B.Tech from IIIT Delhi

If you're getting IIIT H for coding, then you're definitely going to face some heavy competition although it should be your choice because of its expertise. NIRF has ranked it #43 and IIIT Delhi ranks #58, whereas IIT Mandi ranks #31 the same. Their coding culture is evolving and it can be estimated that their ICPC and GSoC are going to improve a lot in the upcoming times. 

Here are some facts for you-

  • IIIT Delhi was established a year before IIT Mandi. It is basically CSE-centered, with marked attention to it. IIT Mandi, on the other hand, has a lot of varied branches and so the coding culture is a bit more advanced at IIIT Delhi.
  • The IIT tag is much sought after, however, being from IIIT is not a bad deal either. At IIIT D a lot of big names like Google, Amazon, Goldman Sachs, Microsoft, and Accenture come for recruitments, although your overall performance will decide your placement. 
  • The campus at IIIT D is quite beautiful and doesn't lack anything. It has hostels, recreation centers, dining facilities, a library, and an information center. The second phase of construction is ongoing as well.

How much GPA should I get in the first semester to get a branch change to CSE from mechanical in IIT Mandi? How about for the ST category?

SS
Savi Sharma Posted On : June 30th, 2023

The branch change policy of IIT Mandi is based on the CGPA you scored in the first and second semester examinations. 

There is nothing to do with caste in the selection process for branch change policies. Make sure you have scored a minimum of 8.5 CGPA in both semesters. 

The competition level is increasing every year as most students wish to switch to the CSE branch since it opens a wide array of opportunities. The branch change would be easier for you if you strived hard and consistently followed a daily study routine.

IIT Mandi is a much better option than others. They offer effective classes along with commendable campus life and atmosphere. If you are intensely interested in the Electrical branch, then you can surely opt for it.

IIT Ropar is also good enough for you, as they offer power-packed classes conducted by experienced and renowned scholars. Out of the three institutes, IIT Mandi would be an elite pick.
