Has IIIT Hyderabad CSE grown beyond IIT Madras and IIT Kharagpur?
When it comes to comparing institutions, rankings and comparisons can be found in various sources, but it's important to be unbiased in your analysis. While I cannot provide a clear answer on which institution is better, I can share my beliefs based on my experiences.
If you're considering IIIT-H, you should know that they offer courses in Computer Science and Electronics only, with Computer Science being their forte. Here's what makes IIIT-H's CS education stand out:
- Refined Curriculum: IIIT-H focuses on CS fundamentals from the very first year, and the base courses are stressed more than the others. This helps students establish a strong foundation, which allows them to focus on advanced topics in later years.
- Culture: IIIT-H has a culture of producing great programmers year after year. For instance, a team from IIIT-H qualifies for the ACM ICPC World Finals almost every year. When these programmers are your teaching assistants, lab tutors, or neighbors (IIIT is a small community with around 200 students per year), their success and mindset rub off on you, and you learn how to study and succeed. This is a unique attribute of IIIT-H that sets it apart from other institutions.
In terms of placements, IIIT-H, and IITs are more or less similar. In fact, CS graduates from IITs are also poached by banks and consulting firms due to their strong mathematics and quantitative analysis backgrounds. Faculty members are equally good at both places.
Unlike IIIT-H, IITs offer specializations in various engineering fields, such as Civil and Mechanical engineering. While these fields may be less appealing currently due to their reduced demand in the job market, they are still essential components of the engineering industry. Therefore, it's unfair to say that IIIT-H has grown beyond any IIT in its entirety. But as far as Computer Science is concerned, IIIT-H has carved out its own niche and excels in this field.
How are placements at acharya institute of technology for ECE branch?

Apart from this, your skills, individual performance in interviews, and overall CGPA will determine the results of your placements at Acharya Institute of Technology within the ECE branch.
Which course is better for higher studies, textiles at IIT Delhi or chemical at IIT BHU?
Ranking-wise the preference order of the above-mentioned courses is
IIT Delhi > IIT Kanpur > IIT Roorkee > IIT BHU
Based on their closing rank, the branches can be arranged in the following order
Chemical>Metallurgy>Textile
This was based on general data, but if you have an inclination towards a specific branch, then go for it without much hesitation. Your passion will keep you motivated despite various challenges thrown at you. But in case you have no specific preference, then you can consider the college and branch ranking to make an informed decision.
Apart from CS and Electrical, students from most branches opt for non-core jobs which require much more than their core academics for placements. In that case, you can prefer IIT BHU over IIT Roorkee.
Ultimately, the final decision is yours to make. Choose wisely considering various factors like location, friends, etc,
