Which is better, IIT Hyderabad CSE or IIT Madras EE?
This question can only have a subjective answer. I have myself done my B.Tech EE from IIT Madras, but I would recommend you consider several factors before arriving at a decision-
Your subject of interest matters a lot, even more than your college. Make sure to select the branch that interests you. Take a good look at the curriculum and course offerings of both these options, and find out which of them aligns with your career/academic goals. Also consider the specialization opportunities offered by each option.
Look at the research interests and projects undertaken by faculty members of each program. Realize whose interests align with you the most. Getting into research work at UG level will only be beneficial for you. Take a visit to both the institutes or consult some seniors to find out which one offers better infrastructure, campus life and other facilities.
Personally speaking, I’ve had an excellent experience at the Electrical department of IIT Madras. So, if you don’t have a particular interest in CS, you may very well consider EE at IITM.

IIT Hyderabad CSE will be a better choice. CSE graduates from IITH received great placements with cushy salary packages. If you don’t have an inclination towards any specific branch, go for CSE.
During 2022 placements, IIT Hyderabad CSE average package was INR 17.54 LPA. While the highest CTC stood around INR 46 LPA.

Most students who decide to take a particular branch do not end up doing a job that is related to that branch’s core course. Almost everyone is of the opinion that branch over college.
- Suppose you are not that interested in a specific field, you can think of going for Computer Science Engineering.
- In this branch, you will get good placements and a decent job as well.
- However, it is possible that you will wind up with a multinational company doing a 9 to 5 job or if you are lucky, a startup.
- In another case, if you are not thinking of bagging high packages and want to enjoy good college life, you can think of going to IIT Madras.
- The college has some decent placements as well as good packages to get you by.
- The campus is also really great and you will get to do some co-curricular activities too which is probably not the case with IIT Hyderabad.

IIT Hyderabad is just a cluster of 5 different buildings with empty land around it. Since your question had a general air around it, the answer offers different things you can pursue if you do not have a specific interest.
