What is it like to be at IIIT Hyderabad?
One of my friends shared her experience at IIIT Hyderabad. He had a rather smooth experience initially but something made him change his mind.
He is a dual degree student and has no interest in his Masters' stream CSE and thus is finding it very challenging to cope with his thesis. Additionally, the administration had tightened up on the rule for mandatory publication as a prerequisite to graduation. He did not like the sudden change in the rules especially for 5th, 6th, 7Th year students.
How does CS at IIIT Hyderabad compare to BITS Pilani?
Comparing IIIT Hyderabad and BITS Pilani cannot be done in terms of with as both are reputed institutes. However, they can be compared on the basis of individual parameters.
For instance
- Campus: BITS
- Placements: IIIT Hyderabad
- Coding: IIIT Hyderabad
Now it’s up to you to decide which factor will affect you the most. In my opinion choosing IIIT Hyderabad over BITS Pilani is a no-brainer as IIIT Delhi is the best when it comes to CSE. Its curriculum is designed exceptionally well. Apart from this, it fairs well in terms of modern technology, infrastructure, faculties, placements, and greater opportunities for higher studies and research. The only institutes that give IIIT Hyderabad an edge are IIT Bombay and IISc Bangalore. You are bound to gain a lot of fun experience and knowledge at IIIT Hyderabad and won’t regret joining it ever.
However, this definitely does not mean BITS Pilani is not any good. It’s just that the outcomes offered by both institutes are different. If you want to go for MBA or Government Services in the future, BITS Pilani is a good choice as it offers a wider range of opportunities in contrast to CSE at IIIT Hyderabad which is suitable only if you want to stay in this field till the end.
Why is the cut-off of IIIT Hyderabad so high that it is in fact higher than the top NITs?
It’s wrong to say that IIIT Hyderabad Cutoff has its cutoff more than NITs when NITs are the ones who are lowering the cutoffs with each passing year. IIIT-Hyderabad has been maintaining its standard from the beginning. Here are a few reasons why IIIT Hyderabad has high cutoffs

Has anyone chosen IIIT Hyderabad over IIT?
Yes, one of my cousins decided to go for IIIT Hyderabad although he had the option of an IIT. The reason he made this decision was because he was certain of a career in CSE and wasn’t getting CSE in the top IITs. He was well aware that the IIIT Hyderabad CSE course is one of the best and toughest in India.
Today his father is proud of his bold decision. He claims the college ration the students in stress management through strict attendance even in games or yoga. The students are always busy with some or the other assignment.
However, the infrastructural facilities are great and the accommodation is quite comfortable. There are laundry services, good eateries, sports facilities, and a very friendly faculty pool.
The best part is the crowd quality as IIIT Hyderabad has no reservation policy. Initially, the compulsory attendance rule may seem a bit rigid but you will realize it does make your life disciplined.
All software giants are aware of the quality of students here and flock in groups to recruit the best minds. The institute has a record of 100% CS placements as it has the best CS course in the entire country with enough focus on research.
So, don’t hesitate from giving preference to IIITs instead of IITs just for the tag.
Do IIIT Hyderabad students (BTech, DD, MTech, MS and PhD) regret not being one of the IITs?
No, I don’t think so. To be honest, my friend who is an IIIT Hyderabad student is much happier and more satisfied than his friends at IITs. He claims that he is in a better position compared to many of his CS and Non-CS counterparts at the IITs. IIIT Hyderabad certainly renders better opportunities in terms of research paper output, coding competitions performances, placements, and Internships. So he is actually grateful for giving up his seats in IITs for a seat in IIIT. In fact, some of his friends had to go to non-CS branches in top IITs just because their ranks were not good enough for IIIT Hyderabad CS.
I hope this made it clear that people joining IIIT Hyderabad have no regret looking at their IIT counterparts whatsoever. If anything, they are grateful for the rare opportunity.

What is the toughest thing to do at IIIT Hyderabad?
I asked my friends at IIIT Hyderabad the toughest things they had to do there and most of them listed these two
- Passing in PT and Yoga is one of the toughest things to do at IIIT Hyderabad.
- Studying for the SSAD, a 3 credit course is quite challenging.
Most of them believed that spending 1 hour daily just for exercise and yoga is a waste of time for a future CS engineer. No doubt, exercise is important but not at the expense of one's academics.
