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.

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.

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.
