I will suggest you consider your own interests first rather than the placement scenario. For this, you can go through the course structure of both branches. If you still are unable to determine the right choice for yourself, go through the following pros and cons of both institutes

IIIT Delhi 

Pros:

  1. IIIT Delhi has a more Research-oriented curriculum and has an interdisciplinary approach to the curriculum.
  2. The packages offered are at par with most tier-1 colleges like DTU, NSUT, decent NITs, etc.
  3. The lab facilities are modern and top-notch

Cons

  1. IIIT Delhi has a very small campus.
  2. The college is relatively new so the alumni network is very weak.

BITS Pilani

Pros:

  1. Excellent noncore placements especially management/finance.
  2. The curriculum is very flexible and students of all branches get to choose minors in Data Science, Finance, Robotics, etc. 
  3. The college has a huge brand name and alumni pool which adds credibility in promotions and pay grades.
  4. The college has the PS system, which gives every student 8 months (6+2) of internship in top companies solely based on your preference and CGPA. 
  5. The institute has a very charming campus life

Cons:

  1. No compulsory attendance policy which might affect those who aren’t very self-motivated.
  2. A lot of participation in festivals and cultural events is required which although good, might affect your academics negatively. 

Ultimately, choose what signs with your preferences.

What should I chose between BITS Pilani Hyderabad ECE and IIT Kharagpur Manufacturing science and engineering?

AB
Aditi Banerjee Posted On : March 27th, 2023
Lives in Bangalore

This answer can be answered in 2 aspects; branch wise and Institute wise.

Branch-wise, ECE is way ahead of Manufacturing Science and Engineering and has a wider scope after graduation. ECE students are hired by both electronics and software companies. Moreover, ECE is a major stream whereas Manufacturing is just a sub-stream under Mechanical Engineering.

Specifically talking about colleges only, I would suggest you choose IIT KGP which has a stronger brand name and legacy than BITS Pilani Hyderabad. Its reputation is not just limited to India and has great scope outside India as well. It gets better and more companies than BITS during campus placements.

One major point of difference is the location of both institutes. Hyderabad has a much superior location than IIT Kharagpur thus offering better college life and exposure. IIT KGP is remotely located and lacks the necessary industry touch and exposure.

You have to travel long distances just to eat or do shopping. You will miss out on city life and the opportunities it has to offer. While the campus is great, you have to stay inside as the world outside is desolate. Spending 4 years without much exposure might limit your opportunities.

Hyderabad on the other hand has everything city life has to offer apart from being a major IT hub. This makes it possible to apply for campus jobs as well which is not possible in the case of IIT KGP.

In the end, it’s you who has to make a decision. Go where your heart is inclined the most be it ECE or Manufacturing at IIT or BITS. Just make sure to make a decision that will not make you regret it later.

Which college is better- NIT Warangal, IIT Hyderabad, IIIT Hyderabad, CBIT or BITS Hyderabad?

SB
Sachin Beriwal Posted On : May 16th, 2023

Let’s do a comprehensive comparison of IIT Hyderabad, IIIT Hyderabad, and NIT Warangal (as my knowledge is limited to these 3 only)

IIT Hyderabad

  • It has a great learning environment and students are very focused on academics and research. The fractal system is a cherry on top.
  • The faculty is dedicated and very young, some of them aged less than 40. 
  • The system of fractal academics imparts a diverse learning experience as students are allowed to choose a course of their choice taught by their favorite professor. You can take courses in liberal arts like painting, learning foreign languages, pottery, etc. 
  • The course structure is flexible and one can do a minor or even a second major in other departments.
  • Being close to the metropolitan city, Hyderabad, IIT Hyderabad attracts the best recruiters and faculty. 

NIT Warangal

  • It’s one of the first RECs established and is a highly esteemed institute with experienced faculty and notable alumni.
  • Many professors lack a systematic course plan and are unable to complete the course in time. Some of them aren’t approachable and students are unable to get their queries solved. 
  • A lot of on-campus politics goes on at NIT Warangal.
  • You get the opportunity to join NCC as well. There is a big outdoor stadium, gym and facilities for sports. 
  • The student body committee is very powerful and you can even protest openly against the director.

IIIT Hyderabad: It’s considered a good option for computer science students.

BITS Hyderabad: It is also a decent institute with students enjoying good opportunities and freedom.

CBIT: It is one of the best private institutes in AP and Telangana. However, it cannot be compared to NIT Warangal or others, as the exposure and opportunities of NIT are way better.

In my opinion, the ultimate preference order should be,

IIT Hyderabad> IIIT H>=BITs H>= NIT W>CBIT

Is the Manipal Institute of Technology as good as BITS Hyderabad or Goa?

RT
Raktim Tarafdar Posted On : September 9th, 2023

No, except the Mechanical Engineering branch of MIT Manipal, it cannot be compared to one of the best private engineering colleges, BITS.

MIT Manipal may have better infrastructure than BITS Goa and Hyderabad but fails to give an edge in other aspects such as placements, coding culture, campus life, club culture, and brand name.

  • MIT Manipal has great placements for CS branches but below average for other branches. 
  • BITS also has a better environment for extracurricular activities and social development clubs. The campus life at Manipal is at par with BITS Goa. 
  • Location is another factor Manipal gives an edge to BITS. It’s a university town and you get to interact with students from 25 different colleges. 
  • The coding culture in all the BITS is unmatched and the faculty pool is also better. 
  • The quality of students at BITS is better because its entrance exam BITSAT is more difficult than MU OET, the Manipal entrance exam. This ensures a more filtered crowd.

So it can be safely concluded that Manipal is improving, but it is yet to reach the level of BITS.

Should I go for nit Calicut eee or bits hyderabad ece??please provide details on both(median package and opportunities and scope)

RT
Raktim Tarafdar Posted On : July 31st, 2023

Between NIT Calicut and BITS Hyderabad, the latter is the better option irrespective of the branch you are getting. Here are a few points of difference between the two institutes. 

  • BITS Hyderabad EEE placements are great and students get placed in core electronics companies such as NVIDIA, National Instruments, Texas Instruments, MediaTek, etc while NIT Calicut has very few core companies and students are usually placed in IT companies.
  • BITS Hyderabad charges very high fees whereas NIT Calicut charges average fees. 
  • BITS Hyderabad offers a better exposure and research culture in comparison to NIT Calicut.
  • BITS Hyderabad has an excellent faculty pool and the labs are equipped with modern instruments much better than NIT Calicut.

In my opinion, BITS Hyderabad should be your preference provided that you have no monetary issues.

Shall I take the IIT, Tirupati CSE or the BITS Hyderabad CSE?

PD
Purnima Dholakia Posted On : October 28th, 2020
B.Tech from Indian Institute of Technology Tirupati (2020)

BITS Hyderabad, which is affiliated under BITS Pilani, ranked 30th by NIRF amongst top engineering colleges in India, is very well renowned for computer science. While IIT Tirupati was recently established and hasn’t been ranked yet by NIRF.

The table given below briefly compares the colleges-

Category

IIT Tirupati

BITS Hyderabad

Average Fee Per Year

INR 78,218

INR 4,23,475

Student Strength

60

80-100

Entrance Exams

JEE Advanced

UGC Net, BITSAT

Campus

  • IIT Tirupati- The permanent campus, proposed to be spread across 530 acres, is under construction as of now and students have to stay in a transit campus.
  • BITS- It is spread over a lush 200 acre space. 3 Huge Fests are organised every year which see a footfall of around 3,000. Various events and competitions are also organised round the year which help in holistic development.

Placement

BITS Hyderabad

It has an average placement rate of 94% for computer science. Top recruiters are Aditya Birla Group, Microsoft, Adobe, BeeHyv, Amazon, etc. Other notable features are:

  • Average CTC offered is 11 LPA
  • Highest CTC offered is 40 LPA
  • Around 25% students receive PPOs from companies like Google, Dell, Spikewell, Microsoft in the pre-final year

IIT Tirupati

It is relatively new, hence much detailed placement data is not yet available. Major recruiters are Envestnet Yodlee, Bosch, TCS, Honeywell, etc.

  • The average package was 9.6 LPA
  • Highest CTC offered was 25 LPA

Both BITS and IITs have a brand value but Tirupati being a new institute, is yet to make its mark. Faculties at both the colleges are highly qualified. Computer science is the most sought-after skill in the present industry and hence if one works hard, he/she can excel.

Which is better, NIT Warangal (ECE) or BITS Hyderabad (CSE) in a placement perspective?

Sabeer Chalana Posted On : September 6th, 2023

NIT Warangal and BITS Hyderabad are renowned institutes in India. But BITS Hyderabad is leading due to some reasons, which are listed below

Internship – BITS Hyderabad provides a six months internship program right after the degree program. This experience is beneficial for getting a full-time job

Dual Placement – The core companies visit the college twice a year so the students can sit for the interview two times

Early Graduation – The degree program can be completed six months early, or you can take a break for six months and complete the degree on time.

Coding Culture – BITS Hyderabad has a highly competitive culture in ICPC. The trend toward open-source development increased GSOC selections.

Peer Group – This institute does not have reservations, so you will have a healthy peer group

Minor Degrees – You can also pursue other minor degree courses like data science, finance, robotics, etc., which adds an edge to your inclinations.

Overall, BITS Hyderabad is a better choice than NIT Warangal.

Which will be better, IIT Patna for metallurgy and material sciences or BITS Hyderabad for an MSc in physics?

Sabeer Chalana Posted On : July 7th, 2023
The final decision should be based on your interest in the core subject. Both institutes are renowned for their academics, experienced scholars, and infrastructure.

IIT Patna

The Department of Metallurgy and Material Sciences was established in 2012; you won’t regret choosing this institute as you will have the advantage of the brand name IIT. Most companies prefer IIT students, and it is also beneficial if you are planning to attend competitive entrance exams like the CAT, GMAT, and so on.

Which is better for computer engineering, IIT Hyderabad or BITS Hyderabad?

SB
Sachin Beriwal Posted On : May 16th, 2023

It’s highly illogical to measure IIT Hyderabad, the fastest-growing new IIT with a private institute BITS. 

  • Only top rankers with JEE Advanced ranks in the range of 500–5500 get into IIT Hyderabad while those who don’t get through JEE Advanced or have ranks of 8000+ easily get good seats in BITS Hyderabad.
  • BITS Hyderabad is BITS Pilani Hyderabad Campus, not BITS Pilani.
  • The average package of IIT Hyderabad is almost par with that of IIT Delhi and Bombay, while the average package of BITS Hyderabad is much lower. 
  • IIT Hyderabad has a Fractal Academic System, under which there is regular testing and grading throughout the year. Also, you can fill your academic palette with the courses of your choice.
  • The courses are industry relevant and updated, unlike older IITs.
  • Owing to the Japan Collaboration, IIT Hyderabad students regularly get internship offers, job offers, and higher study and research opportunities in Japan.
  • IIT Hyderabad frequently collaborates with IIIT Hyderabad for Hackathons, Coding Competitions, and other stuff. 
  • IIT Hyderabad is still in its development phase and BITS has a much better campus than IIT Hyderabad.

I feel IIT Hyderabad is the better option for CS in comparison to BITS Hyderabad.

Should I go for Bits Hyderabad CS? I've heard the crowd over there is not very good.

JS
Jeet Shah Posted On : December 19th, 2023
Studied at BITS Pilani, Hyderabad Campus (2018)

As a student of BITS Hyderabad, I can assure you that such claims are baseless and untrue. 

Around 80% of the crowd at our college consists of students who have cleared JEE Advanced, and 60% ranked within 10k. 

Moreover, the students of BITS Hyderabad perform extremely well in studies and extracurriculars. The students shine in various programs and competitions like - SpaceX Hyperloop, GSoC, Topcoder, SAE BAJA, CANSAT, SA Cup, etc. 

The campus has a rich tech and research culture, and the placement stats are getting better with each year. You can become a part of international clubs like SEDS and SAE, and other clubs like CRUX, ADASTRA and ARC.

Thus, you can consider BITS Hyderabad for your B.E. CS without any hesitation.
