Which is better for CSE? (IIT Roorkee vs BITS Pilani vs IIT BHU vs IIIT Hyderabad)

AB

Lives in Bangalore

Every Institute has its unique aspects as well as its own strengths and weaknesses. Some factors to consider include the quality of the faculty, the resources available to students, the research opportunities, and the campus culture. 

IIT Roorkee, BITS Pilani, and IIT BHU CS are definitely excellent but IIIT Hyderabad wins the race when it comes to CS. It’s second only to IISc Bangalore, IIT Bombay, and Madras. Because of only 2 branches, the entire focus of the Institute is on CS only. The opportunities, ambiance, and faculty are aligned with the requirements for a good CS branch. Another good option is IIT BHU because of its high ROI.

Having known a few friends in all 4 institutes, I can confidently say that those who chose IIIT Hyderabad CS over IIT Roorkee are doing better now. The IIT tag certainly is helpful but only to a limited extent. The exposure provided by IIIT Hyderabad and its excellent placement opportunities overshadows the much coveted IIT Tag making it a better choice among all institutes. But those looking for stability, facilities, academia, and vast opportunities can go for IIT Roorkee.

Which one is the best, chemical engineering at IIT BHU, civil engineering at IIT Bhubaneswar, or CSE at NIT Rourkela?

GH

It all depends on your interests and future goals. Check the following points before taking a decision:

  • Chemical Engineering: If a student likes Fast calculations, Thermodynamics, Fluid Dynamics, and practical inorganic chemistry.
  • Civil Engineering: If a student likes Maths(calculus), Geometrical drawings, Graphs, Physics(Thermal properties of matter)
  • CSE: If you like programming or are interested in developing your logical skills.

When the choices look upon, you must know that IIT BHU and IIT Bhubaneshwar offer a 100% placement rate while NIT Rourkela has a placement rate of 85%.

The average package of IIT BHU is around 8.19 LPA while IIT Bhubaneshwar is 15.8 LPA and for NIT Rourkela is 8.75 LPA.

Category IIT BHU IIT Bhubaneshwar NIT Rourkela
On-Campus 10 LPA 15 LPA 15.25 LPA
Off-Campus 65 LPA 45 LPA 30.6 LPA

It's not always about the placements rather it's about your interest and abilities to learn and explore a particular field.

If you don't have any idea which branch to opt for, then you can go to the branch in IIT as it would be great to have an IIT tag and to start a career with it.

Which institute is better for CSE, BITS Pilani, IIT Guwahati or IIT BHU?

NT
Nived Tripathi Posted On : March 20th, 2023
Studied at Indian Institute of Technology, Guwahati (IITG)

When it comes to Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) programs, IIIT Hyderabad is undoubtedly one of the best options available. The study environment and coding culture at IIIT Hyderabad are unmatched, making it a great choice for students interested in CSE.

However, if you are looking for a more well-rounded college experience that includes a relaxed and enjoyable campus life, an older IIT may be a better choice for you. While IIIT Hyderabad excels in academics, it may not provide the same level of student life experience as an IIT.

When deciding between colleges, it is important to consider all aspects of the institution, not just academics. For example, BITS Pilani is an excellent college in all aspects, but if you have the option of getting into an older IIT such as IIT Guwahati, it may be a better choice for you.

Similarly, when choosing between BHU and IIT Guwahati, it is advisable to choose IIT Guwahati. While BHU has recently been given the IIT tag, IIT Guwahati is now being compared to older IITs and is even beating some of them in various rankings.

Finally, if you do not get admission into CSE with a rank of 803, Mathematics and Computing (MnC) is always an option. In fact, MnC is a safer option with better placement opportunities at IIT Guwahati. So, you can always consider MnC if you don't get CSE.

What is your opinion about IIT Bhu?

VS
Varun Sharma Posted On : July 16th, 2021
Studied at IIT Kanpur (2019)

Since one of my friends was a student at IIT BHU, he mentioned a few things about the institution. Here I am sharing them to give you a proper understanding of how the college actually is.

  • Firstly, the campus of IIT BHU is open, no IIT entrance gate, having much less security is provided to students.
  • Occasions like DJ night were also canceled once as some students(not from IIT) came and threatened some people here.
  • This IIT does not have its own facilities. No auditorium to hold an orientation session for freshers, no badminton court of its own, and many other things.
  • You will not be given much attention if you are a newbie or not good at that sport. So, in these cases, forget that you'll be able to play as a player in the IIT BHU team.
  • Some of the professors teach well.
  • Lab people ask you to do what has not yet been taught in class.
  • Tutors check the semester exam sheets. Most of them want the exact answer, they don't check your knowledge, they check mugging skills.

These were some of the observed things. Although some of them are left, I think I have mentioned most of them. I don't want someone to have great expectations while joining IIT BHU and then face these things.

Bachelor of Technology in Computer Science and Engineering: What cgpa is required to get the dream companies from iit BHU?

RG
Ritik Ghose Posted On : April 8th, 2022
B.Tech from National Institutes of Technology (2020)

As per the IIT BHU placement trends, big companies like Microsoft and Facebook don’t care much about CGPA. These companies select students based on their coding skills. They have a crisp and straightforward procedure for interviews. If you can pass the coding tests and answer the questions, you will be hired. 

Companies like DE Shaw, Adobe, Arista, etc. give weightage to CGPA. But if you are good at coding, you can get selected, even with a low CGPA. 

So, if your coding skills are on point, you don’t need to worry about placements. 

Rather than placements, CGPA matters more at the time of internships. Many companies don’t shortlist students with lower CGPA. So, try to keep your CGPA above 8.

Which one is better, IIT BHU mechanical vs IIT Mandi, Ropar electrical vs IIT Roorkee civil, considering college life and placements?

AG
Ashish Gupta Posted On : April 14th, 2023
Lives in Roorkee, Uttarakhand, India

Comparing the different IITs and their branches is a complex task, as there are various factors to consider.

Firstly, in terms of college life, both IIT BHU and IIT Mandi have their unique characteristics. IIT BHU has a rich history, with a large and diverse student population, while IIT Mandi is known for its serene location and a close-knit community of students. The campus life of both these institutes is quite active, with various clubs and societies organizing events and activities throughout the year. However, the experience of college life is subjective, and it ultimately depends on an individual's preferences.

Regarding placements, both mechanical and electrical engineering are considered core branches, and hence, have good placement opportunities in their respective fields. IIT BHU has a well-established reputation in the field of mechanical engineering, with several companies recruiting students for internships and full-time roles. Similarly, IIT Mandi has seen significant growth in its electrical engineering department, with several reputed companies such as Microsoft, Amazon, and Texas Instruments recruiting students.

IIT Roorkee is another top-ranked institute, known for its excellent civil engineering department. Civil engineering is also a core branch and has decent placement opportunities in the industry. However, compared to mechanical and electrical engineering, civil engineering is considered to have relatively fewer job opportunities in the private sector. Nonetheless, IIT Roorkee has a good track record of placing students in reputed government organizations such as CPWD, NBCC, and DMRC.

Both IIT BHU Mechanical and IIT Mandi Electrical have excellent placement opportunities and active campus life. However, choosing between the two ultimately depends on an individual's interest and preference. Similarly, while IIT Roorkee Civil has good placement opportunities in the government sector, it may not have as many options in the private sector compared to the other two branches.

Are BHU and IIT BHU the same institute ?

TG
Tejaswani Guha Posted On : June 16th, 2022
B.Sc from Banaras Hindu University

Although BHU and IIT BHU share the same campus, these are not the same. BHU is a central university that consists of many faculties and departments. IIT BHU used to be a part of BHU until it become an IIT. Now, it is an autonomous institute and works independently according to the IIT rules and regulations. BHU authority doesn’t have any authority over the management and decision of IIT BHU. 

But these two institutes share some common campus facilities such as auditorium, badminton-squash court, swimming pool, etc.
