Main ideas, concepts, and lessons conveyed

  • Purpose of the video

    • The speaker explains that JEE Main choice filling is happening, and many students are confused about Triple IITs (commonly referred to as IIITs: Indian Institute of Information Technology).
    • He aims to provide a “fees, placements, cutoff & reality check” overview of all 26 IIITs and help students decide which ones are:
      • “good”
      • “okay”
      • to avoid (“greet from a distance” / prefer not to go)

  • Core “reality check” themes

    • Placement data may be incomplete or missing on some official IIIT websites.
    • Campus readiness can be an issue
      • Some IIITs may not have a fully built campus.
      • Classes/hostels may run from temporary locations in other institutions/government campuses.
    • Reported placements may look inflated or inconsistent
      • The speaker argues that some colleges’ placement brochures use marketing-style presentation (e.g., showing “offers” or filtered numbers) instead of clean metrics like students placed.
    • Government/NIRF-style data is treated as more reliable
      • A repeated method is to compare college-reported data with government data to check consistency.

  • Methodology implied: how the speaker evaluates IIITs

    • He claims to do extensive research and build a dataset including:
      • Campus status: whether it exists, where it is, size/acres, hostel location
      • Fees: tuition/hostel/admission/caution/alumni charges
      • Cutoffs: category-wise and branch-wise, based on recent JoSAA/JEE counseling years
      • Placement metrics such as:
        • average/median CTC
        • highest CTC
        • placement percentage (students placed / registered / eligible)
        • where relevant, higher studies percentages
    • Key emphasis: students should not rely only on brochures—they must verify using official/government datasets.

  • Choice-filling advice (practical lesson)

    • Students should customize choice filling carefully rather than blindly ordering preferences.
    • Before finalizing branch order, the speaker repeatedly instructs students to consider at least:
      • Average package
      • Median salary
      • Placement percentage
      • Highest package (optional but informative)
    • If a student gets a lower-placement branch due to preference ordering, it can lock them—because the cutoff rank won’t improve for better options afterward.

Specific examples and claims made about particular IIITs (as discussed)

Triple IT Allahabad (treated as top/strong example)

  • Campus/capacity
    • Described as large (around 100 acres) and relatively older (established 1999 mentioned).
  • Placement strength
    • For IT branch:
      • average ~33 LPA (2024–25)
      • earlier year average around ~26 LPA
      • highest mentioned about ~1.20 crore
    • Placement percentages described as very high:
      • IT and business system around ~92–94%
      • another branch around ~84%
  • Cutoff
    • Comparable to top NITs for CSE/IT (speaker emphasizes high competitiveness).
  • Message
    • Even for “top” outcomes, results depend on course fit and execution (“good bike but you must be able to ride”).

Triple IT Lucknow (speaker’s favorite)

  • Infrastructure/campus
    • Built in 2015, with its own campus and hostels (about 50 acres).
  • Placements
    • Strong multi-year narrative (often “100%/90%+” style claims).
    • Average package around ~29 LPA, with higher numbers cited (e.g., ~34 LPA in 2025).
    • Domestic highest stated about ~1.45 crore.
  • Cutoff
    • Approximate guidance: CSE cutoff under ~13,000 rank.
  • Fees
    • Total fee estimates discussed; stated to increase with hostel and other charges.

Triple IT Gwalior

  • Placement
    • Described as strong across programs (BTech, integrated BTech+MBA, 5-year BTech+MTech).
  • Fees
    • Claimed to be lower than private institutes (government).
  • Cutoffs
    • General CSE around ~11201 rank (approximate).
  • Overall positioning
    • “Good placement + not very high fees.”

Triple IT Jabalpur (mixed placement reality, lower than top ones)

  • Capacity
    • Campus mentioned ~260 acres, established 2005.
  • Cutoffs
    • General CSE around ~16611 rank (approximate).
  • Placement metrics (as claimed)
    • CSE:
      • lowest package ~7 LPA
      • highest package ~1.35 crore
      • average ~19 LPA
      • median ~13 LPA
    • Placement rate:
      • CSE described around ~85% (example: 200/235 placed)
    • Other programs:
      • EC around ~53–57% (fewer placed)
      • Smart manufacturing: low placement percentages (e.g., ~53%, with further drop mentioned in 2025 data)
  • Fees
    • Semester fee and hostel fee described with numeric estimates; total semester cost estimated.

Triple IT Kanchipuram (speaker strongly questions placement reliability)

  • Campus
    • Permanent campus around ~51 acres, established 2007.
  • Cutoff
    • Comparatively low for CSE: “CSE closes around ~22k rank.”
  • Placement concerns
    • Speaker claims (via government data) many students are not placed:
      • 157/321 placed (year referenced as part of multi-year comparison)
      • 141/314 placed in 2024
      • 101/179 placed another year
      • median around ~10 LPA
  • “Offer vs placement” manipulation explanation
    • Speaker argues some colleges may publish offer counts rather than placements.
    • Example given to show distortion:
      • If 100 students exist, 110 offers come, and 80 get jobs:
        • “offer %” can exceed 100% while “placement %” remains 80%.
  • Conclusion
    • Placement optics can be misleading even when facilities seem adequate and the campus is established.

Triple IT Sri City

  • Positioning
    • Cutoffs described as lower; campus around ~81 acres, established 2013 (similar timeframe).
  • Placement
    • Speaker claims website appears strong:
      • placement percentage around ~76%
      • average/median around ~19 LPA / ~14 LPA
    • Verification with government data:
      • example figures like 309 graduates and 235 placed mentioned.
  • Fees
    • Described as expensive for tuition and hostel; approximate figures discussed.
  • Admission rank guidance
    • Suggested minimum rank ranges for different categories (general/EWS/OBC constraints mentioned approximately).

Triple IT Guwahati

  • Cutoff
    • Claimed higher than Sri City due to fee differences.
  • Fees
    • Speaker disputes confusion: tuition fee may be about ~₹72,000 (excluding hostel); other charges separate.
  • Placement (as claimed)
    • CSE:
      • about 107/151 placed
      • average around ~17 LPA
      • median discussed ~12 LPA
    • EC:
      • weaker: 31/55 placed
      • low median (~7.84 LPA claimed)
  • Further claim
    • Speaker uses government data to argue overall placement percentages decline across lower-ranked/other IIITs.

Triple IT Pune

  • Cutoff
    • Speaker says CSE closes around ~27,000 (approx), and entry difficulty is steep.
  • Placement
    • Speaker claims government data shows instability:
      • 2024: 55/190 placed, median around ~11 LPA
      • 2025: somewhat better (e.g., 129/195 placed)
  • “Manipulation / trajectory” argument
    • Speaker suggests published percentages may improve later due to delayed off-campus placements or changing definitions.
    • Mentions an earlier story where placement was “25% till 6th July” and later improved.

Triple IT Bhopal

  • Mentioned briefly at the end as the next part in the series; no details provided in this excerpt.

Instructional checklist / “how to decide”

How the speaker says students should perform choice filling for IIITs

  1. Step 1: Prepare inputs
    • Use your JEE Main rank and category.
    • Collect branch-wise cutoffs from recent years (he mentions last 2–3 year trends).
  2. Step 2: Build an IIIT + branch shortlist
    • For each IIIT option, evaluate:
      • whether it has its own campus (or runs from temporary locations)
      • hostel location distance (inside vs far away)
      • labs/infrastructure readiness (implied from campus status)
  3. Step 3: Evaluate branch placement quality using at least these metrics
    • Average package (CTC)
    • Median salary
    • Placement percentage (students actually placed, not just offers)
    • Optionally check highest package
  4. Step 4: Verify against more reliable sources
    • Cross-check college brochures against government/NIRF-style data when available.
    • Be cautious if brochures show:
      • company lists without placement statistics
      • internship brochure mislabeled as placement brochure
      • “offers” instead of “placements”
  5. Step 5: Rank choices carefully
    • If you choose a branch with weak placements, it may harm your outcomes because you might get locked into that branch.
  6. Step 6: Spend enough time
    • He explicitly recommends investing serious time into choice filling (days before submission).
