I am getting a Transport Allowance through my salary. I am daily going to office by own vehicle. Can i claim conveyance allowance tax exemption while filing of Income Tax. Please clarify.

Ans: No, you cannot claim both Transport Allowance and Conveyance Allowance as tax exemptions. Transport Allowance is an allowance paid by an employer to an employee to meet the cost of commuting between his/her residence and the place of work. It is a taxable allowance for employees.

On the other hand, Conveyance Allowance is given to employees to meet their travel expenses incurred in the performance of their duties. Conveyance Allowance can be claimed as a tax exemption under certain conditions, but it cannot be claimed along with Transport Allowance.

If you are using your own vehicle to commute to work, you can claim Conveyance Allowance as a tax exemption. However, the exemption is limited to Rs. 1,600 per month or actual conveyance allowance received, whichever is lower.

Hello sir, I have asked earlier too but didn't got any reply. I got around 48k rank in mains I have options such as IIIT Kota ece and ai&ds , IIIT bhopal ece, IIIT Surat ece, iiit una ece.. Also choice in aktu such as IET Lucknow cse and there is one choice of zhcet AMU, i have applied for it and getting ece in it. This college is in my home town... please help me suggest the right choice.
Ans: IIIT Kota’s ECE program combines a well-qualified faculty with industry experience and a curriculum updated for IoT and VLSI design, supported by modern electronics labs and strong recruiter ties; its placement rate has averaged 80% over the last three years, with 73.58% in 2024. The new AI&DS branch, though backed by Kota’s placement cell, lacks three-year placement data. IIIT Bhopal’s ECE department features distinguished PhD faculty, excellent lab infrastructure, a balanced core-and-AI curriculum, and direct industry collaborations, achieving placement rates of 96.66% in 2022, 86.66% in 2023, and 72.5% in 2025. IIIT Surat offers a compact permanent campus, focused ECE labs, and a curriculum aligned to semiconductor and 5G, but its ECE placement dipped from 59% in 2023 to 68% in 2024. IIIT Una’s ECE branch benefits from a dedicated centre for electronics research, solid laboratory resources, and campus-industry projects, yielding 59% placements in 2024 and 83.33% in 2025. IET Lucknow’s CSE program scores high on comprehensive teaching, large-scale labs, coding clubs, active placement cell and 80–90% placements in emerging tech roles. ZHCET AMU’s ECE offers seasoned faculty, a historic campus, and a broad core syllabus, with placement rates of approximately 60–70% over recent years.

Recommendation: IIIT Bhopal ECE stands out for its exceptional faculty and research-driven curriculum, consistently high placement rates and robust industry partnerships, followed by IIIT Kota ECE for its modern labs and steady recruitership, then IIIT Una ECE for its recent placement surge and research focus, with IET Lucknow CSE, IIIT Surat ECE and ZHCET AMU ECE in subsequent order based on infrastructure, academic rigor and placement consistency. All the BEST for a Prosperous Future!

IIIT PUNE ECE OR IIIT NAYA RAIPUR ECE
Ans: IIIT Pune’s ECE program excels in faculty qualifications with predominantly PhD-holding professors and a curriculum aligned to emerging technologies, while its infrastructure is transitioning from a temporary to a permanent campus featuring modern labs and a 300-seat auditorium; industry connections include on-campus drives by Amazon, NVIDIA, PayPal and others, but placement percentages for B.Tech ECE have consistently hovered around 25–26% over the last three years, reflecting highly selective hiring trends. IIIT Naya Raipur’s ECE branch boasts a state-of-the-art permanent campus with dedicated ECE labs and 5G testbeds, robust research initiatives in VLSI and signal processing, and strong industry engagement through recruiters like Deloitte, Ericsson and American Express; its placement rates have declined from 100% for the 2021–22 batch to approximately 78% for the 2023–24 batch, demonstrating a more competitive recruitment landscape, while scholarships and financial support are currently more limited compared to Pune.

Recommendation: IIIT Naya Raipur ECE emerges as the stronger option owing to its superior permanent campus infrastructure, dedicated research facilities, and broader recruiter base, which together offer Electronics and Communication Engineering students a more comprehensive academic and career environment. All the BEST for a Prosperous Future!
