How is IIIT Hyderabad's MSIT course for a non it student ? What sort of companies recruit from the MSIT course??

IIIT Hyderabad MSIT course is perfect for someone who has a flawed academic profile like a gap year or something. People like these have very limited opportunities so this course might uplift their chances of getting placed decently. However, since you specifically asked, this course is not a good option if you have an IT background. This is because the curriculum is repetitive and covered in a shorter duration. Also, if you are employed, it’s better to invest your efforts in improving your work experience than wasting time on this course. The placements are decent and in fact, during the first phase, you might get into top IT giants like Amazon, Salesforce, American Express, etc. But if you fail to get placed in these then the only option left is to get into service sector-based companies. So, this course is best suited for those who are looking for a means to upgrade their academic profile.

Highly Classified Review on IIIT Hyderabad

Dislikes

Highly Competitive: The rigorous currciulum combined with highly competitive field can be a little stressful sometimes.

Fees and Financial Aid:

The tuition fees are too much compared to other engineering colleges in India. They do increase the fees every year like 10k or something. So like per semester, around 2.5lacs would be required for education including hostels and messes. They do provide student loans like SBI Scholar for about 40lacs and also there is a pay-it-forward scheme where one of the alumni pays for your fees and you pay the fees of another student after you graduate. I have not taken any roles as such since I have just started my campus life.

Coding and social life of iiith

There is minute increase in tuition fee every year, on top of that hostel charges also increase every semester. Complete estimated course of my education is expected to be around 35 lacs for four years. The campus has very good placement record with average CTC being 32 lac and internships are also offered with high stipends

Reviewing IIIT hyderabad inside out

Likes

The way the academic courses are structured is phenomenal . We are given a good enough exposure of industry work through our courses only . most of the courses are important for securing a job . a lot of practicality is taught in the courses , labs .
The coding culture is very good in IIIT hyderabad .we are made to practice a lot of coding questions via labs, assignments,exams

The schedule is quite hectic .there will be many assignment deadlines on the same day
The semester keeps moving so fast without enough breaks which is quite a big headache for the students

As for now , the tution fee per semster is 2 lakhs . It gets incremented every year by 20k . There are two ways on which the college provides financial assistance . one is through bank loan of upto 30 lakhs without any security deposit. the bank is sbi which is inside the campus only . the other way is through alumni support .in this the students fee is paid by alumni fund and the students needs to repay the amount to the alumni support group after getting a job within 2 years . the mess and tution fee will cost around 45-50k per semester depending upon what meals we register for. we get scholarships such as Realiance foundation, ongc and LG scholarship. so far we have recoredre 100 percent placements last to last year . our college has summer internships also with decent stipend. our campus is very research oriented so it often gets interns who are intereseted in reasearch work .

A place with Great Minds!

The tution fees for each semester is 1.8 lakh,which sums to 3.6 lakh for a year ,40k for hostels and 50k for mess,summing to a total for around 4.5lakhs per year. Please note that this is the fees for students applying through JEE mode.The fees vary according to the mode of application. I'm not aware about the scholarship opportunities.IIITH has a really good record of placements,with a record 100% placements so far. The ECE branch has an average package of 20-22 lpa and CSE has 28 lpa average package. The cllege has a really good research culture,thu ]s there are very less internship opportunities available .

IIIT Hyderbad: A comprehensive review after a year

Interactive profesors (most) and nice course structure

Attendence policy of 85 % which works out to 4 holidays a sem
Complusory value education + sports every alternate day

The course fee is 3, 50, 000, but expect to pay around 5 LPA. IIIT also has a policy of frequent fee hikes. You don't have to buy books as most of them are provides. Also hostel is madatory as class and exam can happen late at night (6 to 8).

IIIT-H

I recently learned that electives are randomly allocated with makes no sense.
The academic rigor is too high sometimes. The constant inflow of assignments and exams can be quite tiring.
Sports and HSS courses are compulsory amounting to nearly 8 credits (even more after 3rd year) which again makes no sense if you have no interest in them.

The tuition fee has increased drastically. It was 1,80,000 per sem in my first year and it already hiked to 2,00,000. Mess and hostel fees also seem to be increasing. Hostel and Mess is compulsory (you can refuse if you have a valid medical reason). PGs around this area are way more expensive so the hostel and mess fee structure makes sense especially in this economy.

Strict 85% attendance policy is something which bothered me.

Fee structure is well balanced with hostel and mess fees being surprisingly low. Scholarships are provided by various comapnies etc and also SBI avails low interest loans for the students with one of its branch present inside the campus.

Navigating Brilliance: A Deep Dive into IIIT Hyderabad's Campus Culture, Placement Prowess, and Academic Marvels

I like the curriculum of IIITH as it is different from other colleges in India.

In the first year first semester I pay Rs 175000 as tution fees, and it increases by Rs 10000 per year. The mess and hostel fees combined total 80k-83k per year. There is an Alumni fund programme that provides financial assistance to eligible students. It's a pay-forward scheme where some alumni will pay your fees, and when you're capable enough, you'll pay some students fees at that time. We don't get jobs on campus.
