If someone has a passion for engineering, 3rd generation IITs are better than many non-IITs.
This is because the faculty of new IITs is as good as that in the old ones. There’s no compromise at all in the faculty selection process of any IIT. The professors are all genuine and certified experts in their respective fields.
When 2nd and 3rd gen IITs were created, the professors of old IITs were given the choice of continuing beyond retirement. This was done so that no IIT faces a shortage of faculty.
Though the new IITs can’t offer top notch facilities, the learning opportunities in them are good enough. But if packages and placements are talked about, then obviously they won’t be very high for IIT Tirupati in its formative years.
If you’re passionate about engineering, you should consider IIT Tirupati. With talent, skill and passion, you’ll easily land a decent job off campus.
Whenever you are confused between two branches in two different institutes, always prioritize the branch and your inclination towards the same. Institutes do matter but not more than the branch. Both branches are diverse and have different applications. Comparing them would do you no good so it’s best to find out about your interests.
The institute, however, does play a certain role in shaping your career. Aspects like infrastructure, faculty, location, and placements scenario should always be considered. That being said, IITs have the best brand value and enjoy high credibility in the foreign market too. Moreover, their academic environment is multifaceted, helping you grow as a person. The top-notch faculty is another reason to prefer IITs over other institutes.
As far as placements are concerned, they are directly proportional to your hard work, talents, and skills. However, some big companies give preference to IIT and NIT students more than other colleges. So, unless you have an interest in CSE, it’s better to choose IIT Tirupati.
I belong to the first CSE batch of IIT Tirupati. We had it rough because of no senior guidance, and a sense of helplessness. But having said that, CSE is all about self effort and dedication. Whatever college you choose, you’ll feel a bit clueless till about your 3rd semester. But to get through, you need dedication and patience.
Now coming to your answer, IIT Tirupati is a good choice for CSE. You should consider this college if you couldn’t get into CSE at the old IITs. The reasons for this are-
Regardless of the IIT, it is your own efforts and the guidance of your mentors that will lead you towards success in any field.
