Should I prefer IIT Kanpur for electrical or BITS Pilani for a CS?

Both IIT Kanpur Electrical and BITS Pilani CS are excellent choices yet, if I had to choose one, I would have opted for BITS Pilani CS. Here’s why,

• It’s not a brainer that a CS branch will fetch you more opportunities in terms of packages and exposure. It has become one of the most demanded branches and has numerous opportunities for everyone. The workload is also less sparing you more time to explore your area of interest.
• BITS has been given the IoE status making its tag superior in terms of a brand name to IIT Kanpur.
• There are no compulsory attendance rules making it easy for students to leave classes that they find irrelevant and do something productive during that time.
• The accommodation facilities at BITS Pilani are better than IIT Kanpur and students get to have their own room starting from the second year itself. You don’t have to wait for the final year like IITs to get a single room.
• IIT Kanpur's fees are around 8-9 Lakhs whereas that of BITS Pilani are around 19-20 Lakhs. This might be a problem for the financially weak strata. However, BITS Pilani offers many scholarships and you also get a high-paying job much more easily.
