Start with the fee you can commit to. Across Allahabad the published first-year fee runs from ₹3,600 to ₹5.98 L, so the shortlist changes completely depending on the band you pick.

Government or private. 2 of these are government-run and 34 are private. Government colleges are usually cheaper and admit on entrance rank; private colleges are more likely to have their own admission route.

Check the ranking applies to your course. 4 of these hold an NIRF rank, but NIRF is scored per category — a rank in one category says nothing about another.

Then read the placement tab, not the headline package. The highest package is one student; the percentage placed and the recruiters listed tell you far more.
