What 's your view on the AI course offered by IIT Hyderabad, its cutoff, future scope, and course pressure?
IIT Hyderabad is the first institute in India to launch a BTech program on AI engineering. I think the credibility of a certain field can be judged by its cutoff and the cutoff of AI has been seen as giving an edge to CSE of IIT Hyderabad and other old IITs.

Does IIT Hyderabad have the potential to grow at par with older IITs, if so, how long will it take, and what would be its ranking after a few years?
Yes, IIT Hyderabad certainly has the potential to grow at par with older IITs. The following rankings prove it further
- NIRF: IIT Hyderabad Overall ranking by NIRF is 14 out of 200 colleges in India in 2022 and it was 16 out of 200 colleges in India in 2021.

The above rankings clearly tell that IIT Hyderabad is better than many old IITs and all new IITs. The only aspect IIT Hyderabad still lacks is infrastructure, which is because it’s still in the development stage.
However, it excels in all other aspects and it’s exactly why it has surpassed many colleges and has been growing at a fast pace.
- IIT Hyderabad gives a primary focus on research and innovation.
- Fractal Academics
- Double Major for B.Tech students
- The faculty-student ratio here is the best among all IITs around 1:13.
- There are 14 departments covering the Engineering, Science, Liberal Arts, and Design Areas. A course can be taken from the Liberal Arts Department for crediting.
- IIT Hyderabad along with top Indian institutes like IITM, CEWiT, IITD, IITK, IISC, and SAMEER is building the largest 5G testbed in the country.
- IIT Hyderabad and Japan Collaboration: IIT Hyderabad has a very unique collaboration with Japanese universities and industries.
- IITH has MOUs with at least 50 universities globally, most of them in Japan, the USA, Australia, Canada, Europe, and Taiwan.
There are many features that make it unique such as its excellent hostels, geographical location, etc. After a few years, IIT Hyderabad is expected to grow and be in a better situation.
Is there AC in IIT Hyderabad hostel?
No, there aren’t ACs in IIT Hyderabad. Instead, there is a Radiant Cooling system that is equally good. In this cooling system, the walls and ceiling of the hostels have hidden pipes that have cold water running through them. The temperature of the water is controlled depending on the season and outside temperature. This system keeps the hostel rooms warm in winter and cool in summer.
To ensure judicious usage of water, recycled water from the rest of the campus is used in the radiant cooling systems. IIT Hyderabad takes water conversation very seriously and implements steps for the same.
How is the Engineering Science course at IIT Hyderabad?
B.Tech in Engineering Sciences is a unique program that is being offered in India for the first time. Its uniqueness lies in the wide spectrum of specializations it offers enabling you to explore all your interests and options.
- Course Structure: The basic structure of the course comprises basic sciences like Maths, Physics, Chemistry, and different engineering disciplines including Computer Sciences, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Civil Engineering, and Chemical Engineering in the initial years. After 2 years, you are left to choose a specialization of your choice.
- Suitability: This course is for those who are in a dilemma regarding the choice of branches but you are willing to explore various fields. It’s definitely worth the risk.
- Curriculum: The first year is similar to other branches. The second year comprises courses from all disciplines like data structures, electrical circuits, solid and fluid mechanics, digital signal processing, etc. The third year will require you to choose the specialization in which you will be doing your courses. It's better to sort your interest by the end of the second year as you will be required to make a project related to your specialization in the 4th year.
- Choice of Specialization: Students of this program are given complete freedom to choose their specialization and there aren’t any rules regarding the number of people opting for a branch, or a CGPA criteria to get into a branch.
- Campus Life: It’s important to know that your branch has zero relationships with the campus life you will be experiencing. Students of all specializations stay in the same place, enjoy the same facilities, living with the same people.
- Internships: Excellent internship opportunities are offered to the students of Engineering Science with some even interning at Amazon, ADP, Aerospace, IDRBT, ISI, etc. Basically, there are plentiful opportunities and your internships and placements depend on your efforts, projects, and academics.
- Degree: This program awards you a degree of B.Tech in Engineering Sciences with specialization in whichever field you choose.
Ultimately, the final decision rests with you!
