What is better, CSE from IIT Patna or IIT Hyderabad?
While the CS branch of both IIT Patna and IIT Hyderabad has excellent academic environments and placements, it’s the fractal system of IIT Hyderabad that steals the show. Under this, students are free to choose electives from a pool of subjects. These can even be core subjects of the department or can be also from other departments. This system helps the students pursue other branches along with CS which keeps all options open for them. Most IIT Hyderabad students are satisfied with this system.
IIT Patna lacks such a system and thus has a slight disadvantage in this aspect. No doubt, IIT Patna fairs better in terms of infrastructure, but academically, IIT Hyderabad is the clear winner.
Which college should I prefer, CSE in IIT Hyderabad, CSE in BITS Goa, EEE in BITS Pilani?
In my opinion, CSE in IIT Hyderabad is the best option amongst the aforementioned institutes. EEE in BITS Pilani is not a good option unless you are interested in core Electronics. This is because the future is CS-oriented and everyone is out there trying to secure lucrative job opportunities in the same. I wouldn’t suggest you target a branch change from EEE to CS in Pilani as for that you will require a very high CGPA as high as 9.7 which is very very tough to get.
Speaking of BITS Goa, it is known for its amazing new coding culture and no compulsory attendance policy. However, nothing can match the brand value of IIT.
IIT Hyderabad focuses primarily on AI and ML which is very beneficial for your future.
Thus it can be concluded that IIT Hyderabad is a better option for you.
I have been studying for an MSc in chemistry from IIT Hyderabad, but my 12 marks are just 61.5%. Will I qualify for a PhD abroad?
For a PhD, class 12th marks are given considerably less importance given that your graduation and post-graduation grades are great.
For a Ph.D. abroad, since you will be seeking direct admission into the university and not approaching a specific professor, your past academics matter a lot. Having good class 12 marks, graduation, and post-graduation marks will improve your chances of admission and it’s always better to play safe.
In case of average marks, you have the option to write to a professor in Europe who is working in a field that aligns with your research project topic. If you share a common ground with any professor you can get admission by skipping the entire formal admission procedure although you might have to appear for some interviews that will evaluate your research caliber.
Overall, my recommendation is to apply everywhere as long as money is not involved. In cases you are required to send documents or GRE scores you need to be careful.

How is the life of an MSc student in IIT Hyderabad?
The campus life at IIT Hyderabad is very laid back and convenient. In the first year, you just need to travel about 25 mins every day by bus at around 8:20 am to attend the classes and once the classes are over, you have to again travel the same distance back to your room. Sometimes, students get shifted to a new room in the first month.
IIT Hyderabad has two campuses, one is at Kandi, where the academic block is situated while the other campus is at ODF Medak where the first-year students live. Students are shifted to the new campus after a year.
However, if you fail to get your MSc project lab in the new campus then your last year of MSc has to be spent in the old campus again. Overall, the life of an MSc student at IT Hyderabad is unpredictable.
Which is better for computer engineering, IIT Hyderabad or BITS Hyderabad?
It’s highly illogical to measure IIT Hyderabad, the fastest-growing new IIT with a private institute BITS.
- Only top rankers with JEE Advanced ranks in the range of 500–5500 get into IIT Hyderabad while those who don’t get through JEE Advanced or have ranks of 8000+ easily get good seats in BITS Hyderabad.
- BITS Hyderabad is BITS Pilani Hyderabad Campus, not BITS Pilani.
- The average package of IIT Hyderabad is almost par with that of IIT Delhi and Bombay, while the average package of BITS Hyderabad is much lower.
- IIT Hyderabad has a Fractal Academic System, under which there is regular testing and grading throughout the year. Also, you can fill your academic palette with the courses of your choice.
- The courses are industry relevant and updated, unlike older IITs.
- Owing to the Japan Collaboration, IIT Hyderabad students regularly get internship offers, job offers, and higher study and research opportunities in Japan.
- IIT Hyderabad frequently collaborates with IIIT Hyderabad for Hackathons, Coding Competitions, and other stuff.
- IIT Hyderabad is still in its development phase and BITS has a much better campus than IIT Hyderabad.
I feel IIT Hyderabad is the better option for CS in comparison to BITS Hyderabad.
How do you compare M.Tech from CSE between IIT Hyderabad and IIT Guwahati in all terms?
Here is a comparison of IIT Hyderabad CSE and IIT Guwahati based on some common parameters.
- Campus: IIT Guwahati has a much better campus than IIT Hyderabad as the latter is still in its construction phase.
- NIRF Ranking: IIT Hyderabad Overall ranking by NIRF is 14 out of 200 colleges in India in 2022 while IIT Guwahati Overall ranking by NIRF is 8 out of 200 colleges in India in 2022.
- Faculty: The CSE department of IIT Guwahati has a higher number of faculty members than IIT Hyderabad. Faculty members at IIT Hyderabad are young and dynamic, always ready to explore new ideas. They also frequently change the pedagogy style to break the monotony and keep up with the recent trends. IIT Guwahati is quite lacking in this aspect.
- Locational advantage: Being located in close proximity to the IT hub, IIT Hyderabad offers a huge locational advantage thus increasing exposure through invited talks and collaborations with industry experts in IIT Hyderabad.
- Research: As far as the research is concerned, IIT Hyderabad clearly is the winner here. The CSE department of IIT Hyderabad has many better-ranked papers in comparison to the CSE department of IIT Guwahati.
- Computing facilities: IIT Hyderabad's computing facilities are great.
Sparing the campus issue, CSE from IIT Hyderabad seems to be a better option than CSE from IIT Guwahati.
Which is better: CSE IIT Hyderabad or CSE NIT Warangal?
NIT Warangal, was amongst the first 10 NITs to be established, ranks 19th for engineering by NIRF while IIT Hyderabad is ranked 17rd by NIRF. Both these institutes are centres of excellence in academics and have cut-throat competition.

Placement
NIT Warangal
- The average placement rate of the institute was recorded to be 94%
- Highest CTC offered was 39 lpa
- Average CTC offered was in the range 10-12 LPA
- Major recruiters are Amazon, Flipkart, ISRO, Oracle, etc.
IIT Hyderabad-
- The overall placement rate of the institute was 95%
- Major recruiters were Bank Of America, DRDO, Flipkart, HSBC, among 20 others
- Highest CTC of 42 lpa
- Average CTC of 16 LPA
It is very tough to distinguish between these colleges as these are premier institutes of the nation. Infrastructurally they are almost at par with all facilities available. Faculties are highly qualified, few being involved in many government funded research projects. Hence, it is up to the student to choose a given course in a particular college.
How is an MTech in power electronics and power systems at IIT Hyderabad?
Among the newly established IITs, IIT Hyderabad has been growing exponentially and has been ranked 9th by NIRF, one of the highest-ranking bodies.
My friend was a part of the BTech in Power Electronics and Power Systems program and he enlightened me about the academic environment there. According to him, IIT Hyderabad is a great place for research enthusiasts
- Teachers here are very learned, supportive and interactive
- Syllabus is updated and is at par with recent industry trends
- The placement scenario is decent
This place is great for research-oriented students as it has a rich research culture.
What should I choose, CSE at IIT Hyderabad, BHU, mechanical at IIT Kharagpur or electrical at IIT Roorkee?
Irrespective of the IIT you choose, CS placements are excellent everywhere with very lucrative packages offered to its top rankers. A good student can pay a package as high as INR 30-40 LPA in CS whereas the same students will only end up with a package of INR 10–15 LPA.
While many may comment that placements should not be the only determining factor, I am here to contradict that opinion. CS is a branch that is dynamic and any engineering aspirants will be attracted to it naturally while other branches are a bit rigid and require specific attention.
As far as CSE at IIT BHU is concerned, it’s at par with most older IITs. The majority of the batch is pre-placed or placed on the first day itself. A few top recruiters include Goldman Sachs, Oracle, Microsoft, etc.
