Bachelor of Technology [B.Tech] (Computer Science and Engineering) From IIIT Hyderabad, Hyderabad

Comparing IIIT Hyderabad and BITS Pilani cannot be done in terms of with as both are reputed institutes. However, they can be compared on the basis of individual parameters.

For instance 

• Campus: BITS
• Placements: IIIT Hyderabad 
• Coding: IIIT Hyderabad

Now it’s up to you to decide which factor will affect you the most. In my opinion choosing IIIT Hyderabad over BITS Pilani is a no-brainer as IIIT Delhi is the best when it comes to CSE. Its curriculum is designed exceptionally well. Apart from this, it fairs well in terms of modern technology, infrastructure, faculties, placements, and greater opportunities for higher studies and research. The only institutes that give IIIT Hyderabad an edge are IIT Bombay and IISc Bangalore. You are bound to gain a lot of fun experience and knowledge at IIIT Hyderabad and won’t regret joining it ever.

However, this definitely does not mean BITS Pilani is not any good. It’s just that the outcomes offered by both institutes are different. If you want to go for MBA or Government Services in the future, BITS Pilani is a good choice as it offers a wider range of opportunities in contrast to CSE at IIIT Hyderabad which is suitable only if you want to stay in this field till the end.

 If you're keen on the IIT tag, consider going for IIT Mandi. Despite being new, it's still an "IIT". Passing out from IIT itself labels you as one of the top brains in the country, making you a "BRAND" no matter how old or new the IIT is. Don't be swayed by current reviews about the new IITs; conditions will likely be much better by the time you graduate. After all, there was a time when IIT-B, IIT-D, and IIT-KGP were new.

While it's true that IIIT-H holds more value in the industry, personal satisfaction is important as well. If the IIT tag gives you this satisfaction, then without a doubt, join IIT.

On the other hand, if the market value of your institute is what gives you satisfaction, then consider joining IIIT.

Both IIT Madras and IIIT Hyderabad are considered prestigious especially when it comes to CS as both offer excellent education and opportunities in the same. Some pointers that might help you decide are

• The coursework for CS at most IITs focuses more on semester exams than exams which are not justified for the CS branch which requires a lot of assignments and a research-oriented approach. IIT Madras will just give you an IIT tag that might help you in the future.
• I think IIIT Hyderabad has a much better curriculum for CSE that combines both theoretical knowledge and practical implementation. The students at IIIT Hyderabad can be seen building software or implementing research papers as part of the project.
• Additionally, they are busy completing assignments that provide a practical approach to their knowledge. These projects and assignments are very crucial for a CS student and by the end of the program, you will have many projects and papers up your sleeve to add to your resume.

As far as placements are concerned, both institutes get a fair share of companies offering good packages.

CSE department of both IIT Kharagpur and IIT Hyderabad is top notch offering the best coursework and coding culture.

But here’s the thing about CSE, it consists only of coding. In case you later find out that you are not really interested in it, joining IIT Hyderabad might prove to be a wrong decision. On the other hand, IIT KGP has many branches to choose from and also has noncore companies for Finance companies visiting the campus. One can pursue their area of interest and does not have to stick to the branch he chose.

Another reason why people prefer IIT Kharagpur over IIT Hyderabad is the better peer group in terms of JEE Rank. This is because IIT KGP has a cutoff lower than IITH thus inviting only the best.

Thus, IIT KGP has a slight advantage over IITH as far as alumni network, peer quality, and variety of branches are concerned. IITH is a good option only if you are confident that you are interested in nothing but coding. Else IIT Kharagpur is always the better choice.

You can go ahead with the following order to know which among IIT CSE, IIIT Hyderabad CSE, and NIT CSE are better:

• IIT B
• IIT D
• IIT M
• IIT K
• IIT KGP
• IIT R CSE
• BITS Pilani - Pilani Campus CSE
• IIT H
• IIT G
• IIT BHU CSE
• IIIT Hyderabad CSE
• BITS Pilani - Goa, Hyderabad Campus CSE
• NIT CSE

However, it's important to note that IIIT H has the best Computer Science Department and one of the best coding environments in the country. If you're genuinely interested in coding and related stuff, you should definitely consider IIIT H without any second thoughts.

The above-formulated list is based on brand name, alumni network, campus life, academic workload, and more importantly, the priority order that many students actually follow. When you've worked so hard for two years, you will always have that inner voice driving you toward choosing IITs. After all, everyone wants to enjoy the perks of being an IITian.

So, follow your interests and make a decision that you won't regret. Keep in mind that all of these options are amazing and you have a great opportunity ahead of you.

You should choose IIT Bombay for CSE. IIT tag is more reputed in the industry. You will get better placement and career opportunities from IIT Bombay. 

• IIT Bombay is backed up by huge funds for research. You will have the freedom to explore any field you are interested in. Tech teams at this institute get good funding for thot projects.
• Compared to Hyderabad, Mumbai offers much more opportunities, be it core or non-core. 
• The CSE faculty of IITB is the best in the country. 
• IITB tag is renowned all across the world. It will help you get accepted into foreign universities. It also has semester exchange programs with top universities around the world. 
• IIT Bombay CSE average CTC stays around INR 15-18 LPA. 

IIIT Hyderabad has a better coding culture compared to IIT Bombay. Students start competitive coding from the very first month of their graduation. If your passion is coding, choose IIIT Hyderabad. 

When it comes to comparing institutions, rankings and comparisons can be found in various sources, but it's important to be unbiased in your analysis. While I cannot provide a clear answer on which institution is better, I can share my beliefs based on my experiences.

If you're considering IIIT-H, you should know that they offer courses in Computer Science and Electronics only, with Computer Science being their forte. Here's what makes IIIT-H's CS education stand out:

• Refined Curriculum: IIIT-H focuses on CS fundamentals from the very first year, and the base courses are stressed more than the others. This helps students establish a strong foundation, which allows them to focus on advanced topics in later years.

• Culture: IIIT-H has a culture of producing great programmers year after year. For instance, a team from IIIT-H qualifies for the ACM ICPC World Finals almost every year. When these programmers are your teaching assistants, lab tutors, or neighbors (IIIT is a small community with around 200 students per year), their success and mindset rub off on you, and you learn how to study and succeed. This is a unique attribute of IIIT-H that sets it apart from other institutions.

In terms of placements, IIIT-H, and IITs are more or less similar. In fact, CS graduates from IITs are also poached by banks and consulting firms due to their strong mathematics and quantitative analysis backgrounds. Faculty members are equally good at both places.

Unlike IIIT-H, IITs offer specializations in various engineering fields, such as Civil and Mechanical engineering. While these fields may be less appealing currently due to their reduced demand in the job market, they are still essential components of the engineering industry. Therefore, it's unfair to say that IIIT-H has grown beyond any IIT in its entirety. But as far as Computer Science is concerned, IIIT-H has carved out its own niche and excels in this field.
