There are multiple factors to be taken into consideration while looking for the best branch. The most common criteria upon branch selection are the cutoff required for admission and the placements achieved upon course completion. Looking at the IIT Hyderabad placements 2024, CSE emerged as the top branch in terms of the highest package received. However, CSE is the most competitive branch with a 2024 Round 1 closing rank of 649 for the General category candidates. Looking at the IIT Hyderabad CSE cutoff (Round 1) for the past three years (2022 to 2024), a declining trend was observed. From 585 in 2022, it has declined to 649 in 2024. This means it has become easier to get IIT Hyderabad admission 2024 in BTech CSE compared to the last two years. Thus, indicating more students competing for the limited seats at IITH. Despite being the toughest branch to get into, CSE is also the most fruitful branch in terms of placements after graduation. Students should also consider the placement percentage while selecting the most suitable branch for them.
