IIT Delhi Mtech Computer Technology vs IIT Hyderabad Mtech CSE. Which is better for placements in product based software companies?
Both IIT Delhi MTech Computer Technology and IIT Hyderabad Mtech CSE are excellent engineering programs. However, my personal suggestion is IIT Delhi Ctech. Here’s why
- IIT Delhi offers the best opportunities considering its rank in the top 3 IITs
- IIT Delhi holds the Institute of Eminence Status
- The brand value of IIT Delhi is much higher than the new IIT Hyderabad.
- IIT Delhi being old has a very beautiful campus with great natural beauty. IIT Hyderabad on the other hand has a newly established campu that is still under construction.
- A few major companies don’t visit new IITs like IIT Hyderabad. IIT Delhi, on the other hand, is visited by top IT companies like Amazon, Flipkart, Microsoft, Ola, Uber, Tower Research, Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan Chase, Intel, Qualcomm, Samsung, etc
The only disadvantage you might face at IIT Delhi Is the intense competition with CS students as they are all top rankers.
I don’t mean to demean IIT Hyderabad but it’s a fact that the opportunities and exposure that IIT Delhi will offer cannot be compared to IIT Hyderabad.

Does an engineering physics graduate from IIT Delhi get high packages?
Engineering Physics is one of the most intriguing research-oriented branches of IIT Delhi. Students of this branch get the excellent opportunity to work in top research centers like ISRO, Bhabha Atomic Research Centre. Eminent scientists and professors testify to the branch's credibility so need not worry about placements.
However, this branch is highly challenging and should be opted for only if you are serious about making a career out of it. The curriculum is challenging with high-level mathematics.
Students from most branches end up working in MNCs and leave soon because they are not satisfied. However, the Engineering Physics branch provides excellent job prospects. I know someone who chooses this branch over CS and Electrical despite his AIR being 10.
This branch requires serious commitment and one has to be truly devoted to the field. The faculty is not that good in comparison to other branches and this might make you suffer initially, but once you start understanding the practical concepts, it will become one of the most interesting courses you have ever come across.
How is an MTech in civil engineering at IIT, Dhanbad?
IIT(ISM) Dhanbad has two branches in the Civil Engineering department namely Structural Engineering and Environmental Science and Engineering.
Structural Engineering has learned and experienced faculty but the infrastructure and lab facilities are still lacking. A few core companies like L&T come for recruitment drives. The workload is considered less so you will get ample amount of time for preparation for UPSC.
M.Tech in Environmental Science and Engineering is one of the oldest branches which is the Centre of Mining Environment. There are many highly qualified professors in this discipline with well-equipped laboratories certified by ISO. The department has more than 90 Research and Development projects and more than 250 consultancy.

Which is better at IIT Delhi, electrical engineering or mathematics and computing?
Both the branches, Electrical and MnC have great scope in terms of employment in both core and non-core jobs. However, most high-paying jobs are given to CS students with the Electrical students securing average packages only. Here is when MnC comes to your rescue. It provides opportunities for CS jobs as well as Finance and Analytics, both being highly paid and demanded sectors. The branch attracts huge companies like Goldman Sachs.
Anyone with a deep interest in Mathematical concepts and theoretical concepts will find this program very intriguing. The curriculum comprises core math topics like discrete mathematics, combinatorics, algebra, and statistics as well as some CS topics. Electrical on the other hand, has topics like power electronics and electronic circuits which focus on practical implementation rather than theoretical concepts.
Department-wise, Electrical is better because of the quality of the faculty pool it has. MnC constantly faces issues related to the quality of teaching and faculty. The faculty in the Maths department is excellent but when it comes to teaching CS electives, it does not impart knowledge better than core CS professors.
How is computer science taught in IIT Delhi?
Computer Science is taught at IIT Delhi through the Department of Computer Science and Engineering (CSE). The department offers undergraduate, postgraduate, and doctoral programs in Computer Science and Engineering. Some key highlights of the course are listed below:
- The entire exam and grading depend on the concerned professor. He is the one to decide how the 100 marks will be awarded and what marks your assistance theoretical papers will carry.
- One is expected to learn programming languages on their own through the coding assignment
- Functional language is well taught by some extremely learned professors and their lectures are very interesting
- Some of the most eminent professors who conduct lively classes are Parag Singla in Machine Learning, Mausam in Artificial Intelligence, and Vinay Rebeiro in Networks. Naveen Garg in Data Structures and Algorithms.
- Usually, most of the lectures in this course are very interesting and cover most topics.
- Assignments are given due importance and carry enough marks to evaluate your understanding of the subject and its implementation in real life. One is expected to complete their assignments on their own or work in groups.
- Most programming courses have no theoretical or practical exam and evaluation of them is done solely based on assignments.
- The lectures of most professors are available on NPTEL
Like every other course, this course too has some exceptionally lazy professors who are least interested in teaching. But they are only a few in comparison to other professors.
