- If you are considering pursuing Mathematics and Computing at either IIT Kharagpur or IIT BHU, it is important to evaluate the strengths and opportunities offered by each institution. Here are some key points to consider in this regard:
- IIT Kharagpur's Mathematics and Computing program is considered to be better than IIT BHU's program by many experts and students in the field.
- The MSc. tag does not cause any difficulty for Mathematics and Computing graduates from IIT Kharagpur.
- The placement records in Mathematics and Computing at IIT Kharagpur are impressive and almost on par with the placements of Computer Science graduates from the institute.
- The opening and closing ranks of the Mathematics and Computing program at IIT Kharagpur have jumped by 2500 ranks in the last 5 years, indicating a growing demand for the program.
- Harshyt Goel, an alumnus of IIT Kharagpur's Mathematics and Computing department, received a package of over 80 lakhs per annum from Facebook (Silicon Valley job).
- Recent Google Summer of Code selections in 2017 from IIT Kharagpur had 8 Computer Science students and 7 Mathematics and Computing students, indicating the strong performance of the latter group.
- IIT Kharagpur is considered a "grand old" IIT with a strong reputation and legacy.
- Mathematics and Computing at IIT Kharagpur are considered to be equivalent to Computer Science and are even considered to be better for open-source developers, according to some experts.
If you are interested in pursuing Mathematics and Computing, IIT Kharagpur is a great choice with a strong reputation, impressive placement records, and opportunities for high-paying jobs both in India and abroad.
My brother is pursuing MnC from IIT Kharagpur, so I can give you an idea about the course.
Highlights:
- At IIT Kharagpur, you will get a scholarship of 60000 per year for all 5 years irrespective of your caste or income. You can also claim further up to 80000 per year, based on your research and internships during your course.
- The placement scenario is also very good at IIT Kharagpur, as many top companies visit the college every year and all are open for MnC people, except a few core companies which are department-specific and only students of those departments can sit for interviews.
- In this course, you have to study pure mathematics properly for 4-5 semesters at least, which can be very difficult and painful for most of the students.
If you are considering IIT BHU just because of the placement concern, I will advise you to choose IIT KGP. MnC at IIT KGP is really great and you won’t regret opting for it.
