Which one is better: IIT Tirupati or IIT Bhilai?

Raunak Srivastav

26 Mar 21

Most of the newly constructed IITs suffer from the same problems compared to the old ones. They include lack of infrastructure, unchartered territory, etc. If you have to choose, go by branch and not by the IIT brand name. You can opt for other colleges like BITS Pilani, NIT Trichy/Warangal as they will provide much better opportunities, considering placements.

Categories	IIT Tirupati	IIT Bhilai
Course Fee	8.27 lakh	10.13 lakh
Placement Percentage	60%	90%
Highest CTC	11 LPA	19 LPA
Average CTC	5 LPA	10 LPA
Recruiting Companies	Tesco, Factset, Bosch, Futures First, L&T, etc.	Amazon, L&T, UIDAI, OYO, RadiSys, GSTN, Atonarp, Xenia, etc.

If you want to study CSE among these two top colleges, it won't require comparison. Both are doing well and have equally good placements, average packages, and campus life. So, for other branches, IIT Bhilai will be a good choice because practicals and research work are better at IIT Bhilai.

Which is best CSE in vasavi college of engineering or chemical engineering in IIT TIRUPATHI?

Damini Chowdhury

24 Aug 21

Both CSE in Vasavi engineering college and chemical engineering in IIT Tirupati are very good courses to pursue, but these both streams are very different from each other and have different applications.

Looking at the placement opportunities between the two branches, CSE at Vasavi Engineering College will be a better choice as this branch has a better scope and job opportunities. A lot of companies visit the college for interviews. Here are the recent placement highlights for Vasavi.

Placement Average	77%
Highest CTC	21 LPA
Top recruiters	TCS, Infosys, Cognizent

But if you are aiming for an IT job by coding and want to de research later then choosing IIT Tirupathi is better. It will give you better facilities and peers.

What should I choose for electrical engineering, IIT Jodhpur or IIT Tirupati?

Gargi Banerjee

17 Jun 21

Both IIT Jodhpur and IIT Tirupati are reputed institutes. However, IIT Jodhpur is a second-generation IIT whereas IIT Tirupati is a third-generation IIT and has a long way to go to be at par with IIT Jodhpur.

Based on what I heard from my friends at IIT Jodhpur, I can say it has a terrific campus. It is the first fully planned technical campus with unique Incubation and Technology Park. IIT Jodhpur is making good advances in its placement and research work. Students at the institute get placed in core and non-core companies. Many alumni of the institute are also pursuing their studies in foreign universities.

Here are some recent statistics regarding the two institutes.

Institute	IIT Jodhpur	IIT Tirupati
Average CTC	16.73 LPA	11 LPA
Top recruiters	Microsoft, Morgan Stanley, Amazon, Goldman Sachs, etc.	TCS, Fincare, TESCO, MathWorks, etc.

If you have to choose between two IITs that are not old, it’s wise to choose the campus which is more developed and older. Outline your evaluation by comparing the faculty and research activities of both the IITs. Refer to your seniors there and friends to gain better knowledge. Hope this helps you in making a decision.
