Which one would be a better choice, in terms of career, if one has the option to pursue a B.Tech/M.Tech in CSE from either the NITs/BITS or IIIT Hyderabad?

One of my friends was in a similar dilemma when he had to choose between NIT, BITS Pilani, and IIIT Hyderabad. Visiting the NITs he found out about their poor infrastructure so removed it from his preference list. Confused between BITS and IIIT he decided to consult his cousin in BITS and eventually decided to go for it. Today, he claims that choosing BITS was one of the wisest decisions of his life. He stated his entire experience that I have summarised below in points

• BITS Pilani focuses on the holistic development of its students and its wide range of  clubs, departments, disciplinary associations, and regional associations develop you as a person and not just as an engineer.
• The institute instills a sense of responsibility within you and you become an emphatic part of the society. 
• BITS Pilani gives you the chance to work on interdisciplinary projects with mechanical and electrical engineering students, 
• Here you will see an active entrepreneurship culture and the professors not only motivate but also assist the students in the same.
• The research culture is another prominent feature and my friend won several international accolades.
• You will be surprised to know that BITS is the only private Indian university that is working on sensitive military projects.
• The BITS tag does help in securing good packages but the rest of the journey depends on your efforts, performance, practical experience, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills.

So, every institute be it IIIT Hyderabad, BITS Pilani or NIT Trichy offers its own kind of opportunities, culture, and resources. It depends on you, how much you are willing to make the most out of them.
