Q: Which is better, civil engineering at IIT Bhubaneswar or metallurgical engineering at IIT Indore?

As your choice of the branch is different it’s difficult to choose which will be the better choice. You should choose the branch you are more interested in and the institute which offers the batter program for that branch. Metallurgical engineering is a sub-branch of Mechanical engineering, whereas Civil is a core branch and have more option for higher studies. However, the employment opportunities for both branches are almost the same. NIRF ranked IIT Bhubaneswar 17th in the engineering category. The department of Civil Engineering, the Scchool of Infrastructure at IIT Bhubaneswar have 8 laboratories well-equipped with modern facilities to carry out academic projects and research works. In 2019 the JEE Advanced closing cutoff for Civil Engineering was 7054-14844. According to the placement statistics, 89% of civil engineering students got placements in 2019. The average package for civil engineering was INR 11.51 LPA. Core companies that visited the campus for employing Civil Engineering students were HPCL, IOCL, L&T. IIT Indore is ranked at 13th place in NIRF 2019. The institute offers a good Metallurgical Engineering program with decent placement. In 2019 the JEE Advanced closing cutoff for the Metallurgical Engineering branch was 9795. Around 99% of the students got placements in 2018-19 at IIT Indore and the average package was INR 16.5 LPA. Whereas, the highest package was around 43 LPA. The top companies that participated in the placement were HPCL, Honda, Bharat Petroleum, etc.

Question 1

Which is a better option for EE, IIT Gandhinagar, IIT Indore, or IIT Bhubaneswar?

Accepted Answer

Be it any branch, I would always choose IIT Bhubaneswar over 2nd generation IITs such as IIT Gandhinagar and IIT Indore. Let’s discuss the worth of IIT Bhubaneswar in terms of common aspects like Academics: An easy way to judge the academic standards of an Institute is to compare the quality and quantity of research papers published. In these terms, IIT Bhubaneswar has an evident advantage over IIT Gandhinagar. Faculty: Another major criteria are the faculty as they are responsible for publishing papers. In this aspect too Bhubaneswar has an upper hand as it has professors from IIT Kharagpur and Kanpur teaching in various departments in the institute. It also has foreign professors that provide the necessary exposure. Sports: IIT Bhubaneswar owns this one as it is the first of the 2nd Gen IITs to be co-hosting the INTER-IIT sports meet in 2019. This fact in itself is a testament to the excellent infrastructural facilities. Infrastructure: IIT Bhubaneswar has excellent sports as well as other facilities in the form of cricket, and football; courts for tennis, badminton, volleyball, and table tennis; gym facilities in both the girls' and boys' hostels and the new swimming pool. Extracurricular: Several societies and councils are supported by the Institute that promotes extracurricular culture. The college has participated in the Inter-IIT cultural meet in various events such as music, drama, literature, debating, and also dance. Hostel: The accommodation facilities are top notch with more than basic amenities such as Washing machines, water heaters, 24-hour water supply, and two common rooms with TVs for all the hostellers to watch exciting matches together. The hostel has 24/7 Wi-Fi facilities and is a great place to make friends. IIT Bhubaneswar is an excellent place to create memories and enjoy a rich college experience.

Question 2

I have to decide between IIT Patna CSE AND IIT Indore CSE. How is IIT Patna rated?

Accepted Answer

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 &lsquo;Fluxus&rsquo; 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.

Question 3

Which is better for CSE: ISM Dhanbad, IIT Indore or IIT Mandi?

Accepted Answer

IIT Indore is a good choice among the three options for computer science and engineering (CSE). The reasons for the same are as follows. It has a good coding culture and has grown tremendously in this regard. The students proved this in the international ACM ICPC contest. Indore is not only a good city, but it is also a local IT hub with a reasonable number of good companies in the vicinity as compared to Dhanbad or Mandi. The placements are more or less equal for the three institutes. So, it cannot be the deciding factor. The overall growth of the institute is also very impressive. So on a preference, IIT Indore will come first followed by IIT Mandi and ISM Dhanbad.

Question 4

Which is better, IIT, Indore electrical or NIT, Surathkal CSE?

Accepted Answer

IIT Indore ranks 13th by NIRF among the engineering colleges. It consists of a faculty strength of 62 members who are globally recognized. CSE is one of the best branches at NIT Surathkal in terms of student quality and faculties. NIT Surathkal is ranked 21st among the best engineering colleges in India, with an alumni strength of 40,000 globally, among which most of them are working in IT and Technical firms. Here are some of the factors that you should consider while choosing between IIT Indore Electrical and NIT Surathkal CSE. Categories IIT Indore NIT Surathkal No of seats 30 45 Course Fee INR 2.34 LPA INR 1.51 LPA Cutoff 1868-3295 1000-1600 Entrance exam JEE Advanced JEE Main Average package INR 22.92 LPA INR 15 LPA Admission: IIT Indore: The candidates must have qualified 10+2 with physics, chemistry, and mathematics as compulsory subjects to seek admission for BTech Electrical Engineering. Admission will be based on the marks obtained in JEE Advanced. NIT Surathkal: The essential eligibility criteria for BTech CSE admission is 10+2 in the science stream, with a minimum of 75% aggregate. The candidates&rsquo; selection is based on the JEE Main score, and the seats are allocated through JoSAA counseling. Placements: IIT Indore:  The top recruiters of IIT Indore are Accenture, Amazon, Pepsico, Tech Mahindra, PwC, Vodafone, Xiaomi, Philips, Google, etc. The placement average for the institute is 95% and the highest package offered in the last placement drive was 50 LPA. NIT Surathkal: The top recruiters of NIT Surathkal are Capgemini, Byjus, Microsoft, Qualcomm, Wipro, Oyo, Amazon, Morgan Stanley, etc. The placement rate NIT Surathkal is 100% and the highest package offered is 39 LPA. NIT Surathkal CSE is no doubt much better than electrical from IIT Indore. However, if you go for placements, future scope, reputation, and environment, then indeed NIT Surathkal CSE is a better option, but if you are looking for an IIT tag, go for IIT Indore.
