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.

Particulars	IIT Hyderabad	BITS Pilani	New IITs (Tirupati)
Entrance exam	JEE Advanced	BITSAT	JEE Advanced
Closing cutoff	616	383	3551
Grand total fees	8.7 lacs	15.7 lacs	3 lacs
Highest placement offer	60 LPA	44 LPA	25 LPA
Average placement offer	22 LPA	15 LPA	9.5 LPA

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.
