IIIT - Hyderebad (CSE) vs IIT Kanpur (CS)

[KDroid]

May I ask for strong reasons?

IIIT-H has a brand in
CS which can not be compared with that in
IIT-B,IIT-D or IIT-K, but is comparable to
the others(REE/Kgp/Guwahati) and might be
better than them in many cases.

 

[krishnandu.sarkar]

Well, IIT is most well known. And as you said in your very first post. IIT has a more brand name than IIIT or something else.

 

[skeletor]

what the feck is "brand name"?

 

[gagan007]

that's what I am trying to find. and even if they have a "name" it is not built by paying PR agents with huge sums of money. people know IIT and want to get into IIT because of the facilities they get in IITs because of the teachers there and because the culture that is promoted in IITs.

what the feck is "brand name"?

I mean like, students passed from IIT's or IIM's have diff type of value and peoples look at them with diff views than normal(general) ones.

I don't think anyone should go into a college because of "brand name". The main purpose of college is education and secondary purpose is job. Who cares how people look at them.

IIIT-H is the best college for CS IMO. You will need to get a rank within 2k in AIEEE.

For other streams, IIT is totally unmatched. But for CSE, IIIT-H is proving to be a better contender.

 

[nims11]

just curious, why has IIIT-H put so back(in 20s) in the engg colleges rankings?

 

[gagan007]

college rankings (if you are referring to study conducted by India Today) are done on criterion like facilities available in colleges, the teacher-pupil ratio, experience of teachers, placements etc. IIIT-H is just 12 years old, I mean very new as compared to other colleges in that list so it has to go a little longer to prove itself in few areas. Don't ask me what those areas are, please get in touch with India Today

 

[KDroid]

you are very lucky you got selected but still you wont take seat in IIT
:shocked:

Who? I have not even appeared for IIT-JEE yet.

Lets list out points in favour of our opinions!!

According to me, IIIT - H is better because...

• Faculty is quite impressive. Its quite comparable to that of IITs.
  
• Hyderabad, as a city and IT Hub is always an advantage.
  
• Only institute in India to offer research opportunities for under-graduates.
  
• One of the best course curriculum in India for Computer Science and Engineering.
  
• Freedom to pursue your interest.
  
• As pointed out by abhijangda, IIIT offers only 2 branches, CSE & ECE. It specialises in both of the streams.

Here are couple of interesting comparisons between IIIT Hyderabad & IIT.

IIIT vs IIT

IIIT vs IIT, which is better?

 

[alienware]

IIT's (older 5, others like IIT-R and IIT-G I can't comment on) are better than III-H any day of the week.
Placement should be the last thing in mind while selecting a UG course if you are into research.

Leave placement aside even in research work each IIT is far ahead of IIIT-H. No. of citations recieved by papers published by IIT(K) is higher than any Indian institute except IIT.

Just by including research in course doesn't means that high and useful research is done, most of research papers published in IIIT not practically implemented.

CS is not about working for Google and just coding, one has to have strong science and mathematics background. For a good CS course a good maths department is essential, which IITs have IIIT doesn't.

 

[KDroid]

Look, I am not much into research. I am kind of branch-centric.

CSE interests me a lot. CS is based more on software and theory. CSE focuses more on hardware and even a bit of electrical engineering but is still software based. That's exactly what interests me.

You may be correct.. But, on what basis are you telling that IIIT-H hasn't got a good maths department & their research papers aren't implemented?

There ought to be some strong reasons behind IIIT-H's CSE being considered better than that of IITs.

This link might give you some idea about quality of IIT YouTube - ‪IIT - Indian Institute of Technology - World's Best Educational Institutes & Pride Of India‬‏

After 7.00 min mark something about CS is being said.
As far as I know no one has said something like this about IIIT-H.

Granted IIIT H has imported lot of foreign faculty but IITs have given brilliant scholars to the world over. Check EECS dept. of any World Class University, IITs are present everywhere.
Tell me how many from IIIT H have got admit in MIT,Stanford,Berkeley,etc last year.

Although I agree IIIT H can be called as 2nd best in CS after Older 5 IITs.

Also you said "There ought to be some strong reasons behind IIIT-H's CSE being considered better than that of IITs".
Can you give us some data or links except comments from some radom forums where someone has proved this quote by you.

Nevertheless, first target getting <800 in JEE and <2000 in AIEEE so that u can have both options open.

 

[KDroid]

Thanx for your views...

I am trying to contact Mrs. Pervin Malhotra through email & would share here views over here if I get to contact her...

 

[Amrut SCIWIZ]

Hey do anybody know the mode of admissions in IIIT hyderabad !

If yes then what will be its cutoff ?

Please tell me that !

 

[KDroid]

AIEEE is the mode of admission...

AFAIK, you need a rank within 2500 for CSE...
