We interact with more than 100 people daily so you cannot expect everyone to be aware of IIIT Hyderabad and IIIT Allahabad. Moreover, you should stop valuing people's opinions on these aspects of life. You alone are responsible for your life and career.
Everyone has their own opinions. In today's age of blind competition and instant gratification, people resort to such things as it gratifies them instantly.
So, it’s better to stay away from such discussions.
Here are some highlights pertaining to the quality of education at IIIT Hyderabad

Overall, the interview is easy and also gives you an idea to choose between MS and MTech.
It’s highly illogical to compare IIIT Hyderabad with IIIT Bangalore. The former belongs to a different league altogether in terms of faculty, course structure, coding culture, and opportunities. The students are very ambitious and IIIT Hyderabad is a college that has students who have managed to reach the top 20 in the world finals of ACM ICPC which is considered to be the Olympics of coding. The exposure offered is unparalleled and it’s second only to that offered in IIT or BITS.
However, admission to IIIT Hyderabad is done on the basis of the JEE score which is pretty low compared to the cutoffs for that college. In that case, you will have IIIT Bangalore as the only better option. Another decent option is DA-IICT.
So, if you have the option, go for IIIT Hyderabad without any doubts.

Let’s do a comprehensive comparison of IIT Hyderabad, IIIT Hyderabad, and NIT Warangal (as my knowledge is limited to these 3 only)
IIT Hyderabad
NIT Warangal
IIIT Hyderabad: It’s considered a good option for computer science students.
BITS Hyderabad: It is also a decent institute with students enjoying good opportunities and freedom.
CBIT: It is one of the best private institutes in AP and Telangana. However, it cannot be compared to NIT Warangal or others, as the exposure and opportunities of NIT are way better.
In my opinion, the ultimate preference order should be,
IIT Hyderabad> IIIT H>=BITs H>= NIT W>CBIT
IIIT Hyderabad ECE will be a better option. It offers better facilities and opportunities compared to MNNIT Allahabad.
Due to the locational advantage and the exposure, IIIT Hyderabad ECE will be a better option.
There is no such proof that the standard at IIT Hyderabad is going down. However, there is proof of their consistency, you can check the round one cut-off of each year below:
Program |
2020 JEE Main Cut off |
2019 JEE Main Cut off |
2018 Cut off |
2017 Cut off |
Computer Science & Engineering |
577 |
573 |
287 |
285 |
Electronics and Communication Engineering |
1197 |
941 |
270 |
270 |
You can clearly see that the cutoffs are almost the same from 2017 till now which shows you that IIIT-Hyderabad has maintained its standards since then.
Also, you might need to know the reasons for the high cutoff to date: No reservation policy, 12th boards marks aren’t required for admission (but a minimum of 60% in PCM is required), The reputation they have built over the years with the placements, academic and research work, Never compromise the quality with the quantity and High emphasis on coding culture and their reputation in that.
The ‘better’ institute of the two; IIT Roorkee and IIIT Hyderabad is very subjective and depends on individual goals and preferences. However, you can draw a general comparison between the two based on some common factors like

IIIT Hyderabad |
IIT Roorkee |

I hope the above points suffice to claim IIIT Hyderabad is a better option than IIT Roorkee. It’s high time we stop running after IIT tags and look for the genuine worth of an Institute.
Rather than giving you a direct answer, I am going to evaluate all The aforementioned institutes individually on the basis of some common parameters like placements, brand name, campus life, opportunities, and alumni.

Ultimately, it’s a matter of preferences and what you are looking for in your degree.
