How is the ranking for new IITs for Mtech CSE, IIT Patna, IIT Gandhinagar, IIT Hyderabad, IIT Ropar, IIT Bhubaneswar, Indore, Jodhpur, and Mandi (in terms of placement, coding and academic workload)
Based on placements, coding culture, and academic environment here is how I will rank the second-generation IITs
- IIT Hyderabad takes the first place because of its location in the IT hub of India. The preferable location attracts many reputed firms like Goldman Sachs, NVIDIA, JP Morgan, INTEL, Qualcomm, and Microsoft.
- IIT Gandhinagar comes second again because of its location and the type of recruiters it attracts. It might not have companies like Qualcomm, INTEL, or JP Morgan Chase but other big shots like Nutanix, Microsoft, GS visit the campus frequently. Even IIT Indore and IIT Bhubaneswar are ranked second as they are similar.
- Both IIT Jodhpur and IIT Ropar are equal in rankings and are placed 3rd in this list because of their location. These colleges provide excellent opportunities for CS students who are at par with IITs like Hyderabad, Gandhinagar, Jodhpur, Indore, and Bhubaneswar.
- I would rank IIT Mandi the last because of its poor location. The college has zero connectivity and no big companies care to visit for placements. IIT Mandi is a good option for those who want to study in a peaceful environment away from the hustle and bustle of city life.
Overall, most IITs are similar, and thus distance from home should be the major criterion to be considered.
What is the quality of accommodation and mess food at IIT Hyderabad?
No matter what delicacies you are offered in the hostel mess, nothing can be compared to home-cooked meals. So, it's better to lower your standards when it comes to mess food served at IIT Hyderabad. If you find the mess food unsatisfactory you can always go to canteens and get yourself your favorite food. You will be glad to know that food is sold at subsidized prices at these canteens.
IIT Hyderabad has decent accommodation facilities and all permanent students are made to stay on the permanent campus while interns and other temporary students will have to stay on the temporary campus (Ordnance Factory) The commute between the accommodation and the main campus might be tiring given the weather conditions and the huge distance.
How is the placement scenario in IIT Hyderabad for an M.Tech in the CSP branch?
IIT Hyderabad is one of the fastest-growing new IITs that has almost reached the level of older IITs in no time. Its location of being in one of the biggest industrial cities of India plays a big role in its fast-paced development. My sister was a student of the CSP branch (MTech RA) and enlightened me about the placement scenario there. However, she passed out in 2016 so the placement stats are for that year only.
The CSP department of IIT Hyderabad has extremely learned and experienced faculty with a decent placement scenario even better than VLSI.
- In 2015-16, CSP recorded 80% placement with an average salary above INR 10 LPA.
- In the 2016–17 placement session, CSP boasted of 100% placement with the average CTC standing at INR 12 LPA. Some students even received more than one offer.
Considering the improved trend, the placement scenario of CSP at IIT Hyderabad is currently expected to be even better.

Which is better, IIT Hyderabad mechanical or NIT Trichy CS?
Whether IIT Hyderabad Mechanical or NIT Tricy CS is ‘better’ depends on multiple factors such as your inclinations and career prospects. In short, if you are passionate about Mechanical Engineering then IIT Hyderabad is the best option. The placement opportunities will be average but the scope of higher studies ad research is great here. On the other hand, if you are inclined towards CS, NIT Trichy is the destination for you.
Apart from the branch, there are various other factors like the kind of campus life you want and your interest in getting placed. If you are looking for a glamorous campus life, NIT Trichy will serve you better. NIT Trichy is known for its rich extracurricular culture and has a lot of well-established student clubs. It also has excellent infrastructure and a huge campus with enough space for all of them. Those interested in programming, robotics, etc can pursue their passion as there are many clubs for the same. Here. your branch rarely matters as you will be involved in similar activities as everyone.
There are some students who are driven by the monetary return they will be getting and getting placed is their ultimate goal. In that case, it is important to know that placements in mechanical will not be on par with CSE. NIT Trichy placements are excellent and there are almost 100% placements. So placements wise too, NIT Trichy is better than IIT Hyderabad.
Location-wise, IIT Hyderabad has a slight advantage over NIT Trichy. So both colleges have their own strengths and weaknesses and your personal preference should be the ultimate driving factor.
In terms of both campus life and placements, I will rank NITT > IIT H irrespective of all other factors.
Should I go for IIT Hyderabad chemical engineering or RGIPT petroleum in terms of placements?
I find it very illogical when people try to compare and evaluate an institute's worth solely on the basis of placements. There are many other crucial factors that affect your career prospects some of which have been discussed below
- Infrastructure: The campus and infrastructure of IIT Hyderabad are much better than RGIPT, except that RGIPT has better accommodation facilities than IIT Hyderabad.
- Faculty: Both colleges have equally qualified and experienced faculty pools
- Alumni network: Undoubtedly, IIT Hyderabad fares better in this aspect than RGIPT
- Extracurricular activities: IIT Hyderabad again is a winner here
- Peer group: IIT Hyderabad has better and bigger peer groups. RGIPT has smaller peer groups and thus faces a slight disadvantage in this aspect.
- Fees structure: RGIPT does not have a fee waiver policy for General and OBC candidates while in IIT you can be eligible for a fee waiver.
- Placement: Placements-wise, RGIPT Petroleum gives an edge to IIT Hyderabad. This is because Petroleum engineers are highly paid globally. The majority of the placements are in core sector jobs, and thus have better job opportunities than a chemical engineer. Chemical Engineers rarely get placed in core sectors and end up with non-core jobs. Basically, IIT Hyderabad has better noncore opportunities while RGIPT has better core job opportunities.
Overall, IIT Hyderabad is better than RGIPT in many other aspects and is preferable to RGIPT any day.
What is the average package at IIT Hyderabad for engineering science?
The average package for Engineering Science at IIT Hyderabad cannot be determined as it has been recently launched. The branch is an excellent choice for those who are unaware of their area of interest and inclinations.
The curriculum is well-structured and industry relevant. In the first and second semesters, you will be taught common courses from all the branches. In the 3rd semester, you will be required to complete projects from all branches. Lastly, you will be required to opt for a branch of your interest that you will be studying in the 4th year.
The placements of the branch you have chosen and the actual branch will be the same. For instance, if you opted for CS, you will be eligible to sit with students of the CS branch for placements.
The degree awarded will be BTech in Engineering Science and your chosen branch.
