Irrespective of whichever Institute you go for, CSE is the most demanded branch today and has the best pay scale and job prospects. So, if it’s placements you are after, then BITS Pilani CSE is the right choice for you.

However, if you want to become an entrepreneur then Delhi being the capital is the absolute best place for you. Choosing IIT Delhi on the pretext of learning coding in the last year is a wrong mindset and at the end of the day, you will find yourself with little exposure and knowledge than those who learned coding for 4 years.

Make a well-informed decision considering the pros and cons of both institutes and courses.

Both IIT Delhi and BITS Pilani are esteemed institutions with dynamic programs in electrical engineering and computer science, respectively. However, the decision of which program to choose depends on your personal interests and career goals. But one can consider the following points while make the decision 

• Placements: The placement scenario is quite similar in both the institutes' byte CSE being the most in-demand branch sought better placements with the average package this year being, INR 30.37 LPA. Additionally, you can get coding jobs more easily as a CS student than EE.
• Brand: This is where your IIT tag comes into play. It has a better brand value than BITS thus making it easier to apply abroad for higher education.
• Education: Both the quality of education and rigor is higher at IIT Delhi than BITS.
• Workload: BITS Pilani has less academic workload making it possible to seek much more than studies. The laid-back ambiance gives you opportunities to explore your interests apart from academics.
• Fees: BITS Pilani has much higher fees around INR 4.84 lakh- INR 19.94 lakh for the CS program whereas IIT Delhi has lower fees around INR 8.00 Lakh.
• Location: IIT Delhi enjoys the locational advantage of being surrounded with markets, multiplexes, and malls which is not possible due to the remote location of BITS Pilani.

 BITS is somewhere near the level of IIT Delhi but its overall campus and opportunities are yet to reach its level.

BITS Pilani is known for its huge and impressive campus and its beautiful infrastructure combined with top-quality education attracts many aspirants. There are some valid reasons I am stating as to why one should choose BITS Pilani over IIT Delhi

• There are no compulsory attendance rules which give you enough freedom to prioritize things and manage your time well
• The timetable is rather flow-like as it’s designed by the students itself and there are some additional electives apart from Engineering subjects to break the monotony.
• An excellent campus with top-notch infrastructural facilities makes the learning experience more comfortable for the students.
• BITS Pilani offers single rooms to its students from the second year itself giving the students a private dove to function well
• The school lays great emphasis on transforming theoretical knowledge into practice through compulsory internships which are a brilliant experience.

All these reasons convinced my sister to join BITS Pilani and today she is glad she took the decision.

Engineering Design course offered at IIT Madras is a better option than BITS Pilani Mechanical Engineering. This program is a perfect combination of 60% Mechanical and 30% Electrical engineering. The curriculum is designed to suit the demands of the coming future in terms of developing a product from scratch. 

ED from IIT Madras will provide better options for you in comparison to Mechanical at BITS Pilani. You can choose between 

• Higher studies (or)
• Placements

Higher studies: IITs have a better brand name than BITS globally and thus the IIT tag will fetch you the best higher studies opportunities in top foreign universities. Despite being a new department, ED has alumni in very reputed colleges like MIT, Georgia Tech, etc.

Placements: In this aspect too, IIT sits way ahead of BITS as many top companies just visit IITs. Specifically speaking, IIT Madras has scored the best in comparison to other IITs in terms of placements. The placements statistics of the ED department of IIT Madras are next in level to CS and Electrical offering better placements than Mechanical, and Chemical in terms of the number of students placed as well as the average package offered.

For either of the options, ED from IIT Madras seems to be the better option than Mechanical from BITS Pilani, especially considering the double fees you will have to pay in BITS.

In my opinion, you have made the right decision by dropping the PITS Pilani EEE branch for IIT Madras Metallurgy. My cousin was forced to take IIT Madras Metallurgy by his mother. Initially, he was disappointed but his mother advised him to continue with the same enthusiasm he cleared JEE. Many students after getting admission relax and this opens opportunities for those who continue to slog even after admission.

Your ultimate goal should be to change your branch for which you will have to work hard. This can be done by staying among the top 5% of the batch with around 9 CGPA. You can switch to Mechanical and even to Electrical sometimes with a good CGPA. All you have to do is

• Focus on your subjects
• Do well in the tutorials
• Perform well on quiz 
• Ace your practicals 
• Score high in the Final semester exam

IIT Madras has a plethora of subjects to choose from in addition to a dual degree. You can change your branch provided your academic performance is at par with the requirements in the 3rd year. Some other highlights that might convince you further to choose IIT Madras are

• Creative clubs like C5 help in harnessing skills in your area of interest. These clubs have made amazing innovations and you can always learn so much by being a part of them.
• The unique Research Park which is the IIT Madras incubation center 
• Extracurricular activities such as Yoga, 5-star Gym, long-distance running, etc.
• The Institute operates under the leadership of highly learned alumni and so are most of the Deans.
• Air-conditioned Central library that is stacked with resources

All these are unique to IIT Madras and thus it’s a better option than BITS Pilani.

If you look at a general perspective, both IIT and BITS are extremely prestigious Engineering institutes in the country. Both have managed to contribute largely to the world's technological map. IIT JEE is the national-level exam for Class 12 students for admission to IITs while the entrance exam to BITS is the only engineering entrance exam in India to evaluate candidates on the basis of Logical Reasoning and English language skills as well.

I have drawn a general comparison between the 2 institutes on the basis of some common aspects

Entrepreneurs: The success of an Engineering institute depends primarily on its Entrepreneurship culture. Some Famous entrepreneurs from both institutes are as follows 

IIT Entrepreneurs:

• Dipchand Deep Nishar was the highest-paid manager at LinkedIn till 2014. Currently, he is a board member of TripAdvisor and a software company called Opower and also works as an advisor for several tech companies.
• Nikesh Arora, a graduate of IIT-BHU, is one of the highest-paid employees at Google. He is the Chief Business Officer and a Senior Vice President in the company.
• Soumitra Dutta from IIT-Delhi is the Dean of Cornell University’s Management School.
• Vinod Khosla from IIT-Delhi again is the co-founder of Sun Microsystems. 

BITS Entrepreneurs

• Baba Kalyani is the Chairman of Bharat Forge.
• Prithviraj Chavan is the Chief Minister of Maharashtra.
• Rakesh Kapoor is the CEO of Reckitt Benckiser.
• Sanjay Mehrotra is the President and Co-founder of SanDisk.
• Sunil Duggal is the C

Placements 

We can safely conclude that placement scenario at IIT Bombay is better than BITS.

Campus life: BITS Pilani has a better campus life and culture than IIT Bombay. It boasts of a well-planned campus, libraries and hostel facilities. It has a unique concept wherein students take tutorials from their various teachers. Its cultural event Grubs is quite popular in engineering students.

Fees: IIT Bombay Total fee is around INR 9,50,000 (BTech) whereas BITS semester-wise fees is 2,31,500/-

Since IITs are run by the government, studying at IIT is cost-effective whereas BITS are expensive.

Infrastructure: Both IIT campuses and BITS Pilani campuses have top notch infrastructure. However, most of the new IITs lack a permanent campus and are also facing a lack of a good faculty positions. BITS has a limited number of campuses that are well-established and it is known to upgrade its world-class infrastructure on a regular basis keeping up with changes in technology.

Faculty: BITS Pilani attracts the best faculty from India and abroad. It offers better salary and more freedom to its teaching staff. Whereas IITs often face faculty issues. Many new IITs depend on guest faculty or visiting faculty to conduct their classes.

I would suggest you to choose IIT mainly because of low fees and the IIT tag.

The choice of Institute depends largely on your inclinations and area of interest. For instance, if you are into Computer Science and want to pursue a career in the same, the best choice would be IIIT-H. Sadly, BITS is not among the top CS colleges.

Mechanical Engineering programs offered at top colleges are good but you have to invest extra time and offers to land a decent job. Going for a low-package job will discredit the purpose of pursuing Mechanical Engineering.

In my opinion, BITS is the right choice for you as you get to interact with great peers and also get the opportunity to work on projects with students of other branches. You should work hard to secure high marks only then you can land a good package and also help you in MS. One can do MS in Robotics or Design to identify their area of interest.

Some education and experience-based profiles that guarantee a high package around 50 LPA are as follows

The education and experience of the profiles below will help you reach 50 LP at 26 years of age with just B.Tech and work experience (CSE and Mech)
