I don't know about the semester but for btech students, it is in the final year i.e. the fourth year and for dual degree students it is in the 5th year. Many companies come including Qualcomm, Apple, Microsoft, Google, etc. almost 100% of students get placed.
You should have 60% in the 12th board (PCM). The application form can be found at the official website of IIIT i.e. iiit.ac.in. There are no reservations for this course only based on merit. No, the overall process is quite smooth, there are multiple modes of admission, so don't worry just study decently and you will be able to get in here.
Read Full ReviewFor a single degree, students in 4th year are eligible for campus placements, and dual degree students can sit in their 5th year. The campus placements are 100% till now and the package details can be found on the official website of the college. The average package can vary around 15 to 20 LPA and the highest package is more than 50 LPA(excluding the off-campus data). I will suggest seeing the data from the official website of the college Companies visited are Microsoft, Google, Samsung, Texas Instruments, and more than 30 bigger companies (or even more). I would like to sit for placements and get my dream job.
For admission in IIIT-Hyderabad, there are various modes of admission like JEE, UGEE, SPEC, DASA, and Olympiad. I am from SPEC mode and if you are applying in 2023 then you should have passed 12th class or equivalent with Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics and belong to one of the following categories: Qualified for the UDAAN scheme of CBSE for girls. Studied at Jawahar NAvodaya VIdayalaya(JNV) from class 6 to 12. You are currently enrolled in the 4th semester of an integrated, six-year, 12th+B.Tech program (after the 10th class). For more details and updates on the application form and other details, you can visit this website: https://ugadmissions.iiit.ac.in/spec2023 Applicants need to appear for a computer-based one-hour entrance test called the SPEC exam. The exam centres are given on the website you can check them out from there. Shortlisted candidates from this exam will have to clear an interview to gain admission.

International Institute of Information Technology - [IIIT]: 69 answered questions
One of my friends attended IIIT Hyderabad. Following are some of the things that used to bother him.
- While on campus you will be completely absorbed in academic work. Students are usually always stressed about some assignment submission or meeting a deadline, at IIIT H.
- There are very few extracurricular activities, in which you can take part.
- Due to lack of funding, the college fest isn’t that great. Also, very few students participate in the fest.
- Teaching Assistants are not very cooperative.
Also, most people don’t know much about IIITs. So, you may have a hard time explaining the brand value of the institute.
Comparing IIIT Hyderabad and BITS Pilani cannot be done in terms of with as both are reputed institutes. However, they can be compared on the basis of individual parameters.
For instance
- Campus: BITS
- Placements: IIIT Hyderabad
- Coding: IIIT Hyderabad
Now it’s up to you to decide which factor will affect you the most. In my opinion choosing IIIT Hyderabad over BITS Pilani is a no-brainer as IIIT Delhi is the best when it comes to CSE. Its curriculum is designed exceptionally well. Apart from this, it fairs well in terms of modern technology, infrastructure, faculties, placements, and greater opportunities for higher studies and research. The only institutes that give IIIT Hyderabad an edge are IIT Bombay and IISc Bangalore. You are bound to gain a lot of fun experience and knowledge at IIIT Hyderabad and won’t regret joining it ever.
However, this definitely does not mean BITS Pilani is not any good. It’s just that the outcomes offered by both institutes are different. If you want to go for MBA or Government Services in the future, BITS Pilani is a good choice as it offers a wider range of opportunities in contrast to CSE at IIIT Hyderabad which is suitable only if you want to stay in this field till the end.
It may not be a good idea to attend IIIT Hyderabad's artificial intelligence and machine learning certification program. A friend of mine enrolled in this program. According to him, very few classes are taken by IIIT Hyderabad professors.
The teaching methodology used is old school. If you ask a doubt, you will be given a rhetorical answer most of the time.
There are teaching assistants who are responsible for taking daily tests and lab sessions. But most of them, don’t have much idea about the subject matter. You can get many good PGP courses online in the same fee range.
Over the past few years, the Earth has become a global village and technology has been developing at a fast pace. Software Engineers are among the most demanded professionals. That being said, IIITs are slowly and increasingly becoming more preferred than IITs because their curriculum revolves around CS precisely. Their curriculum is highly industry-relevant meeting all demands of the branch.
Now one might ask, why aren’t IITs as successful as IIITs in terms of CS? Well, the major reason is that IITs have a variety of departments not making it possible for the students to focus on one branch. You will see someone from another department like Chemical or Civil competing for a job in the CS or IT sector.
IIITs on the other hand have only 2 departments, CA and IT. The curriculum is crisp and focuses on these two branches only. You don’t have to sacrifice your branch here and can pursue your passion in CS and IT only. Today IIIts CS curriculum gives a considerable edge to IIT Bombay’s CS branch. This is why, IIIT Hyderabad is preferred over IITs today.
Any institute’s reputation is built by its alumni. IIITs are established later compared to all major technological institutes in the country. This is perhaps the major reason why IIITs are underrated. IIIT Allahabad and IIIT Hyderabad are around 20+ years old. In spite of being comparably new, IIIT Allahabad is constantly ranked among the top technological institute in the country for IT.
The admission criteria for IIIT Hyderabad through JEE Main exam is based on multiple factors, such as the difficulty level of the exam, the number of applicants, the availability of seats, etc.
However, to get admission to IIIT Hyderabad, candidates need to clear the JEE Main exam and secure a good rank in it. Generally, the cutoff for IIIT Hyderabad through JEE Main is relatively high. For the year 2021, the cutoff for admission to IIIT Hyderabad through JEE Main for Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) was 1064.
It is important to note that the cutoff varies every year depending on various factors. Hence, it is recommended to aim for a higher score in JEE Main to increase your chances of getting admission to IIIT Hyderabad.
Although IIIT Hyderabad has many excellent professors. But there is one professor, who is a pure gem. He can actually change the way you look at and solve Mathematics. He is none other than Dr. Kannan Srinathan. His ever-smiling face and his ability to simplify even the most complicated concepts in a much simpler way will surely make you fall in love with Discrete Mathematics, the course he mastered in.
Yegnanarayana is also quite popular among students. He teaches Speech Signal Processing and Artificial Neural Networks. He prepares for his lectures for 2 hours, although he has been teaching for 40 years.
My brother is a student of MSIT at IIIT-H and the following points are his experience at the institute:
- This course is beneficial for people who already have an academic gap in their education. It is not advisable to enroll in this course if you have an IT background in your bachelor's degree; the same curriculum will be repeated with a shorter duration.
- It is best not to attempt this course if you are already employed. It's better to put your efforts towards getting experience in that company.
- During the first phase of placements, you may have the opportunity to work for top IT companies such as Amazon, Salesforce, American Express, Apogee, and others.
- If you are unable to break into those, you will eventually enter service-based companies.
- The highest package received by the students is 85 LPA while the average salary is 25 LPA during its recent placement package.
Hope you find this helpful.
IIIT Hyderabad offers an excellent CSE program. It is comparable to IIT Bombay/IIT Delhi’s CSE program. It has a great coding culture. Due to the locational advantage, it’s easier to get projects, internships, and placement opportunities. The college stands out with a 100% placement rate for CSE. Apple, Google, Microsft, Pocket Gems, etc. recruits from the campus drive.
After reading some reviews online, I can say that, if you want to be a data scientist, ISI Kolkata would be a good choice. In fact, it is said to be the top college for aspiring data scientists. This would definitely open up a lot of opportunities.
| Categories | M.Tech CS at BITS Pilani | M.Tech CS at IIIT H | M.Tech CS at ISI Kolkata |
| Course Fee | 8.92 lakh | 5.60 lakh | 40,000 |
| Highest CTC | 16 LPA | 19 LPA | 12-14 LPA |
| Average CTC | 9 LPA | 8-10 LPA | 6 PA |
| Recruiting Companies | Wipro, CTS, etc. | Infosys, Capgemini, etc. | TCS, IBM, etc. |
However, if you want to be a developer, the ISI M.Tech CS program falls short of IIIT-H and BITS Pilani CSE. I believe IIIT-H and BITS Pilani offers similar opportunities for software developer positions.
