IIT Hyderabad has 2 major academic differences that set it apart from other IITs. These are
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.
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.
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:
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.
The Engineering Science branch at IIT Hyderabad is well-regarded in the field of engineering education. Based on recent rankings, it is one of the top engineering institutes in India. Graduates from the program are currently pursuing successful careers in a variety of industries.
Overall, the Engineering Science branch at IIT Hyderabad is a strong choice for those interested in studying engineering.
It’s illogical to compare two programs as the choice of branches depends on individual preferences. I will share the limited knowledge I possess for IIT Hyderabad CSE.
Since I have no information on IIT Guwahati, I recommend you contact a senior and discuss basic details.
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.
To make the best choice, I have entailed the pros and cons of both the institutes
IIT Guwahati Pros
IIT Guwahati Cons
IIT Hyderabad Pros
IIT Hyderabad Cons:
IIT Guwahati should never be your first choice and IIT Hyderabad is a much better option.
My brother had taken MSc in Physics because he was left with no other option but later realized it was the best decision of his life.
Ultimately, the final decision is yours to make. It’s good to refer to the website for more details regarding the program before making the final decision.
Yes, it’s possible to pursue a Ph.D. from a foreign university after an MTech from IIT Guwahati or IIT Hyderabad. However, you have to choose your MTech guide very carefully as the recommendations of professors are very necessary for Ph.D. from a foreign university. Many professors have excellent connections in universities abroad and these recommendations are highly useful to make your career smooth.
In order to determine which professors have such backgrounds and connections, contact the students who have already done their MTech under them.
