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
IIT Guwahati Pros
- A very established and beautiful campus that is on power backup
IIT Guwahati Cons
- Less academic flexibility in choosing courses
- Locational disadvantage results in less exposure to expert lectures
- Major issues related to connectivity with high airfare
- Professors are very less motivated in delivering quality lectures due to lack of motivation.
IIT Hyderabad Pros
- Locational advantage results in better connectivity and excellent exposure to industry and experts
- More academic flexibility owing to the fractal academics
- Young and enthusiastic faculty members who have great experience and conduct top-notch research
IIT Hyderabad Cons:
- The permanent campus is still under construction.
- Relatively hot climate.
IIT Guwahati should never be your first choice and IIT Hyderabad is a much better option.
What should I choose between BITS Pilani EEE or IIT Guwahati engineering physics?
Both BITS Pilani and IT Guwahati are reputable institutions with strong engineering programs. It’s highly recommended that you go through the contents of the curriculum once before opting for any major. Most students skip this and regret it later as they are forced to study courses they least expected. Go through the books of these courses and determine if the matter intrigues you or not.
IIT Guwahati Engineering Physics program covers a wide spectrum of fields. Although the placement scenario is average, it definitely quenches your thirst for knowledge of Physics and also prepares you for higher studies.
Another good option for core physics is MSc at Kanpur or Kharagpur. Although EP will expose you to multiple options, you will require another degree. It’s better to analyze your interests deeply before making the final decision.
As far as the EEE at BITS Pilani is concerned, I am strongly against anyone joining BITS irrespective of the branch they choose. The curriculum is poorly structured and lacks flexibility. The placement scenario is deteriorating day by day. The exposure offered is null and thus BITS Pilani should be your last option when all doors are closed. You will end up wasting your time and money with no solid knowledge up your sleeve by the end of 4 years.
Ultimately, the decision of which program to choose depends on your personal preferences and career goals.

What are the placement statistics of biotechnology at IIT Guwahati?
My knowledge is limited to IIT Guwahati placements 2019-20 Biotechnology as my brother was a part of the same batch. Out of the total 48 students, 37 opted for placements, and 25 were placed. Earlier the placement percentage was 67.6% and now it has risen to 75%. Students got placed in Analytics, SDE, and Graduate Trainee profiles. Those who opted out of placements went for higher studies in core concepts.
I asked another friend about the placement scenario of Biotechnology at IIT Guwahati. She told me that it’s difficult to get employed after graduation. You can grab a good salary package after completing a master's. Internships were also offered in biotech companies or pharma companies. Students were eligible for placements after the 5th semester. A Few students were also selected by Deloitte.
Is there a possibility of doing a PhD abroad after an MTech from IIT Guwahati or IIT Hyderabad?
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.
What are the branch-change statistics at IIT Guwahati in the past few years?
The branch-change statistics vary for each department.
- CSE: The Cutoff for CSE is around 9.8. Around 8 students are allowed to transfer into CSE m, the total strength of which is 80.
- ECE/MnC: The cutoff for ECE is slightly lesser than CS around 9.2 to 9.4 and the same is the case with MnC
- EE: The cutoff for EEE is around 8.8 followed by Mechanical which is around 8.5.
Most importantly, you need to be in the top ten percentile of the class. Overall, CS is the hardest department to get transferred to.
Which has the better faculty in civil engineering, IIT Guwahati or IIT BHU?
IIT Guwahati has better faculty than IIT BHU in the civil engineering department. IIT BHU has poor faculty; the professors lack the ability to communicate the concepts clearly to the students, and they do not have sufficient knowledge of the core subject, especially in the civil engineering department. They have been trying to give better classes to the students in recent years. But if you get the choice to select any of these two institutions in civil engineering, you can surely opt for IIT Guwahati.
Which has the better faculty in civil engineering, IIT Guwahati or IIT BHU?
Honestly speaking, this internet-controlled era hardly requires good teachers as everything is available on the net. You can get in touch with internationally proclaimed professors with just a click. As far as IIT faculty is concerned, all IITs have similar degree holders that are quality knowledgeable.
A good teacher is the one that hones your talents to the fullest. They not only help you acquire knowledge but also shape your thinking style. Every institute has a few teachers that influence a student in a unique way. I am sure both IIT Guwahati and IIT BHU will have similar teachers.
Ultimately, what matters is the environment and the activities that these colleges will provide us to expand our intellect and maximize our talents. Pay little focus on the faculty and look for the right field to enter that will help you shape your career. Personally, I would suggest you go for IIT Guwahati as it has more open-minded and active people in that area which will give you considerable freedom to think and perform.
How is M.Tech in Rural Technology at IIT Guwahati?
Center for Rural Technology department offers MTech in Rural Technology program. This program is usually taught by professors of the Department of Design, Chemical, Mechanical, and Bio-Science. So whether you will like this program or not depends on your prior interests and background.
This program will keep you busy with excellent practical projects that will broaden your knowledge base and enhance your research exposure. Moreover, all the projects are sponsored and funded by external agents like DST. You can get a good research center with maximum effort. Placements might be better if you have a good project up your sleeve.
Usually, the Design department has excellent placements so you don’t have to worry much. The placement percentage for CRT in 2022 was 12.5%.
What is the placement record of chemical engineering department of IIT Guwahati?
The placement scenario of the Chemical Engineering department of IIT Guwahati is just average with only a handful of companies visiting the campus for placements. The packages offered too are not at par with other IITs.
My sister was a student at IIT Guwahati and she told me that many of her batchmates remained unplaced. Specifically talking about Mtech, core jobs are scarce and only your luck can help you.
I will recommend you entirely focus on preparing for PSU or GRE and target a Ph.D. from a foreign university. The professors at IIT Guwahati have good connections abroad and their reference and guidance will help you to choose the best universities, and publish good research journals. Ph.D. students have to do the job hunting themselves and not rely on placements.
Those who opt for non-core placements can avail the best opportunities with great packages even better than the core. All you need is a decent proficiency in coding and knowledge of a few programming languages.
