Which one is better for the MTech: fluid and energy system in IIT Hyderabad or thermal in NIT Trichy?

The better institute for MTech out of IIT Hyderabad and NIT Trichy depends on what you want to do after MTech.

For those inclined towards research work and are willing to go for higher education like Ph.D. from a foreign university, IIT Hyderabad is the most suitable option. This is because it is a new IIT and thus has the best research and lab facilities in comparison to older IITs and NITs. The MTech program here will bring about a drastic change in your overall personality.

For those who want to get employed as soon as possible, then NIT Trichy is a preferable choice. This is because

• The sole purpose of students coming here is to get placed with lucrative packages
• The initial days witness top firms after which only average companies pay a visit to the campus
• The placement percentage is almost 100% every year
• The teachers do it encourage research culture at all.

This does not mean that IIT Hyderabad does not have placement opportunities. It’s just that for placements specifically, NIT is better but overall IIT Hyderabad is the best option.
