How good is IIT Hyderabad? I am getting Electrical Engineering at IITH? How is the campus life?
IIT Hyderabad is a new IIT that has been growing at a fast pace and is expected to reach the level of older IITs in no time. Its EE Department is excellent with a good updated curriculum. Unlike older IITs, the courses covered are industry relevant and that’s what sets it apart from the EE department of other IITs.
Its syllabus includes various Electronics as well as Electrical courses. Additionally, it contains Machine Learning, sound processing using Python and R, Internet of Things(IoT), and home automation also.

The courses are much more advanced in comparison to courses offered in the EE Department of other IITs that just revolve around generators, motors, and outdated heavy machines. The new IITs may lack in other aspects but their curriculum is modern and useful.
Infrastructure-wise, IIT Hyderabad is a bit lacking considering the fact that it's still in the developing phase. The hostels of the new campus are great with radiant cooling systems. However, the campus lacks greenery and much-needed sports facilities.
Which is better in placements: mechanical engineering dual degree at IIT Kharagpur or electrical engineering at IIT Roorkee?
There's not much of a difference in terms of placements or campus. Go for your interest.
EE comprises power transfer and machines, whereas Mechanical deals with heavy tools and machinery work.
You should choose IIT Kharagpur Mechanical Engineering dual degree due to following reasons:-
- The Dual degree program is a 5 years program with a combination of B.tech and M.Tech or MBA.
- The dual degree program offers you more opportunities if you want to pursue your MBA after Graduation.
- IIT Kharagpur is ranked 6th in NIRF ranking while IIT Roorkee is ranked 5th.
- IIT KGP has great infrastructure with all facilities like WIFI, Labs, and Library.
- IIT Kharagpur has an advantage in terms of the college Campus area which is 2100 acres.
- IIT Kharagpur Dual Degree has a Median Salary of 18 LPA with IIT Roorkee EE at 17 LPA.
Which is better: IIT Jodhpur electrical or NIT Kurukshetra CSE?
I am assuming that you have no specific branch preferences and are just confused between the institutes. In that case, the factors affecting your decision are campus life, facilities, infrastructure, and placements. Consider the table below

Considering everything, IIT Jodhpur is definitely better than NIT Kurukshetra. You will get associated with the much coveted IIT tag and also will have a diverse peer pool. The institute attracts the best crowd and you will be surrounded by some of the finest minds of the country.
The intense competition will challenge your inner self and you will become the best version of yourself. The campus life here is very vibrant and the facilities are great too.
Should I go for IIT Goa Electrical or NIT Kurukshetra CSE even though I have interest in CSE?
My uncle is a professor of Mathematics at IIT Delhi. According to him, one should prioritize the subject/ branch instead of the college while making such decisions.
You have an interest in CSE, as mentioned by you. In that case, you should go for the best college that is offering you CSE. An ‘IIT’ tag is definitely worthy and IITs have their own advantages. However, it will boil down to nothing if you have no interest in your branch.
But, I also wish to make it clear that NIT Kurukshetra does not offer CSE (Computer Science Engineering). Instead, it offers Computer Engineering (CE). The former revolves around Software, while the latter pays more attention to Hardware.
Try to find out more about CE, and then make your final decision. If you decide that CE is a better choice for you, go for NIT Kurukshetra. Otherwise, choose the other option.
You can also look for some other good colleges that offer CSE.
Which branch should I choose among IIT Delhi Chemical, IIT Delhi Biotechnology, IIT Bombay Aerospace, IIT Roorkee Electrical, IIT Roorkee Electronics?
I am a second-year student of Aerospace Engineering at IIT Bombay. I think you should opt for Aerospace Engineering at our institution. You should especially choose this branch if the area of research interests you as it is a research-focused department.
The Aerospace Engineering branch of IIT Bombay consistently performs well in placements. The highest package in 2023 was INR 1.68 CPA, while the median package was INR 19.63 LPA for B.Tech Aerospace Engineering students of IIT Bombay.
Some of the prominent recruiters from the department are- Rolls Royce, Boeing India, Akasa Air, Airbus, etc. After graduation, you can work in aircraft design, or as a technical officer, or in some other related field.
Here are some details of the Aerospace branch at IIT Bombay:

What is better EE at IIT Kanpur or CSE at IIT Roorkee?
Both EE at IIT Kanpur and CSE at IIT Roorkee are well-recognized academic institutions in India. However, the choice between EE at IIT Kanpur and CSE at IIT Roorkee completely depends on your career goals and preferences.
- IIT Roorkee is a better choice as it is one of the oldest institutions and holds 5th rank by NIRF ranking in 2023.
- The total course fee for 4 years of BTech CSE is INR 893400.
- The placement opportunity offered by IIT Roorkee is very positive.
- The highest package offered to students is INR 2.03 CPA by the company Databricks.
- Top companies recruiting are American Express, Google, Microsoft, Reliance Industries and more.
Which is better IIT Guwahati CSE or IIT Delhi EE or IIT KGP CSE 5yrs?
In my opinion, an IIT KGP CSE dual degree is a better option than IIT Guwahati CSE. Here’s why
- You get an additional degree in just one or two years
- You don’t have to sit for another entrance exam like GATE
- Companies that open profiles for BTech also open the same profiles for Dual Degree students.
IIT Guwahati is also a good option for CSE. However, one should opt for IIT Delhi EE only if
You are confident that one will be able to change branch within a year. This is because you will end up studying CS courses with external coaching.
To secure a job, the best options are CSE or MBA. For MBA, your branch does not really matter, only your institute does.
Which should my daughter choose, a CSE from IGDTUW or a ECE from NSIT/DTU/IIIT Delhi?
The choice between CSE from IGDTUW and ECE from NSIT/DTU/IIIT depends on the goals of your daughter. If she is planning to pursue higher studies like MS or a Ph.D., then IIIT Delhi is a decent choice as it’s a research-oriented college. But if she is looking for a job, then IIIT Delhi will offer limited opportunities. This is because getting a job in Core ECE companies like Western Digital and Qualcomm is not easy, as these companies prioritize master students. A few talented students do get placed in Software firms.
In IIIT Delhi first year is the same for both CSE and ECE during which the students are taught Introduction to Programming, System Management, Computer Organisation, Data Structure, and Digital Circuits. Your chances of placement also depend on your CGPA which should be preferably above 7. IIIT Delhi offers the flexibility to choose the CSE courses, provided that you complete the minimum credits requirement in the last two years of B.Tech for the degree.
In all, I feel, that NSIT and DTU will offer great job opportunities because of their brand name but IIIT Delhi will teach you new things and also offer research opportunities
So it’s best to go for NSIT or DTU or IIIT Delhi. Choose wisely.
