LPU conducts two types of placement drives: Joint Placement Drives and Normal Placement Drives. In Joint Placement Drives, multiple colleges/universities and LPU organize the drive, allowing students from those institutions to participate. The minimum eligibility criterion for Normal Placement Drives by LPU is a CGPA of 5.0 (50%).
Different companies have specific eligibility criteria; for example, Company A may require a CGPA of 7.0 or above with no backlogs. Company B may accept students with a CGPA of 6.5 or higher and a maximum of one backlog.
LPU automatically registers eligible students for upcoming company placements, with a one-day window to deregister if uninterested. Company visits are announced daily on the LPU Touch App, which provides details such as the registered student list, location, and reporting time.
Students facing issues regarding a specific company placement can inform the placement coordinator. Proper formal attire, including the LPU logo blazer, full-sleeve pastel-coloured shirt, matching pants, tie, formal shoes, and well-groomed appearance, is mandatory for all students attending placements.
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.
