Hi Ritik! 

Let me guess, your cleared the JEE Advanced 2019 and want to know whether civil engg is your thing and you're deciding your future in terms of moolah which you may or may not make inspite of joining a so called "good" branch.
It all depends on your ability to excel regardless of what you choose to study so please dude stop being the "neighbourhood uncle/aunty" who judge you by what you would be supposedly making 4 years down the line.

Its also upon your interest. If you like computers and want a job in IT company in future,you can go for IIITA. But you will miss IIT kanpur like college life and an iitian tag. So its all upon you whether you want to work in non core sector with an iitian tag or in a IT sector with a high pay job. 

Please upvote if this was helpful to you. 

Thank you and good luck. 

Dear Aspirant,

It is a common saying that chose branch over the college, but in your case, college factor is playing a major role too. Therefore, I suggest you must first decide if you are interested in IT or civil and to clear one misconception COMPUTER SCIENCE & INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY are not the same branches and those lucrative offers you hear about are for Computer Sci and not for IT. 

However, if you are still interested in things like software developments then IT is the branch for you. But given that other college is IIT KANPUR one of the top IITs then I suggest you must go with it provided that you do not have any prior interests. The atmosphere you are going to get at IIT-K is something you will not find anywhere in the country.

Hence, if you do not have any inclination towards any branch, in general, go for IIT KANPUR.

Hope this helps. All the best.

Thank You.
