IIT Bhubaneswar CSE vs. BITS Pilani ECE: Which is better for my son?

Ans: Gopal Sir, BITS Pilani’s Electronics & Communication Engineering offers a UGC-recognized, NAAC A++ and NBA-accredited curriculum, delivered by highly qualified, predominantly PhD-holding faculty. The 328-acre Pilani campus houses advanced electronics, communication, VLSI, embedded systems and central instrumentation laboratories, a dedicated Sophisticated Instrument Facility, and global research partnerships such as the USC Viterbi BE-MS MoU in AI and data analytics. Its ECE branch achieved 96% placement in 2024, with first-degree rates of 91.8% (2021), 93.6% (2022) and 90.1% (2023) via 314 recruiters including IBM, Google and Qualcomm. BITS Hyderabad’s Computer Science & Information Systems is taught by industry-seasoned faculty, supported by hands-on academic computing and research labs, DST- and MeitY-funded projects and Practice School stints at Amazon, Dell, Cisco and SAP. It recorded 87.2% BTech placement in 2023 through 320 companies with an average package of ?20.35 LPA and maintains strong industry linkages and career services.

All the BEST for the Admission & a Prosperous Future!

Ans: Hello Deevya Agarwal.
Both are strong options. Here, your interest matters most. Do not choose any branch solely for its name. Both CSE and Chemical have equal opportunities. Considering the preferences of students, it is suggested to prefer CSE @ BITs. But for a more flexible life, if possible, prefer Chemical @ IIT Kanpur. The final choice or decision will be yours.

Good luck.
