You can go ahead with the following order to know which among IIT CSE, IIIT Hyderabad CSE, and NIT CSE are better:
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.
All of these three universities offer numerous opportunities for students interested in computer science engineering. IITs are one of the premier institutions in the country for engineering, whereas IIIT Hyderabad was ranked at 6 by Outlook in India 2020 and 43 for its B.Tech course by NIRF in India 2020. NITs are of national importance and many NITs offer great CSE programs.
