How can I change my branch in IIT Hyderabad?

Branch change to CSE and EE is quite difficult but branch change to another specialization is not that difficult. Generally, it’s easier to get a branch change in IIT Hyderabad because in the first semester itself, you will be studying departmental courses rather than the same syllabus.

The branches that have easy branch change are Material, chemical, and civil. These have easier first-semester curriculum as a result of which their average SGPA is usually 8.5+. Branches like CSE, EE, and Engineering Science rarely have any students that cross the 8.5 SGPA hence they didn't apply for the same.

In conclusion, it’s easier to get a branch change if you belong to Metallurgy, Chemical, or Civil rather than EE or Mechanical.
