Hi Arjun,

IIITDM Kancheepuram was established in the year 2007 as one of the institutes of national importance. It has a great campus, well-qualified and experienced faculty and campus life is good too.

IIITDM Kancheepuram's B. Tech Computer Engineering curriculum is modelled on the recommendations by ACM (Association of Computer Machinery) and is the first of its kind engineering program offered in India. This program is aimed at producing engineers equipped with all required skills. The institute also has the most advanced laboratories for CSE students and also provides internship opportunities. Placements are good with an average package of 7-8 LPA by companies like TCS, Wipro, Amazon, PayPal etc.

IIIT Lucknow is currently operating from its temporary campus at IIIT Allahabad and the new campus will come up at IT City, Lucknow, which may take a few more years to be ready. The B.Tech.(CS-AI) course has been designed to prepare an aspirant engineer to understand and solve core problems such as operating system design, software development along with next-gen AI technologies like machine learning, neural networks, deep learning and so on. This is a new course at this institute and also has a bright future. Placements are excellent here for CSE students, with 100% record and average salary package of Rs 17.5 lakhs per annum by companies like Amazon, Flipkart, Goldman Sachs and many more.

If you want to go for the conventional CSE course, you can go for IIITDM Kancheepuram. However, I suggest IIIT Lucknow as the best pick among the two, since the CSE-AI course has great prospects for the future and the placements here are great as well.

Hope it helps. All the best!
