When you are considering CSE at IIT Indore and IITP, the major difference that comes into play is the student activities and the groups that will help you shape your career than any faculty or curriculum. In my opinion, IIT Indore is much better as compared it IIT Patna.

You will also find a really good functional programming group at IIT Indore. It also has a number of ACM ICPC contests that are enriched into you right from your junior year. The senior-junior interaction is also pretty great considering CSE. Here is some more information regarding IIT Indore:

  • Location: IIT Indore is based in the industrial capital of Madhya Pradesh. You will find a number of IT companies including those like TCS and Infosys which are building large campuses in Indore. The food here is really good too.
  • CSE Department: The department at IIT Indore is excellent. It has helped students partake in many worldwide coding competitions and they have qualified thrice for the finals in ACM ICPC. This clearly proves how good the coding culture at the department is. 
  • Campus: With an area of 510 acres, you will find that the campus has all the necessary infrastructure and there will be no dearth of necessities there.
  • Co-curricular activities: The student gymkhana here takes care of all the co-curricular activities on campus. There are many different clubs like dance, literary, music as well as kalakriti, etc. The annual fest ‘Fluxus’ is the largest techno-cultural fest in central India. The i5 summit is also one of the largest entrepreneurship summit organized by IIM Indore and IIT Indore.

Additionally, you should also consider the opening and closing ranks at both institutes. From my knowledge, IIT Indore CSE accepts higher ranks as compared to IITP which accepts lower ranks. Clearly, the former has good rank holders, good faculty, and better coding culture. It is much more developed.

My brother is pursuing MTech Mechatronics from IIT Patna. So, I have some ideas about the degree program. If you are a Robotics or Mechatronics enthusiast, you are perfect for this course. 

  • The course curriculum is great. It is easy to score decent CGPA as compared to other departments.
  • There are two departmental labs. One of the labs has necessary instrumentation, to carry out the course work. The other is set up by Bosch to study engine ECUs.
  • Placement for this branch is average. If you are talented and work for it you can also get internship offers.
  • Companies like TVS, Tata Innovation Lab visit the campus for R&D profiles.

MTech Mechatronics at IIT Patna is a decent option, you can definitely go for it.

Among these MNNIT Allahabad is the best option for CSE. It has a strong alumni base. Students get good exposure and ample networking opportunities. The seniors are good. They will help you learn the basics of coding to complex algorithms. 

The CSE department of MNNIT has a huge list of recruiters. Companies such as Amazon, Google, Microsoft, etc. take part in campus recruitment. During MNNIT Allahabad placements in 2022, the average and highest CTC offered to CSE students were INR 25.89 LPA and INR 118 LPA, respectively.

IIT Jodhpur Mechanical is the best option among these. You can do industrial internships right from the first year. Students usually do their internships in companies like Mahindra & Mahindra, L&T, TVS, etc. You can choose to do your internships in other companies through the industrial immersion program. These internships give students insight into the working of the industry. So, they can choose to do a project of industrial interest as their B.Tech project. 

IIT Jodhpur Mechanical faculty is brilliant. Most of the faculty members are actively engaged in research work, especially in Robotics, Materials, Manufacturing, and Thermal. If you are interested in some research project, they will be able to guide you. 

According to IIT Jodhpur Mechanical placement for the last few years, the average CTC offered to the students of this branch is INR 14.33 LPA. Mahindra, ISRO, DRDO, and many other core companies recruit students through campus placements.

No particular brand is better than the other as it all depends on your own preference and inclinations. One needs to stop thinking that mechanical is the most demanded branch. In my opinion, every branch is important and has the scope to attract people who are passionate about it. Hence it is illogical to say that one branch is superior to another. 

I suggest you go for a branch not because it has scope but because you are genuinely interested in that branch and are ready to pursue a career in it. For instance, my brother chose mechanical engineering not because he thought it had a higher scope than mining, but because my father himself is a mechanical engineer and he wanted to continue the legacy. 

Rather than following the sheep mentality and choosing a certain branch, you can refer to the following options

  • Check the curriculum of the particular branch and course you are opting for. This will give you a fair idea of what you are going to invest your time and effort
  • Another way is to go through the Gymkhana websites of every college and get an idea about the activities done by them.
  • Contact your seniors to get an idea about the BTech projects.
  • Mechanical engineering is not necessarily the safest option. Hence you should be open to non-core jobs as well.
  • I suggest you refrain from being influenced by an infrastructure of the campus is IITP is new and is currently operating from a temporary campus, its facilities and not in the same level with the IIT Kgp campus. However, very soon it is going to shift to a permanent campus.
  • IITP is relatively new and as you can use your own inputs to bring about changes whereas IIT KGP is an old institute, which has a foundation that ages way back so you won’t be able to input much of your own.
  • No other person can make this decision for you, but you yourself. This is a big decision that is going to affect your entire college life. So choose your branch wisely.

Last year some of my friends were also caught in this dilemma and wondered the same question. It is recommended to contact seniors from the colleges you want to compare through social media. Check out each college's gymkhana and college websites to see what events they are participating in. You'll get a sense of what kind of life you'll have in the coming 4 years. 

The following table shows a brief insight of both institutes:

There is no way to find everything in one college that you desire, and there will always be advantages and disadvantages. You should make the right decision for yourself if the available facilities and atmosphere will be productive to you or not. 

Now, for the IIT BBS electrical and mechanical departments, they have separate schools with full lab facilities on a permanent campus. The majority of the professors are from IIT Kharagpur, and they are all knowledgeable and helpful to the students, given that they are all highly qualified and experts in their fields.

One of my friends studied at IIT Patna and this might be able to help you with your question. IIT Patna has better infrastructural facilities compared to IIT Jodhpur. He has been on the campus for almost 2 years and the facilities are really really good. Whereas IIT Jodhpur has recently shifted to their new campus, so it will take time for them to adjust or maintain the new setting.

IIT Patna also has 10 more seats in CSE Department than IIT Jodhpur. According to 2020 

NIRF Ranking, IIT Patna (26th rank) has performed far better than IIT Jodhpur (53rd Rank).

The following table gives a brief insight on both institutes:

If you can contact someone from IIT Jodhpur, make sure you can get a complete picture of the university. At last, both are very good colleges in India with excellent facilities and opportunities. For some, Patna is a stereotype, so don’t think in this manner as IIT Patna is a really good institute to go for.

Among these, IIT Patna has the best CSE department. It has an active coding culture. NJACK is the computer science club of IIT Patna. The institute has a competitive coding department, cyber security department, and Linux distro department. Students of IITP have maintained an impressive record on the major competitive coding forums. 

The placement record for CSE has been impeccable over the years. According to IIT Patna placement highlights of recent years, the average CTC offered to Computer Science students is around INR 38.79 LPA.

IIT Patna is better for CSE. It has a great competitive coding culture. The official computer club of IIT Patna is NJACK. It is a thriving community of coders. They organize monthly contests to promote the coding culture further. 

The strong competitive coding culture of the institute is one of the reasons, this branch has a good placement record. IIT Patna CSE average package had been INR 26.95 LPA, for the 2022 campus drive. 

The research interface for CS is nothing sort of phenomenal. IIT Patna has signed an MoU with Flipkart for joint research in Artificial Intelligence-Natural Language Processing-Machine Learning

The institute added two new branches related to CSE, i.e. BTech AI and Data Science, BS in Mathematics and Computing. So, the overall technical culture on campus is going to advance.
