Hi,
Yes, you are absolutely right. Some IIITs such as IIIT Allahabad, IIIT Hyderabad, IIIT Bhuwaneshwar etc are far more better than the lower NITs with a more better campus life as well as placements. So you can go for these IIITs if you don't get an admission into a good NIT. You can use our college predictor tool for more information.
