Which is a better option: IIT Guwahati CSE, IIT BHU CSE, IIT Bombay mech or IIT Kharagpur electrical and electronics communication?
Posted On - Mar 27, 2023- College wise - IIT Bombay > IIT Kharagpur > IIT Guwahati > IIT BHU
- Branch wise - CSE > ECE ~ Mechanical
However, this is simply a popular trend, and you don't have to follow it. It is best to make a decision based on your individual preferences.
Doing something that interests you is considerably superior in the long run to doing something you dislike solely for money since, after a few years, money no longer motivates you.
Here are some information to make your decision easier:-
- The placement scenario for ECE in IIT Kharagpur is good and stands next to the CS department in the table.
- Though ECE is the largest department when compared with others it still maintains its record well in placements.
- The NIRF Ranking of IIT Bombay is 3rd, IIT Kharagpur is 6th, IIT Guwahati is 7th and IIT BHU is 15th.
- The Average placement at IIT Bombay Mechanical is 21.82 LPA with IIT Kanpur ECE is 26.27 LPA, IIT Guwahati CSE is 25 LPA and IIT BHU CSE is 22.7 LPA
- More than 250 companies visited the IIT Kanpur campus in 2024.
I assume that you haven’t decided on a specific branch and hence you have multiple options open from different institutes and branches. Before I give you my suggestion it’s important to know that most non-CS students at IIT Bombay and IIT Kharagpur try to get a job in CS only. For this, they learn programming and sit for non-core placements.
For the same reason, I am recommending you join either BHU or Guwahati (CSE).
- BHU is known for its elaborate and old alumni base leading to better placements whereas Guwahati speaks highly of its infrastructure.
- BHU has much better connectivity owing to its city locations whereas Guwahati is situated outside the city.
- Guwahati has a larger faculty pool than BHU
In the end unless you are a North-Eastern, BHU is the best option for you. Either way you are good to go and thus can make a decision that suits your location.
