Why do some people consider IIIT Hyderabad to be underrated?

Question

Arun Raina · Accepted Answer

Well, I've heard some mixed opinions about IIIT Hyderabad. One story that sticks out is about a friend who studied there. She faced some serious issues with her thesis review. Initially, it was rejected due to plagiarism concerns. After redoing it, it was then considered 'unsuitable' because it was seen as just an application of existing models to a different case study.

She felt the institute didn't value the practical application of research. Adding to the problem, she alleged biased comments from a reviewer. Despite these setbacks, she didn't give up. She later pursued a PhD at IIT Hyderabad, where her thesis was highly regarded and even won an award.

From her experience, she felt that IIIT Hyderabad might not prioritize research as much as it should and that there could be biases towards certain departments, particularly CS. This might be why some people feel it's underrated compared to IITs.
