Should I join IIIT Hyderabad or NIT trichy?(Core branch in both)

Hello Ratan,

Thanks for contacting Careers360.

Please note that NIT TRICHY and IIIT Hyderabad are not really comparable.

If you want to focus only on Computer Science and Academics then IIIT HYDERABAD is an excellent place because Coding and SW Engineering Subjects are taught right from the 1st Semester.

In NIT TRICHY, during the 1st year, you Study various Subjects belonging to other disciplines as well. Infact the first and second Semesters are commonly taught to all disciplines.

IIIT HYDERABAD has a small Campus and there is not much focus on extra curricular activities, other than Coding competitions. Atmosphere is extremely competitive.

NIT TRICHY has one of the biggest Engineering College Campuses in India (around 880 acres). There is lot of encouragement to participate in various clubs and sports. It has FESTEMBER, one of the most famous Inter College Cultural Festivals in India. it has PRAGYAN, one of the best Inter College Technical Festivals in the country. The Campus life is simply awesome and you will enjoy your stay here.

IIIT HYDERABAD is a relatively new College but rated very highly these days and many consider it to be among the Top 15 Colleges in India.

NIT TRICHY has been the best NIT in India since past 50 years and consistently among the Top 10 Engineering Colleges in India since the 1960s.

Hope this helps. Good luck!
