Coding Culture
- IIIT Allahabad has a coding culture that is renowned and is best in class.
- BITS Hyderabad’s coding culture is good but lacks in some aspects as compared to IIITA.
So, if you have the option to choose between CSE at BITS Hyderabad and IT at IIIT Allahabad, go with IIITA as it is better than BITS in almost all aspects.
Is the Manipal Institute of Technology as good as BITS Hyderabad or Goa?
No, except the Mechanical Engineering branch of MIT Manipal, it cannot be compared to one of the best private engineering colleges, BITS.
MIT Manipal may have better infrastructure than BITS Goa and Hyderabad but fails to give an edge in other aspects such as placements, coding culture, campus life, club culture, and brand name.
- MIT Manipal has great placements for CS branches but below average for other branches.
- BITS also has a better environment for extracurricular activities and social development clubs. The campus life at Manipal is at par with BITS Goa.
- Location is another factor Manipal gives an edge to BITS. It’s a university town and you get to interact with students from 25 different colleges.
- The coding culture in all the BITS is unmatched and the faculty pool is also better.
- The quality of students at BITS is better because its entrance exam BITSAT is more difficult than MU OET, the Manipal entrance exam. This ensures a more filtered crowd.
So it can be safely concluded that Manipal is improving, but it is yet to reach the level of BITS.
How did BITS Goa and Hyderabad develop so quickly?
Naturally, BITS Goa and Hyderabad weren’t planned randomly. There are years of strategic planning behind the establishment of these campuses.
I learned from one of the faculties of BITS Pilani that the late Mr. K. K Birla wanted to expand BITS campuses way back in 1990s and assigned the task to the administration to find a suitable location for the second campus. During the tech boom of the 90s, IT companies were setting up shops everywhere in cities like Bangalore, Mumbai. They strategically choose Goa as it is between these two locations and well-connected because of its airport. The location also helped them attract faculties from IIT Bombay and IISc Bangalore. Mr. Monahar Parrikar, then CM approved the project quickly, and that’s how it was possible to set up the Goa campus so quickly.
The Hyderabad campus also has a similar story. Mr. Chandra Babu Naidu, the CM of united Andra Pradesh back then, requested BITS to set up a campus in Hyderabad. He provided land for the campus and construction work was quick to follow. When the first batch joined in 20008, the infrastructure was already done.
Should I go for nit Calicut eee or bits hyderabad ece??please provide details on both(median package and opportunities and scope)
Between NIT Calicut and BITS Hyderabad, the latter is the better option irrespective of the branch you are getting. Here are a few points of difference between the two institutes.
- BITS Hyderabad EEE placements are great and students get placed in core electronics companies such as NVIDIA, National Instruments, Texas Instruments, MediaTek, etc while NIT Calicut has very few core companies and students are usually placed in IT companies.
- BITS Hyderabad charges very high fees whereas NIT Calicut charges average fees.
- BITS Hyderabad offers a better exposure and research culture in comparison to NIT Calicut.
- BITS Hyderabad has an excellent faculty pool and the labs are equipped with modern instruments much better than NIT Calicut.
In my opinion, BITS Hyderabad should be your preference provided that you have no monetary issues.
Shall I take the IIT, Tirupati CSE or the BITS Hyderabad CSE?
BITS Hyderabad, which is affiliated under BITS Pilani, ranked 30th by NIRF amongst top engineering colleges in India, is very well renowned for computer science. While IIT Tirupati was recently established and hasn’t been ranked yet by NIRF.

Campus
- IIT Tirupati- The permanent campus, proposed to be spread across 530 acres, is under construction as of now and students have to stay in a transit campus.
- BITS- It is spread over a lush 200 acre space. 3 Huge Fests are organised every year which see a footfall of around 3,000. Various events and competitions are also organised round the year which help in holistic development.
Placement
BITS Hyderabad
It has an average placement rate of 94% for computer science. Top recruiters are Aditya Birla Group, Microsoft, Adobe, BeeHyv, Amazon, etc. Other notable features are:
- Average CTC offered is 11 LPA
- Highest CTC offered is 40 LPA
- Around 25% students receive PPOs from companies like Google, Dell, Spikewell, Microsoft in the pre-final year
IIT Tirupati
It is relatively new, hence much detailed placement data is not yet available. Major recruiters are Envestnet Yodlee, Bosch, TCS, Honeywell, etc.
- The average package was 9.6 LPA
- Highest CTC offered was 25 LPA
Both BITS and IITs have a brand value but Tirupati being a new institute, is yet to make its mark. Faculties at both the colleges are highly qualified. Computer science is the most sought-after skill in the present industry and hence if one works hard, he/she can excel.
Which is better, NIT Warangal (ECE) or BITS Hyderabad (CSE) in a placement perspective?
NIT Warangal and BITS Hyderabad are renowned institutes in India. But BITS Hyderabad is leading due to some reasons, which are listed below
Internship – BITS Hyderabad provides a six months internship program right after the degree program. This experience is beneficial for getting a full-time job
Dual Placement – The core companies visit the college twice a year so the students can sit for the interview two times
Early Graduation – The degree program can be completed six months early, or you can take a break for six months and complete the degree on time.
Coding Culture – BITS Hyderabad has a highly competitive culture in ICPC. The trend toward open-source development increased GSOC selections.
Peer Group – This institute does not have reservations, so you will have a healthy peer group
Minor Degrees – You can also pursue other minor degree courses like data science, finance, robotics, etc., which adds an edge to your inclinations.
Overall, BITS Hyderabad is a better choice than NIT Warangal.
How much marks should I score in the BITS-HD exam (M.E. in Civil Engineering) to get an admission to BITS Pilani or Hyderabad campus?

Should I prefer BITS-Goa or BITS-Hyderabad for an M.E. in computer science through the BITS HD exam?
For an M.E. in Computer Science, you should prefer BITS Hyderabad. The placements are slightly better for the Hyderabad campus. The city houses a lot of IT and Electronics companies, so it's easier to get good exposure and placements. The recent highlights of BITS Hyderabad placement show the median CTC to be INR 12 LPA. Each year almost 95% of students get placed from the branch.

Which will be better, IIT Patna for metallurgy and material sciences or BITS Hyderabad for an MSc in physics?
The Department of Metallurgy and Material Sciences was established in 2012; you won’t regret choosing this institute as you will have the advantage of the brand name IIT. Most companies prefer IIT students, and it is also beneficial if you are planning to attend competitive entrance exams like the CAT, GMAT, and so on.
IIT Patna Placements

| No. of PPOs | 72 |
| No. of Offers | 281 |
| Highest domestic package | INR 82.05 Lakh per annum |
| Average Salary | INR 29.30 Lakh per annum |
| Median Package | INR 20 Lakh per annum |
It is good for academics, placement support, and a rich alumni network. The opportunity for a master’s in Physics is comparatively higher than in metallurgy and material sciences, but you won’t get the brand tag of IIT here.
Placement at BITS Hyderabad| Particulars | Statistics 2023 |
| Companies visited | 109 |
| Highest package | INR 65.75 Lakh per annum |
| Average package | INR 30.37 Lakh per annum |
