IIT-K Electrical or IIIT-Hyd CS?

My nephew has both these options (and IITD/B Mech,etc) to choose from . From the perspective of career growth, which one is better. Consider all factors like prospects in CS, institute brand, etc that help in building a career.

Don't listen to anyone here. IIIT Hyd CS over everything, except maybe IIT Bombay CS, or IIT Delhi CS.

Placements, peer group, academics, campus life, alumni network and pretty much every other thing. And no placements at IIIT are not equivalent to old IITs. I graduated from IIT KGP Mech.

I'm a recent grad from IIIT-H. While I thoroughly enjoyed my time and job opportunities are on par with top IITs, I would say go for IIT-K just for the brand name. The jobs you'll be eligible with electrical during placements wont be very different from CS anyways.

The overall campus life, peer group, brand name you'll get at iit is unmatched anywhere else. Sure, if you wanna look at only one aspect that is placements, then both colleges are comparable. But when it comes to overall experience, exposure that one gets, etc iit kanpur is miles ahead of iiit Hyderabad. Don't just look at that shiny cse degree. Other things such as campus life, exposure to varied disciplines matter too. I myself graduated in cse from 2nd gen IIT. From my pov, in your case, iit kanpur wins by a mile. You can ask any doubts if you have.
