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

Shalini Sahu

30 Mar 23

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.

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

Shivangi Singh

20 Mar 21

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.

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

Juhi Ghose

22 Apr 21

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.

What should i choose between IIT Indore (cse) and IIT Delhi (chemical engineering)?

Pratik Parikh

11 Apr 23

For an engineering student, his choice of branch is very crucial as it is the determining factor of his career. The institute is important no doubt but only for 4 years. For the rest of your life, your branch will shape your career more than anything.

The scope of Chemical Engineering is very wide and covers a humongous range of fields like

Oil and Gas industry
Petrochemical industry
Fertilizer industry
Nuclear industry
Steel industry
Paint industry
Pharmaceutical industry
Cement industry

Chemical Engineering graduates are sought by the above industries at large.

The work of a chemical engineer is to operate the plants optimally. He is also responsible for designing the plants along with a team of other branch engineers. India has less scope in this industry in comparison to abroad. With topics covered like thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, and heat transfer the branch has more of a physics element than a chemical element.

It’s completely on you which industry or nature of work you are willing to go for. It’s important to note that the career growth of a chemical engineer will not be as fast-paced as that of a CS graduate but the wait will be worth it in the end.

Is it better to do chemical engineering at the IIT Madras or computer engineering at IIT Indore?

Ronit Sharma

31 Mar 23

Both the programs, Chemical Engineering at IIT Madras and Computer Engineering at IIT Indore offers excellent courses and opportunities. However, the choice of the program is more of a personal decision as it depends on career goals, personal interests, and other criteria. It's not a hidden fact that Computer Engineering has a wider scope in almost all sectors in comparison to Chemical engineering. So obviously it is a safe option, but what if you take a specific branch just for placements and then regret it later?

If you take Chemical you can also change your branch to Computer later but it won't be possible Vive Versa. You must decide after considering all factors and most importantly your interests. Find out what makes you happy the most out of coding, data analysis, or research in a chemical lab, finding solutions for medicinal products, health, synthetic materials, and so on.

There are examples of IITians dropping out to chase their dreams after realizing they were chasing the wrong branch. Only you can identify your innermost driving factor that will sustain your happiness later on in life.
