Both IIIT Kota and NIT Delhi are government colleges and come with a fancy tag of IIIT and NIT. But LNMIIT is better than the above two. Here are the reasons why.

• Academics and Cultural Fests at LNMIIT are much better than those of IIIT Kota and NIT Delhi.
• LNMIIT is well established as it was established much before IIIT Kota and NIT Delhi. Due to the above point, it has a vast alumni network.
• The academic and Coding environment at LNMIIT is much better than IIIT Kota and NIT Delhi and hence it provides ample opportunities for its students to grow.
• Not just is Coding, LNMIIT provides many opportunities in other fields too.
• There are many societies and clubs like tech clubs, sports clubs, etc which provides everyone with a fair chance to grow and get involved in things he likes.

Finally, if you are a learning enthusiast and are keen to explore new things, you won't regret joining this college. My friend was torn between choices a few years back, and after much consideration he chooses LNMIIT. Based on his experience, I can say it was the right decision. 

I have a few friends from both Thapar University and LNM-IIT Jaipur and based on the reviews I got from them, I will say LNMIIT Jaipur will be a better option. Here are the reasons why.

• Batch Strength: The total number of students at LNMIIT is less than 600, so the competition will be less in this college. 
• Placements: The placement scenario of this college is excellent. Top companies like Microsoft, Amazon, Oyo, Uber visit the campus for placements. Samsung is a mass recruiter in this college and has offered packages of more than 13 lakhs per annum. According to the recent placement highlights the average and highest CTC offered to the students are 12 LPA and 58 LPA respectively. Students also perform well in off-campus placements. 
• Workshops: There are various kinds of workshops such as GSoC, mun, and many cultural and technical fests organized in the college. 
• Reservations: There are no reservations or state quotas for admission. 
• Coding Culture: The campus has a good coding culture. 

Hence, LNMIIT is a very good place to pursue CSE, but a college is just a medium and it completely depends on how you can utilize your 4 years in the college. Your success will depend on your hard work and efforts. 

Among the colleges mentioned, the major competition lies between BIT Mesra and IIIT Lucknow. However, this can be compared and proved by the kind of students that take admission in those two colleges in comparison to LNMIIT.

Following are some of the pointers that will give an unbiased review of both the colleges :

IIIT Lucknow

1. You will come across an outstanding coding culture.
2. Its perfect location, located in its city is a major advantage.
3. Its average package is quite comparable to other IITs too in a very shorter duration of time.
4. It holds better fame than other IIITs.
5. You will experience a wide diversity in culture whether it's related to skills or belongings of students.
6. You will have more freedom.
7. You will come out as an important asset for the country for sure.

BIT Mesra

1. You will get access to better infrastructure.
2. You will experience better campus life.
3. You will get a stronger connection to the alumni network.
4. It holds a bigger campus area.
5. Its reputation is top out of other IIITs.

In conclusion, IIIT Lucknow’s progress is many times faster than BIT Mesra. Even the B.Tech course in Computer Science at Indian Institute of Information Technology, Lucknow has the lowest fees than the other two colleges.

LMN Institute of Information & Technology and BIT Mesra are both premiere engineering institutes. The choice between two would lead to a clear cut decision for LNMIIT. 

It can be taken on the basis of factors like:

• Placement

The placements are quite decent as it attracts the top companies across the country offering a good amount of packages. The career development opportunities are in quite a large number leading to a good growth in terms of career graph ahead. 

The data can be looked upon as follows:

• Faculty

There are qualified faculty members that make education more realistic and research oriented. They provide the best experience in their field, making it even more remarkable.

• Coding Culture

BIT Mesra has a weaker coding culture in their campus unlike LMN IIT. The Cultural committee, Sports committee and literary club are important elements. 

• Infrastructural Facility

A lot of hardships have been encountered on the part of accommodation in BIT Mesra, making it a deterrent altogether. Infrastructure is a major factor when you choose a college. 

LMNIIT on the other hand has provided good residential facilities with full access to important equipment without major administrative situations. 

The other important factor to be kept in mind is that BIT Mesra & Ranchi are two different colleges and the notion that Mesra campus is good so Jaipur is also good is clearly not acceptable. A clear point of view stands in favour of LNMIIT in purview of all the mentioned details.
