going nowhere. His parents are already in bad health and he married someone else for their happiness. Does it seem like he will be able to leave her? So many people’s happiness and lives depend on this one decision. I think it’s about time you and your BF have a clear conversation about the same. If he can’t give a proper timeline, please try to understand his situation. But also make sure he understands yours and maybe rethink this equation. It really isn’t healthy. You deserve a love you can have wholly, and not just in pieces, and in the shadows.

Hope this helps
