Yes, IIT Hyderabad has a swimming pool. The pool is located on the campus and is open to students, faculty, and staff. It is also used for training and competitions by the college's swimming team.
Based on placements, coding culture, and academic environment here is how I will rank the second-generation IITs
Overall, most IITs are similar, and thus distance from home should be the major criterion to be considered.
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.
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.
Considering the improved trend, the placement scenario of CSP at IIT Hyderabad is currently expected to be even better.

Since you are considering quitting your current job, I assume you are not very satisfied with it and want to explore more job opportunities with an MTech from IIT Hyderabad in mind. You either are looking for a better profile or a better package. Either way, you will get excellent opportunities after doing an MTech in CS from IIT Hyderabad.
Let’s consider both, staying at the current job and going to IIT Hyderabad for Masters. In the first case, you need to take into consideration the national CTC that you will have after two years at your current workplace. Even with an average 15%-30% hike, your CTC will be 9-12 LPA.
If you go for a Master's (CS) from IIT Hyderabad instead, you will have a plethora of companies visiting the campus for placements. The perks of joining MTech from IIT Hyderabad are
All in all, joining MTech CS from IIT Hyderabad offers excellent opportunities both in terms of research and placements. So it’s better to leave your job and go for a Master's from IIT Hyderabad.
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.
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
Overall, IIT Hyderabad is better than RGIPT in many other aspects and is preferable to RGIPT any day.
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.
My knowledge is limited to IIT Hyderabad Civil Engineering as my brother hails from the same
Considering the fast-paced growth of IIT Hyderabad Civil in the initial stages itself, I will recommend you join it over IIT BHU.
