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.

Should I apply for IIIT Hyderabad or IIIT Bangalore?

DS
Divya Saraf Posted On : October 9th, 2023
Lives in Hyderabad

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.

Which college is better- NIT Warangal, IIT Hyderabad, IIIT Hyderabad, CBIT or BITS Hyderabad?

PV
Prarthi Vyas Posted On : May 16th, 2023
Studied at IIT Hyderabad

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

  • It has a great learning environment and students are very focused on academics and research. The fractal system is a cherry on top.
  • The faculty is dedicated and very young, some of them aged less than 40. 
  • The system of fractal academics imparts a diverse learning experience as students are allowed to choose a course of their choice taught by their favorite professor. You can take courses in liberal arts like painting, learning foreign languages, pottery, etc. 
  • The course structure is flexible and one can do a minor or even a second major in other departments.
  • Being close to the metropolitan city, Hyderabad, IIT Hyderabad attracts the best recruiters and faculty. 

NIT Warangal

  • It’s one of the first RECs established and is a highly esteemed institute with experienced faculty and notable alumni.
  • Many professors lack a systematic course plan and are unable to complete the course in time. Some of them aren’t approachable and students are unable to get their queries solved. 
  • A lot of on-campus politics goes on at NIT Warangal.
  • You get the opportunity to join NCC as well. There is a big outdoor stadium, gym and facilities for sports. 
  • The student body committee is very powerful and you can even protest openly against the director.

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

AG
Ashwani Gupta Posted On : March 21st, 2022
Electronics and Communication Engineer, NIT Allahabad

IIIT Hyderabad ECE will be a better option. It offers better facilities and opportunities compared to MNNIT Allahabad. 

  • The student intake for IIITH ECE is around 90, while the MNNIT Allahabad CS batch size is around 160-180. So, you will face less competition at IIITH.
  • IIIT Hyderabad CSE average package is INR 20 LPA, according to the recent placement highlights. 
  • Located in Hyderabad, it has a huge locational advantage. Hyderabad is an electronic city and it houses more than 1300 IT and ITES firms. These firms recruit more than 407,000 individuals each year. So, you will have great exposure. 

Due to the locational advantage and the exposure, IIIT Hyderabad ECE will be a better option.

Are standards at IIIT Hyderabad going down?

MF
Maliha Fatima Posted On : March 2nd, 2021
Studied at Jaypee Institute of Information Technology, Noida (2020)

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.

Which is better among CSE at IIT-Roorkee and IIIT-Hyderabad?

TA
Tithi Aggrawal Posted On : May 16th, 2023
Lives in New Delhi

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 

  • Academics: IIIT-H has better professors and academic environment in comparison to IIT Roorkee. The professors are more experienced and adopt better pedagogy.
  • Research: IIIT-H is known for its excellent research culture in the field of AI and vision. Some centers like Robotics Research Center (RRC) are ranked (by publications) among the top labs in Asia in their respective field. So research-wise, IIIT Hyderabad is the best.
  • Placements: The placement scenario at IIIT Hyderabad is almost at par with top engineering institutes of the country like IIT Bombay and IIT Delhi.

Particulars

IIIT Hyderabad 

IIT Roorkee

Number of Recruiters 

50+

265

Highest CTC 

INR 74 LPA

INR 2.15 CPA

Top Companies

Bloomberg, Code Nation, Deloitte, Facebook, Google, HSBC, Indeed 

Accenture Japan Ltd, Amazon, Bank of America, Microsoft

  • Alumni and Brand value: In contrast to the general misconception, IITs are not the only reputable engineering institutes and IIITs are fast catching up in the race. The alumni of IIIT Hyderabad and its branch value are almost at par with old IITs. 

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.

Which is better, IIT (BHU) Electronics, IIT Guwahati ECE, IIT Hyderabad Maths and Computing, or IIITH CSE?

AB
Aditi Banerjee Posted On : May 16th, 2023
Lives in Bangalore

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.

IIT BHU ECE

  • Core placements are rare and students mostly build their profile for software development companies by becoming proficient in various programming languages, doing competitive coding, doing projects, and trying to build a computer science-inclined profile. A handful of students target core engineering roles.
  • The brand value is similar to other colleges mentioned
  • The campus is rather old and might disappoint freshers expecting a good college life.

IIT Guwahati ECE

  • Unfortunately, I have no knowledge about this Institute. However, I recommend you contact the seniors of IIT Guwahati for the same.

IIT Hyderabad Maths and Computing

  • Usually, MNCs attract top-tier software and financial services firms. If you are a hardworking student, it wouldn’t be difficult to secure amazing offers at top firms.

IIIT Hyderabad CSE

  • IIIT H has possibly one of the best computer science departments in the country. 
  • You have to do core computer science courses right from the first year.
  • Many students get selected for Google Summer of Code and IIIT Hyderabad has its alumni in top-notch firms. 
  • Being highly academically oriented, IIIT Hyderabad has minimal campus life and extracurricular activities.

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