IIT Gandhinagar - Indian Institute of Technology Answered Questions

IIT's are prestigious but when it comes to PhD, you should probably opt for a course abroad if you have decent marks in your undergraduate and graduate programs, as the job opportunities almost triple.
IITs are mainly good for pursuing engineering, that's what I believe

It depends on which branch you're comparing in both colleges, which direction you want to proceed in! If you just compare entry rankings, then Hyderabad performs better. But to know about how teaching, placements and conditions are actually in both the colleges, you need to ask both the sides about their stuff.
Also, once you find yourself more comfortable at a place, you might perform better, compared to being uneasy at a probably much higher ranked place.
Now when it comes to Hyderabad, if you perform decently well from your side, you'll definitely gain a lot from this college, specifically if you're in CS-related fields. (I can tell that it's at least awesome in CS, EE related fields, not much idea about other branches). People get nice placements (Google, Microsoft, Qualcomm, etc.) and get into good grad schools (Stanford, CMU, UIUC, etc.) for research. Once you land here, it totally depends on the efforts you put to gain from it, be it in any direction.

Hello Jay,
IIT Gandhinagar is good. It was established in 2008 and is developing fast to become one of the top IITs. Though now, it doesn't come in top IITs, but surely it will. If you are getting admission here or planning to get, it's a good institute.
Good luck.
