Among BITS Hyderabad and IIIT Guwahati, EEE at BITS Hyderabad is the better option, considering the excellent placement scenario of the institute. Here are some of the advantages of joining BITS Hyderabad

  • The environment inside the campus of BITS Hyderabad is very good.
  • Placement in BITS Hyderabad is much better than IIIT Guwahati. Being in Hyderabad, the institute has a lot of location advantages which further aids in placement. Sometimes, the placements in BITS Hyderabad are even compared to that of IITs.

Here is a brief overview of the recent placement statistics at both institutes.

Institute

BITS Hyderabad

IIIT Guwahati

Average CTC

5 LPA

10.2 LPA

Highest CTC

14 LPA

17 LPA

Major recruiters

Microsoft, Infosys, ZS Associates

TCS, Byjus, Zaloni

  • The fee of BITS Hyderabad is higher than that of IIIT Guwahati, which is a point students need to consider before applying for the institute.
  • IIIT Guwahati is a much newer institute and is in its growing phase at present. So, there is no guarantee of placement in the institute.

Although the placement of a student mostly depends on the student’s potential and hard work, the institute definitely plays a role in it. And, considering the above points, electrical and electronics engineering at BITS Hyderabad is definitely a better choice.

If I was to rank the above colleges, then the order would have been

  1. BITS Goa(CSE)
  2. DTU(CSE) 
  3. BITS Hyderabad (CSE) 
  4. NIT Surathkal(CSE) 
  5. NIT Trichy(CSE)
  6. IIIT Allahabad (IT)
  7. NIT Surathkal(IT)
  8. DTU(IT) 

Now, I am sure you would want justification for the above ranking so here it is

  •  BITS Goa has the advantages of its Bits tag, excellent coding culture, has developed some great coders from the last 2-3 years, splendid location and amazing campus life.
  • DTU is one of the best colleges in India with a decent coding culture and has the advantage of being located in the capital. Additionally, it has the advantage of an extensive alumni pool, location in the national capital, and a good alumni base
  • BITS Hyderabad is almost similar to BITS Goa in all aspects as the placements conducted are centralized 
  • NIT Surathkal and Trichy are the oldest and best NITs of India offering great placements, especially for the CSE branch.
  • As far as the IT field is concerned, IIIT Allahabad is superior to all NITs except NIT Warangal, Surathkal, and Trichy.

Ultimately, the final decision is based on various parameters and personal preferences should be given due consideration.

Which is a better place to study economics, Presidency University, Kolkata or BITS, Goa (or Hyderabad)?

RK
Raj Shekhar Kumar Posted On : June 23rd, 2021
B.Sc Economics & Statistics, Presidency University, Kolkata

Presidency University, Kolkata is a better to place to study economics than BITS, Goa, or Hyderabad. Presidency University, Kolkata is well known for its economics department. It also has an excellent subject record.

In the national ranking too Presidency University comes at the top. One of my cousins studies at Presidency University, Kolkata. And he vouches for the Economics degree provided by the institute.

Taking into consideration various factors like fees, faculty, it is safe to say Pracidency University is the better alternative.

But if you are looking for placement after graduation, then joining Presdancyi will not be a good idea. Although their Economics dept. Is well-renowned, they don’t offer placements after graduation. You will have better placement opportunities at BITS Goa.

Which is better, IIT Bhubaneswar for ECE, BITS Pilani Hyderabad campus for CSE or NIT Surthkal for ECE?

SG
Subir Ghosh Posted On : August 13th, 2020
M.E from Birla Institute of Technology and Science Pilani (2017)

BITS is the better choice among all as CSE has more scope than ECE. And NIT Surathkal is an old institute with a better placement record than IIT Bhubaneswar. 

Since BITS Hyderabad is the newest among all other campuses and it certainly is a little behind in terms of faculty, infrastructure, etc. But when compared on a national level it is on par with any other institute. It provides the students with a prime location to look for internships and also provides an edge to them if they are opting for off-campus placements. Although the institute provides students with decent opportunities for on-campus placements also. Around 200 companies visit the campus each year and around 94% of the student secured a job through campus placements with an average package of around 5-6 lakhs per annum and the highest package offered was as high as 14 lakhs per annum.

NIT Surathkal is among the top NITs of this country. The placements of students of this branch are also good although NIT Trichy and Warangal have better placement records. The average placement package offered at this NIT is around 14.15 LPA and 100% placement was observed for B.Tech batches in last year’s placement drive.

ECE is one of the new branches that started at IIT Bhubaneswar starting from 2016. Hence the first batch of students will graduate in 2020. In 2019, the average CTC offered in this IIT was 11.44 LPA. Many core companies, software companies, PSU’s, etc. hire electrical engineers from IIT Bhubaneswar hence one can assume the same trend to be followed for electronics and communication engineering also but the result is yet to be seen.

What's best for me: LNMIIT (CSE), IIEST Shibpur (IT), Bits Hyd (MSc Bio), or IIITB (ECE)?

AG
Akriti Gupta Posted On : May 4th, 2023
lives in Mumbai, Maharashtra, India

If you're considering pursuing a Master of Science (MSc) in Biology at BITS Hyderabad, you may be wondering about your options for changing your specialization to computer science (CS) later on. Here are some things to keep in mind:

  • BITS Hyderabad is known for its strong programs in both biology and computer science. While it's important to choose a program that aligns with your interests and career goals, attending a reputable institution can also be an advantage when it comes to job opportunities and networking.
  • To switch from the MSc in Biology program to CS at BITS Hyderabad, you'll need to be in the top 40 students out of a batch of 160 in your first year. This may sound challenging, but it's definitely achievable with hard work and dedication.
  • Maintaining a good CGPA (cumulative grade point average) in your first year will be crucial for your chances of transferring to the CS program. Aim for a CGPA of around 7.5-8.5 to increase your chances of being among the top 40 students.
  • It's important to note that transferring to the CS program may not be an easy or guaranteed process. You'll need to meet certain academic criteria and compete with other students for a limited number of spots. However, if you're passionate about computer science and willing to put in the effort, it could be a worthwhile pursuit.
  • Before committing to the MSc in Biology program at BITS Hyderabad, make sure to research the program's curriculum and faculty to ensure it aligns with your interests and career goals. Talk to current students and alumni to get a sense of their experiences in the program and how it has helped them in their careers.

Ultimately, the decision to pursue an MSc in Biology at BITS Hyderabad with the goal of switching to CS after the first year is a personal one that depends on your individual circumstances and goals yet it is the best option that you should choose over LNMIIT (CSE), IIEST Shibpur (IT), and IIITB (ECE). While it may be a challenging process, it could also be a rewarding and fulfilling journey for those who are passionate about computer science and willing to work hard to achieve their goals.
