If you are planning to pursue M.Tech in Computer Science, it is highly recommended that you consider IIT Hyderabad over IIT Guwahati. Some of the reasons are given below:

  • The data provided by the institute indicates that almost all students from the Computer Science department at IIT Hyderabad get placed in the first phase of placements, which is exclusive to the CSE branch. This is a significant advantage over IIT Guwahati.
  • Many students from other colleges also get placed in the Computer Science department at IIT Hyderabad, but most of them will be in IT firms. On the other hand, placements in IT firms at IIT Hyderabad will be nearly zero. Instead, most students will be placed in big companies such as Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan, and the Artificial Intelligence sector, among others. 
  • The coding culture at IIT Hyderabad is one of the best among all IITs, with regular exposure to high-level coding competitions.
  • IIT Hyderabad's location is a significant advantage, as Hyderabad is a hub for many new companies, making it easy for HR to recruit from the institute.

In summary, it is highly recommended that you consider IIT Hyderabad for your M.Tech in Computer Science Engineering as it would offer you the best opportunities for your future career.
