Which will be good, IIT BHU Electrical or IIT Hyderabad Electrical?

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.

What is the average placement of electrical engineering in IIT (BHU)?

Additionally, IIT Delhi and IIT BHU attract these top companies. You can expect to get an on-campus internship if you are a student of electrical engineering at IIT (BHU). Nearly 70-80% of students get on-campus internships, and there may be more off-campus internships. The top roles offered during the placement drive are Software Development Engineer (SDE), Data Analyst, and Developer.

Which should be preffered IIT bhu electrical or BITS pilani EEE?

IIT BHU and BITS Pilani are two highly reputed institutions for engineering studies in India. IIT BHU would be a better option over BITS Pilani because of these reasons: Brand Value: IIT BHU carries the prestigious “IIT'' tag. Thus, it has a greater brand value than BITS Pilani. This becomes important when applying to foreign universities for your higher studies. Fees: As a government institution, the fees of IIT BHU is much more affordable as compared to BITS Pilani. Thus, IIT BHU has a higher ROI (Return on Investment) because it offers even better placements than BITS Pilani. Here are the important comparisons between IIT BHU and BITS Pilani: Particulars IIT BHU Electrical BITS PILANI EEE Establishment Year 1919 1926 NIRF Ranking: Engineering 15 25 Tuition Fee *INR 1 lakh per semester INR 2.60 lakhs per semester Highest package (2023) INR 1.15 CPA INR 60.75 LPA (overall) Average package (2023) INR 30.25 LPA INR 30.37 LPA (overall) CTC Range (2023) - INR 9 - 18 LPA ( for Core branches) [In 2024, B.Tech EEE students received top offers in the range of INR 15-25 LPA] Recruiters on Campus Accenture, Accolite, Adani, Aditya Birla, Adobe, etc. Accenture Strategy and Consulting, Alphagrep, Coinswitch, Fischer Jordan, etc. *(for SC/ST/PwD students, and others with family income <= 1 LPA, the tuition fee is 0. The tuition is exempted by 2/3rd for students with family income <=5 lakh and > 1 lakh). Because of all the reasons listed above, I would suggest you opt for Electrical at IIT BHU over EEE at BITS Pilani.

The Course Curriculum is also not that much hectic although it is hard

For me and my family the fees is a big trouble most of the time as it is a huge amount for a middle class , the amount is like approx 1.3 Lacs a semester and your pocket money during the stay in campus . The complete cost may vary between 9 to 10 Lacs for Candidates having family income greater than 5 Lacs. The scholarships are there any most of them are family income based like govt itself provides relaxation in fees if income of family is less than 5Lacs. I am not under any responsibility as of now my parents are taking care of my education.
