Is it beneficial to join IIT Hyderabad for an M.Tech (3 years) from a placement point of view?
IIT Hyderabad is one of the fastest growing new IITs and thus it’s highly beneficial to join it for an MTech especially considering its excellent placement scenario.
Owing to its prime location it is visited by top Electronics and Communication and Computer Science companies located in Hyderabad.
IIT Hyderabad provided MTech in various specializations with the best being MTech in
- VLSI
- Communication and Signal Processing
- Machine learning
- Artificial intelligence
All the above programs have great job opportunities and you will get a job in top MNCs like Intel, Qualcomm, and Cisco, Microsoft, and AMD. Usually, the package offered by these MNCs is above INR 20 LPA.
IIT Hyderabad is a good choice if you don’t have the option of any other old IIT, but if you do then go for VLSI or communication and signal processing as options.
What is the academic difference between IIT Hyderabad and other IITs?
IIT Hyderabad has 2 major academic differences that set it apart from other IITs. These are
- Fractal system: Under this, the date of exams and distribution of marks is decided by the professors and nothing is decided beforehand.
- Double Major: Students of IIT Hyderabad can have 2 degrees in BTech and this is called the double major system. The second major can be done by getting extra credits from another department of interest.
There are many other aspects of the academic culture at IIT Hyderabad such as
Holistic Education: IIT Hyderabad focuses on holistic education and does not limit its students to one specialization only. This is enforced through free electives from other engineering, science, arts, and design departments. Some of these courses cover photography, filmmaking, clay modeling, Madhubani painting, etc.
Entrepreneurship: Another unique feature of IIT Hyderabad is its Entrepreneurship minor program. This is open to all IIT Hyderabad students and the courses are taught by industrialists who are entrepreneurs themselves.
So academically, IIT Hyderabad has unique traits such as the fractal system and the double major system.
Is it worth giving 10 lakhs for an M.Tech self-sponsored in IIT Hyderabad?
I think it’s highly illogical to charge such high fees for an MTech self-sponsored at IIT Hyderabad. Usually, they consider industry-sponsored and self-sponsored as equal. However, the fees for sponsored candidates are always higher than for MHRD candidates. So I would recommend you to clear GATE or get into an industry in order to do your Mtech as 10 Lakhs for an MTech is not worth it and might put you in a financial hole. In many cases, self-sponsored students are considered inferior by the professors.
Ultimately, go for it only if you are financially stable and can afford it. Else, go for other options like GATE, industrial jobs, or many other NITs and IITs.
Can I attend classes at IIT Hyderabad as a days scholar, my house is near to the campus and I don't want to stay in hostel?
What rank should I get into Computer Science in IIT Hyderabad?
The rank required to get into Computer Science at IIT Hyderabad varies every year based on various factors such as the difficulty level of the exam, the number of seats available, and the performance of candidates. However, based on previous years' trends, here is an estimate of the rank you should aim for:
- For admission to the Bachelor of Technology (B.Tech) program in Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) at IIT Hyderabad, a rank under 2000 is generally considered a safe bet for General Category candidates.
- However, it is important to note that this is just an estimate, and the cutoff rank may vary from year to year based on various factors.
- The cutoff rank for different categories such as OBC, SC, ST may be different than the General Category.
- It is important to note that the admission to IIT Hyderabad CSE program is based on the Joint Entrance Examination (JEE) Advanced score and rank.
- To get a good rank in JEE Advanced, one needs to have a strong foundation in Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics and should practice a lot of sample papers and mock tests.
- It is also important to stay updated with the latest syllabus and exam pattern and prepare a solid study plan with dedicated time for each subject.
- It is advisable to start preparing for JEE Advanced well in advance and take guidance from experienced teachers or coaching institutes.
In conclusion, to get admission to Computer Science at IIT Hyderabad, one should aim for a rank under 2000 in JEE Advanced. However, the cutoff rank may vary from year to year, and it is important to stay updated with the latest trends and prepare well for the exam.

Since I have no information on IIT Guwahati, I recommend you contact a senior and discuss basic details.
What's the difference between a BE in AI and a BE in CSE from IIT Hyderabad?
B.Tech in AI(Artificial Intelligence)
This course is somewhat similar to CSE except that you’ll be mainly studying courses on machine learning and AI. Students of this program have to be proficient in Maths, ML, DL, etc. These courses are compulsory and you will be assigned projects on the same topics.
B.Tech in CSE
Under this program, you will be studying CSE subjects like databases, operating systems, networks, computer architecture, etc. IIT Hyderabad’s fractal system will let you take AI subjects and work on areas of ML and AI as well. So you are free to choose your research area.
Ultimately, you should determine what interests you and then only decide what to take. It’s better to research everything before making the final decision.
Which one to choose CS at IIT Hyderabad or IIT Guwhati?
To make the best choice, I have entailed the pros and cons of both the institutes
