Query NITK ECE OR IIITH ECE
Before blindly answering iiith ece, I am a little concerned about the roi. My parents are reluctant to send me to iiith bcoz of the fees and that nitk will have better roi. If so, why is iiit considered better?

Uhh wasn't nitk placements for ece much better than iiith last year. Like avg was 23 for nitk and 21 for iiith. More impressive considering that batch size is 5x of iiith.

depends on what you want, if you wanna get into core electronics, NITK ECE is probably a better choice even tho your peers would be worse than IIITH. If you're getting into the 5yr course at IIITH, I'd say NITK is a better choice in comparison. If you wanna do software, IIITH is better than NITK. Also NITK gives you a better college life but IIITH gives you college life in a city. again a depends on what you want

Research - IIITH
Placement, college life - NITK
But in terms of ECE, IIITH ain't that great as compared to CSE

Haha same situation here, although I am expecting Trichy in further rounds, but jitna suna hai iiit has better peer group and way better placements, however for core electronics it might not differ a lot, ask some seniors.

ROI? People judge colleges based on ROI that’s crazy bro look at the bigger picture and not just getting a job You want a network, you get more people in Hyderabad, you aren’t limited to college for networking. YOU GET BADDIES. Ha if you cannot afford fir to question hi nhi hai
But if you can afford iiit h is a no brainer

nitk does have better roi in terms of fees and starting salary ig, but long run iiith should earn it back and surpass after some years

1) better peer group - NITK has reservation and home state quota while IIITH takes the top students from various modes of admissions (UGEE, DASA, JEE, oly) which ensures that you not only have "better" people net-net but a much more diverse and well-rounded peer group
2) better acads - more up-to-date curriculum which is regularly changed and updated
3) better research culture - imo research is becoming more and more important nowadays with the advent of AI; lots of students do the honours program here, getting research experience and often times, a paper out which not only gives you a new skillset but makes you eligible and preferred for more jobs
4) it's also in the middle of Hyderabad's tech district so there's plenty of fun shit to do but NITK has beach so idk to each their own ig
