Should I prefer civil engineering in IIT Hyderabad or CSE in RVCE?

My suggestion would be to opt for IIT Hyderabad Civil Engineering and prepare for a branch change. IITs cannot be compared to any private college other than BITS. Even if you are unable to change your branch, don’t feel disheartened as the IIT Brand name is more than enough. I know many people who were part of the Chemical, Biotech, and Civil Engineering branches of IIT and are earning more than 12 LPA currently. Irrespective of the branch you belong to, IITs offer an excellent coding culture making you proficient in the same. The quality of peer groups you will be interacting with is also better at IITs than at private colleges like RVCE. All in all, IIT as a brand is better than RVCE and other private colleges except BITS.

All About IIT Hyderabad

The yearly fee for my course is around 2.9lac rupees, which is around 1.45lac rupees per semester. Here is the breakdown of my semester fee: Tuition Fee- 100000 Other fee- 11000 Student welfare fund- 500 Hostel expenses- 15000 Mess expenses- 16319 The fees for the first semester is higher due to- Joining fee- 5000 Student Activities Fund- 3000 Security deposit- 9000 Medical Insurance- 1550 These are paid only for the first semester and not in the further semesters. Additionally, I also had to pay 40000 as my seat acceptance fee, which was later on deducted from my first semester fee. So the total fee for the first semester was around 160000. As I belong to the general category, I get no fee benefits. However, people belonging to other categories get a fee waiver. Their fees are significantly lower. The tuition fee is waived for them. Similar benefits are available for people with a family income below the specified limit (under 500000 or 700000). Students with physical disabilities are also provided with similar benefits.

The courses are a bit hectic you may feel.

Student Snaps:

The fees of IIT Hyderabad increases on a ragular basis , like it increases every year by some amount. So , my tuition fee is 1,00,000 per semester and total fees per semester is 1,61,964 for Gen/OBC/EWS and 61,964 for SC/ST . Hostel fees per semester is 15,000. For B.Design fees per semester is 1,01,964. The SC/ST/PH students get full remission on tuition fees. Also students with annual family income < 1 Lakhs get full fee remission and students with family income less than 5 Lakhs get 2/3rd of fee remission. Any student can opt for Vidyalaxmi Scheme, by which they can get loans to pay fees with zero interest for 4 years. I have applied for sub-ordinator position in TEDx Hyderabad, also i am associated with Tinkerers lab although they are non-profit organisation.

IIT Hyderabad - A institution with a lot of potential to be in the top 4 Engineering institutes in India in the next 10 years.

As per my knowledge the fees has been same since the last 3-4 years. The complete cost of education for the 4 years will be around 120k INR. Scholarships are usually for the reserved students and females , not for the general boys. So for reserved candidates there are lot of opportunities for scholarships.
