NIRF has ranked IIT Hyderabad at 8 for Engineering. BITS Pilani has been ranked 30 by NIRF 2020. A BTech in CSE is one of the most demanded courses in the industry. IIT Hyderabad, BITS Pilani, and new IITs all provide the course with an edge. But some factors discussed below will help us to analyze whether to choose IIT Hyderabad, BITS Pilani, or new IITs.

• IIT Hyderabad is one of the oldest colleges in India. It makes an incredibly competitive place, the level and quality of competition is much higher. The overall quality crowd is seen in III Hyderabad and BITS Pilani.

• BITS ensures a no attendance policy that helps students to pay attention to their startups. IITs do not have such a policy but the old IITs do give some relaxation.

• The students of BITS are certain of internship at the end of the second and fourth years as the opportunities are extremely high. IIT Hyderabad and new IITs also have internships but there is no certainty.

Here are some of the key information about these institutes.

Placements:

IIT Hyderabad:

• 66 students from the computer science engineering department from IIT Hyderabad have been placed with an offer.

• The maximum number of students hired was from the CSE batch. The hiring companies were Adobe, Amazon, Microsoft, Airtel, Nvidia, Qualcomm.

BITS Pilani:

• 82% of students were placed with an offer at BITS Pilani in the engineering field.

• 100% of students were placed in the CSE branch.

• The highest average placement was under the discipline of BTech in CSE of the amount 22 LPA.

• The top recruiters were Barclays, IBM, Facebook, Capgemini, Aditya Birla Corp, etc.

IIT Tirupati:
Various new IITs have been opened. One of them is IIT Tirupati.

• A maximum placement was observed in the CSE branch.

• The average package in CSE was 12 LPA. The recruitment companies were Bosch, TCS, Fincare, Honeywell, etc.

All of the mentioned institutions are good, however, the decision rests upon the students and their preferences. BITS Pilani might have a huge grand total fee comparatively but the quality and opportunity are tremendous. IIT Hyderabad being an old Institute attracts the crowd. New IITs need to work harder to come at that level.

Below given are a few pointers which will help you determine the better choice.

• Civil Engineering Cut off in BITS Pilani is 269 which is to be scored in their BITSAT admission test. On the other hand, IIT Bhubaneswar’s cut off is 6546-13803 in JEE Main
• BITS Pilani is a popular institution and can be compared with IIT Bombay, Delhi or Kanpur but IIT Bhubaneswar which falls under the category of newer IITs is not as popular as BITS Pilani.
• Being a private institute, BITS Pilani has a higher course fee that is around 16 lakh. Whereas IIT Bhubaneswar is a Govt. institute and the course fee is much lesser than BITS Pilani, 8 lakhs(approx.).
• BITS Pilani provides an average placement package of 12 lakhs for a civil engineer but a graduate of IIT Bhubaneswar of the same stream gets an average package of 10 lakhs.
• The Engineering department of BITS Pilani ranks 4 by India Today, 5 in Outlook India, and 7 in The Week. The Engineering Department of IIT Bhubaneswar ranks 9 by India Today, 24 in Outlook, and 15 in The Week.
• BITS Pilani will be a better choice to study core engineering than in IIT Bhubaneswar due to the former's popularity among recruiters.

A University should be chosen according to the students admission test scores, JEE rank, and also financial situation.

Yes, it was confusing once, two years ago and now I can happily confess that I do not regret choosing IIT Gandhinagar over BITS-Pilani. Since I also have friends in both the colleges, I can provide a detailed overview of the good and bad aspects of the colleges.

Also, information on BITS might be limited due to it will depend mostly on other people’s experiences, but the answer will talk about the good and bad side of Mechanical Engineering at IIT Gandhinagar. 

Following are the merits of IIT Gandhinagar:

1. Limited batch- The class consists of 30 students. This makes the interaction simple and competition healthy. The classes are interesting and interactive. And BITS here, has a classroom filled with 100 students. 
2. Friendly professors- All the professors are cooperative. They will always be present to help you. 
3. Constant branch parties/meetings- The Mechanical Branch will always witness regular meetings wherein the latest course will be the topic of discussion and how things can be done to modify it and gather suggestions accordingly. These meetings include Mechanical Engineering students (no freshers) and professors. 
4. New course- In case 10 others from your branch decide to go for an entirely new course which isn't taught in the department- you can always consult the professors and if they can teach that, your will certainly be granted. 
5. Lab facilities- Your lab experiences would be such that you'd work under time-limits. Objectives that will be given to you would have to be completed under a time-limit present along with it. 
6. Inter-disciplinary ideas- Unlike the rest of the colleges, IIT Gandhinagar has neighbours who are from a background of MSE and CSE. While sharing ideas, you get to learn much more than you can imagine.

One thing that students could miss at IIT Gandhinagar is the cultural fests and events. They don't have grand cultural fests of their own. This privilege was taken away by the seniors, which we were trying to rectify. But gratefully, we already have enough, so, that doesn't make us expect too much of these grand fests for ourselves.
