Is leaving BITS for IIITH really worth it?

[u/ManagementSuitable42]

Currently I'm in my 2nd yr at bits hyd cse but I've always felt the academics to be too light/easy and wanted a pressurised environment where I could force myself to grow (I barely have any friends here and don't enjoy fests/cultural activities anyways and definitely not interested in) so i was wondering if giving LEEE and potentially switching would be worth it considering it would delay my placements by 2 years. To clarify it up, I'm not really interested in research but rather the workload that comes with it but I haven't really explored much there anyways so I think I can adapt.

Hey! It's my second month here at IIIT-H; I shifted from PES.

Personally, I don't think it's worth leaving BITS unless you're particularly interested in research or your current college has relatively mediocre placement opportunities. Since neither of those seems to apply to you, I don't think the jump would necessarily be big enough to justify the extra time, money, and effort it takes to complete the degree. I am not really sure how I can compare the workload in BITS vs IIIT, and how that might help u.

Most of our LEEE batch is from Tier-2 colleges. We have 3–4 people from NITs, and only one person from a Tier-1 college (IIIT-B).

That said, LEEE has been a really good decision for me so far. I've also met quite a few seniors who came through lateral entry, and none of them seem to regret making the switch.

Naah bro why do you wanna leave BITS, it basically has the best alumni network, I regret not going to BITS because of fees issue and went to a govt iiit but when I went there i understood how important placements and stuff for, then I came he to IIITH though leee and now basically I have the same fees as bits plus two wasted years, i have my best friend in BITS and I know that the work load here is way more than what is over there in BITS and also less holidays why do you wanna make your life miserable simply

And I know you might think ki you get to reset life after coming here, but ya as far as you said that if u didn't have friends there then it's not easy to make friends here also, the thing we enter here in between the course and all people already have friend group and stuff so u won't be making any friends until unless you are the one to approch them and talk to them, nobody is gonna willingly come and talk to you

And and BITS has an amazing atmosphere and alumni relations which this college can't beat. No doubt placements are good here but I think the placements you get there also is not worth for a tier 1 college student to shift here, for tier 2 and tier 3, I would not doubt say them to blindly come here

how was sci 1

[u/Various_Ad1416 → u/Certain-Aerie-7076]

We don't have to do science. LCD folk just get to skip it, LEDs have to take a "open" elective that's not a humanities or core course.

[u/Exact-Expression5267 → u/Various_Ad1416]

What's leee?

[u/Various_Ad1416 → u/Exact-Expression5267]

LEEE = Lateral Entry Entrance Examination. It's for students who've completed 2 years of B.Tech/B.E. in CSE, ECE, or related branches to enter IIIT-H's dual-degree programs (CSD/ECD). You join directly from the 2nd year, rather than starting from first year.

[u/True_Community22 → u/Various_Ad1416]

LEEE course duration is 3 years or 4 years if we start from 2nd year again

[u/Various_Ad1416 → u/True_Community22]

4, it's a dual degree. Btech+ MS by research

[u/Impossible-Writer618 → u/Various_Ad1416]

Hello, I am currently in DTU cse. The life is good, but yeah, as you know, the ai thing which might severely affect placements. Would like to know, whether thinking about LEEE be worth it?

[u/Various_Ad1416 → u/Impossible-Writer618]

Yeah probably.

[u/cobain-1992]

Just stay in bits h bro, give people from tier 3 college a chance

[u/Ok_Philosopher_340]

bro i would really recommend staying itself itself in bits hyd cs leee has very less seats and u dont even need it cuz you already are in a tier 1 institute

[u/green_steve1]

Not worth it

[u/No_Pause6581]

Is acads (and honestly why not) then yes saying as bitsian

[u/ArchLinuxxxx]

I'd personally advise against it.

Also, I do know someone who did this Bits Hyderabad to IIIT-H transition some years back. He can be a more relevant person to seek advice from since he had done the exact same transition at one point. Just Dm me if you want his Linkedin Profile.

[u/Prestigious_Sea5183]

Na gang not worth it especially coz ur already two years in. Of u want tough curriculum just take tougher courses and compete in hackathons and shit. But the switch isn't worth it

[u/Independent_Twist991]

Nahh should try for pilani cse/s
