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.

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. 

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.
