HELLO
To be honest, 80 is an amazing score but it does not guarantee your seat into IITs. For getting into an IIT, you need to score good in JEE mains and advance. Admissions into IITs is only based on that. All the best !
Hello,
Undoubtedly IIT Guwahati is a better among the three IITs because it is considered to be among the top 7-8 IITs. So, the cut off for cse branch IIT Guwahati is also under 600-700 so you need to score really good to get the cse branch over there.
The infrastructure and view of IIT Guwahati is just amazing you will enjoy the campus life. I can be rest assured of that.
But the other IITs are not so good with computer science branch and are not considered to be among the top ones. IIT Patna is comparatively a newer IIT.
