Additionally, minors are also offered, in most of the engineering departments, along with a minor in entrepreneurship.
- Branch change: You can also change your branch easily from this department and many students every year go for it.
Thus, IIT Hyderabad Metallurgy is a decent choice and can be considered by engineering aspirants.

How will the written test and interview for a Ph.D. in electrical engineering be in IIT Hyderabad?
My friend had the opportunity to appear for the written test and interview at IIT Hyderabad for Ph.D. this year in July for the Communication and Signal Processing Electrical Engineering department. There were 2 tests conducted out of which the first comprised 6 questions. 5 questions were based on probability and random processes while the other one was on signal and systems. The test lasted for 2 hours. The questions asked in this fest were quite difficult and tested functions of one and two random variables.
For the second test, a transfer junction was provided and 9 questions were asked related to it. The entire test lasted for an hour. The questions in the test were comparatively easier than those of the first. The only challenge was to complete the lengthy questions in a short duration of 1 hour.
Out of the 60 applicants that appeared with my friend, only 8 were shortlisted for the interview.
Overall, the professors were very supportive and helped students wherever necessary. The duration of the interview is around 20 minutes.
Which college is better- NIT Warangal, IIT Hyderabad, IIIT Hyderabad, CBIT or BITS Hyderabad?
Let’s do a comprehensive comparison of IIT Hyderabad, IIIT Hyderabad, and NIT Warangal (as my knowledge is limited to these 3 only)
IIT Hyderabad
- It has a great learning environment and students are very focused on academics and research. The fractal system is a cherry on top.
- The faculty is dedicated and very young, some of them aged less than 40.
- The system of fractal academics imparts a diverse learning experience as students are allowed to choose a course of their choice taught by their favorite professor. You can take courses in liberal arts like painting, learning foreign languages, pottery, etc.
- The course structure is flexible and one can do a minor or even a second major in other departments.
- Being close to the metropolitan city, Hyderabad, IIT Hyderabad attracts the best recruiters and faculty.
NIT Warangal
- It’s one of the first RECs established and is a highly esteemed institute with experienced faculty and notable alumni.
- Many professors lack a systematic course plan and are unable to complete the course in time. Some of them aren’t approachable and students are unable to get their queries solved.
- A lot of on-campus politics goes on at NIT Warangal.
- You get the opportunity to join NCC as well. There is a big outdoor stadium, gym and facilities for sports.
- The student body committee is very powerful and you can even protest openly against the director.
IIIT Hyderabad: It’s considered a good option for computer science students.
BITS Hyderabad: It is also a decent institute with students enjoying good opportunities and freedom.
CBIT: It is one of the best private institutes in AP and Telangana. However, it cannot be compared to NIT Warangal or others, as the exposure and opportunities of NIT are way better.
In my opinion, the ultimate preference order should be,
IIT Hyderabad> IIIT H>=BITs H>= NIT W>CBIT
Should I prefer civil engineering in IIT Hyderabad or CSE in RVCE?
My suggestion would be to opt for IIT Hyderabad Civil Engineering and prepare for a branch change.
IITs cannot be compared to any private college other than BITS. Even if you are unable to change your branch, don’t feel disheartened as the IIT Brand name is more than enough.
I know many people who were part of the Chemical, Biotech, and Civil Engineering branches of IIT and are earning more than 12 LPA currently. Irrespective of the branch you belong to, IITs offer an excellent coding culture making you proficient in the same. The quality of peer groups you will be interacting with is also better at IITs than at private colleges like RVCE.
All in all, IIT as a brand is better than RVCE and other private colleges except BITS.
How are the placements and faculty in M.Tech EE in IIT Hyderabad?
IIT Hyderabad is one of the best new IITs and is growing by leaps and bounds. With its fast-paced development, it’s expected to reach the level of old IITs. IIT Guwahati, although it is older than IIT Hyderabad but became an IIT much later than IIT Hyderabad. The reasons for its increasing demand among top recruiters
- Major capital or investments are done hence it is a hub of companies.
- IIT Hyderabad has collaborations with the Japanese University, University of Tokyo and that’s exactly why it’s the best new IIT.
- The major highlight is the Internship opportunity of going to Japan for a year or two in research
