student at IIT BHU

I would suggest you choose Electrical Engineering at IIT BHU. Here are a few reasons why IIT BHU is a better choice for Electrical Engineering than IIT Hyderabad:

The electrical engineering department of IIT BHU was established in 1949, and it is one of the oldest in India. On the other hand, IIT Hyderabad was established in 2008. This gives the electrical engineering department of IIT BHU a much better industry reputation and a stronger alumni network.
IIT BHU has an extensive network of graduates in key positions across various industries.

Some renowned alumni of the Electrical Department of IIT BHU are:

Sh. Jay Chaudhry (B.Tech. Electrical, 1980)-CEO and Founder, ZScaler, USA).

Dr. Indu Bhushan (B.Tech. Electrical, 1981)- Ex-CEO, National Health Authority and Ayushman Bharat, Govt. of India.

Sh. Nikesh Arora (B.Tech. Electrical, 1989)- CEO, Palo Alto Networks, USA.

The Electrical department of our college has some highly experience faculty members like-

Prof. R. K. Srivastava (Area of Interest- Linear Induction Motor, Electromagnetics applied to electrical machines, Permanent magnet Axial Flux machines, Special Purpose Electrical Machines).

Prof. Rakesh Kumar Mishra (Area of Interest- Power Systems Operations & Control, Applications of Computational Intelligence in Power Systems).

Prof. Ranjit Mahanty (Area of Interest-Power Electronics).

Prof. Devender Singh (Area of Interest-Distributed Generation, Load Modelling, Load Flow, Distribution System Energy Management, Optimization).

Our institution has a strong foundation in core electrical engineering principles. Moreover, IIT BHU has better placements than IIT Hyderabad.

Here is a comparison between IIT BHU and IIT Hyderabad for your reference:

Particulars	IIT BHU Electrical	IIT Hyderabad Electrical
Establishment Year	1919	2008
NIRF Ranking engineering	15	8
Highest Package (2023)	INR 1.15 CPA	INR 63.78 LPA (Overall)
Average package (2023)	INR 30.25 LPA	INR 24.32 LPA (B.Tech)
Recruiters on Campus	Goldman Sachs, Microsoft, Jaguar, Tata, Google, etc.	Amazon, Flipkart, Goldman Sachs, etc.

Based on these reasons, I would recommend you choose IIT BHU electrical over IIT Hyderabad electrical.

Studied at Indian Institute of Technology Varanasi

Both IIT BHU and IIT Hyderabad are new IITs. However, IIT BHU is an old institute and later on converted to IIT while IITH is newly constructed. Though newly constructed, the growth of IITH has been pretty impressively. According to NIRF ranking, IITH (rank - 7) is far ahead of IIT BHU (rank - 14) which proves that IITH has better infrastructure, faculties, research facilities, outreach, and location.

As of 2019, the opening and closing rank of IITH for Electrical is 808-1868 while in IIT BHU the closing rank was 2054. The IITH has the combined electrical and electronics engineering course which provides students with the knowledge of both the areas as the industry demands and provides opportunities in various areas. In contrast, IIT BHU has a separate electrical engineering course that is dedicated to specific electrical subjects.

Both the IITs hold good placement records. In 2019 a total of 88 students were placed from EE in IIT BHU. The offers were ranged between 10 LPA to 58.21 LPA. Whereas, the placement statistics for the EE department in IITH suggest there was 73.17% placement with a median salary of 15.23 LPA.

IITH has signed MoUs with renowned Japanese colleges, so there is a huge trend of going to further studies in Japan. Unlike IITH, IIT BHU, being an old college, has a strong alumni network, and there are many alumni at high positions in the organization. Both these institutions have their perks for a EE degree, so choose according to your convenience.
