Which should I prefer among IIT Hyderabad EE and IIIT Hyderabad CSE?

I don’t think you should even consider joining IIT Hyderabad EE when you have the option of IIIT Hyderabad CSE given the fact that it’s the 2nd best in India after IIT Bombay CSE. The course is very challenging and IIIT Hyderabad does not have a lively atmosphere like IITs. Rather, the entire focus is on CS courses and research work. Although the campus is very small and lacks any extracurricular facilities, it’s heaven for coders. The academic workload is terrible with intense competition among peers. So, if you are certain of your genuine interest in coding and are ready to get committed to it for the rest of your life, nothing will serve you better than IIIT Hyderabad. But if you prefer a more flexible learning environment with more courses to choose from, IIT Hyderabad EE is the right option for you. Here, you can explore more electives apart from EE and in fact, EE itself has some computer courses like data science, machine learning, etc. Overall, both are excellent choices, and it’s only a matter of preference. Go for IIIT if you are certain of CS and go for IIT if you aren’t sure of your inclinations. Either way, you will not be disappointed.

What is your review about IIT Hyderabad, electrical engineering branch?

Although every department of IIT Hyderabad offers top-notch education, it’s the EE department that steals the show. There are many unique aspects of this department that make it one of the most coveted branches of IIT Hyderabad. The fractal academic system is a unique feature of IIT Hyderabad that sets it apart from other IITs. You have no choice but to work hard and excel in all subjects. There aren’t mids and ends in every sem instead you have monthly quizzes to evaluate you regularly. There are many other strategies adopted to make the students work hard. For example, surprise quizzes in almost every subject are taken. These quizzes require the students to prepare before and after every class and also be regular to classes. The EE department helps convert theory to practice through a number of projects.

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. IIT Hyderabad Campus 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.

IIT-Hyderabad, a place if ample opportunities

Fees structure of the college is quite good compared to infrastructure, cuz infrastructure over here is quite dashing and awesome, it's totally similar to foreign stuff, everything over here is aspired from French and Japan, hostels have radiant cooling, which helps students in the winter and summer season, in summer radiant cooling keeps room cool and in winter vice versa

There is rarely any fee hike. If there is any fee hike, it won't affect the old students. There are many scholarships provided by others to help students study. Many students even get campus placements.

Fresher point of view in IITH

I did not get any scholarship. Fees are on a bit higher side. And I think the scholarship is on a parental income basis so I did not get any. I think they should give a slight flexibility on the income scale so that those who are in the mid-range income category also can avail of it.
