It all depends on your interest and future goals. If you want a career in the technical field, choose Data Science M.Tech from IIT Hyderabad. If you want to work in the management sector then doing Big Data Analytics certification from IIM Bangalore will be better. If you are interested in Big Data and want a technical career in the field, look for a technical institute. IIMs will not offer hands-on technical training in the field, it will rather cover the managerial aspect of it.

Yes, your daughter has definitely done a good job by choosing IIIT Hyderabad CS instead of IIT Roorkee Electrical. Here are a few reasons why

  • The placements for the CS branch are always better than Electrical branch no matter which institute
  • Someone who isn’t sure of their interests yet can go for CS as it has a wider scope
  • The placements at IIIT Hyderabad CSE branch are excellent with a 100% placement percentage. This year the highest CTC was recorded at INR 74 LPA while the average package stood at INR 32 LPA.
  • Moreover, IIIT Hyderabad offers an excellent environment conducive to learning and inculcating coding skills.
  • Top IT companies like Apple, Facebook, and Google visit the campus during placements and offer excellent packages 
  • Having only 2 branches, IIIT Hyderabad has an environment that focuses solely on info technology thus enhancing the overall learning experience.

I personally think your daughter has made a wise decision, unlike the sheep mentality that people have who go blindly for IITs just for the tag.

Both the Electrical and Electronics Engineering (EEE) program at IT Hyderabad and the Mechanical Engineering program at IIT Madras are highly esteemed and have strengths and weaknesses. Eventually, it depends on your interests and career goals.

You should go for IIT Hyderabad, EEE if

  • You have a passion for electrical and electronic systems, 
  • You want to enter the IT sector with your priority being a high-paying job. This is because IIT Hyderabad has a relatively flexible curriculum and allows you to opt for some CSE electives.

You should go for IIT Madras Mechanical if

  • You are inclined toward Mechanical systems
  • You have zero interest in coding/programming
  • You want to do MBA, IAS, or other higher studies in foreign universities 
  • You want to experience a more dynamic and lively campus life 

It's important to research both programs and contact the current batch of seniors to get a  better understanding of the curriculum and career opportunities.

If you are interested in academics and want to pursue research after completing M.Sc, NIT Rourkela is the best option among these. The institute offers good resources and facilities to carry out research interests. You can explore and learn. 

If you don’t want to do a PhD after completing M.Sc, choose one of the IITs. The IIT tag will help get good placement opportunities.

Out of all the institutes you mentioned, IIIT Hyderabad steals the limelight owing to its excellent CS branch. Here are a few reasons why I consider IIIT Hyderabad better than IIT Roorkee, BITS Pilani, and IIT BHU.

  • Located in the IT hub of India, IIIT Hyderabad attracts all the IT giants of the country 
  • It gives an edge to older IITs because of its prime location and close ties with the industry
  • Excellent exposure is provided to the students at IIIT Hyderabad in the form of hackathons, workshops, seminars, and much more. 
  • Students benefit a lot from the frequent collaborations of IIT H with IIIT H.
  • IIT Hyderabad has a unique Fractal Academic System, and its curriculum is improvised to suit industry requirements and research trends. 
  • IIIT Hyderabad students are taught subjects related to their domain right from the first year, unlike IITs that teach common fundamental courses in the first year.
  • Regular evaluations keep your academic performance in check 

Additionally, what may be the "best" institution for one person may not be the best for another. So it’s better to follow where your heart goes.

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.

  • The maximum number of students hired was from the CSE batch. The hiring companies were Adobe, Amazon, Microsoft, Airtel, Nvidia, Qualcomm.

  • 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.
