Placements: The first of many features of IIITL, which makes this institute very fine from other new institutes, is its excellent placement record ever. Since the passing out year of the first batch is 2019, the placement statistics of IIITL are increasing. In 2018-2019, the highest salary package offered was 28 LPA, while the average salary package offered was 11.37 LPA, which is quite an achievement for an institute in its infancy. The real ability of IIITL was proven in 2019-2020 placements where the highest salary package offered was up to 43 LPA, whereas the average salary package offered was 18.42 LPA. The lowest salary package offered was 10 LPA. This year there was a 100% placement rate, which is almost not possible in new institutes. Top recruiting companies here were prestigious companies like Amazon, Google, Microsoft, LinkedIn, Flipkart, Samsung, Paytm, TCL, Wipro and many more. This placement record is expected to increase in the upcoming years.

Infrastructure: IIITL was established in 2015 under the wing of IIIT Allahabad and shifted to its own Lucknow newly built campus in 2019. On the new campus, the infrastructure was up-to-date with all the modern standards, including air-conditioned and spacious classrooms. The hostel building has all the basic facilities and many other facilities. Labs are equipped with all the latest technologies and equipment. The mess serves high-quality meals four times a day, including evening tea. The mess is friendly to both North and South Indians even after being purely vegetarian serving one. The campus is located near the Phoenix Palassio mall, which is the biggest mall in Lucknow and is a perfect destination for a night out. Sports facilities are also above average. This college also has started building a gym on the campus, which will be completed very soon.

Faculty: Faculty members of IIITL are very qualified and experienced in their respective fields. All of them hold a PhD from prestigious institutes and have years of teaching experience. You can study sports as a compulsory subject because it facilitates physical well-being. There are no unnecessary subjects like physics and chemistry which are not at all useful. The coding culture of IIITL is also one of its distinguishing features. IIITL regularly conducts hackathons and coding competitions both among students of the college and students of other colleges.

Other: Seniors in IIITL are very supportive and helpful. There are also many clubs in which freshers can join. Those clubs are literary society named Crotonia, photography society named Afterdark, dance society and many more. This institute organises an annual cultural fest called Equinox, in which many events are held.

Hope this helps.

All the best.
