You seemed to have performed quite well considering your JEE rank and BITSAT score. While most board toppers fail to do well in competitive exams, you managed to excellently score well in all competitive exams. You seem to have great opportunities ahead if you join BITS Pilani, Pilani Campus, and CSE. considering your ranks and your being a board topper, you can easily maintain an 8 +. The only major drawback is the high fees for which you can seek assistance from the institute regarding scholarships. 

Here are a few pros of BITS Pilani CSE

  • Top-notch placements
  • Excellent exposure
  • A flexible college life with responsibilities

If you face serious financial issues and are unable to get BITS, don't lose hope as other colleges offer great opportunities too. The best way to determine the worth of an institute is to evaluate it on the basis of fees, placements, campus life, and academic and professional exposure. Analyze your preferences and go for the institute that satisfies your preferences the most.

Has my daughter made the right decision by taking a CSE at IIIT Hyderabad instead of electrical at IIT Roorkee?

JP
Jiten Pradhan Posted On : August 3rd, 2023
Studied at Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University, Hyderabad (2020)

Although it actually depends on your daughter's interests and career goals, I would say choosing CSE at IIIT Hyderabad was a smart decision indeed unless she has a specific inclination toward Electrical Engineering.

IIIT Hyderabad CSE can be highly compared to the CSE programs of the top 6 IITs. It has a highly updated and relevant curriculum that is CS tailored to suit the needs of future coders. Moreover, the institute focuses a lot on practical learning which prepares them for the future. IIITs are undergoing fast-paced development and might take over the IT world very soon. 

Another aspect that makes IIIT Hyderabad a better choice than IIT Roorkee is its no-reservation policies. The students here are admitted solely based on merit so you will always be surrounded by geniuses.

So yes the IIT tag matters but not more than our branch preferences, and that being said, IIIT Hyderabad is the best for CSE so your daughter has made a wise decision!

Which would be better for a B.Tech in mechanical engineering: IIT Hyderabad or IIT Guwahati? Why?

BG
Bidita Ghose Posted On : May 3rd, 2023
Lives in Bengaluru, Karnataka, India

Although both IIT Hyderabad and IIT Guwahati are excellent engineering institutes, my knowledge is limited to the BTech in Mechanical Engineering from IIT Hyderabad as my sister is a recent pass out of the same.

Research: IIT Hyderabad in general and its Mechanical branch specifically focuses on invention and innovation. You will be astonished to know that currently there are more than 100 ongoing research and consultancy projects under the faculty and students. The research culture at IIT Hyderabad is stronger than many older IITs even. IIT Hyderabad is known globally for MS and Ph. Ds placements.

The new IIT tag: Being one of the new IITs, it lacks the credibility of the IIT tag. However, it’s the contrary. Being new, it guarantees better facilities and well-equipped labs. The mechanical department has been upgraded with equipment worth 70 crores over the last few years. The Institute has one of the best research environments in the country.

Culture: At IIT Hyderabad you have to learn to master balancing your extracurriculars alongside your academics. You cannot afford to lose on any kind of experience that IIT Hyderabad has to offer. Exploring everything will help you hone your talents to the fullest and identify your passions.

Placements: Here’s an amazing fact, Mechanical Engineering is the first department to have its own Training and Placement Cell at IIT Hyderabad. Moreover, the extensive contacts of the professors (under which you work or study) with industry experts, help you secure off-campus placements easily.

What do you know about an all-course M.Tech at IIT Hyderabad?

SA
Shruti Agarwal Posted On : May 9th, 2023
Studied at Indian Institute of Technology, Hyderabad (IITH)

My friend has completed All-course MTech at IIT Hyderabad and claims that it has zero recognition outside IIT Hyderabad with a dearth of job opportunities. The course is a one-year program that does not require you to write a thesis/research. All you need to do is study courses in the classrooms. This is a very poor choice for those targeting a Ph.D. as this program isn’t known even at other IITs. 

You will be given alien treatment and will end up wasting Lakhs on a useless degree. The majority of the IIT Hyderabad community is unaware of this course. The curriculum is poorly designed and very rigid. The world is intense, sparing you no time for extracurriculars. The majority of the first batch left the course within a few days.

The course is a complete waste of money and time so I am strongly against anyone joining it.

IIT Hyderabad has two accommodation options. Every student is allotted a single room irrespective of their year. Students are allotted double occupancy rooms.

How do I reach IIT Hyderabad by train?

AS
Ayush Singh Posted On : February 12th, 2024
Studied at IIT Hyderabad

The previous answer mentions MMTS. MMTS are the local intercity trains. They run across Hyderabad and the neighboring suburban areas that connect Hyderabad, Secunderabad, Falaknuma, Lingampally, Medchal and Umdanagar. 

If you miss the special IITH bus and want a more affordable option than cab/auto, here is another option. You can reach Patancheru bus complex by auto. From there, you can take a bus to Medak. There isn’t a bus stop near the campus. But the college has a request bus stop allotted by TSRTC. You can ask the conductor to drop you off at the IIT Hyderabad main gate. From there, the college bus will take you inside the campus. The college buses arrive every 15 minutes at the main gate. 

The tall college buildings will be visible to you from the highway, suggesting that you are reaching near the campus.
