Has my daughter made the right decision by taking a CSE at IIIT Hyderabad instead of electrical at IIT Roorkee?

Yes, your daughter has definitely done a good job by choosing IIIT Hyderabad CS instead of IIT Roorkee Electrical. Here are a few reasons why

• The placements for the CS branch are always better than Electrical branch no matter which institute
• Someone who isn’t sure of their interests yet can go for CS as it has a wider scope
• The placements at IIIT Hyderabad CSE branch are excellent with a 100% placement percentage. This year the highest CTC was recorded at INR 74 LPA while the average package stood at INR 32 LPA.
• Moreover, IIIT Hyderabad offers an excellent environment conducive to learning and inculcating coding skills.
• Top IT companies like Apple, Facebook, and Google visit the campus during placements and offer excellent packages 
• Having only 2 branches, IIIT Hyderabad has an environment that focuses solely on info technology thus enhancing the overall learning experience.

I personally think your daughter has made a wise decision, unlike the sheep mentality that people have who go blindly for IITs just for the tag.
