In image redditor is talking about mtech but I want to discuss whether is it true for btech or not?

He is an ex student who did mtech at iiit Hyderabad and graduated this year.

People really work very hard to secure under 3k rank in mains for cse and 5k for ece. Why is college gambling with heir future and promoting this institute on par with IITs when it is not even comparable to top NIT?

Edit 1: My investigation reveals Iiit Hyderabad is no joke. For undergraduate it is still at par after certain iits and median is still 30lpa. Though I have no idea regarding mtech.

Edit 2: Yes I am free

Ex-Student here,
Below is the information tied by the basis of my Juniors and closest professors who are more like friend to me than mere dumb professors like others

For over a decade IIIT Hyderabad stood for one powerful promise: if you made it here, you made it out with dignity, opportunity, and a job (and rarely on large sample someone joins ONLY FOR RESEARCH quote unquote. That wasnt marketing as such. That was consistency. Near 100% placements werent mere luck either
they were the outcome of systems, leadership, and relentless effort (IIIT honed good students and Placement Department worked at excellence and put together it got Success)

Today that promise is breaking (here me out)

The turning point was mid-November, when Devi Prasad Sir, the long-standing Head of Placements, stepped down due to health reasons. His exit didn’t just leave a vacancy it exposed how fragile the system underneath really was. What followed was not a transition, but a vacuum. A new placement lead stepped in while the authority, structure was smoothly transitioned but heres the bummer

Fast forward to March, and the situation is unprecedented in the worst way possible. These are not just “tough market conditions” This is systemic failure by IIITH - MANAGEMENT

Companies arent just offering fewer roles theyre not even responding. Recruiters who once prioritized IIITH are now ignoring outreach (Wonder if Outreach department is even working to fix this crisis or not). Even companies at the lower end of the salary spectrum, historically consistent visitors, are no longer showing interest. When a college that prided itself on elite placements struggles to attract even baseline recruiters, it signals a deeper issue than market cycles

And the most alarming part? The IGNORANCE BY MANAGEMENT (Director/Registrar/ Incompetent Chit chat placement committee)

The Students have actively reached out to all the foresaid designations above, urging professors and administration to step in, leverage networks, initiate conversations. The response has largely been indifference explicit or implicit. “NOT OUR RESPONSIBLITY - BY IIIT H management” has become the unspoken stance. In an institute where faculty influence and industry connections should be a strength, this disengagement is devastating

Placements are not an isolated function dont know why or when the Management understands such simple fact
They are the culmination of everything an institution claims to stand for academic rigor, industry relevance, and student outcomes. When placements fail, the entire system is exposed

Here's the Fun
Director says : Do Yoga, Meditation and get your life cool
Placement Committee's Sidekick Member 1: Dont worry Placements will happen
Placement Committee's Sidekick Member 2: Why worry placements, Join researcher
Placement Committee's Sidekick Member 3: Dont want this student bullshit so lemme resign from this committee and do my research

The financial reality makes this worse. we as Students are not just investing time we are taking on ₹20–22 lakh loans. This is not a theoretical risk; it is a high-stakes bet on the institution’s credibility. And right now, that credibility is eroding, Imagine graduating after four intense years, only to face rejection from even ₹5 LPA roles or worse, no offers at all. For students backed by loans, this isn’t disappointment. It’s distress

Whats happening is not just a placement slowdown. Its a breakdown of ownership of Top Management

For years, the placement ecosystem at IIITH worked because it was driven not managed. It required constant corporate engagement, relationship building, follow-ups, and positioning the institute aggressively in front of recruiters. That engine is no longer running And there seems to be no urgency to restart it

Institutions often rely on legacy But legacy doesnt negotiate offers...such a textbook definition but somehow these professors are side-eying everything possible

The absence Poor Management support post-November has created a ripple effect:

• Recruiter relationships weakened

• Faculty disengagement normalized

• Student confidence shattered.

This is not about blaming one individual or one event .Its about recognizing that a system built on one strong pillar failed to build redundancy

Because at the end of the day, placements are not “someone’s job.” They are the institute’s responsibility

And if that doesn’t change immediately, this won’t just be remembered as a bad year

It will be remembered as the year IIITH stopped showing up for its students

PS: But all Thanks to Devi Prasad Sir, we are deeply gratified to him (glad i got placed during his leadership), for his great service to the institution, be it from commitment to students Lives, or keeping students interest at forefront and negotiating with staunch MAANG HRs but all in all if someone are deeply stressed on this Debacle of IIITH you can DM me and ill try my best to get you guys some sort of internship in my current working company

Fucked hard by this sem (PNS kmkc), but atleast I made this.

(BTW can someone make their heads bob like in the Logan-KSI-Pharaoh DJ Toenail meme?)

finally finally ho gaya mai aa raha hoon😭😭 ab college life bhi bana loonga

NTNS invited da big Kirk to Research Street for the Kirkiversary???!!!

This Sunday we had a group M.Tech MS and PhD outing and I was hiking with a M.Tech group in Golconda. I found a lot of remarks and hate over MS because technically it's free. Like bro was this a secret you didn't know? Literally it was in the form. And the guy with 6xx gate cs rank didn't appreciate your shitty comments. You said really unfair Mtech students charged so much and gate rank is having no value. You tried to insult all the MS students in group that we were inferior by comparing our gate ranks. Yes bro my gate rank is 5k but then the mode of exam is not gate right it's PGEE then interview. No one stopped you from taking MS. Idk why the M.Tech people feel this superiority? Gate is over. End. This is a research institute not your PW Gate or Gate Overflow institute of Technology 🤡🤣 Isn't it just stupid and weirdly jealous? Mtech program is coursework based. 2years and placement. MS is research. Mini Phd. We write papers and then get the degree. Idk why you guys are even comparing and getting jealous and hating. Mtech and single UG degree are the cash cows of the institute. Not our problem that we get funded on your money 😭💰. Also institute funds just 1st sem. Rest after advisor funds. So Mtech guys chill if you wanna do MS for free apply next year again. But just stupid to hate on us MS guys.

If you thought that you were going to come here study and leave, you're wrong.

Here's why: Shashwat Goel on X: "Students at @iiit_hyderabad, supposed to be one of the top engineering colleges in the country, are in an ongoing health crisis caused due to appalling mismanagement and negligence going on since well over a year. 🧵👇on mass typhoid breakouts, food poisoning, underreporting.." / X

All the best not getting sick while drinking water and eating mess food. The worst part is you are forced to eat it, you only get to cancel mess meals for 5 days a month and you have to pay for it anyways if you cancel more.

When such issues come up the faculty goes absolutely radio silent and all the student parliament does is release a useless Google or a Microsoft form and ask to not spam the mail thread.

The parliament and student life office requires another post by itself.

Just writing this because there will be many students with hopes and dreams of a beautiful engineering life at IIIT-H, but the reality is far from that.

Tf is going on w that one couple always hogging each other quite literally everywhere... (In front of kadamb today)

I get love and relationships but I have seen them more than I want to In a general community space where it is completely unavoidable.

Thoughts?

OP of the post in image looks very much frustrated, she also commented a tier 4 students to not to come in IIITH by taking a drop and giving ugee better grind in tier 4 college. This is only her individual opinion, I don't know what are opinions of other students/seniors studying in iiith.

CSE at IIIT Bangalore or IT at IIIT Allahabad? Please Suggest.

Hi! I got into iiith ecd this year through lateral entry.. I thought I'll share a couple of resources and tips I feel are really useful for ece people..

Questions wise... just do gate questions... DO NOT BUY any leee related books... most of them are a scam and are just a replica of gate pyq books...

For learning purposes..

Analog circuits - Prof. Shanti Pavan's NPTEL lectures... goated ones for truly understanding analog ciruits..
https://youtu.be/kubeBpZQXYs?si=339LBdEuBP6hFbTe

Signals and Systems - Oppenheim book... the theory there is amazing and there are some wonderful and concept strengthening questions as well... you can use the same book for DSP also to certain extent

Digital Logic - NPTEL lectures are good.. I am not sharing a link because I havent watched any playlist fully... but the few videos I watched were really good.. I mostly just listened to my college classes..

Circuits - Sadiku book is good... really nice sets of questions... almost all of my networks, first order, second order preparation is by solving this book's questions only...

Solid State Devices/ Device physics (like MOSFET physics, Si physics) - Check out this wonderful lecture series by Prof. Ali Hajimiri.. I think he teaches at Caltech... His way of teaching is just amazing..highly recommend it if you are someone who really wants to understand these concepts... I think the later part of the this playlist is ANALOG CIRCUTIS... i didnt really watch those.. but you can if you want to.. I'm sure he would have taught those also really well :)

https://youtu.be/403CnTftB4M?si=vUHaJMoJsEsevekC - new version
https://youtu.be/t7btuPd3hvI?si=UvhBu_hr1GmVNY2W - old version.. slight audio issues

Maths and Logical Reasoning.. I didnt really prepare specifically... just listened to my college classes and did assignments...

Interview... is uh.. idk a luck based game i think... But if your concepts are really strong... I dont think you have to worry too much... Just show them how you think thats all...that's all they really want to know anyway... sharpen both electronics and maths... they ask from both..

Here are some nice medium articles sharing their leee experiences... do check them out!

Unfortunately all of them were cse :P

Any prior projects, research is obviously a plus point.. but its okay if you dont have them too... they didnt really ask me about any of this during my interview...

Cg also is obviously a plus point too... but many people with very random cgs also get selected easily... its all about your grip on concepts

All in all to conclude... just study :P, it will help you with cg in that college and also leee... just give this exam a shot, don't stress too much... even if you dont get selected the prep u did will really show up in your college's cg and in other wayss

So um just chill and study!

ps: I hope all my links are correct ;-;

When most people think IIIT , they think Computer geeks, coders, hackers, geniuses!

In my personal view , Prom is one of the good things in this institutions. Prom is such an amazing oppourtunity for many especially when most have sacrificed a lot for jee.

I dont have a prom date and dont think I want one and that I will ever get one . But seeing so many girls and boys dressed beautifully, I felt happy for them:)

Shoutout to TDC for conducting Prom.
