What is the difference between IIT and IISc? Which is better?
IISc is generally considered to be a better research institute than any the IITs by most engineering graduates.
However the bachelor's degree at the top IITs beats out it's corresponding course at IISc. From a purely financial stand point, the IITs are a better bet for students to become financially secure.
IISc was set up to promote science and research and it has been able to produce the goods just as well.
