Ans: Alkesh, PICT Pune’s IT program, secured through MHT-CET, stands out with a stellar placement record of 85–93% over the past three years, industry-aligned curriculum, established infrastructure, and urban exposure, attracting top recruiters and fostering wide alumni networks. Hostel facilities are limited but well-maintained, with single and shared rooms and essential amenities. IIIT Nagpur’s ECE program, via CSAB, has seen placement rates near 80–85%, robust research opportunities, and high industry engagement. The hostels are spacious and modern, though sometimes face space constraints. IIIT Surat’s ECE also enjoys a sound academic reputation, 65–70% placement rates, transparent selection, and growing corporate linkage, but has limited hostel access and is still building its permanent campus facilities. IIIT Dharwad CSE, with a 62–66% placement rate, offers a broad software-focused curriculum and comfortable, well-planned residential facilities. All three IIITs follow updated curricula with strong faculty support and national recognition, but regional context can influence industry exposure and campus opportunities.

Recommendation: Choose PICT Pune IT as the top preference for its urban setting, exceptionally high placements, and technical ecosystem, followed by IIIT Nagpur ECE for its strong facilities and academic brand, then IIIT Dharwad CSE for core computing and campus life, and last IIIT Surat ECE for developing but promising prospects. All the BEST for a Prosperous Future!
