Which is a better option, EEE at IIT Dharwad, EC at BITS Pilani Hyderabad campus, EnI at BITS Pilani campus or ISE at RVCE?
IIT Dharwad is a recently established institute that attracts fewer companies and has a small alumni pool. On the other hand, BITS Pilani has graduated more than 50 batches.
The best option would be to take ECE in BITS Hyderabad or ENI in BITS Pilani. The reason I am against you joining a new IIT is that these IITs are not well-known among big companies and some recruiters don’t even consider them worthy of visiting. They know that these IITs can never be at par with the old ones. So it’s better to look beyond the IIT tag and go for BITS Pilani, an excellent choice indeed!
Which college should I choose, IIIT Guwahati (CSE stream) or BITS Hyderabad (electronics and electrical stream)?
Among BITS Hyderabad and IIIT Guwahati, EEE at BITS Hyderabad is the better option, considering the excellent placement scenario of the institute. Here are some of the advantages of joining BITS Hyderabad
- The environment inside the campus of BITS Hyderabad is very good.
- Placement in BITS Hyderabad is much better than IIIT Guwahati. Being in Hyderabad, the institute has a lot of location advantages which further aids in placement. Sometimes, the placements in BITS Hyderabad are even compared to that of IITs.
Here is a brief overview of the recent placement statistics at both institutes.

- The fee of BITS Hyderabad is higher than that of IIIT Guwahati, which is a point students need to consider before applying for the institute.
- IIIT Guwahati is a much newer institute and is in its growing phase at present. So, there is no guarantee of placement in the institute.
Although the placement of a student mostly depends on the student’s potential and hard work, the institute definitely plays a role in it. And, considering the above points, electrical and electronics engineering at BITS Hyderabad is definitely a better choice.
Which is a better place to study economics, Presidency University, Kolkata or BITS, Goa (or Hyderabad)?
Presidency University, Kolkata is a better to place to study economics than BITS, Goa, or Hyderabad. Presidency University, Kolkata is well known for its economics department. It also has an excellent subject record.
In the national ranking too Presidency University comes at the top. One of my cousins studies at Presidency University, Kolkata. And he vouches for the Economics degree provided by the institute.
Taking into consideration various factors like fees, faculty, it is safe to say Pracidency University is the better alternative.
But if you are looking for placement after graduation, then joining Presdancyi will not be a good idea. Although their Economics dept. Is well-renowned, they don’t offer placements after graduation. You will have better placement opportunities at BITS Goa.
Which is better, IIT Bhubaneswar for ECE, BITS Pilani Hyderabad campus for CSE or NIT Surthkal for ECE?
BITS is the better choice among all as CSE has more scope than ECE. And NIT Surathkal is an old institute with a better placement record than IIT Bhubaneswar.
Since BITS Hyderabad is the newest among all other campuses and it certainly is a little behind in terms of faculty, infrastructure, etc. But when compared on a national level it is on par with any other institute. It provides the students with a prime location to look for internships and also provides an edge to them if they are opting for off-campus placements. Although the institute provides students with decent opportunities for on-campus placements also. Around 200 companies visit the campus each year and around 94% of the student secured a job through campus placements with an average package of around 5-6 lakhs per annum and the highest package offered was as high as 14 lakhs per annum.
NIT Surathkal is among the top NITs of this country. The placements of students of this branch are also good although NIT Trichy and Warangal have better placement records. The average placement package offered at this NIT is around 14.15 LPA and 100% placement was observed for B.Tech batches in last year’s placement drive.
ECE is one of the new branches that started at IIT Bhubaneswar starting from 2016. Hence the first batch of students will graduate in 2020. In 2019, the average CTC offered in this IIT was 11.44 LPA. Many core companies, software companies, PSU’s, etc. hire electrical engineers from IIT Bhubaneswar hence one can assume the same trend to be followed for electronics and communication engineering also but the result is yet to be seen.

Should I choose IIT Tirupati mechanical or BITS Hyderabad ECE/EEE? At present, I am getting EEE at BITS, Hyderabad but hoping to get ECE in further literations according to previous cutoff scores.
In the present scenario, EEE is a better choice as compared to Mechanical. Moreover, BITS Hyderabad is better than IIT Tirupati in various aspects.
The average package for B.Tech Mechanical at IIT Tirupati is 12.30 LPA (for 2023 placements, as of now). The average package for B.Tech EEE at BITS Hyderabad goes higher than that. Moreover, some companies may offer less packages to IIT Tirupati graduates in comparison to BITS graduates, for the same role.
BITS Hyderabad has a better campus in comparison to IIT Tirupati. The college culture and life is richer at BITS Hyderabad, and even its coding culture is better. You can check the worldwide GSoC college-wise selections. Hyderabad city has ample career opportunities, much more than Tirupati. The startup and entrepreneurial culture of BITS Hyderabad is top notch.
The students of BITS Hyderabad and Goa get the BITS Pilani tag on their degrees, without any mention of their actual campuses. On the other hand, the ‘IIT tag’ holds significance only for the students of the 7 old IITs. BITS campuses follow 0% attendance requirement policy and MIT pedagogy, while IIT Tirupati follows a strict attendance criteria and IITR pedagogy).
Based on these factors, and many others, I would suggest you to opt for BITS Hyderabad ECE/EEE over a core branch in any of the 2nd or 3rd gen IITs.
Is it better to take EE at IIT Bhubaneswar or CS at BITS Hyderabad?
IIT Bhubaneswar ranks 17th in the Engineering category by NIRF 2019 and BITS Hyderabad ranks 39th in the same category by NIRF 2019.
IIT Bhubaneswar has a dedicated placement cell, a total of 120 students were placed with the CSE department observing placement percentage of 100%. The undergraduate placement recorded 90% offers. The Electrical Engineering department has seen 86% placement in the year 2019. With an average salary package of 11 lakhs per annum for big companies like TATA Steel, TATA Advance System, Thermax, INTEL technology, etc.
BITS Hyderabad has a placement cell to groom students for interviews, etc. The CS department has been offered 16 lakhs per annum by companies like Microsoft, Adobe, etc.
You can opt for CS in BITS Hyderabad than opting for EE at IIT Hyderabad because computer science in BITS Hyderabad will open many scopes and are offered with a better salary package than Electrical Engineering from IIT Bhubaneswar.
