Which is a better course, IIIT Hyderabad for an ECE or IIT Madras metallurgical?

Like any other person, I give more emphasis on average packages to judge a particular course or an Institute. Here, the average package of Metallurgy at IIT Madras is INR 15 LPA whereas that of ECE at IIT Hyderabad is INR 29 LPA. 

Now, many people may not find the average package justifiable criteria to judge a course. For them, I have listed some points about both institutes and they are free to make a decision based on what appeals to them the most.

IIIT Hyderabad 

• The average package of the course you want to take is higher
• The Institute is situated in the Technical hub of the country, Hyderabad 
• IIIT Hyderabad admissions are done solely based on merits and there are no reservations at all
• You will get a grasp of many CS related subjects and become proficient in coding and computer networks

IIT Madras

• It offers a rich campus life experience and creates thousands of good memories here
• It’s cultural fest is considered one of the best in the country and shouldn’t be missed
• The infrastructure is top notch with a massive campus loaded with a lot of amenities like cafés, playground, and swimming pool.
• Excellent exposure is provided through inter IIT Tech Meet wherein you get to interact with geniuses from different IITs.
• Opportunities for you to pursue a Ph.D. from top foreign universities 
• IITs conduct open placements and irrespective of your branch you can get placed in Consultancy, Finance, Software, etc.
• Another option is becoming a teacher in an IIT that guarantees a good stable pay 

All in all, IIT Madras offers a more laid back experience while IIIT Hyderabad strictly focuses on core studies.
